Large, sturdy, refrigerator/ freezer
As the description states on Amazon, don't confuse this with plastic ice chest style 12v coolers. This is a heavy duty unit with steel construction. As such, it's weight is heavy so it's a trade off there. But if you need a large capacity heavy duty unit, this will work for you.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.

Workhorse! Pulling double duty! - two failures in ~7years
Update - 9/2021:I had my original fridge for ~4 years before it stopped cooling. The compressor would run, but over the course of a week stopped cooling completely.Whynter was pretty good, they took delivery of my old unit (I dropped it off at HQ while on a road trip) and then diagnosed the issue as a coolant line blockage. They shipped me a replacement unit with updated handles, latches, etc. I ended up paying $200 for the replacement (including shipping).I've had the replacement unit for a little less than 3 yrs, it has been running 90% of the time, and mostly on DC in my truck off of solar and battery. The unit was working great until 2 days ago. The fridge is no longer cooling. The compressor is running, and things sound "normal" but zero cooling is happening. The failure occurred when the unit was stationary in my garage. It worked one day, and then failed the next.I called support and they will be helping my diagnose, but I don't think I'll have much luck. The replacement unit only has a 1year warranty, so I do not think they officially "owe" me anything.I'll keep this updated with what the outcome is on the second unit. If they offer a replacement again for ~$200, that'll be great. Otherwise, it'll be time to look to a new brand.10/2018:My Whynter 65qt dual voltage fridge has been rock solid. I use it as my drinks fridge in the hot garage when home and hosting parties. But it also serves as my 12 volt powered overlanding fridge on countless offroad trips. It's been to Mexico and all over the Western half of the United States. I run it off of my car battery but also augment with solar on the roof of my truck. The new low power mode is super helpful for keeping things quiet at night when I end up sleeping in the truck with the fridge. This is one of my best purchases, no more ice and soggy EVERYTHING. It just works and works well!

Efficient, quiet, capable. Excellent fridge.
I bought this for my solar off grid camper because it runs directly off of 24v DC. My electrical system is all 24v and appliances that bypass the inverter will save you a lot of power in the long run. This fridge is amazing. It just sips power. When the compressor is running it's drawing maybe 90 Watts max at 24 volts. Once it gets down to temperature it just kicks on every 20 minutes or so depending on the ambient temperature. Once it gets cold it stays cold. The chest freezers are very efficient; cold air just sits in the basin rather than spilling out like when you open the front door of a standing fridge.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!
