Runs great, one little dent in the bottom from transport

The product is nice and their customer service is the worst I've ever seen. In fact, I don't even write reviews online, but I was so compelled to warn people about the crappy customer service I decided to write a review. I've owned it a year and its worked well for me in both refrigerator and freezer mode. I had a single issue with it - it just quit working when the temperature exceeded 100 degrees. It just wouldn't work - on AC, DC or otherwise. I checked and re-checked electrical current with two separate meters to ensure I had the correct voltage. It had proper voltage but the fridge just wouldn't power back on. And I read the manual extensively and tried every trouble shooting measure possible. And I'm very mechanical and experienced with wiring so I can attest that I knew what I was doing. I called customer service to understand this issue better. They won't talk to you via phone - only via email. It usually takes them 2+ weeks to reply and they continue to blame the issue on my electrical current. I actually suspect the unit has a temperature 'high limit' switch which turns off at a certain temp, but it's not possible to get anyone competent to email you. And, even though I begged to talk to someone via phone, they won't. So after 6 emails, I just gave up. Especially after the 6th email told me I had a 'faulty power connection' which I explained was not the problem. Anyway, the product works great. But if there's any other brand out there, I would try to buy another brand first

I recently got hit with a series of heart attacks and was diagnosed with Diabetes (type 2). After spending 3 long weeks in the hospital- went home and began a PBD (Vegan diet) based on the regiment of the book: "The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle" (EXCELLENT BOOK!) Being on this diet requires lots of veggies/beans/fruits/soy products/flax seed and nuts etc etc. After stocking our fairly large fridge in our kitchen- we found that it was just too crowded and not wanting to travel every other day to get my foods stuff- I decided we needed another fridge- but i did not want to clutter the kitchen or any open area we had available with another bulky upright fridge. So I decided to look into a "horizontal/top opening" fridge that could fit in a recessed area we have between our kitchen and bedroom- problem is that the most of the ones out there are considered "beverage fridges" and are quite large and expensive: $1500.00+ !!! (we have one at our summer home on our deck that came with our house) The other problem with any beverage fridge is that THEY ARE NOT RATED FOR FOOD! So, my next solution was the Whynter 85Qt portable Freezer/Fridge- which I found here on Amazon at the best price. My wife kept telling me its "too small" and just a "glorified electric cooler"... But I proved her wrong! With all the food stuff in the kitchen fridge- it was hard to organize it and remove things easily-- but the Whynter 85Qt allows for easy access and can be organized so that I can remove any pre-cooked meal stored in a container or any plastic bag of veggies or fruit, without other stuff tumbling out of the fridge (BTW my wife is an "organizing expert" and our Whirlpool still got cluttered!) Its also great for stacking neatly, all the soy products and beans that need refrigeration. Its dimensions are: 23"Lx13"Wx18"Deep- definitely bigger than any beach cooler! It fit perfectly in the recessed nook between our bedroom and kitchen entrance and looks awesome there. The compressor is whisper quiet- even when our bedroom door is open- we can hardly hear it! Set up was easy and took no more than 5mins after giving it a quick cleaning. Setting the temp was also extremely easy and it holds the temp i set it to consistently (some minor fluctuations when the compressor kicks in- but does not seem to be a problem at all) I know i made the right move in buying the Whynter 85Qt and its helping me get back to better health! I can't vouch for using it on a camping trip or boat or in an RV- but maybe someday soon we will! PROS: whisper quiet good size considering how much it can actually hold sleek look has locking mechanism on the door (we have a 5 yr old son running around) truly portable when need be CONS: price could be a little lower- or the size a bit bigger- but i still feel I made the right choice! NOTE: can NOT be used as a freezer and fridge at same time- but i don't need a freezer for now I definitely recommend this fridge

I’ve had my unit for about a month at this point. It has been used for camping and daily for work. It has kept everything cold and runs super quiet! I’ve read some pretty bad reviews, but I have had nothing but good things to say about the one I received! I have used it to keep drink and lunches cold daily at work and for 2 weekend camping trips in my RV. It’s runs so quietly that it’s hard to even hear it running inside of the RV. I’ve used it as a freezer for ice and ice cream and it has no problem staying at 0* on either 12v or 120v and just the same results while set at 34* for daily use. I can not say enough good! I’m gong to buy another soon with the dual zone. There have been a few times in just a month where that would’ve came in handy! I can imagine how useful it’ll be having it in the long term.

We purchased this fridge for taking on our road trips and use it as an overflow at home when we have had visitors. Have used it as a freezer when the freezer in our inside fridge failed. It held the contents of the inside freezer until we were able to get it repaired so no frozen food was lost. Our grandson has allergies so we have found this fridge extremely useful when we travel because we can carry all of his dietary needs. When we did have a problem with the fridge, Whynter Customer Service were responsive and proactive in getting it resolved.

I waited to write this review until I had some experience with the product. Have now used it for five different trips dry camping with ten to fourteen people. Each time I used it as a freezer. I have to admit I am extremely impressed with its performance! It usually runs about eighteen hours off of a 100 amp hour deep cycle battery plugged into directly with 12 volt. This allows me to recharge the battery via my generator for approximately 4hrs daily. My fellow campers were surprised that I was able to serve ice cream several days into our trip! And no more trips to get $4 a bag ice in remote areas. I have found that for best results to start the freezer the day before you plan on leaving, pre freeze anything you plan on bringing. This unit will go from ambient temperature to -8 degrees F. in less than two hours. When I convert to DC from AC, I adjust the temp. up to 8 degrees F., and it cycles between 7 to 13 degrees F. This reduces the load off of my house battery. When I get into camp, I take it off the house battery and use a second deep cycle to run the freezer. I bring along a battery charger to charge the freezer battery at the same time I charge my house battery. Hint: You can plug both DC & AC cords at the same time. When the generator is running it defaults to AC and the battery will charge faster. Exceeds all of my expectations!

Okay I have had this for a while now. I'm happy for the most part, but a few complaints. To be clear, I use this full time 24/7 as a freezer set to 10 degrees on my sailboat in S.Fl. I removed the handles and installed it with 2" foam insulation front, back, and bottom and 3/4" foam insulation on the sides. I even glued 3/4" foam to the lid. One of the hinges broke already and there is always water sitting where the lid seals. (Doesn't seal very good ). The unit needs defrosted every 2-3 months. Frost free would be nice. It uses more power than I expected it to from the specs. I have solar system and wind generator with amp and volt gauges to monitor power input and output. It draws 6 amps (5.8) when it's running which is a lot more than my fridge (3.5) and here in Fl it runs probably 40 plus minutes an hour. Overall it works and I have icecream and frozen food on my sailboat. It was half price of the top brand and does the trick, but if your off grid like me might want to try the better one. I will be when this one quits.

Great product works well on both AC and DC power.

Working great

This was used as a freezer for two weeks in 30 degree centigrade heat. It had no problem keeping the temperature I set of 4 degrees Fahrenheit. The end of the 12v plug fell apart after 1 week and needed to be replaced. The handles are still fine but I wouldn't load it up and move it with the handles.

I have tried to put this so it can work as a fridge it never . so I now only use it as a freezer and for this it works well.

So far so good.....will know better in the hot weather how it works
