Craig, I realize this is a bit late to the discussion, and that you've already purchased a Dometic.

 

For the benefit of others reading this, one of the many things that is important to consider when buying a small fridge/freezer is what you plan to carry. For example, while I like the Engel brand, and thought the Engel MD14F's 15 quart capacity might meet my needs. But when I realized I couldn't stand up a container of cream for my all important morning coffees, I had to consider something else.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi, how do you provide power to the Refrigerator? Would you buy the power station or storage for that?

Lucas,

Most if not all the 12v refrigerators have a cigarette lighter type plug. Some have other style plugs and many have 110 V ac adapter plugs as well

The Dometic CFX-28 comes with a 12v cigarette lighter plug. It also will run on 110v.

We are quite happy with it. When empty it is pretty easy to remove or put in the truck although it mostly stays in place in the truck cab now. Used it a week ago after buying two boxes of Healthy Choice Fudge bars at Costco. Kept them frozen during the 45 min drive home. ;-)

Here is an incomplete refrigerator comparison spreadsheet I created while downselecting to the Dometic CFX-28 that we purchased.

 

Hopefully someone will update this with info on the larger models.
