Bought this fridge/freezer about a year ago for use in an off-the-grid vacation cabin. It replaced a smaller one made in Argentina that I had bought and installed myself (except for the gas hookup) in 1981. Design and features have improved a lot since then! Shipment was on time, Lehman's staff were great in recommending which product to buy and in helping me through the installation, since my only previous experience was, as mentioned, in 1981). The unit has performed very well. I use it only 2 to 3 days a week, and shut it down between visits, and it takes only about 4 hours to reach full freezing and cooling operation. Operation is basically silent since it has no moving parts. I am very happy with it and though it is rather pricey, it does the job in a situation where it would otherwise by a royal pain to keep food cold.
