They work as 'coolers' only if the surrounding temperature is reasonable cool, i. I have seen them fail after only 13-15 monthsĭuring drives in the Kruger they work quite well and keep coke and beer quite cool but never ice cold. That is the main reason why they are much cheaper than comressor driven fridges.Īlso keep in mind that the thermo-electric element may not last as long as a compressor. They are absolutely no good as stationary fridges at the camp ground.
I use one only when travelling and plugged into the 12V socket.
