Great fridge and freezer… but leveling legs need to made out of stronger material… 3 of 4 were broken off and bent.

Purchased after a propane fridge failure. Feel much safer with this unit. Works better than the propane ever did. Low energy consumption. Cools quickly. Holds temperature very well

Excellent frigidaire!

It looks well built and operates on 24 VDC as expected. We just started using it, so it’s too early to comment on reliability.

VERY HAPPY with the purchase and the unit!
Cabin Depot staff were VERY Helpful & HONEST!!!
HUGE Freezer / Plenty of METAL Rack shelves in fridge (not cheap plastic!)
QUIET Compressors with Status LED's and SIMPLE Blinking Diagnostic Codes.

The fridge arrived on-time and without damage. It appears to be working well and is much more efficient than my old one. Let's hope it stands the test of time.

But Colleen was very nice to deal with . Thanks for the service

Not sure what happened to my fridge but still isn’t here!

Super service livraison sans probleme et rapide Merci

I’m happy with the new SunStar’s performance as a fridge, but the compressor is louder and vibrates more than the 12 year old Steca unit it replaces. An indication of the actual inside temperature would be good - at a setting of 2 (cold) it froze items in the bottom of the compartment.

This is an excellent product! Easy to connect and performs as promised. Also, staff at the Cabin Depot were excellent during the ordering and shipping process.

What a tremendous upgrade from that tiny 6cuft manufacturer fridge. We can easily store 2 weeks of foodstuffs.

We let it set for 3 days following install. Plugged it in with the trailer temp at 17C. Working temp reached in less than 3 hours and with only 150W draw. Quiet as a mouse, had to actually pull the access panel to verify fridge was working.

Ultra low power draw is exactly what we need for our off-grid setup.

My wife's estatic, and you know the saying: " Happy Wife... Happy Life."

Buenos!!!! Gracias Cabin Depot.

Just took it to the cabin,not powered up yet. But
5star for fit and finish, no comparison to my unique fridge. Great quality. My old fridge is very poor quality. Wish the fridge was taller and somewhere between the 10 and 16 cu ft.

we like this a lot ! very energy efficient !
we dont like how hard the doors are to open.
also dont like the shelves impossable to adgust.

So far I am very happy. Seems like an excellent product and is as advertised. Very quiet and uses very little power. Delivery was easy and clean. Only slight issue was that there was nothing in the manual about how to change the doors. It was east enough to figure out, but the promo video on your website said the instructions on how to change the doors would be included. There was no info on that.
Otherwise, great, Thank you.

Fridge came with no damage.Have not installed as I have a other order in for solar panel and 5 more things.Backorder till April #46127 .Will install and see how it goes....

It’s a Monster , realy, realy big , not much noise
Up to now it’s seam’s perfect !

SunStar Solar DC/AC Refrigerator 10CU ST-10RF (Black)

SunStar Solar / DC Chest Freezer 15CU ST-15CF

We are amazed by the efficiency and quality. Able to run on our midsized solar system with little impact. Very pleased with this purchase!

Overall, very happy with the fridge. It seems to take less power than advertised. Only problem I have with it is it the freezer tends to be a little bit larger than what I need and the refrigerator part is a little smaller than what I was used to, however you can always use the freezer as a refrigerator if need be, would like to see a complete slide out drawer on the bottom of the freezer not just a portion . However, very much appreciate the AC/DC component of the fridge. It is whisper quiet, and as I said, it seems to take less power than advertised around 45 W by my measurements.

arrived without damage (other side of Canada)
works well, solar unit keeps up when we have sunny days.
Recommended!

I should get a free fridge for this review lol. But it is real.

We have had our fridge running for 6 weeks now. Be sure then to consider I can’t speak on the longevity of the fridge, however I would think that quality should be a factor. The quality is good.

What I like right away is this thing is build like an old Buick. Real solid, thick steal. It’s a fridge that if you hit it, it will win. That’s the “made in America” I guess. (I’m Canadian).
It isn’t fancy but it does look good in the “hand made” sorta way; which I like. Clean lines, decent fit and finish.

It’s bigger than it looks in and out. So we two, have no problem keeping what we want. We thought we’d maybe get a deep freeze as well, but I don't think that we need it now.

So important for us is efficiency on our 12 Volt DC system. So far it is so good I stopped thinking about it. I wondered and worried at first. Always checking, temperature, my battery voltage and drain. I am confident now that it will just be something I never think about. I can say as a tip. When you fire it up it draws hard for about 24hrs. So I ran our generator for almost the whole period. I ran the 2000 Honda. Wasn’t a big deal. After that it is just our normal routine.

I played around with my system a bit. We are off grid but I think of us as off grid, with money. Middle class money and willing to invest. Of my 12 Volt lead acid battery system it runs on 6 batteries along with our 12 Volt water pump. In winter, (Kelowna BC) on cloudy days, our usual routine is to run our generator 1 hour when we get up and 2 hours before bed. That charges the 6 batteries for 3 hours per day at 100 amps/hr. The batteries are large deep cycle RV batteries. During 24 hrs doing that, I maybe see 1 volt drop on the batteries which is nothing. So upfront cost is high including the fridge but all the propane fridges I have see aren’t near the size. So still cheaper than propane I figure. Especially if you add having to hump around propane bottles. If the sun is out all day we don’t run the generator at all as our panels can easily fully charge the batteries. I think this will be great in the summer when we get more and longer sun and days are hotter.

There are 2 problems but they don’t change that this is the right fridge for us.
1 is that the fridge door seal is like…………...sealed. I almost pulled the fridge over once yarding on the door to open it. I mean it is a really good thing, but it is a bit much. I want that kinda seal but still I don’t want to have to hold on to something for leverage when opening the door. I find the best thing to get used to that helps is not to push the door close to hard you over compress the seal. Like a suction cup, the harder you push the higher the vacuum. So we are starting to get used to just touching it closed and it opens more easily. I still recommend that Sunstar add a suction breaker valve that you push with your thumb as you open to break the seal more easily.
2 are the rotary temperature setting knobs. We have our door with the hinge on the left, which puts the knobs on the right opening side. I find when taking things out of the fridge or freezer we have inadvertently lowered the temperature setting, So like from setting it at 4 we have wheeled it to 6 or 7 a few times. We fixed it with tape. Again I think Sun Star might think of adding shoulders around the knob, especially on the back side.

Over all, I am very glad we got this fridge.

I give it 4 ice cubes out of 5.
I’m one of those people who find the point system is abused. No one should get a 5 unless it is like your floating in the clouds with harps playing n stuff. So 4 is a very good score when it comes from me.

Very Very Efficient
I purchased one of these last month, and it's done wonders for my solar system. I have easily 1kw/h extra every month due to switching to a Sunstar vs. my old inverted AC appliance. I recommend sunstar to everyone who lives off-grid

saves me a lot of power
this freezer is really a nifty unit. def the best craftsmanship i've ever seen on a mass-produced appliance. comes ready to run on 12v and is super simple to set up. no complaints. staff were easy to work with too. planning to get a 16cu sunstar fridge to go in my kitchen soon.
