Whynter FM-65G 65-Quart Portable Refrigerator/Freezer, Platinum

Good quality portable refrigerator/freezer
This refrigerator was purchased via Amazon Prime for use on a boat. This is a heavy item that I received overnight for $3.99 shipping--absolutely amazing service from Amazon. I was horrified to find that it did not work right off the bat but I received a same-day response from the manufacturer and they walked me through a procedure that got it up and running. Apparently, one of the electrical connectors sometimes detaches in shipping but can be easily reattached with some guidance. The refrigerator has worked perfectly since then (three months continuous use). Overall, this has performed as needed and I have been really pleased with the service from both the manufacturer and Amazon.

Love it!
So far so good. We use this as a spare refrigerator for our outdoor bar plus we take it on camping trips with us. Its better than any cooler (don't have to worry about refilling ice) and it keeps my beer and water bottles frosty cold. I would recommend this to anyone who needs an outdoor refrigerator as well as a spare refrigerator during any trip. I have not used in a freezer capacity so I have no idea how well it works for keeping things frozen.

great replacemnet for a Norcold
The Norcold outside fridge in my motorcoach failed after 10 years of dedicated service. The cost to replace it was unrealistically high so I gave this Whynter unit a try. Same 65 quart capacity and features but at 1/3 the cost.

Installation took ~2 hours as I needed to drill new mounting holes in my storage bays slide out tray and had to modify the feet on the new fridge so it could be bolted down. The feet have 5/16-18 threads so I used standard bolts with 3/4" rubber washers to make isolation feet.

The side mounted LED display can be hard to read in direct sunlight but the good news is once you set the temp it remembers even when unplugged for several weeks. Plug her back in and the unit cools down in just a few hours. Nothing like a 34 degree cold one after setting up camp.
