Anyone have this 11qt small cooler it cools down to -4F and only consumes 27W

Well I had 60$ coupon and 20 off 80 that brings it down to just 5 bucks . Can finally risk buying a fridge. I am worried that it would be too small but I think I can easily keep some eggs and small container of food I cook. Also some container of ice creams pints because they are buy 2 get 1 free at local store which I miss out just buying 1 every other week I am really impressed it consumers a max of 30W but it if that's true I will be really happy. That's super energy efficient.

So does anyone have such a small fridge (only 11qt) in your car. I would love to hear your experiences

PSA: Black Jeep Armed guys trying to break cars at 3am

Just be aware that I saw armed guys with flashlight going through cars (possibly trying to break in). This was in Oak and Vernon at 2:55am. Probably trying to break in cars around this place. Black Jeep with a driver and possibly more but not sure but 3 black guys (2 black jackets and 1 light gray hoodie) came out checking cars with flashlights with driver warning them with low horn sounds

Honeywell Turboforce power fan 50% off for 12.50 at Walgreens in clearance right now (probably 10inch fan)

Saw this by chance and bought it. It needs 110V. Far stronger than USB fans. Got 3 sped levels. Highest uses only 18W and the rest 2 less than 12 W and it doesn't register with my inverter.

Needs an inverter or a Power Bank The sound is lower than my USB fans and nobody can hear outside my car.

Great for night without AC at 90F ambient temp. Can even run 2.

P.S. The sound on the video is due to phone closer to the fan and not the way it actually sounds.

On my YT feed. Found it interesting - 15 "Banned" Vehicle Living Hacks That Carry 90 Days in Jail in 44 States

Are you guys aware of these rules. Not sure how true it is but everything depends on your local place

Amzchef 1800W induction plus a Hot Diffuser plate still better than Infrared

Just testing a Hot Diffuser plate that helps to transfer heat from induction cooktop to pots that are not Induction compatible

It is still way fast than regular Infrared. Also shown are the power levels on Amzchef which has P1 to P20. P10 level uses 830W, P12 uses 1000W, P15 @ 1200W. I guess P20 uses 1800 or close to it but my inverter is only 1500W and it sounds alarm and I don't use max power level.

Same with temperature leveled goes from 120F to 465F. It starts with 285F using about 830W. Different temperature levels uses different wattage with minimum 120F using 620W for few seconds before switching to 35-45W which is normal operating wattage.

Induction is way faster and best for using with LiFePO4 batteries and inverter. The total amount of wattage used depends on your power or temperature level and duration used and can boil water in a pot within 3 minutes.

The hot plate diffuser gets hot very quickly and does help if your pots are not Induction compatible

Interesting video about 12V Kettle and 240V Kettle boiling times and energy usage

This Aussie channel has lots of information on LiFePO4. This video shows the difference on boiling times, energy usage of same quantity of water. (It is 240V because that's the standard voltage in Australia)

So don't waste your money on 12V Kettles thinking you are saving energy (wattage). There is hardly any saving using 12V and using one from inverter output (whether 120V or 240V)

Lots of people here have misconceptions about efficiency losses using an inverter. In real world scenarios it is not the case and savings are minimal and some 12V units even consume more than inverter losses.

So save your money. Using an inverter doesn't make you unwanted purchases and can let you use existing appliances saving you more or when buying on FB marketplace

Checkout that channel for more information on using LiFePO4 with other real world appliances.
