This is a first impression. I’ll update it after a year.I bought this to replace the smallest dometic brand. That lasted three years before the temp control stopped working and I wasn’t able to fix.This unit is lighter. It has a MUCH better cord plug, which is at an angle so it’s flush with the side when you place the unit against a wall or other boxy items. The plug of the dometic stuck out straight and was in danger of getting damaged or bent.This unit has electronic Temp control which is nice. That’s on the top. Yay. Not on the side near the bottom where it’s likely to be hard to see if the unit is among other items and gear. This unit has a mini ice tray which is so cute and actually works, but only enough for two beverages. Had they added an ice storage area, to store cubes while you made more, that would have been great. But hey. Any ice on a hot day far away from civilization is wonderful and I’ll give the engineer who did the design work a nice cold kiss.The structure seems good, but not as solid as the dometic. I sit on this unit carefully but had not a worry at all with the dometic which I treated as another seat, it was so solid. Note the dometic is much heavier, and some of that weight was probably in the structure. The dometic had a lid latch. This unit does not. I’m ambivalent.Power consumption is small, on par with the dometic. I have mine set to low. It has some other settings regarding how far you want toallow it draw down your battery. The controls are modestly easy to learn, and easy to work. It has a lock out to prevent accidental button activation. The control panel light stays on. It’s either annoying or a nice nightlight, depending. I put a pillow on top of mine for a bit of extra insulation, and now my aging Pom has taken up residence there.Two weeks after purchase I’m very happy. I would like to get 10 years use from this item. Is that an unreasonable expectation for the purchase price? I don’t feel it is. Most of the details that would all
