T&T: 12 or 12/110?

[Robert Hoffman]

This is not a direct answer to the question of 12 & 110 volts, but it
seems that having the flexibility to do both would be good.
However, I do have a question about the NovaKool products.  I am
about to make a decision on the 4th(!!) refrigerator for my Ocean
Alexander 486.  The first two were Norco 12/110 volt that lasted
about 3 years each.  I swore that never again so I bought an Avanti
that I saw at the Miami boat show on a Ocean.  Only 110 volt but  I
have a great inverter installed now.  It lasted 2.5 years and
stopped.  My logic on this was it was cheaper by 1/3 over the Norco
so 3 replacements would be even.  However it has never been cool
enough to keep ice-cream.  A must on my boat!!
The NovaKool looks good on paper but is more money than the new
Norco.  I will use the advice of the list to install fans to help
circulate on any new new refrigerator/freezer.  My other choice that
will fit in the cabinet is a Haier but it looks very cheap.
Anyone have experiance with NovaKool?
