A very good unit, assembly is quick... however, only the height of the unit itself is specified. Be aware that you need an additional 30mm of height for mounting the Click On bracket, namely the height of the bracket's locating pins. A word about the bracket itself: good idea, poorly executed... you need three hands to release it, as each side of the locking mechanism has to be unlocked individually. If you also have limited vertical space, this is a fiddly task. I connected both release mechanisms with a thin string about 20cm long, so I can unlock both simultaneously with one hand. Otherwise, it's a great device, especially surprisingly quiet. I use it to cool a 130L freezer and, in addition, a 220L refrigerator using a DIN A4-sized heat sink (a stainless steel box, half-filled with distilled water and with cooling fins welded to both sides), which sits between the refrigerator and freezer compartments and protrudes about 1cm into both. Freezer compartment -19°C, refrigerator compartment 6.5°C. The boxes are made from A4 paper and encased all around in 10cm thick Styrodur (exterior basement wall insulation). Once cooled down (approx. 7 hours), I then have a duty cycle of about 50%, which equates to roughly 80A per day. That's low compared to the cooling capacity. Highly recommended!
