A cheap 230v fridge through a 600w smart inverter will save you some dosh and work well, mine does.

I see smart inverters on ebay, but whats the difference between one & a non smart inverter?

"Smart" or eco mode inverters will sit in a low consumption stand by mode ...
Until something demands mains current (like the fridge compressor starting up )

Just minimises power consumption when not needed .

So I see on ebay a 3000w Smart Inverter, it has a no load current of 0.5Amp, so thats a smart Inverter? thanks

Post a link ....

If its cheap and a none brand ....there's a good chance it's neither smart or 3000w .

Be warned there's a lot of junk out there .

3000/4000/6000/8000W Vehicle Smart Inverter Pure Sine Wave for Vehicle Appliance | eBay

It has a continuous 500 watt output (3000 watt surge capacity). There is a temperature sensor built into the inverter. When the temperature exceeds 45℃, the fan will work automatically. When the temperature exceeds 75°C - 80°C, the inverter will be in protection mode until it cools down.

I'd be amazed if not gobsmacked IF that came anywhere near of its claimed specs I'm afraid .

What would you need to spend for a good one?

I got my 600w soft start for 50 bucks, all depends on how much power you require.

An inverter for a fridge needs to be a pure sinewave one. I have a (bloody expensive) 90l 12v compressor fridge from Thetford on my van and complemented with a 22l fridge/freezer from Amazon like this one: https://amzn.eu/d/7QWyXHp I now have ice cream and other frozen foods I could not store in the main fridge.

I agree with you oh learned one 100%.

Generally speaking we will always ignore any eBay item where the seller has lower than 99% seller rating and this seller doesn't!

Furthermore this seller isn't a specialist and appears to sell an exceptionally wide range of products!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
