Review: This OTR Driver - Still likes it-So Far! - I'm a new owner to this brand and so I'm skeptical when it comes to portable refrigerator freezers that go in a big truck. My concerns are will they hold up to vibrations of driving over the road as many have troubled compressors that blink out as a result of vibrations. Many name brand units can be rather pricey but I try to go for one that has good ratings and hopefully it will last more than 2 years. 5 plus years would be super! Anyway, what brings me to this Whynter (Winter?) Brand was because my beloved Norcold 45 after 12 years of bliss no longer would refrigerate. It still works but, it freezes everything! I only want it to work as a refrigerator so here I am. Can't find my beloved Norcold anywhere on the market as they are either soldout from reputable places or folks are selling them at an outrageously jacked up price. So, when I found this unit, it checked off all the marks. The size is right for my space, it seems well built. It's actually taller and deeper than my old unit and I like that. It seems to cool down rather quickly to my set temperature of 36°. I have an inverter and it is running seamlessly on AC power without any issues. Mind you this is just day one but I'm writing this review to say that so far I like what this unit is giving me. It was priced very well and it is actually made very well and is working very well. I even bought the travel cover. It runs very quietly as I can barely hear when the compressor is running. The boxy shape doubles as a nice table actually. I plan to update after a month of using it and hope it will stay positive. I need to see how it handles after some vibrations of being over the road. Because it's built like a tank with all metal. I especially like the metal handles which are surprisingly comfortable when you're trying to carry it. It is heavy but manageable as I was able to get it into my truck but it was empty. Also the little lady who delivered it from desertcart had to walk upstairs with it in its big well packaged box and she managed without any issues so I definitely can't complain about it being too heavy. Although I don't plan to move it in and out, especially with food in it, so if that were the case I would be taking the food out before moving it. One slight drawback that I feel could be improved is actually where the controls are. Because they are located on the short end at the bottom of the right side, it would have been nicer to have them on the long end on the side where the unit opens and closes so that I can actually look back and see what the temperature readings are. So for extra measure, I have my thermometers placed inside the unit so that when I open the case I can actually see how cold the temperatures are inside. As I said before, I have it set the 36° but because heat rises and my thermometers are at the top they are registering at 40° so there's probably a plus or minus 4° on the temperatures. It's all fine with me as long as it stays under 42° which is in the safe refrigeration zone. Oh, and there is no way to change which way the top will open as it is fixed. So today I'm going to end with giving this a very glowing review and hope it stays that way as I will update this and let you know how things go after a month or so and hopefully after a year of using it. As it stands now for my first day of using, I would definitely recommend. It comes at a good price point, is well built, and it works well. UPDATE: Well, my update is coming about 3 months later..lol Good thing is that I can't report any problems. I did end up turning the unit so that I could always see the control panel and temperature. The lid is not reversible and so now the lid opens from the seat side or opposite my bunk. The temp inside has held steady as I switched it to the automic temp setting, which I believe works best. I believe the automatic setting keeps the compressor from working unnecessarily. I just plug into the DC outlet and go. I added a picture of the new positioning. Hope it continues to function without incident. I still would recommend.
Review: Efficient, quiet, capable. Excellent fridge. - I bought this for my solar off grid camper because it runs directly off of 24v DC. My electrical system is all 24v and appliances that bypass the inverter will save you a lot of power in the long run. This fridge is amazing. It just sips power. When the compressor is running it's drawing maybe 90 Watts max at 24 volts. Once it gets down to temperature it just kicks on every 20 minutes or so depending on the ambient temperature. Once it gets cold it stays cold. The chest freezers are very efficient; cold air just sits in the basin rather than spilling out like when you open the front door of a standing fridge. I sleep right next to it when I'm camping, I do hear it click on and off but it's so quiet it's never woken me up or distracted me, even on very quiet nights. I took the latches and hinges off to fit it into a tighter space; the lids still sink in snugly and seal every time. If they don't close all the way it will let you know with a polite beep after a few minutes. The controls are easy to figure out. You can make either side a refrigerator or freezer (or both) which is a great idea. If you want to turn the whole thing into a meat freezer you can do that. I have the larger area as a refrigerator, I set them both at low temperatures and this fridge can keep both compartments that cold. Ice does build up in the freezer and I have to empty it out, let it melt and dry out the freezer every six months or so. I live in Florida with constant high humidity so this may not be an issue for everyone. It did arrive with a small dent but not a big deal. If I would change anything I would order a longer one. When I go on long trips I fill it to the brim and it fills up fast, especially with lots of ice in the freezer. This met all of my needs and exceeded all of my expectations. Highly recommended!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much current does it draw when in refrigerator mode and in the freezer mode?  Thank you.**
A: I have had my FM45-G for over 1 year and monitored the unit’s DC power usage. On a day when the temperature is in the low 80’s during the day and the low 60’s at night, it uses about 260 watt hours over 24 hours when set in the refrigerator mode at 38 degrees. That’s about 21-22 amp hours per day.  With my van’s 95 amp hour AGM battery, I can go about 2.5 days before I need to recharge the battery. I have not yet used it as a freezer.

