I did have to order this twice and thank goodness I ordered through Amazon. The first one I got was defective. It was super loud almost as loud as a table saw running when the compressor kicks in so I had to contact Euhomy support directly. I sent them a video and had asked me to do a couple of troubleshooting steps but didn't really fixed the issue. One thing to note, is that I think they are operating in China time so support responses are usually 12-15 hours later but they are responsive. Since I didn't order directly from their website, they just said to get a replacement process done within Amazon. It was a seamless process, I followed the prompts and had UPS pick up the item from home for free and received the replacement a few days after. I have now since tested and the difference is night and day. This is a very quiet unit. When the compressor is on you can barely hear it unless you have your ear right next to it.
So now for the actual review:
Noise level - couldn't get any quieter than this. If the noise level on your unit is louder than a whisper then have it replaced. This is a very quiet unit.
Size/Dimension - I got the 37 quart which is the smallest they have in this model and it works perfect for me. Product dimension they have on the pictures are accurate so its easy to decide which one to get. It would really depend on if you want to store more in the cooler or how much actual space you have for the cooler in the car.
Temperature - cools really fast and the ECO mode works really well. I only need about 15mins or less to get this from room temp to 30 degrees. It holds the temperature really well too especially if you already put chilled/frozen food on the cooler beforehand.
Energy Consumptions - I have used this with my Jackery 500 for a 2 night camping trip no issue. It took me at least a day and half to get the Jackery down to 50% with this plugged in at all times on ECO mode. I think that is the main thing, is to always keep it on ECO mode. The compressor doesn't kick in until 5-6 degrees higher than the set temp and even with that the compressor really just runs for 5mins or less to get it to the set temperature and pulls a constant 30 watts on the Jackery. Very energy efficient but wouldn't hurt to have a way to recharge your power stations just in case.
I do have one con which isn't a deal breaker and that is that even though it comes with a divider so you can have a freezer/refrigerator combo, I wish the refrigeration side was the larger side. Also, when the divider is on for the combo mode, you cannot change the temperature on the refrigeration side. Temperature can only be regulated for the freezer side.
All in all, I am very happy with this product so far and the price point is just amazing for what it does. Hopefully it lasts a very long time.
