Review on Setpower TC35: Portable Freezer Fridge with Wheels -4℉ to 68℉ for Truck, Van, RV Road Trip & Outdoor Activities by Zane Myers

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Compressor not energy efficient and too noisy

Value for money is unmatched in portable refrigerators. The situation is different for permanent solutions for home use. If you set the cooler to -4 degrees Fahrenheit at room temperature, it will never reach that temperature and it will shut down to save power. It keeps running, sucking 50-60 watts of power from your generator. I thought maybe it was too cold so I set it to 0 degrees Fahrenheit but no, it ran all night. To make matters worse, it makes a loud, annoying noise, like you've walked into an aquarium and heard a water pump pump. It's portable and weighs 28 pounds, which compares favorably to other smaller, more compact fridges with more complex components that can get in your way. It's a good size and fits what I need, but I'm returning it because its compressor isn't efficient or powerful enough to save energy and it makes too much noise.
