Overview
Smad built this 1.0 cu ft mini fridge around absorption cooling rather than a compressor, letting it run on either 12V DC or 110V AC power for RVs, trucks, and boats. It has a reversible, lockable door and a temperature range of 32 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
Because it uses absorption cooling rather than a compressor, it has no moving parts and runs silently, which is the main draw for sleeping spaces like a truck cab or RV bunk. That same absorption design means it needs to sit reasonably level to cool properly and performs better with steady power than with drastic on-off cycling.
- 1.0 cu ft absorption refrigerator
- Dual power: 12V DC or 110V AC
- Reversible door with lock and key
- Temperature range 32-50F
Who it's for
Fits RV, truck, and boat owners who want silent operation more than fast or freezer-cold cooling, and who can run 12V or 110V power to it. Not a fit for anyone needing freezer temperatures or fast pull-down after loading warm items.
Pros and cons
- Runs on 12V or 110V power
- Silent operation with no compressor
- Reversible, lockable door
- Removable shelves for organizing food
- Cools only down to 32-50F, not freezer temperatures
- Absorption cooling is slower and more level-sensitive than compressor fridges
Performance notes
Absorption refrigeration uses heat rather than a compressor to drive the cooling cycle, which is why it runs silently but also why the manufacturer recommends letting it settle upside down and then upright for a few hours before first use, and why absorption units generally cool more slowly and are more sensitive to being level than compressor fridges.
