Best budget low watt mini fridge?

[yamsack]

Hi all,<br>What is your opinion regarding the best low watt mini/compact fridge out there?&nbsp; My budget won't allow for anything more than about $500, so perhaps maybe not the top of the line models.<br><br>If a low watt fridge is not possible without having to spend upwards of $700 or more, does anyone have opinions regarding Koolatron-type coolers?&nbsp; Aside from that, my only other option would be getting something like a Coleman Extreme cooler and then deal with having to regularly restock with ice.<br><br>I'm getting closer to making the decision to switch to this fun and exciting lifestyle, but I want to make sure I've researched it as much as possible before jumping in.&nbsp; Thanks for your patience with all these nonstop questions.&nbsp; <br>

</P>I don't know if you are near the Seattle area, but here is an Engal for $500 in Craigslist ... <A href="http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/for/2563803746.html" target=_blank>http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/for/2563803746.html</A><br><br>I'm looking for a low watt compressor fridge/freezer too.&nbsp; Unfortunately, that Engal is too big for my space.<br><br>Suanne<br>

</P>I've seen a lot of used dometics on craigslist in the seattle area.&nbsp; But, haven't been serious enough yet to go out and check them out, or to see if the smaller ones were small enough.&nbsp; Nor, have I checked if their power usage is as low as I want.<br><br>I set up an RSS feed so I get emails whenever someone posts something that meets my search criteria.&nbsp; This is the first Engel I've seen and I've had that RSS feed set up for a couple of months.&nbsp; It obviously caught my attention enough to go out a measure my space <br><br>Good luck to you ... and me too ...<br>
