Questions & Answers:

  1. Does it need to be vented when using propane? If you use the fridge in an airtight and not ventilated room, a venting kit is needed.
  2. How long the fridge would run continuously if only using a 20lb propane tank? If you run a 40 lb tank, and it lasts around 6 weeks. (60L Fridge). Must make sure the gas pressure is 30mbar
  3. How does an absorption refrigerator Work? This absorption fridge works differently than a traditional compressor fridge. Freon is continuously compressed to cool compressor fridges. However, inside this RV fridge, a mixture of ammonia, water and hydrogen is used to form the evaporative refrigeration system. Of course, it needs power to activate the cooling system and to keep the fridge cold inside. But the cooling process is completely silent.

Use suggestion:

  • The fridge is equipped with a flame indicator to let you know when a flame is lit.
  • When you receive it, please put it upright horizontally for 6 hrs before plug it up. It is less efficient than compressor refrigerator, which needs around 6~8 hrs to get cold at the first use.
  • Please set the temperature at the lowest and plug it in 220 V and test if it cold inside and heated on the back after 6~8 hrs, then you may connect it to 12 V.
  • Please don’t use 2 kinds of power source at the same time.
  • Please adjust the foot to make sure the fridge top(bottom) surface is horizontal when use. When slant angle > 5°, the cooling unit may be blocked and stop cooling.
  • Trouble Shooting: Heater failure-Replace heater. Cooling unit blocked-1.Put it upside down for 8 h. 2.Put it upright for 8 h. 3.Plug it up.

    I ordered two, one for my off grid cabin, the other one for my husband’s caravan. It can be electric propane or battery. Perfect. Great size, holds more than I expected. easy to hook up, does need a lot of clearance but under counter is also possible.
    My husband’s caravan has had problems with fridges since the beginning, and we decided to get a more reasonably priced one, he said he loves it how is compartmentalized, and very spacious, it wasn’t too difficult to install, and looks great, I will update this review if it doesn’t last too long, I’ve also talked to the manufacturer about a warranty, it has a great warranty.

    As with all freezers, once delivered, set it in what is to be its permanent space and let its for 24 hours as you would with any new freezer. Plug it in 24 hours later. It is silent and within another 24 hours it’s working perfectly.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersMy freezer came without any dings, froze up nicely (Dial turned to about 70% potential coldness) and holds just the right amount of food for a small family of 4 or fewer. I’ve only had it for about a month so an update is on the horizon.

    Update: the freezer has been at near maximum capacity for about a year now and other than a high energy bill while it freezes, I have zero complaints to make.

    Great for the price

    Haben die Kaffeemhle fr unser Wohnmobil gekauft sie ist wirklich praktisch und flexibel durch den Akkubetrieb. Perfekt fr unsere Zwecke. Haben jetzt schon ca. 30 Kaffeetassen getrunken und das immer noch mit der ersten Akkuladung. Mal sehen wie lang er noch hlt.
    Klare Kaufempfehlung!

    Il prodotto costruito molto bene, si nota la cura in tutti i dettagli.
    Le macine sono le E&B Timemore, di ottima qualit e potenzialmente adatte per l’espresso. Peccato che la regolazione della macinatura limitata, la pi fine valida solo per la moka.
    Altra nota dolente, che suppongo sia solo un difetto del mio prodotto, la scarsa durata della batteria. Contrariamente a quanto visto nelle varie recensioni estere, il macinino non riusciva a completare tre macinature complete da 14 grammi.

    This little deep freezer holds more than you might expect. My particular unit is virtually silent when running. Maintains optimum temperature consistently. An optional small led light would be nice to have, but certainly not necessary to do its job. After 1 month’s use, my electricity bill did not make a noticeable change, so I’m confident in its energy efficiency. So, Highly Recommended but durability and length of service life are as yet unknown. Buy one – you won’t regret it.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersAfter a purchase through one of the big box home improvement stores that was damaged upon delivery we researched some more and came upon this one! Delivery was as expected (more than 3 weeks I believe) lately due to our economy and lack of workers. Once delivered and set up it was definitely worth the wait. Keeps food nice and cool and even temp once adjusted right. Would highly recommend!

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersWorks wonderfully. However arrived in box of course, but back metal wall had a 6″ crease or slice in it. Was not bent in or cut so it’s acceptable for my needs.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI am convinced once our home gets rebuilt from the SQXCOMPLEX fire it is truly and off-grid propane only or 110v. I bought another one at camping world and they missed the most important part no batteries I would leave for 3 days and come back to rotten food because of the constant battery controlled fridge. If you have power you can go cheaper but if you are putting in a camper unless it’s large this frig is truly for off-grid.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersThe fridge arrived in excellent condition. It was easy to light. The freezer is large as well as the fresh food compartment. It came with batteries already installed in the interior light and igniter. I have had it only two weeks and so far I am very pleased.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersThis is a very nice freezer that is of a good size for a small family. This freezer should hold about two weeks worth of frozen food/meat for our family of 5. It is highly overpriced due to the Covid pandemic though. The freezer arrived well packaged and is easy to transport with two people (due to size, not weight).

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersSo far, a great little freezer that fits perfectly in our laundry room. It arrived on time with no damage and got down to -6 in just a few hours. Made a run to store and got it stocked. Would like to have another basket but I’ll order that later.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersExactly as described, clean ,and no dents (thank goodness!). Temperature works well. I just wish they would give you three wire baskets to fit the top and not one, but ordered extras anyways. Thank you!!
