[QUOTE="Simmo, post: 628437, member: 4105"] Mate I can see what you are saying but are you mixing the two inverters up?? An inverter fridge uses a variable speed compressor, that somewhat runs at varying speeds to accommodate the set temperature. As opposed to a conventional compressor that over its temperature thermostat range, simply 'thumps' on and off. A 12v DC to 240 VAC voltage inverter, generally, are hugely inefficient. So are the benefits of an inverter compressor used with a voltage inverter largely lost? I haven't researched if there is a 12v DC inverter compressor fridge..... there would be massive energy savings there eh?! [/QUOTE]
