I been shopping around for coolers for awhile and came across this 65QT Whynter fridge on craigslist. They run anywhere from $550 to $650. I found mine on Craigslist for $230. It was brand new and had a small dent in the front. I read a bunch of reviews on this fridge and decided to buy it for the price. I got it home and plugged it in to AC. Its very quiet you can barley hear it running. After running it for a couple days on AC I was very satisfied on how cold it kept things. The big test for me was running it off a 12v deep cell. I purchased a battery off amazon and connected the fridge. Battery was showing 12.7 volts when I connected it. Its bee running for 4 straight days now and the battery is still and 12.3. Its ideal conditions as I have it running in the house. I have the temp set at 35 degrees and it fluctuates from 31 to 37 degrees. All and all I thing its working pretty good. The real test will be in Death Valley in a few weeks as the temps will be in the high 80s.

That seems like a solid deal, looks like they have some more maybe as well, wish they were a little closer to me.
 
I have the same one, all in all I like it, strongly recommend the insulated cover for it. I ran it for up to 4 days on my stock FJ battery(6years old) for 4 days before it started to struggle(before i got the cover). My only real complaint is the side carrying handles are a bit on the weak side, I've had them pop out while carrying it loaded. Just have to put it in the truck, then load the fridge.
 
If you are in the market for the Whynter portable fridges... keep an eye on a certain "Orange big-box-store"s website as they go on sale there when regular appliances do. They have very competitive pricing even when not on sale. They are a lot of fridge for the money, thats for sure.

Well the fridge lasted 6 days on one battery charge. Strange I thought the fridge woeldd stay running until the voltage got below 10.4 but it stopped at 11.6 Wish there was a way of turning that off since Im running a stand alone battery but Im still pleased with how long it lasted.

6 days is excellent! I have not tried that with my standalone battery yet. I may have to try it before the Mojave road trip at the end of the month.
