I just received today a Snomaster (S. African company) LS35 fridge/freezer. It has easily the best warranty in the business, and they make their own compressors. I'll be stocking it tonight with some Vernor's Ginger Ale, Coke, and water bottles, then throwing it in my Jeep to try out for a few days. It cooled off FAST!
By the way, I asked Snomaster if they had Danfoss compressors. They said they put Danfoss compressors, which they still consider to be very good, in the stuff they make for other brands. They use their own for products with their own name on them and warrant them much longer. 7 years on the compressor, and 3 years on everything else.
Anyway, it seems well built. It can go down to 8 below zero, has a light which, like the ARB, doesn't shine in your eyes, has a drain (like ARB and Dometic), and also has an alarm on the latch that sounds if left open for more than 90 seconds. I like that feature, as I've got a bunch of young kids that tend to leave cooler lids open. Anyway, I brought it home, unboxed it, and watched it cool down from 90 degrees to 33 in about 13 minutes. Fast!
