Our expert's take
A compressor fridge is a good call if you like to stay off-grid, because it runs efficiently from your leisure battery. Plan your battery and charging around it, and leave the ventilation space the installation manual asks for, otherwise it will run for longer and use more power.

Frequently asked questions
What are the main specifications?
Total volume: 138 L. Freezer volume: 11.6 L. Power supply: 12 V DC. Energy consumption: 0.46 kWh/24h. Dimensions (H x W x D): 1598 x 418 x 503 mm. Weight: 36.2 kg. The full list is in the Specifications table in the product details.
What power supply does it need?
Check the input voltage in the specifications. Compressor fridges only draw power while the compressor runs, so real-world use depends on the ambient temperature, how full the fridge is and how often it is opened. We can help you plan your battery and charging setup if you call 0330 122 7773.
Does it need ventilation?
Yes. Built-in compressor fridges need airflow around the compressor to work efficiently. Follow the installation manual for the cut-out size and ventilation requirements. Where available, the manual is in the Downloads section.
