There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Anyway, what brings me to this Whynter (Winter?) Brand was because my beloved Norcold 45 after 12 years of bliss no longer would refrigerate. It still works but, it freezes everything! I only want it to work as a refrigerator so here I am. Can't find my beloved Norcold anywhere on the market as they are either soldout from reputable places or folks are selling them at an outrageously jacked up price.
So, when I found this unit, it checked off all the marks. The size is right for my space, it seems well built. It's actually taller and deeper than my old unit and I like that. It seems to cool down rather quickly to my set temperature of 36°. I have an inverter and it is running seamlessly on AC power without any issues. Mind you this is just day one but I'm writing this review to say that so far I like what this unit is giving me. It was priced very well and it is actually made very well and is working very well. I even bought the travel cover.
It runs very quietly as I can barely hear when the compressor is running. The boxy shape doubles as a nice table actually. I plan to update after a month of using it and hope it will stay positive. I need to see how it handles after some vibrations of being over the road.
Because it's built like a tank with all metal. I especially like the metal handles which are surprisingly comfortable when you're trying to carry it. It is heavy but manageable as I was able to get it into my truck but it was empty. Also the little lady who delivered it from Amazon had to walk upstairs with it in its big well packaged box and she managed without any issues so I definitely can't complain about it being too heavy. Although I don't plan to move it in and out, especially with food in it, so if that were the case I would be taking the food out before moving it.
One slight drawback that I feel could be improved is actually where the controls are. Because they are located on the short end at the bottom of the right side, it would have been nicer to have them on the long end on the side where the unit opens and closes so that I can actually look back and see what the temperature readings are. So for extra measure, I have my thermometers placed inside the unit so that when I open the case I can actually see how cold the temperatures are inside. As I said before, I have it set the 36° but because heat rises and my thermometers are at the top they are registering at 40° so there's probably a plus or minus 4° on the temperatures. It's all fine with me as long as it stays under 42° which is in the safe refrigeration zone. Oh, and there is no way to change which way the top will open as it is fixed.
So today I'm going to end with giving this a very glowing review and hope it stays that way as I will update this and let you know how things go after a month or so and hopefully after a year of using it. As it stands now for my first day of using, I would definitely recommend. It comes at a good price point, is well built, and it works well.

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.
I sleep right next to it when I'm camping, I do hear it click on and off but it's so quiet it's never woken me up or distracted me, even on very quiet nights. I took the latches and hinges off to fit it into a tighter space; the lids still sink in snugly and seal every time. If they don't close all the way it will let you know with a polite beep after a few minutes.
The controls are easy to figure out. You can make either side a refrigerator or freezer (or both) which is a great idea. If you want to turn the whole thing into a meat freezer you can do that. I have the larger area as a refrigerator, I set them both at low temperatures and this fridge can keep both compartments that cold. Ice does build up in the freezer and I have to empty it out, let it melt and dry out the freezer every six months or so. I live in Florida with constant high humidity so this may not be an issue for everyone.
It did arrive with a small dent but not a big deal. If I would change anything I would order a longer one. When I go on long trips I fill it to the brim and it fills up fast, especially with lots of ice in the freezer. This met all of my needs and exceeded all of my expectations. Highly recommended!

Top reviews from other countries
If you are thinking of buying this fridge to save money, just don't. Spend the extra money to get a reliable 12v fridge from a reputable brand. Thats what I wish I did, but instead I ended up wasting over $700 on this garbage.
As an extra test I put the Whynter fridge in the garage on a warm day (70 F) and let it run on a 12 volt battery for 24 hours to see how much draw the unit would make. Starting from a fully charged state at 12.7 volts the battery after 24 hours of running was reduced to 12.2 volts. Now the fridge was empty at the time and was never opened during this test so a real life camping experience was not totally replicated. But still, I was very impressed that after 24 hours of running the battery still had around 50% charge remaining. It means that any reasonable solar panel/battery combo can keep up with the Whytner fridge.
At this point we can say nothing about the durability of the product. It does look well made to my eyes and we hope to have for many years of camping. This fridge has certainly revolutionized our camping experience.
