“First, Force4 was prompt and helpful in delivering the product. Unfortunately, the product and its manufacturer are less than satisfactory. Dometic is the go-to 12v refrigeration system according to most marine and campervan websites: compact and virtually silent fridge-freezer. However, I had my reservations before buying because a) it is very expensive and b) it had poor reviews for its customer service. I'm starting to wish I had acted on my reservations. Having installed the fridge-freezer, we found that the compressor made a very loud constant humming that didn't turn off until we removed the freezer compartment. Fine for now but we will inevitably need a freezer soon. When the compressor is not running, the fridge is silent, yes. However, there is a a huge amount of condensation build-up on the roof which is soaking all the food. The LED light system indicates no issue. True to everyone's word, Dometic' s customer support is near non-existent. They hide behind a contact form on their website, which apparently is read by someone in Sweden, not their Devon UK outlet as implied. I mentioned the issue with the freezer and explained the condensation. The response was a curt, one sentence answer saying without the freezer, the temperature needs to be at its "highest". I assume this means warmest? Followed advice but still dripping pools of water on food. There was no mention of the freezer, nor any contact details should I want to continue the conversation. Frankly, I would not give Dometic the satisfaction of buying their expensive products while they hide behind their distributors, avoiding any responsibility over their products and customers.”
