Engel MR040F-U1 Marine Fridge Freezer (AC/DC), 40 Qt
A breath of salt air might be bracing to you first thing in the morning, but it can be tough on steel. That’s why we offer the Engel MR040. It offers the same performance as our MT35 and MT45, but with a durable, corrosion-resistant ABS case – and more suited for Marine applications. All Engel fridge/freezers feature the Engel Swing Motor Compressor. Highly efficient, it typically draws around 1 to 2 Amps per hour (check the specs below), about 40% less than a traditional compressor. Engel fridge/freezers run on battery power (12V/24V DC) or 110V/120V AC, so whether you’re on the road, on the water or safe at home, you can use your Engel to make life a little easier.

My biggest problem if you could call it one is that I too easily freeze things I’ve been running my MR040 continuously since March 2015, half the year in my 4×4 and half in the house, and it’s been flawless. I rarely want things frozen inside, though it’s seemingly effortless for it to do so, and so I run the control between 1 and 2 (out of 5).

I would like it to have electronic controls but I see where Engel prizes durability and longevity over all else – and…
