      A:  On initial start-up with a 66 F box temp mine pulled 92 watts (using a kill-a-watt meter). As the box temp drops, so does the power usage: at 58 F box = 64 watts. At 37 F = 60 watts and ice box @ -1 F . . . hope this helps. Rich

      A:  Published info on this matter indicates about 37.5 watts running. Double that figure for start. I use my 'fridge in my RV and run it easily on a 2800watt generator along with my very important 1500 watt coffee pot!

              by|May 5, 2023

              A:  The "stainless look" is a plastic coating on the unit. It is not real stainless steel, it just looks like it and is far easier to keep clean.

                      A:  The refrigerator uses 120 watts.

                      by|May 5, 2023

                        A:  68 watts when the compressor is running and the door light is on. 56 watts when the compressor is running and the doors are closed (no door light is on) 12 watts when the door light is on (main door is open) but the compressor is not running 0 watts when the door is closed (door light is off) and the compressor is not running --- according to my trusty "Kill-A-Watt P3" meter. The actual energy your unit will consume per day, month or year will depend on the thermostat setting, how many times you open and close the fridge doors, and the temperature of the room that the fridge is located in. My unit has a very quiet compressor and does not seem to turn on very often - or at least I do not notice it when it is running.

                              Q:Can I lay this mini fridge down in my truck

                              A:  Well LULU, I am at a loss. I don't know the size of your truck or if you have a fifth wheel mount or tool boxes. The specs for the 4.3 mini refrig are 19.1" W- 43.4" H- 20.7" D. So if you want to lay it down in your truck, you would need to have 43.4" of space. Does that help?

                                A:  Unplugged, empty and any water drained yes. It should not be a problem. But I would wrap it so it doesn't hit anything or move around.

                                A:  Yes you can. However, once you get it in place do not plug it in. Leave it upright and unplugged for at least 4 hours and preferably 8 hours so that the compressor fluid can drain back to where it belongs.

                                  A:  I would say yes but be sure to stand it up and let it set for several hours before plugging in. I am just a consumer but this has been my rule of thumb passed on to me from my father.

Bottom part holds 1/2 gals of milk, juice, water and leftovers from moms. This unit is good for 1 to 2 persons only. Keeps everything cold.
