@@@@@ HUGE, low power consumption, great
Can't believe how LARGE this is- more than enough for my needs (I'd estimate large enough to hold at least a month's worth of frozen food). Glad I didn't get the 3 cubic feet one. It holds MUCH more than the photo (or video) suggests (more below). Well-packed, in perfect shape. Indeed, as the instructions assert, if the freezer isn't level the door doesn't stay closed. I'd never done this before, have poor manual dexterity and it took me quite a while to adjust the feet on each side, using a level horizontally and vertically (checking the side to side tilt and the front-to-back). It wasn't difficult, but it required time and patience. The instructions say turn each foot (two at the front corners) to the right to lower, to the left to raise, which confused me a bit but it translates to counter-clockwise to lower, clockwise to raise. Once I finally got it level (I have a wonky surface in my travel trailer), the door closed tight. At one point I tried locking the door with the key and THAT did the trick, so if it ever becomes an issue (like when traveling) nice to have a surefire method for ensuring that the door remains closed.
Note- I got it all situated, THEN read the part about initially setting the temperature knob to 5, the highest it will go, so had to pull it out again and set it (see photo of the back- the white round dial on the left). SO, all ready to go, plugged it in, and put in an ice cube tray of water. It took less than TWO hours to freeze solid! (I read reviews of other freezers that said it took overnight for ice to freeze initially).
To give you an idea of what can fit in the freezer (I experimented), it can hold 39 full-size Banquet TV dinners + 2 smaller packages, like Lean Cuisines, + 4 small frozen juice containers + 8 smallish burritos, like Don Jose's. I've checked repeatedly, and regarding a large bag of ice, there's none of that slightly melting and then re-freezing again, which results in ice that's congealed cubes and requires an icepick (my house fridge does that). Ice cubes remain frozen solid and separate, and ice cream is as hard as a rock, the way I like it.
I was unable to upload the video of the freezer from the Whynter site for some reason, you can go there to see it (but it also shows those little containers/cartons of Haagen Dazs-type icecream, which don't provide an accurate impression of how MUCH it holds). You can also download the owner's manual (note: the freezer is listed under refrigerators, for some reason). FYI, the owner's manual states that the freezer draws 75 watts, .88 amps. It comes with a small paper sticker on the front that removes easily after soaking for a few minutes with dishwashing lotion. So quiet, you can barely tell when it's running. And it's BEAUTIFUL. Couldn't be happier with this freezer! If it malfunctions or dies I'll update my review.
@@@@@ the walls are thin and suck copious energy
I had been looking for a solar refrigerator for my Sprinter van for some time. I found that the 12 DC chest style freezers were not only way too expensive, but they were too large and did not hold much food stuff. I also looked at many dorm fridges that would work with my Xantrex Prowatt 2000 inverter, however, the walls are thin and suck copious energy. Other alternatives such as RV fridges cost too much. So, I purchased the Whynter freezer and gave it a trial run. The unit is very quite and uses very little power. I use (4) 6 volt golf cart batteries, ( 2) 100 watt solar panels and a Xantrex prowatt 2000 inverter. This system powers a 600 watt microwave and a 700 watt tea kettle along with the Whynter freezer. During day light hours, the batteries charge to 12.9 to 13.3 volts with the Whynter running. after all night operation, the battery charge will maybe drop down to 12.6 volts. This is predicated on normal usage of the microwave and tea kettle during road trips etc. . If we use the microwave alot, the fridge may pull down the batteries to 12.4 volts over night. But after a full day of sun, the batteries are again at over 12.9 volts . The best option for this freezer would be to use it to freeze (2) 1 gallon water jugs, and frozen foods. The freezer does not have to be run at night with frozen juggs of water in the bottom section of the unit. The walls on this unit are twice a thick as a dorm fridge. The door seal seals tightly also.
Anyways. at $218 this fridge is top quality for the money. It has the reliability of a beater proof a/c powered dorm fridge and will provide trouble free use compared to 12 volt DC freezer chests that cost $700. It also holds more food stuff than a chest style freezer while using way less space, The only caveta is one has to run an inverter 24/7 which is not a problem.
