What is "Indel B?" I assume that they are a manufacturer. The TruckFridges seem to be very similar to our IronMan4x4 unit http://www.ironman4x4.com/html/fridge.html. Let us know how your unit performs.

Indel B is the manufacturer of the truck fridge. It probably is the manufacturer of your iron man fridge as well. A little badge engineering is taking place here I think.

K christian -- can you please take a amp meter and see how many amp the fridge is using while running? My edgestar is using about 4.2amps when the pumps on and since yours has a danfoss motor hopefully it will use less.

A measure of average current is probably a better indicator of a fridge's efficiency than the actual current draw of the motor while it is running... I would also measure over several cycles the amount of time the compressor runs each cycle, and the amount of time before it starts up again (also noting the room's temperature too).

Fridge looks good! Subb'd for report about amperage.

I just ordered the TF41. My old Norcold Tek II crapped out and I was planning to purchase the Edgestar. The Danfoss compressor was the deciding factor.

Sold my wife on the purchase due to my perception that the Edgestar price went way up after Expo members started buying them. "We gotta get the Truckfridge before everyone starts ordering and the price goes up!" It could happen.

Another selling point was that I plan to keep the fridge under a bench seat when my Flippac is ready in October/ November. The Edgestar 43 quart is 20-13/16" high and the TF41 is 17" high. My bench seat can now be roughly 4" lower. I'm 6'-2" and the height is not a problem, but for my 5'-3" wife it is.

The 41 liter Truckfridge is 43.32 quarts.

I'll post pictures and amp readings when it arrives.

Awesome, looking forward to your update! Im really curious what the amps will be, since the edgestar's are generally a little higher than the more popular brands.

The Truckfridge/Indel B 50l consumes .7w when the compressor is not running, when the compressor is running on ECO my amp meter says 3.5a/44w and on MAX 5.7a/71w. Although I did not record the totals consumed, my 50l performed well, connected to 40w (labelled), actual 25w peak output measured, of solar panels and 2 - 12v 100 amp deep cycle batteries over 9 days. I set up the fridge and panels the afternoon of 8/11, and disconnected them on the morning of 8/19. Temperatures during the day were up into the 90's, but down to the lower 60's at night, and I had the thermostat set at 34. The lowest the battery voltage I observed was 12.05v, and the milk was still cold when I loaded up to head home.

nice 3.5amps is a good amount lower than my 4.3amps. With my 30w solar panel and a little driving here and there it keeps everything charged. You should be even better off with that fridge, Maybe if my edgestar ever dies ill look into those as a replacement.

So far Im like 1year 7 months I think with my edge-star and its been in my 4runner everyday since I bought it.

I'm super interested in these. I have been on the fence about Edgestar...seems like a crap shoot with them. Although having the hundreds of trials with EdgeStar sure does help if and when something happens to one of them. I just hate to spend almost a grand on a name brand, when models like this and Edgestar are out there and seem to be worth ti when you factor in the price comparison.

FWIW, I measured 3.8 amps draw with my Fluke 87 on my Edgestar 43q while it was running (@12.5 volts). Sounds like they must vary a bit between units?
