Just sips power and when the compressor kicks on it’s smooth and quiet. I had purchased a cheaper variety and while I was happy with it this is a whole new ballgame!. Definitely worth the money .
Fridge works pretty good. But if you purchase it based on smart features like bluetooth or wifi you will be disappointed and there is no direct support available.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love it! I have it running nearly all the time. Either out at camp or in my garage. I like the ability to have frozen ice cream on a hot weekend camping. It’s easy to set the temperature. Totally recommend it.
Finally took this out on an extended road trip to truly test out. Had the fridge temp set on 40 degrees which didn’t seem to keep to stuff at the top near the lid that cool, so turned down to 38 and within 2 hours my reign energy drinks and summer shandys that were at the bottom exploded/cracked from being too cold and leaked everywhere. I don’t think I had it overstocked, had cans at the bottom and a few pre packaged salads set on top. Guessing the temperature inconsistency is just a design issue? I will still take it considering it makes a good bench to sit on in the van. Draws low power in fridge mode however does drain my battery about 50 percent faster when one side is set to freezer mode. I do wish the right side was the same size as the other as I feel like it’s a waste of storage space having the l shape inside. Now I wish I had a seperate freezer altogether due to lack of space.
I would recommend this to a friend!

(Please do not sit on the coolbox, as it can damage it.)
I bought this for the boat and it exceeded my expectations. It maintained the temperature are needed and used considerably less electricity than the previous refrigerator.
We got the dual zone 75 L unit for our 4WD van. Have used it for over a year now and it's truly been a game changer for us. We use the van to travel in remote parts of northern BC, Yukon and Alaska. We have driven hundreds (thousands?) of miles on dirt roads and 4WD rough roads. The fridge has worked well despite being put through severe vibration, heat, and cold. It draws on average around 20-25 Ah off our battery overnight (12+ hours), and our 400W solar panels plus some engine charging on dark cloudy days has easily recharged the battery the next day plus provide power for the day's operation. We operate one compartment as a freezer and one as a fridge. We're always amazed at how much we can fit in there, and how everything stays cold even when the compartment is overstuffed. I have no idea whether other brands are better or worse, but I can vouch for our unit having exceeded our expectations. The unit is expensive compared to a home fridge, but so far it's been great for our van setup and needs.
