## Description

This Whynter Portable Fridge / Freezer offers premium quality and innovative design made to meet to your frozen/refrigerated needs. This portable refrigerator for cars is great for RVs, boats, campsites, fishing trips, and more. Plus, this car fridge / freezer is truly portable, so you can take it anywhere! All you need is either a standard household 110 Volt outlet or a 12 volt power source, like an automotive battery. Whether on a day trip or major expedition, you can easily keep your food and beverages chilled, or frozen with this outdoor refrigerator / freezer. This outdoor fridge / freezer should not to be confused with less effective 12 volt plug-in "coolers" for vehicles. Our portable fridge / portable freezer for travel is a true convertible unit which cools between -6°F to 50°F. A cost effective and mobile solution for your recreational and critical freezing requirements.

Review: Large, sturdy, refrigerator/ freezer - As the description states on desertcart, don't confuse this with plastic ice chest style 12v coolers. This is a heavy duty unit with steel construction. As such, it's weight is heavy so it's a trade off there. But if you need a large capacity heavy duty unit, this will work for you. This has a large capacity. The removable wire baskets make it easy to fill and empty out food and drinks. The controls are easy to access and manage. It appears well made heavy duty construction with a nice fit and finish. I harvested a large mule deer in Montana. All of the boned out meat from the entire deer was easily fit into both sides of the fridge/freezer. I adjust temps on both sides down to quickly cool the meat. A thousand miles later I arrived home, and the meat was perfect and ready to process. It would have easily frozen the meat on both fridge and freezer sides, had I elected to turn the temps down lower. No more large ice chests, messing with ice or dry ice to keep harvested game meat from spoiling! Interior was easy and simple to clean. I also use this unit as my fridge/freezer in my Ford Transit for long trips and camping. The capacity of this unit should keep a couple of people in food and drink for a week or so. I run it off the vehicle while traveling, and off a portable solar generator (Jackery) at night. Works perfect. The unit is quiet and did not bother us when sleeping just a few feet away. I highly recommend this unit.
Review: Workhorse! Pulling double duty! - two failures in ~7years - Update - 9/2021: I had my original fridge for ~4 years before it stopped cooling. The compressor would run, but over the course of a week stopped cooling completely. Whynter was pretty good, they took delivery of my old unit (I dropped it off at HQ while on a road trip) and then diagnosed the issue as a coolant line blockage. They shipped me a replacement unit with updated handles, latches, etc. I ended up paying $200 for the replacement (including shipping). I've had the replacement unit for a little less than 3 yrs, it has been running 90% of the time, and mostly on DC in my truck off of solar and battery. The unit was working great until 2 days ago. The fridge is no longer cooling. The compressor is running, and things sound "normal" but zero cooling is happening. The failure occurred when the unit was stationary in my garage. It worked one day, and then failed the next. I called support and they will be helping my diagnose, but I don't think I'll have much luck. The replacement unit only has a 1year warranty, so I do not think they officially "owe" me anything. I'll keep this updated with what the outcome is on the second unit. If they offer a replacement again for ~$200, that'll be great. Otherwise, it'll be time to look to a new brand. 10/2018: My Whynter 65qt dual voltage fridge has been rock solid. I use it as my drinks fridge in the hot garage when home and hosting parties. But it also serves as my 12 volt powered overlanding fridge on countless offroad trips. It's been to Mexico and all over the Western half of the United States. I run it off of my car battery but also augment with solar on the roof of my truck. The new low power mode is super helpful for keeping things quiet at night when I end up sleeping in the truck with the fridge. This is one of my best purchases, no more ice and soggy EVERYTHING. It just works and works well!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much current does it draw when in refrigerator mode and in the freezer mode?  Thank you.**
A: I have had my FM45-G for over 1 year and monitored the unit’s DC power usage. On a day when the temperature is in the low 80’s during the day and the low 60’s at night, it uses about 260 watt hours over 24 hours when set in the refrigerator mode at 38 degrees. That’s about 21-22 amp hours per day.  With my van’s 95 amp hour AGM battery, I can go about 2.5 days before I need to recharge the battery. I have not yet used it as a freezer.

**Q: Can you use vertically, with the door opening as convential refrigerator?**
A: I wouldn't recommend it. You would have to remove the handle on what side you wanted to set on the ground. The door is flush with the side so you would have to elevate it or the door would scrape on the ground. You would loose a lot of space as there is no shelving system and everything would poor out when you opened it. You would also block vents if you set it up that way and probably overheat the compressor. So in short no it is meant to be used as shown in the picture, might need to look for a different product to use it like a traditional fridge.

**Q: Can anyone tell me about a solar panel / battery system to run this? I would like to use it in a small RV.**
A: Yes this will work.   You will need a solar panel that will recharge the battery draw (you can calculate this from the watt output of different panels) and a battery large enough to provide the current draw without getting below 10.5 before it gets recharged by the panel.  You also would want a marine style deep cycle or at least a start/deep cycle combo battery.  Remember that solar panels and batteries are not 100% efficient so calculate the load accordingly.  All that said I do just this on my boat along with running additional DC loads and don't need to run my aux engine to recharge the hose bank while at anchor.

**Q: Do I have tto use the metal racks that came with the unit?  Any problems if I don't?**
A: The racks are there not only to help organize the food but also to protect the thin aluminumlining. It can be rather easily damaged by hard frozen product if allowed to drop to the bottom of the freezer. I have a few such dents before I learned my lesson. If a hole does penetrate ,that hole would then become a place to capture moisture when defrosted and when stored would become a breeding ground for mold.

### ⭐ Shipping box looked great! Opened it up
*by S***N on February 8, 2017*

Shipping box looked great! Opened it up, it was shipped in two boxes, second box looked great. Opened the second box and the four cardboard corner guards inside the second box looked great. Took the cooler out and there was a huge dent on the front corner of the cooler. Where the dent was it caused paint to flake off. Not a scratch but a huge flake (3+ inch diameter area) just lifted off the metal exposing bare steel, from the dent and spanning across the front of the cooler. The paint flaked off as if it wasn't even adhered to the metal. Mine did have metal handles on the side over plastic ones. I paid $500 for this? (65 quart on a lightning sale). I read all the reviews, have been looking at all these options for months, pulled the trigger, I wanted to be happy about it. This think looks, cheap. Somehow still feels cheap even though it weighs a ton! It is very square and ugly too. Not that that should matter but this item is extremely so. The digital control was poorly located on the bottom back corner and looked like some cheap thing you'd find in a children's science/engineering kit, not on any type of professionally manufactured appliance. Handles, hinges and latches all just screwed onto the outside with no thought to design, integration or ergonomics. I didn't even try to turn it on. Right back in the box. Dropped it back off at UPS Store the very next day after delivery. Wasn't out of the box for more than 15 minutes at my house. Soon as I get the refund I'll order a comparable Dometic (Waeco) I expect I'll find it worth the extra dollars. I'll probably get one a little smaller too. I usually go for the deal, I don't need things fancy. I drive mid eighties honda four wheelers because I can usually find them for $500 a piece. I have a yard tractor I paid $150 for, I replaced the drive shaft, its a 610 Cub Cadet, $200. I rebuit a Cal Spa Hot Tub I got for Free, thing runs great we use it ll the time. I like a deal. This fridge looked like overpriced BS ready to break, nothing ore. I will not own it. Do what you will. If I'm all ready spending 500+ I don't want anything as cheap as this. Just looking at it I could never have confidence that it would be reliable. IMHO Looking forward to putting my Dometic in the back of our road trip vehicle. Fridge in a car is a great idea! Just not this one.
