Buyer Critiques
I seriously like iced apple juice, but the ice was melting just before I ever completed my drink. I was going by way of apple juice like crazy, but in no way seriously drinking a lot of it. I bought this individual fridge to cut down on wasting apple juice (do not like it all watered down from melted ice). It operates so well, that I can fill a 12oz glass with juice, place in a handful of cubes of ice, and seven hours later, the ice has not melted. Consider about it...seven hours! If I leave a glass of ice and juice out for 30 minutes, the ice has melted down to small bitty bits and the juice is also watery.
I employed the "Mastercool MSC52224A Infrared Thermometer in Case with Cost-free MSC52220 Analog Thermometer" that I purchased from Amazon to check the temperature performance. The manual for the mini fridge says that it is capable of cooling to 32 (deg F) below ambient. I checked it on a hot day, a warm day, a cool day, and a variety of times between utilizing the digital IR thermometer and it is consistently 32-45 degrees cooler inside the fridge than the outside temperature. Even on a 90 degree day the ice did not melt and I did not have to replace my drink. The inside temperature at the warmest spot was consistently hovering about 45 to 47 degrees (F). My drink was at around 36 to 38 degrees, based on where I measured it.
On the days that were around 70 degrees, this fridge read temperatures close to freezing. In fact, I was amazed when I pulled out a frosty glass of apple juice. It happened only once, but nonetheless...worth mentioning.
I think the trick to receiving this to operate optimally is to supply a number of inches of space for the back finish exactly where it vents out the heat. I utilized the thermometer there as properly- the vent on either side exhausts at about 90 degrees (F) but at a low volume so it is not very beneficial as a space heater.
The unit runs quiet- extremely quiet. It comes with each an AC adapter, and a DC lighter-socket adapter for the vehicle. The power switch has three positions- Off (middle) to the proper is 110AC, and to the left is 12VDC (automobile). There is a single green LED to indicate ON operation, there are two warm air exhausts on every single side at the rear, and two cool air intakes- one particular at the back plate, and 1 on the leading at the aft end. This is why ventilation and spacing is critical- due to the proximity of the hot air exhaust and cool air intake- there requirements to be area for the warm air to dissipate and not be drawn in by the cool air intake. The manual says 6 inches space all around, I've identified that about half that operates in my circumstance.
I have not attempted a six-pack, or attempted utilizing it in a vehicle. What I can say is that if you like to have a cold drink handy to sip on all day when you study, this unit is worth each and every penny. I have not had to waste a glass of juice given that it was watered down since applying this unit- for that, five stars simply.
I purchased this for my cubicle at work. I wanted to preserve water or soft drinks cold adequate that I did not have to have to maintain heading to the cafeteria for ice. It functions fantastic for that goal. CAUTION: It will only fit 12-oz cans of soda, and eight-oz bottles of water (these can be tricky to uncover). A single 16.9-oz bottle of water will only fit inside sideways, and will take up all the offered space. I preserve it turned on 24x7. The fan noise is fairly low (consider White Noise). I agree with other reviewers that the latch is flimsy and seems simple and easy to break use it with extreme care. But general, the price tag, size and functionality of this mini fridge make me a happy buyer.
