Re: Edgestar 43qt fridge/freezer
Thank you Herb for the pictures their site doesn't give many details.
I have 2 questions:
- Do you know what kind of compressor is monted inside?
- The inside floor is made of the same metal sheet as the inside walls (as visible on your pictures) and sealed at each corner/edge?

Re: Edgestar 43qt fridge/freezer
According to someone over at Expedition Portal, the compressor is a Matsushita (Panasonic) brand. I have not verified that.
The floor of the fridge appears to be the same material as the walls. I'll have to check on the seam sealing. That thought crossed my mind yesteray, but I ran out of time to check it.

Re: Edgestar 43qt fridge/freezer
Herb and others as well. Do you think the lid on this type of fridge/freezer is strong enough to sit on? You might have someone make a cushion that could snap on. Just thinking down the road a little.
Thanks,
Steve

Re: Edgestar 43qt fridge/freezer
Herb,
Thank you for all the information.
With the prices listed in the other thread, looks like a good deal. One more to think about.
Andrew

Re: Edgestar 43qt fridge/freezer
I'd like to have a backup for the van and was thinking of the smallest version. I could probably use it as storage when not in use if that's practical...or is it?

Re: Edgestar 43qt fridge/freezer
My family has been using fridges and coolers as storage containers since before I was born. It wasn't until my brother and I first got our SMBs that refrigerators were used as refrigerators and not storage.

Re: Edgestar 43qt fridge/freezer
Hey Herb,
I'm starting to think about a fridge for Hal. It's been a year since you bought the Edgestar. Mind if I ask for a operational update?
Thanks,
Dave

Re: Edgestar 43qt fridge/freezer
and while we're asking...
what was some of your deciding factors on this fridge/freezer over other models out there like ARB, NORCOLD, etc.?
