Review: It works well - So far, so good. Took it on a 6 week camping road trip and it never gave any trouble. I have owned it for about 4 months and used it numerous times without issue. It is nice when things work. It was fairly quiet. Minor negatives: the cord can come unplugged from the small transformer box on the cord very easily. In the back of a camping vehicle, with gear getting pulled out, the plug often slipped out. Annoying, since if I did not notice it, the frig went warm very quickly in the summer heat. That is user error, not a product defect, and I just got used to being careful around the plug. Temperature control is unprecise. I used the "eco" setting to preserve battery life and the ice box would almost never hit the set temperature. If I set it for 39, it would only hit 41-44 degrees on the screen. Not a big deal as one can compensate and set lower than needed. The nice thing about the "Eco" setting is it really saves the battery. It was only drawing about 30-35 watts much of the time... and would often shut the compressor off and draw nothing off the battery. If battery life was not an issue, and took it off "Eco" setting, it would drop the temperature to 0 degrees in a hurry, but use 80 watts constantly while doing it. Ambient temperature obviously impacts performance and I was in hot conditions this summer. In summary, yeah, the chain and clip latch as a bit flimsy, but the ice box works and draws little power while doing it. I was glad to have it as I saved about $200 in buying ice for a chest on my 6 week road trip. Now we wait to see how long it lasts -- at this price point, if I get 3-5 years out of it I'll consider it a victory.
Review: Quality at a Great Price - I have wanted one of these for years! I finally got it and I am so pleased. As I was doing research, I read that the ones with CF in the model name have a better quality compressor, that have a reputation for longevity. That's why two models that have the same capacity might have different prices. But, just in case, I did buy the extra warranty. Even adding in that cost, it's still way cheaper than Dometic! I have a Jackery 1000 watt battery and this fridge will use up about 15% of the battery overnight when it gets down to the 50s. I leave it connected to the Jackery all the time and charge the Jackery while driving or with the solar panels. I'm planning on buying the insulated cover to make it more efficient, but for now I cover it with a blanket. I make sure to leave the vents uncovered. It seems to really help. It's big enough that I can go a whole week by myself without grocery shopping. I tend to make things from scratch, even while camping, so there's a lot in there. It really makes a difference not having to use space for ice. I have only used it as a fridge, not a freezer, so I can't say how cold it gets. The small compartment over the compressor is a little bit warmer than the main area, as advertised, but it's really not that much. I drive on some crazy bumpy, rocky roads that test the 4L on my truck, and the fridge continues to work perfectly. I drive a Ford Ranger with the extended cab. The fridge fits behind my seat, but I have short legs. There will be even more room after I remove the jump seats. Also, this will fit in our Dodge Ram, 8 ft bed in front of the wheel well. This fridge opens from the end, not the side. That works perfect for both my trucks. I have only used it for two 7-day trips and it has run perfectly so far. I also like being able to plug it in at home and pack the fridge before my trip. When I only had a cooler, I had to wait to pack it until right before I left. Empty, it's easy for me to carry. Fully packed, I can handle it for a short walk from the house to the truck alone, but I usually ask for help. I highly recommend this refrigerator/freezer!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Unit! Still loving it! 6 MONTHS UPDATED REVIEW!!
*by L***E on April 13, 2021*

I've had it now for a week. I wanted some use before writing the review. At the one week mark, i'm really liking this unit. The size and price were right. Delivery was about a week faster than anticipated. I really can't find anything bad to say about it so far. The power it uses to run is miniscule. It stays nicely and steadily cool as long as you aren't opening it 4x an hour. Oh, and it's *very* quiet. With it plugged and compressor running it makes less noise than a desk fan. Add all that in with the fact it's an actual refrigerator and not just an electric cooler, makes the alpicool cf55-lg a killer buy. If you're in the market for this type appliance have a look at alpicool once the sticker shock from a comparable one by Dometic wears off. EDIT AT 1 MONTH IN: It's been in constant use since I received it. Still cold and quiet. I haven't really used it as a freezer. I'm in greater need of drinks than ice cream. My thermostat is set to 36F so it swings from 32F - 40F during the complete cycle and moatly hovers about 38F. This is still cool weather however. We'll see when it's 90 outside. Max setting is hardcore cooling and eco just sips power. Be careful of using the 12v lighter plug. The power management software in the Alpicool is *very* aggressive. Great for not draining the car. Not so good if it shuts off at 11.8v and food spoilage. I'm currently using regulated 12v from a battery pack I'll update this monthly until 3 mos and then again at 6 mos and 1 year. EDIT AFTER 6 MONTHS USE: So, higher summer temps caused an expected increase in power consumption along with a slight decrease in efficiencey. It was not unexpected. The fridge still keeps everything nice and cool. This item is still one of my "best buys" in terms of cost/usefulness/durability. Well worth the money. Well worth the relatively small foot print space.
