Sounds like you got a thermoelectric. No, they suck, they only get "cool" and they draw TONS of power doing it.

That's the same as this one. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23350 Different name, same fridge. Several of us bought these a while back for $400 or less shipped. I have an Engel in my Jeep and my wife has the Edgestar in hers. We've had no complaints with either one. I doubt the cheaper one is as sturdy for hard core off roading, but for around town and mild trails or typical "Overlanding" I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one. I haven't measured the difference in power draw between the two but my wife has a single Optima Red Top in her Liberty and has left the fridge running for more than 24 hours before with no problem starting the vehicle afterward.
