Video Transcript for Review of Vitrifrigo RV Refrigerators - Stainless Steel RV Mini Fridge Built In Freezer - VT44XR

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this Vitrifrigo stainless steel RV mini fridge with freezer. Now this is a 4.2-cubic-foot compact 12 and 24 volt DC refrigerator freezer. It's designed for RV, marine and off-road applications. This is going to give you 3.6 cubic feet of refrigerator speed, refrigerator space and 0.6 cubic feet of freezer space.

So there's going to be enough room for essentials on a shorter trip without taking up a huge amount of space. Now, this is sitting a little bit taller for me in our video here than it will for you. As you can see, I do have this on a floor dolly just so I have the flexibility to spin this around and give you a 360 view of all the sides and angles here. One of the biggest features and advantages of this fridge is its heavy duty three-16th stainless steel exterior. This is obviously going to be highly corrosion resistant and well suited for those harsher environments, including marine use.

And it can also continue operating at angles up to 30 degrees. So that's going to be a good fit for those uneven campsites, boats in particular, and off-road travel. So let me pop the door open here, try to give you a view of the inside as best as I can here. So you're going to get two adjustable wire coated shelves, and then you're going to get a tempered glass shelf there at the bottom, and then two Crisper drawers. See right here.

So for the small mini fridge size that this is, I think you've got a lot of usable space inside. On the door, you're going to have some shelving and then the bottom shelf there has this wire restrainer here for those taller items, bottles, things like that. You are going to also get a LED light here, so it's going to shine nice and brightly in there, especially when you're trying to grab a midnight snack and you don't want to disturb anybody. And we got our freezer here, comes with a little mini ice cube tray. So that's enough to hold a few frozen items there and keep them ready to go when you need it.

I could fit a full size bag of usuals in there, I think. So quite a bit of space for what it is. Now the temperature is going to be controlled with a dial that's located behind one of the Crisper drawers there. You can see that black dial there on the bottom all the way in the back. So you're going to be able to get that temperature setting that you're looking for. And this refrigerator uses blown polyurethane foam insulation to help maintain the temperature, while reduce the energy consumption. Now for travel, this door has this high quality stainless steel latch. It's going to give you a positive click and securely close. And that's going to help prevent the door from accidentally opening while you're going down the road or your boat's going back and forth in the waves. I did want to show you a cool feature that Vitrifrigo has on their fridges. I'm going to try to give you an overhead view here. It lines up so you can see. They have a venting feature here. So when you're not using this fridge, you've got it powered off, maybe it's the boats, you got the boat put away for the season or your RV put away for the season and you're not going to need the fridge. You're just going to pull this latch out, as you can see. That's going to allow the door to latch, but it's going to keep it ajar. So that's going to help prevent mold and mildew from getting trapped in there. You're going to have an airflow in there to keep it fresh inside when it's not in use. And so when you're ready to use it for the season, you're not going to have to worry about musty odors and things like that. And then when you're, like I said, ready to power this up and use it, you're just going to slide that back then. It has some catches there that keeps it in place. So you'll slide that back, then that'll allow you to close the door flush. So that's a great feature that Vitrifrigo provides for their fridges. Let me give you some measurements. Looking at the overall height, we're including the flange here. So remember, this is sitting a little bit higher for me. So from the top to where this is going to be sitting, this is going to be right about 31 and five 16 inches tall. The overall width about 23 and one eighth inches wide. And then the overall depth, right at about 21 and three quarters inches deep. This weighs about 66 pounds. Insulation's going to be pretty flexible. The door hinges can be mounted on either side. So you're going to be able to configure it to open left or right. And a sliding mounting flange is going to allow either a flush or recess insulation, although the mounting hardware is not included with this, just so you're aware of that. One important installation detail is ventilation. Even though no exterior vent is required, you do need to leave three inches of clearance on all sides of the fridge and the cabinet where it's installed. It needs to be vented so the heat can exceed properly. So along with the instructions, you'll get some venting grills there to allow airflow around that cabinet that you're going to have this put in. You're also going to get the trim piece here as well for the bottom. Now, overall, this is going to be a great option to consider if this meets the specs that you're looking for, especially if you're looking for a premium mini fridge option.
