Sure others might have improved efficiency (a bit)

ARB used to relabel them, dunno if still as good.

The **real** decision factor for me, is how easy to repair, especially getting replacement parts years from now after a model's been discontinued or that brand gone under.

Dometic / Waeco definitely cost-engineers afaict.

Snomaster not as great as their PR? https://www.expeditionportal.com/for...t-time.208737/

Indel-B brands seem to be pretty robust.
Snomaster was backordered (it’s a product from South Africa), which is not strange after the raving test results and growing reputation over the past 5 years.

I have performed a lot of testing on these units and am currently building new cabinets for them for the galley. When finished, this will be posted on our blog but for now short updates are on our Facebook page. Energy consumption is the same as our current custom boxes with 4” (fridges) and 6” (freezer) insulation and build quality exceeds them
