UPDATED 5/5/17 See my video review on YouTube by searching for "TEARDROP TRAILER REFRIGERATOR COSMO " ===================================== Updated 4/1/17 ===================================== The results of the cool down test are chilling. Cooling 2.5 gallons of water from 39 to 33 took 5 hours and used 4.75 amps or about .95 amps an hour. That is not linear by the hour. It varies. More in the beginning less at the end. But if you run this out for 24 hour you are going to need 25 amps. + what you use in the trailer – In my case 31 amps. BUT that is not the case since after the food reaches the desired temp the energy consumption drops to about a half amp. My two solar panels will have no problem with full sunshine and even clouds. BUT this is no substitute for real world testing. The 55 amp hour batty (25 useable amps) might work with the two solar panels I did would not feel comfortable with that setup. With 115 (50 useable amps) I would be using 31 amps and still have about 20 amps left with no charging. With the solar panels limping along at half capacity on a cloudy day I would be fine. Under trees on a really shadow less day I might need a third panel – time will tell. But I am confident I can do fine with 2 panels. Keep in mind this is the cool down mode. Maybe the first 12 hours after the food purchase. I use very thin solar panels and I could easily carry a third panel with my controller. For the second test I want to verify the battery drain after the water was cooled to 33 degrees and find how much electric it takes to keep the food there overnight. I am trying to simulate after the restock food and is chilled to the right temp. I am thinking I can get by for several days with the food and want to know what is the drain over 24 hours. For this test I set the fridge temp to 33F I started with the battery freshly charged and ambient temp of 65F Over 12 hours the fridge used ,47 amps an hour to keep th3 water at 33F. That is truly amazingly low energy consumption. 24 hour consumption would only be 11.28 amps (in my living room). So under ideal stable lab conditions (I rounded up) at 12 hours of daytime @ one amp an hour - 12 amps consumed. At night 6 amps consumed @ ½ amp an hour. 18 amps is a good starting estimate (for me) until I can get outside in some hot weather. I think I will be in good shape for fresh food this summer. Only question in my mind is several extremely cloudy days under shade trees. I will pick my campsite with that in mind. For now, I will load the fridge 24 hours before I leave for a trip and have everything cooled down in advance . That works to my benefit by shortening the time it takes for me to leave. I can now take the trailer to work on Fridays and leave from there with the food keeping cool while I am working! At this point I SHOULD be able to get about 3 days of fridge/freezer with no recharging. I am guestimating the fridge will average 18 amps a day or .75 (point 75) amps an hour average (more data is needed for different conditions). With this solar panel configuration - full sun or clouds - unlimited refrigeration. MAYBE unlimited refrigeration in shade with clouds. There is still more meat on this bone. ===================================== First one died 4 hours after I received it. Replacement is working fine. Runs on AC/DC. Good News I can connect to both AC and DC live power sources at the same time The Fridge will automatically switch to AC when it is available. No need for me to swap plugs when changing power sources. Very convenient. Has a built in pull out basket for convenience. I suspect it helps air flow to. There is no fan on the inside to circulate air. Camco makes a fan for fridges that runs a month on 2 D cells which circulate air should I ordered one to see how much it helps. There is an LED light inside that lights when the lid is opened and there is a digital display for setting and monitoring temp and features Direction say to pre cool contents and fridge as you would with an ice chest – but I wanted to get an idea what happens when fridge and contents are not cold I filled some containers with 9 quarts of water – room temp and powered the fridge with a fully charged 35 amp hour AGM battery. Fridge was room temp too. Early results On DC the fridge draws 4 amps with the compressor running but it does not run long. On AC it only draws .44 amps with the compressor running. Out of an hour the compressor cycled on 3 times for 8 min for a total of 24 min an hour and was off the rest of the time. When it reached shut off temp it drew .06 amps almost nothing. The average draw was 2 amps an hour measured with a meter over 8 hours on the battery (keep in mind this is with room temp water in it – NOT PRE CHILLED). The 35 amp hour battery produced about 15 amps before reaching 11.4 volts which is about right. More testing is needed. The point is with my new battery is 115 amp deep cycle battery I hope to get about 60 amps out of it before reaching 11.4 volts. That would be a few days of cooling. Today with the food cold and not opening the lid very much it only drew .65 amps an hour which is AMAZINGLY low power usage. If it draws .65 half the day and 2 the other half that’s a total of 31 amps a day. Might be no problem for my solar and 115 amp battery. Again time will tell. On all but the worst cloudy days I should be fine. Couds for a few days in a row might be a problem. I can’t wait to find out. I noticed the fridge is cycling on less and staying off more now that the contents are cooler. This is not the kind of fridge I expect to throw warm drinks and have them quick cooled. After 24 Hours. 9 Quarts of water with the fridge set at temp of 31 Top layer was temp of 38. Middle layer was 35 Bottom was 32.5

Solar Ice Cream? Anyone? Anyone?

CFX-35US Really impressed. Bought this to bring on camping trips and for back up when power goes out. I used a goal zero yeti150 hooked to a 100 watt solar panel. In one hour it cooled down to -11 before the compressor shut off and kicked back on at -4. No noticeable drop in battery power.

A must have for the OTR truck driver

I have been running this freezer in my Cascadia since August (the past 4 months) it fits snugly in the little cubby hole intended for that very purpose, being able to cook at home then freeze my meals for the road and keep them frozen, has saved me a ton of $ so far, also I now can have ice cream with me. The shelf directly above the compressor doesn't get as cold, but I can store items there that simply need refrigeration.

