EcoFlow Glacier fridge longevity??

[K David K]

We just picked up one of these EcoFlow Glacier fridges. Can this be left plugged in and always on or will this shorten the fridge? Not sure if these portable fridges are designed for long term use always on or not.

I have a 50qt Whitner and a 20qt (don't remember the name). The big one is close to 10 years old and the other is about 5. They need to be run occasionally to keep the seals from drying out. My 50qt will sometimes be left on for months, The smaller one about once a month when I'm off-roading. I've met people who leave them on all the time without issue.

If its made with quality parts, you should get quite a few years out of it. There's a bunch of off brands being sold but I haven't seen anyone do a "after3 years" review. I've only seen the big name brands.

Good to know. I wonder what are the weak points of these things. EcoFlow is supposed to be good stuff, we'll find out!
