A thoughtfully made product.
"It is very well built. The fridge liner is of metal and quite sturdy. It makes almost no sound unless on a hollow floor. I wish it had arrived with some sort of rubber feet, it just has a hard plastic bottom. The LED display has gold film plating (?) to prevent RFI (radio frequency interference), so the engineers were designing a quality product. They also provided some waterproofing to the circuit board. I added a thin neoprene gasket to the lid as it was not air tight; efficiency is very important on a sailboat. The boat has only limited electrical power so efficiency is quite important. The fridge consumes around 12 Watts on average, or 1 Ampere at 12V. Engel specified it to operate at fairly large angles of heel, which is a rare and important specification for use on a sailboat. I would guess it has about 4 months of flawless saltwater operation on it by now. Nice product!"
