Amazon only gives you 30 days, they're really not great.
Thanks
Thanks
I bought the smaller version.
The handle is flimsy... it is more designed to help you get the empty fridge from A to B.. if you filled this with full cans of liquid, it would be a very iffy situation using the handle, you would have to be very careful. I could see it breaking.
OP sorry for doing this here in your BougeRV list, but as this person said, slickdeals won't allow us to post this fridge .
I took a lot of pictures. Measurements, compressor .. and issue.
Issue: the seal is a sticky one sided foam pushed into the grove as you see in the picts. The problem I had with mine was the Amazon driver delivered it on its side. I met up with him in the parking lot and sawhim bring it out on its side, and asked if it was always on its side. The driver said he picked it up on it side so he kept it on its side.
I don't like that.. he even carried it to my door after i showed him the box says keep upright, on its side. So I was going to contact Amazon anyway if it made noises.
Problem 2: the seal had some high spots, it wouldn't stay pushed into its grove for some reason. I tried to slightly pull it out but I noticed its double sided tape on one side and if I removed the seal it probably would rip the seal. I know home depot has some pretty cool weather stripping I could replace the seal intirely. (see picture).. i was able to slide paper in and out between the 'high spots'. So I knew it wouldn't be a sealed closure of the lid. This is why now I am asking about the BougeRV about their seals. There is a plastic line on the fridge part the seal touches and the marking, indent of this line is seen on the seal when opening the lid. It was not evenly seen on the seal on the top of the lid once opened.
The seal is not thick so there is no pressue to close the lid, the lid closes plastic to plastic. It needs to be 1 milimeter thicker atleast.
Reguarding complaints.
I read people complaints on different models of 12v fridges like this.
Keep in mind, if it is a duel zone.. the devider (this one does) has a magnet in it that triggers the controlls to know you removed it. Some folks complain about 1 side not cooling... or they see --- where the temp should be on that side. There are talk about turning on that side by holding down buttons for 3 seconds. So people don't know what they are doing.
Secondly, sitting or standing on your fridge can warp the lid, there is no protection or support in the center of these lids if you sit or stand on them. they will warp. " it keeps running", or "it costs a lot of electricity'' comments. Well they probably warped the lid ( if the fan is not stuck on the coils) .
Also, left side is '' fridge '' right side is '' freezer'' don't have fridge lower temp the freezer. Can set both the similuar temps but not cooler on the left side. (with duel zone fridges this makes sense... side closer to compressor is ' freezer ' ).
It is hard to judge a negative comment.. Broken handles for example.. that is a lid release handle not a lift fridge up handle! I say out loud when I see those pictures of lid handles broken.
People have to have a brain to understand these things.
Bodega customer service took within 24 hr to reply and they even kept up with the conversation. They were great and understanding.
i turned it on for 40 seconds and it pulled 34w.
It is duel zone! has a devider, wheels with metal axle. 14" wide total. It is a great fridge dispite my enomoly of the seal and amazon driver not understanding english (can't read '' UPWARD '' or " This side up" ) even though he was from USA.
Measurements of interior is with divider out. Can put in 2 1gal milk plus 3 to 4 1/2 gal milk cartons (1 on small shelf) With the 2 gal milk jugs!. Can even put in 3 - 4 digorno pizzas (with 2 1gal milks - substitute the 1/2 gal cartons) as they are actually smaller then the 12'' box so crush the box down. It is 11 1/4 inch tall inside because of lid raised slightly in certain areas. You can NOT stand cans up right on the small shelf. ( as seen in some pictures of the website). 2 cans tall in the deep area but not 3. top cans have to lay on its side.
I hope this helps you.
