I like these review videos. Even though it’s sponsored I feel like you do a good job of an honest review showing the pros and cons. Keep em coming.

Cool channel! Just bing-watched like 5 videos in a row and I really like your style lol, you earned a new subscriber!
Just one thing you should know regarding the energy usage test. If you want to conduct a real test you should fill the fridge, as cooling a fridge filled with air uses much less energy than cooling a fridge filled with food/water/cans or other stuff, as the heat capacity of those would be many times higher. Just cooling the empty fridge and later putting stuff inside wouldn't really do the trick here, as the fridge has to take the heat from the food and move it outside for it to cool things down. If I were camping with one of these, I'd try to fill the fridge and cool it all I could at home before disconnecting it from the mains and using battery power (for example, in your car), as keeping the insides with a constant temperature would be much less taxing on the battery than having to cool everything down first.

That thing looks huge in the back seat. I wish we could work with a company to make one that is long so that it could fit in our gear tunnel on a sled.

How many kwh does the fridge use powered by the rivian battery over 12hrs?

Useful video. I’m considering a fridge for a three-day overlanding trip on my R1S. Would you consider taking a battery pack instead of using your R1T’s battery?

Nice, it doesn't use much at all.

Wonder how this compares to the Ryobi portable fridge

[NOLA_Mike]

I suspect the temperature is moving by 1℃ with each change which is why you're seeing 1-2℉ moves

Very informative review video! I agree that you do a good job of giving an honest review. Looking forward to seeing how it does out on an adventure!

[nickolashaustein]

is there a way to keep it powered on 24/7 in the Rivian?

Will be interesting to see what you think of it over time. If it is worth having that big of a cooler but losing the space in the rear seat vs having a smaller cooler that can fit under the tonneau etc