Does one thing and does it well

CFX-50US here. Does one thing and does it well. I stuck a remote thermometer in there and the two seem to disagree on the internal temperature, but I'm not sure where its sensor is nor which one is correct. The fridge says 36F, the remote probe says 49F. I think the fridge is more correct because my beverages are ice cold. Easy to use, comes with both plugs. It would be nice if it also came with a 12V bare wire connection but that's easy enough to handle. Not heavy, but large and unwieldy. Has vents on three sides, but they're all grouped together, so only about half of it has to be non-blocked. Except the power cord comes out the other end, so you need a small access hole for that. The handles are convenient. They snap back down rather forcefully, so don't be surprised by that. There is an interior light that helps in the dark. I haven't filled it up much, but I think that light would be blocked when full. A downward-aiming light on the lid might be better. Doesn't seem to pull much power, but I haven't measured it.

just my size

28us fits a quart of oj, a quart of milk, a dozen eggs, package of bacon and room for a week of veggies and dressing. I'm pleased

Works great off-grid

I live off-grid using solar power. My husband and I had originally purchased a smallish standard refrigerator but quickly discovered that without adding significant wattage to our solar system we would not be able to power the fridge overnight. The main issue was that the defroster would go on at random times, and that took up a lot of power. We decided to invest in the Dometic 95 instead of more panels and I am not disappointed. We have it split between a fridge and freezer and I really like how it uses one compressor to cool two different compartments controlled by two thermostats. It will switch the cooling between compartments. When running the fridge takes about 65 watts, which is about the same amount of power as a laptop computer. For comparison our standard fridge took 125 or so watts while running. We have managed to make it through the night without losing power for the week or two that we have been using it (in winter in Maine). It seems to work by turning on fairly frequently and staying close to the set temperatures. It sounds a lot like a microwave oven when it runs. The fridge is very well made, and I appreciate the details such as the interior lights (that turn on even when the fridge is not powered), and the latches. So far it is large enough to store enough food for two people for probably 4-5 days. I would definitely invest in the 95quart model if it is your only fridge. My only complaint about the fridge is that I wish it was a bit more insulated. One night we shut off our inverter and the temperature did not hold well at all in the fridge. But I suppose I could also buy the insulated blanket that is available. Update: We have now owned it for about 4 months and are still very happy. It keeps its temperature well and does a nice job with fussy produce. We have yet to lose power in the middle of the night with it running so this indicates that it's power draw is low.

Highly recommended

As a Driver in a company truck. This was a perfect addition to my Truck. It's been on for ten months now and shows no signs of stopping. The money I saved by not having to buy food on the road surpassed the price of the 35 quart in the first two months. Since then the savings have just kept racking up. If this one ever breaks, I'll definitely be buying another. I can't imagine not having a fridge in my truck.

Great Cooler/Freezer for a semi truck.

Had it in the truck for 3 months. Good: keeps temp great, frozen stays frozen and the fridge side stays cold. Some complain about it freezing items right next the freezer wall but I haven't had that problem. I keep the freezer side on -7* f and it works fine. It sips power. I had to put the truck in the shop for a number of issues and forgot to tell the shop to plug it into AC power. It was 7 days later and while the truck batteries were low, they still had enough to light up the dash ( but not start ) cooler low voltage had kicked in but food was still somewhat cold. Freezer side still had a small amount ice on the food. I have left the truck off for three days on a number of times with the cooler only on truck power and had no problems with it starting right up.I've had other coolers that will flatten the batteries in less than two days if left plugged in. Unit while running is very quiet. So much so I've had to look at the display to make sure it was still plugged in and running. With truck off at night I can not hear it from 4-5 ft away while in bunk. Bad: none really, I would have liked the freezer side to have been a bit bigger but if that was really a issue I should have gone with the 95 vs the 65. Overall: very happy with the cooler. You can get a 2500 watt inverter and a small AC dorm size refrigerator for less but you still run into the problem of killing your batteries if left plugged in more than a day with the truck not running. Workaround would be to use shore power where ever and when ever you can or simply have a APU. For those of us that either can't install one or the company with not allow you a inverter, this cooler is the way to go. Runs directly off a 12 volt receptacle without over heating it. Also has the option on plugging directly into AC power being it has two separate power cords. I try to keep it plugged into AC power while at home.

Fantastic!!!

I love this thing. I wish I had bought it sooner. I have mine set up with a 100W folding (Mahoo) solar panel and a Goal Zero Yeti 400. This refer sips wattage gently. Pulling roughly 50Watts. The 100watt solar panel feeds it nicely. The Goal Zero Yeti 400 alone feeds it for 1.5 days, with the panel it's unlimited. Just don't block the cooling vents and it works great... VERY EFFICIENT TOO! Love the whole kit together! Highly recommend!!! I camp in my Tesla Model S and it works perfect for that too!

Does a Surprisingly Good Job of Separating Frozen and Cold Items

So far so good. Yesterday, I threw 8 refrigerated chickens in and set it to 12F. It took about 12 hours to freeze them. It ran all night and the noise was a non-issue. Yes, you can hear it run, but it is quiet. I also have good hearing. Those whose hearing isn't so great will think this thing runs silent. It is soooo efficient on electricity. To give you an idea of size, I can fit 12, 6+ pound chickens with a little room to spare. The cooler area (if using it as a fridge/freezer) does a great job of keeping items cool while the freezer part does a great job of keeping items frozen. Items left next to the insulated divider will freeze on one side, so keep that in mind. While that may sound bad, it does a great job of keep the frozen separate from the cold. It's not perfect, but pretty darn close. Having a separate fridge and freezer is ideal, but this is a great compromise. Works surprisingly well. It has been a great purchase. Am going to add a little insulation to one side and the back to make it work that much easier. Don't cover the vents!
