$269 at Costco right now.

52 quarts, low voltage cutoff, claims it'll get down to zero. I haven't tested that yet, but I can tell you the compressor is fairly quiet and it took about 45 minutes plugged into wall power in my kitchen for the readout to go from 80f to 34f. Over the next couple of days I'm going to test the low voltage cutoff and verify the temp readout with an analog thermometer. Right off the bat, things it doesn't have that I wish it did include are a travel cover/insulating blanket, and a wire tray/liftout basket for the inside. Other gripes include the relatively tall and narrow build, it'll be hard to get to stuff in the bottom when it's full. But that makes it easier to access while packed in the back of the truck, so... eh? I can rig up a travel cover easily enough with the benchtop thread injector, and I'm sure I can find something to help organize the interior at Target or wherever.
Is it going to be an ARB or Engel? No way, but I haven't had a fridge until now because ARB and Engel are way outside the budget, it's made more financial sense for me to keep playing the ice game. I've been watching prices creep lower on these and biding my time, and this guy, for me, tips the balance. The Costco warranty gives me a little piece of mind, too. So I decided to take a flyer on it, and I'll update this thread after it's spent a couple weekends rattling around the back of my truck.

Thanks for sharing btw, I’ve been trying to justify one for awhile, and between the price and Costco’s return policy this was a no brainer
