Re: Looking at Portable Freezer Fridges

Has a settable low voltage cutoff. Company makes them up to 80l but damned if I could find any other than the 15l. 30l and up sizes are dual compartment fridge freezers. The electronic Peltier type fridges are all crap in my mind, have had 3, and they cost same as the Alpicool 15l. My real fridge is an isotherm cruise 65 built in which has worked perfectly for 5 years. I don't live in Florida etc however.

Interesting, looks very similar to the Engel but at much lower price for that size (although all I see on Amazon now is for $400, not $200... but that's still a lot lower than the $800 for a 15 liter Engel).


Quick look around though and I don't see specs for current draw...
