The Engel units offer convenient, transportable freezers/refrigerators that run very efficiently, minimizing power drain on vehicle batteries. Engel Top Open Fridge Freezer Coolers are light in weight, draw very low amounts of current, and operate at the extreme angles often encountered in planes, cars, trucks, small boats. Most Engel Freezer Fridges also make handy and reliable mini refrigerators or freezers for the garage or workshop because they run just as easily off 110 V AC circuits. 100% CFC-free, the Engel Top Open Fridge Freezer Coolers are powered by an advanced swing motor design. The Engel swing compressor is internationally patented and is considered the most reliable compressor on the market today, as it contains only one moving part! The swing motor is an electrodynamic reciprocating device that connects directly to the compressor's piston, providing great economy and allowing compact size, light weight, and efficient power consumption. In fact, the Engel Top Open Fridge Freezer Cooler draws just 2.5A at freeze. Temperature control settings ensure that the Engel Freezer Fridges will keep all your food chilled or frozen at your chosen temperature with ice free operation.

Money Saver!
By C. A. Freeman
I'm an OTR trucker & this Fridge was tailor made for us guys. I have estimated I have saved many times the cost of this fridge over the 5 years I have owned it. Along with a small microwaveGE JES735WJ .7 Cu. Ft. Capacity Countertop Microwave Oven& a 12V/110 inverterCobra CPI1550 Dual Outlet AC/DC Power InverterI'm not a slave to overpriced truckstops. I can carry along a weeks supply of groceries(Leftovers, TV dinners, Lunch meats & cheeses etc.) along with all the beverages I need. Restocking is a matter of stopping at any large supermarket.Don't let the large size intimidate you as you rareley have to take this out of your vehicle......just take the removable wire basket(included) out, load & put back in the cooler & your good to go. The fridge fully loaded weighs upwards of 100lbs with 50 of that for the groceries. When I get ready to leave I just load the basket, take it to the truck & drop it in.Unlike the cheap Thermo-electrics the Engels has a compressor & cools or freezes to whatever temp you set it., one or the other but not both, either a fridge or freezer & its not dependant on ambient temp.A side benefit; unlike built in fridges this one goes with you whether your switching trucks or going on vacation to the lake(works on 110 as well as 12V so you have a spare fridge/freezer at the cabin)If you plan on an extended stay on the lake this will work in you boat as long as you have a 12V plug in.All in all a great little cooler.Very rugged & very reliablePros1.dependable2.quiet3.energy efficient4.portability5.built like a tank,steel housingCons1.cost2.bulkyIf this one ever quits I will buy another.

Expensive but you get what you pay for
By JK
This freezer is based on the Sawafuji "swing" compressor. Unlike the fairly similar and far less costly EdgeStar FP430 which uses a Danfoss compressor, the Engel MT45F is specifically designed to be operated in a moving vehicle, and can be run while at an angle of up to 30 degrees. It pulls a maximum of 2.5 paltry amps at 12 volts DC (the Edgestar draws 2.75 amps max, but can get food a little colder). It has a steel exterior, while the similar but less expensive ARB Fridge Freezer, which also uses the swing compressor, has a tough plastic housing, which might be a better choice for boaters.The Engel is built like a tank, and comes with a 2-year factory warranty. I've had mine running while driving over thousands of miles of rutted dirt and gravel roads, and it works as well as the day it was new.My biggest beefs with the Engel are: the price, which is close to twice that of the comparable Edgestar and more than the ARB; the storage capacity, which is pretty small; and the primitive controls--no temperature readout, and only a single dial marked 1 - 5. A more minor gripe is that the compressor hum, while not terribly loud, does seem to carry--you'll know when the Engel is running. Also, it is heavy. Those big steel handles are there for a reason (they also make good tie-down points).

Wonderful Freezer
By Paul Claxton
I've been an avid camper for more than three decades and got into off-road exploring about 18 months ago with the purchase of a new truck. We often spend two and three nights and days out in the desert of Southern California trekking about. In the summer we have problems maintaining our food at safe chill levels and our drinks at the preferred temperature.I have an electric cooler which does only a fair to poor job of keeping the internal temperature 20-30 degrees cooler than the 100 degree external temperature. Food will spoil quickly at these temperatures. I've tried three different coolers of increasingly larger sizes stocked with more and more ice. I ended up with two coolers stuff at about 50% ice and 50% food or drink.With the outside temperature of 68 degrees I read the following temperatures inside the empty Engel 45:1 = 39 degrees2 = 25 degrees3 = 20 degrees4 = 14 degrees5 = 1.9 degreesThe basket pulls out so that you can fill it in the kitchen and haul the food out to the waiting freezer. This helps make moving the already freezer easier.
