Is it Thermoelectric or Compressor cooled and what is the average temperature cooling range. Thank you

I think thermo, but not sure. It is very quiet and stable. We keep white wine in it and it is chilled enough to drink. We have been very pleased. Takes about 24 hours to get to temperature when you turn it on.

the model I had was compressor cooled, but failed within 9 months of purchase.

It has a compressor. My 2 wine coolers are able to maintain a low of about 50 when the setting is on low. Cools fast. I have many of the expensive wines in these coolers and they have kept well. I also use one of them exclusively for the whites and they have kept cool. I keep both of mine at the low setting only because the medium gets the wines very cold. a half hour before opening transfer the whites to the regular refrigerator and serve. My oldest one is 7 or 8 years old and working good as new. Also consumes very little power at the low setting. Stacked creatively you can squeeze 18 bottles into it.

I have never tried to get an exact range but I do know other reviewers said it doesn't hold a steady range. It also failed very soon after the warranty period.

I'm not sure if it compressor but the the answers it appears it is. So far, mine is running well. It does make some noise at times and when it shuts off, the wine bottles rattle but now I am so used to the sound, I pay no attention. Good for the money......Marilyn

I don't know exact figures but since its not a refrigerator but rather a thermal electric heat exchanger based cooler it doesn't draw much power.

As far as I know, all HVAC systems in the US are 24VAC / 240VAC split systems. The Thermostat and contractor are 24V, the Compressor is 240V. If you do it yourself, please remember to pull the blade as well as turning off the breakers.

The kit is vented and comes with a heatsink for the processor. No need for active cooling. I know people that run these 24/7 without any type of cooling and they have not had an issue. If you must add a fan, a 40mm fan that can run on 5v from the USB would do I guess.

From the manual, "POWER REQUIREMENTS: 9.5 to 14.4 Volts DC, 4 Amperes @ 12 Volts DC Nominal. COOLING PERFORMANCE Cools from 38 F to 42 F below the average surrounding temperature. Empty cooler reaches minimum temperature in 3 hours."

Not sure what the range is but I know mine is set for a range of 10*C between 35 and 45 on the heat - this is fully programmable and it goes down to tenths of a degree C. And there is an adjustable compressor delay that ranges from 1-3 minutes I believe (programmable). The range at which it kicks on both heat and cool are completely programmable, although it's a little tricky to figure out at first. I use one to keep a quail brooder warm and another in a home-made incubator.

i keep it in mid level(freezer) and i have not yet hear the compressor kick in and make noise.I read some reviews about this.im not making ice(have not tried)but my water and drinks are very cold so far.So,mine is very low or quiet.

110 AC...My friend bought this for me and returned it obviously because it caught fire!!! She did NOT read the reviews before purchase. I would not have bought this one because of the bad reviews!

This model Danby 256bl does not list a c ondensor in its parts inventory. It has a compressor and an evaporator. The compressor does get hot and the unit does not cool evenly. It leaves some foods frozen w1th ice, some at about room temperature and some at various levels of cool in between. I made sure my unit is sitting on a level surface and is within all requirements and constraints as is suggested in the owner's manual for proper maintenance and operation. Soooo - I am not too thrilled woth the product. Additionally, It arrived a shambles. The packaging was not to be believed. A piece of foam about 1/8 of an inch under the thin wrapping paper on the sides. Nothing but the wrappping paper on the top torn up and a few pieces of the same hanging off the bottom. There was a nice big gash/dent on the side - but it didn't interfere with the operation of the frig. Under my circumstance, I had to keep it as long as it worked because it was a medical necessity for all medications and other life saving items i needed. Anyway about a few months after it came in it started to create ice on the interior of the frig and I discovered that if this occurredf one must manually defrost it. So regardless of the fact that I purchased this item based on the fact that it was the only one that size advertised as "Frost Free" - It turns out to be a do it yourself frost free. JHope this helped you.

I'm not sure how they came up with that number. It's more like 15000 btu. It does work good. I have a 22 foot travel trailer and we were in some 100+ temps and it kept us cool also on the flip side we live in the Colorado Rockys and on a few nights I've used it to heat and it will do the job well. I have it on a 20 amp circuit so it couldn't be drawing to much power. I did notice that when the compressor turns on it will automatically turn down the blower fan to reduce startup amperage. Then it will increase it after everything is stabilized. Hope this helps.

The unit uses no gas and has no compressor. It cools be mechanical transfer of heat from an inside fan to a metallic heat sink block through the case to the outside where another fan transfers the heat out from the mea sink. In addition, this unit uses a "heat pipe" technology that assists with that process. There is no gas or liquid used in the pipe, it is just another heat sync (metallic) that transfer heat fro the inside to the outside. These unit keep the inside temperature of the unit at least 20 degrees below ambient temperature.

I don't really know as I have the converter to electric so my Kooltron was always kept cool either in the car or inside. I also did not have the unit in 90 degree temperatures.

The specs said Liquid Cooled but mine isn't either (unless it's like no other liquid cooled device I've ever seen). It runs very cool though so I've had no issues. Still would have been nice if they had the correct info. I must say though after having it for 5 months now I still love it as much as the day I got it.

i wouldnt suggest OC on stock heatsink. the EVO 212 looks similar to what i got (Arctic Freeze 7 pro), i have my system OC at 4Ghz and in a full tower case i get no more that 55 C during the summer (in oklahoma we have high humidity for the summer), and now with winter set in it stays sub 45 C

Max temp on this processor is 62c, for a longer lasting lifespan you don't want it above 58c under full load, I thought you should know this so you can make a fair judgement. The stock heatsink is not going to OC and keep you in that temp range under full load. The coolermaster hyper 212 is an excellent low cost replacement, I personally use a zalman 9900max but its a bit pricey for air cooling. When you OC this chip it can pull up to and a bit over 300 watts on 12v. Save your components the stress and spend a bit for a hyper 212
