My husband and I took our new Portable Fridge from EdgeStar for a test drive. There was a problem before we got out of the driveway. The DC power plug Wouldn't stay in the DC outlet in our Toyota Sieana Minivan. If I held it in, the fridge would go on, let go and in went off.

I called the Customer Service number at CompactAppliance where we purchased it. He informed me the problem was with my CAR, not the plug! When I told him all other DC plugs have worked (Cell charger etc.) he still insisted there is no problem with the DC plug or cord. I asked for a new cord but he said that it was a $45.00 cord and no way would they send that to me for free. He was rude and condescending. I asked to speak to a supervisor or tech support. He refused and said we could just return the unit. I ended up hanging up on him in anger and frustration. I spliced the cord myself and it works. I like the unit but would NOT recommend buying it from CompactAppliance, if you can help it, because THEY won't help YOU!

I've owned this FP630 unit for three months and have only one issue with it. I like the refrigerator/freezer itself very much, and it has worked well on AC current. However, the 12v connection cable is defective.

I ordered the longer 12v cable and it was defective also. In order to use DC current as your power supply you need to cut off the male plug (that plugs into your 12v power source) and replace it with a 10A, 12v DC plug you can find at Radio Shack for $5.99.

It's a PITA but you have no option per my call to the EdgeStar Factory representative. The problem with the 12v cables is that the male plug on the cable is defective in that its retention springs, that hold the plug into the wall or vehicle socket, are too weak the it will very easily move out of the socket enough to break the connection with the wall power source. And, in a motorhome or vehicle, you have constant vibration which adds to the problem of your connection being unreliable.

If you like the unit just purchase a new male plug, as the EdgeStar factory representative will advise you to do, and replace the male plug that comes on the power cable from EdgeStar. EdgeStar will give you the part number of the plug needed and I can vouch for the fact that this procedure will work.

I changed out both of my 12v power cables, the shorter one and the longer one, and they both work fine with the new replacement male plugs.

All and all, it kept all of the contents frozen, however, there are a few issues that one should be aware of before purchasing.

As stated, the operation of the freezer was great, but the carrying side handles are not durable enough to carry the weight of the freezer and its contents.

Also, if planning to use D/C power in a car for a prolonged period of time, be advised that there is a good possibility the power required to run the freezer will blow the 20 amp fuse in the D/C power adaptor.

We live about an hour away from our shopping area and it was hard to buy frozen products and get them home in good shape. This works great and now we can buy anything and not have to race home to get it in the freezer. Also works great for milk and stuff. We plan to use it as a extra refrigerator when we go on vacation this summer by putting a 12 volt plug in the back of the pick-up. Only down side is that this size is pretty heavy empty and when you put stuff in it it is a two person job to move it.
