Did some digging and found it at Walmart for $445 and then the Manual at Home Depot.
First thing I notice is it is a DC compressor fridge so it has the compressor which is a must for freezing temperatures. Can't find out if it has the highly reputation of a Danfoss Compressor or a knock-off.
Did find it is made in China. Not bad or good, but I try to stay away from mechanically things made there. My daughter worked for a company which had electrical tools made in China. The Chinese had a habit of changing designs without permission because they found a way to make it cheaper, a lot of time which shortened the reliability of the product.
Did find a couple of reviews which gave it good rating. One person said it pulled 1.5A which would be in line for the Engel.
For me, I've heard too much Good about the Engel to stray from them if I was in the market for this type of unit.
