Here are some of the positive things that the Product Review users had to say about the RC1180:

• Purchased my RC1180 second hand 10 years ago.  Never had a problem, good sturdy and can take a knock. 
• Easy to use.
• Great cooling & freezing capacity.
• Built to last - 15 years and going strong.
• Doubles as extra overflow freezer at home on 240v
• Able to stay in one place without having to worry about batteries, 1x 4.5kg bottle lasts exactly 10 days.
• Works great as a fridge & seat!
• Can enjoy ice-cream while camping!
• No hassles with batteries or solar panels!

Here are a few of the negative things that users had to say about the RC1180:

• Needs to be as level as possible to work properly.
• Wont work in the car when travelling (very well)
• To operate on 12v you need extra heavy duty wiring. 
• Uses a lot of power on 12v.  Do not forget to swap to gas when you get to camp!  Your battery will be flat in no time!
• 12v is not worth using.
• Heavy & Hard to lift when fully loaded.
• No internal basket.
• Carry handles could be better.  Awkward to carry for longer distances with current handles.
