FM-62DZ Whynter Vs SnoMaster EX67D

[nmdave7]

Is the Snomaster really worth $600 more? 5 year warranty vs 1 year. Let’s hear the opinions. Ready, set, GO!

No.

Engel or ARB

Does ARB make a dual zone classic series? I didn’t see one on the website

Dunno. I prefer two of the same unit can start with both in freezer mode, lots of flexibility

We have used a Whynter the same size and not dual zone and it has served us well for 2 years of full time everyday use with no complaints.

Costco's saving grace is a good warranty policy.

 

[nmdave7]

True, didn’t even know they had a line

Looks like you can’t get those in the US, only Canada?

Looking at the Amazon site, the Whytner gets 11% one star reviews, not very inspiring.

 

[john61ct]

Yes, not that I trust platform reviews, not a great rep in the forums either

 

[nmdave7]

So maybe ARB or SnoMaster?

No, Snomaster is grossly overrated and not energy efficient.

Engel is really the one.

ARB or National Luna.

Actually Indel-B is OK, makes Evakool, Truckfridge, Isotherm, Vitrifrigo, Tundra, OEM for Peterbilt & Kenworth

Ironman 4x4 has great service.

After that might as well go Dometic / Waeco

I have a Whynter 62dz. First one failed after first season, I had removed it from the car and a month later plugged it in to the wall. Ran and made inspiring noises but never cooled. Tried on 12vDC and it just sucked 3.5 amps infinitely, never achieving cooling. Not sure why. I got another one last spring and it's been unplugged for 3 months so I'm not sure what to expect when I go to use it again. I did find the zone set temps to be OK though as in.. ice cream stayed frozen, stuff in other compartment did not freeze. I'd be happier with a smaller fridge though and one that opens from the front like ARBs.

No, As pointed out already, Engel or ARB are the way to go,

I am just finishing a 3 way Fridge Shootout and you won't believe the power that the Snomaster Chews up, I have been testing them for about 3 or 4 weeks and I am trying to find the person I hate most so I can Give them this Snomaster as any early Christmas Present LOL

IMO 3-way are an entirely different product category from DC compressor fridges, individual models not to be compared as if apples to apples.
