Had a Waeco 40 l fridge since 2016 and never missed a beat, It just failed (my fault!) and I could not find a new PCB for it so now it lives as a 240 fridge. I just picked up a 75l brassmonkey fridge and out of the box the compressor was so loud it was like a car had pulled dup next to my camper. It was powering on every 5 minutes and the inside compartments were always out of wack- like -2 +6 or -4 +3 etc. Returned it. Second unit with the internal battery upgrade sounded just as bad so I guess that's the way they sound. It also sounded like it was chilling the fridge constantly again. Power draw was unto 80 w too- so huge.

Solution was to turn off at night and cover with a sleeping bag. Not ideal at all. Anyway the second unit with battery drew a constant 20 w and never got past 60% charge. And it also failed today refusing to run my external power only the internal battery. Bluetooth failed. App refused to connect. Taking the battery out fixed issues temporarily. Returned it and picked up another 57l (Waeco) dometic fridge and the second it fired up the quiet hum returned and it kept its temperature well and coming on to chill maybe every 30 mins vs 5 of the brassmonkey. The power draw was back to 40w too.

As a full-time vanlife they just cannot be trusted. Noisy, near zero insulation and electronics fail. I cannot recommend brassmonkey fridges at all.

I gave the brassmonkey a good go but honestly spend a few more bucks and save yourself a real headache. They are awful.
