Following also. I watch All 4 Adventure on youtube and Weaco is all they use and seem to be good kit. I have my eye on a 80 on CL for 500 right now that is brand new.

I have no experience with the Waeco units, so I will not comment on them. I will say that my experience with the Engel units does not match up to the results of the test. I make a habit of measuring my total amp draw when I camp with my Engel MT45, and it usually uses about 12-15 amp hours in a 24 hour period. At 2.5 amps, a 50% duty cycle would be 30 amp hours. I am not sure why the authors believe that the Engel (Sawafugi) units are designed to run almost constantly. That would result in almost 50 amp hours in a 24 hour period.

Now it is true that I am mostly in mild climates high 80's during the day and high 50's at night, but I am not sure how they got the Engel to draw 2X the current as the rest of the fridges.

Yeah my Engel (MR040) doesn't use much juice at all. Engel told me it would average about 1 amp, and in my experience it hasn't even used that much. Though like you I don't live in a desert or anything.
