Hi,
I am hoping a few fellow members might be able to help me make a decision on something.
I am having trouble deciding between the two following portable refrigerators:
The first unit is the National Luna 40 Liter Stainless Refrigerator. This unit has cooling plates on all sides including the bottom and thicker insulation. It cools down a bit faster, stays cold a little longer, runs a bit more efficiently, uses less power, and runs a little longer on battery power than he other unit I am considering from the same company. The only thing this does not have is a separate Freezer compartment. It is either a Refrigerator or a Freezer ... not both.
40-litre
The second unit I am considering is a National Luna 50 Liter Split Weekender Fridge / Freezer. This unit lacks a bottom cooling plate and has less insulation. It takes a little longer to cool down, does not stay cold as long, runs a bit less efficiently, uses more power, and does not run as long on battery power as the unit above. However, this unit does feature a separate refrigerator and freezer. The freezer section runs about 12 to 15 degrees colder than the refrigerator section.
50-litre Weekender
So my questions are as follows:
1 - Any comments on either of these units from people who actually own one? Are you happy with your purchase and does the unit serve you well?
2 - How often do you wish you had a freezer while on a trip? I think the freezer section is snall so it is not like I can put a whole lot in there.
3 - Any negatives besides what I pointed out above in either unit?
I am trying to think about what I would want to freeze ... and outside of an extended journey, I cannot think of much. I do not eat ice cream and perhaps and would hope to avoid eating TV Dinners while camping if I could. Am I missing something here?
