We have used ours for weekend cruising with great results. The power cord (Cigarette lighter cord) shorted, but other that that, it has worked perfectly. I don't have an AH or AMPS meter, so I cannot tell you how much juice it has used, but I don't think is is alot. Our house bank was 150ah, just upgraded to 300ah, so I think this could be run on the highest cooling setting on weekends, and full time if we get some solar/wind power onboard. Ours sits on a piece of closed cell foam, on the sole of the boat, by the nav station.

Has anyone actually used one with decent results?
Do they work as advertised?
Will someone please post their actual experience?
The only results offered so far seem to be negative, yet this thread has been going on forever. |