**Q: Can you use vertically, with the door opening as convential refrigerator?**
A: I wouldn't recommend it. You would have to remove the handle on what side you wanted to set on the ground. The door is flush with the side so you would have to elevate it or the door would scrape on the ground. You would loose a lot of space as there is no shelving system and everything would poor out when you opened it. You would also block vents if you set it up that way and probably overheat the compressor. So in short no it is meant to be used as shown in the picture, might need to look for a different product to use it like a traditional fridge.

**Q: Can anyone tell me about a solar panel / battery system to run this? I would like to use it in a small RV.**
A: Yes this will work.   You will need a solar panel that will recharge the battery draw (you can calculate this from the watt output of different panels) and a battery large enough to provide the current draw without getting below 10.5 before it gets recharged by the panel.  You also would want a marine style deep cycle or at least a start/deep cycle combo battery.  Remember that solar panels and batteries are not 100% efficient so calculate the load accordingly.  All that said I do just this on my boat along with running additional DC loads and don't need to run my aux engine to recharge the hose bank while at anchor.

**Q: Do I have tto use the metal racks that came with the unit?  Any problems if I don't?**
A: The racks are there not only to help organize the food but also to protect the thin aluminumlining. It can be rather easily damaged by hard frozen product if allowed to drop to the bottom of the freezer. I have a few such dents before I learned my lesson. If a hole does penetrate ,that hole would then become a place to capture moisture when defrosted and when stored would become a breeding ground for mold.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Large, sturdy, refrigerator/ freezer
*by M***1 on November 9, 2023*

As the description states on Amazon, don't confuse this with plastic ice chest style 12v coolers. This is a heavy duty unit with steel construction. As such, it's weight is heavy so it's a trade off there. But if you need a large capacity heavy duty unit, this will work for you. This has a large capacity. The removable wire baskets make it easy to fill and empty out food and drinks. The controls are easy to access and manage. It appears well made heavy duty construction with a nice fit and finish. I harvested a large mule deer in Montana. All of the boned out meat from the entire deer was easily fit into both sides of the fridge/freezer. I adjust temps on both sides down to quickly cool the meat. A thousand miles later I arrived home, and the meat was perfect and ready to process. It would have easily frozen the meat on both fridge and freezer sides, had I elected to turn the temps down lower. No more large ice chests, messing with ice or dry ice to keep harvested game meat from spoiling! Interior was easy and simple to clean. I also use this unit as my fridge/freezer in my Ford Transit for long trips and camping. The capacity of this unit should keep a couple of people in food and drink for a week or so. I run it off the vehicle while traveling, and off a portable solar generator (Jackery) at night. Works perfect. The unit is quiet and did not bother us when sleeping just a few feet away. I highly recommend this unit.
