I bougt a fridge from Office Depot ( go to: http://www.officedepot.com/ddSKU.do?level=SK&id=708356&Ntt=retro&uniqueSearchFlag=true&An=text to see it) and it says in the instruction book not to leave it on overnight. Is it that dangerous too? I would think they would be able to make a fridge so that it could stay on overnight. There's no info on the cooling system, but the power rating says 100-125V-60Hz. I really have no idea what this means but can someone tell me if it is dangerous to leave this on for prolonged periods of time????

It says as a precaution in the small pamphlet they consider instrucions: Precatution, Please unplug unit when not in use!!! Not for overnight use!!!
I can't take it back either because it was one of a few free gifts to choose from when purchasing an order in excess of a certian amount.

I notice it includes a DC adapter for car use...possibly the warning is for the DC adapter, since it may drain your car's battery if left plugged in overnight?
Here's a link for the manufacturer; you might consider calling or e-mailing them directly with your question.

I would be curious to know..... Does it say not to leave it on overnight...... or to leave it overnight before turning it on?
You should let appliances (at least this was true a few years ago), sit overnight. This ensures that all of the oil, etc isn't puddled up in the lines, and is in the compressor.
If you really are supposed to turn it off at night, you should probably by one of those timers from Office Depot. They you could set the times, plug the cooler in, and it will cycle automatically.

This is a portable refrigerator. It looks like they made it with short fishing trips and office lunches in mind. They weren't expecting you to use it as a real, constant refrigerator and keep stuff in it 24/7.

I don't know, maybe the refrigerant could freeze the cooling coil due to very low temperatures at night.

shoot, for $60, you could have bought a dorm fridge. Perhaps that includes the car charger(best not to keep plugged in)

that does not make any sense. call an 800 help # & find out if you are understanding correctly, and if you are then take the piece of junk back.

That is too funny. That's funnier than reading instructions in Engrish.

Umm... I doubt very seriously it would hurt. Read the warnings and see if it explains any better.

If you can't leave it on overnight, it's worthless. Take it back.
