I have a chance to pick one up on the cheap and am wondering if anyone is using one or has any feedback? Specs appear comparable to the Truckfridge TF49 (1.7 cu.ft., danfoss comp, selectable low batt shutoff) but with a lower voltage draw: 45W (35% runtime @ 86F ambient 41F internal) compared to 60W on the TF49 (unknown temps but listed on their site as 24W/Hr = 40% runtime?). Im mostly concerned about the volume. I was planning on getting the TF65 at 2.29 cu.ft. someday. However this would be a lot less money. We have been using a 2.0 cu.ft. cooler and Im pretty sure that two bags of ice drop us down to about the same volume. Just looking for someone to push me one way or the other Wink
Thanks
Colin
