LF portable refrigerator suggestions

As the title indicates, I am looking to buy a portable refrigerator or a powered cooler.
My specific questions are,
1. What brand did you choose and why?
2. How much use has it had, how has it held up?
3. I am seeing alot that have dual zones for a freezer section as well as a refrigerator, is that as useful as it seems or a sales gimmick?
4. Please include those "aha" thoughts that occurred after you started using yours.

I am planning to use this in my cargo trailer camper conversion unit this fall and wondering about food storage so thus the question.
 
Dometic makes a really nice cooler, I personally don't have one but I have heard really good things about them.
 
My BIL has a Dometic that came with a camper. We used it for 7 days hunting out west. Awesome piece of gear. His is connected to the camper, which pulls power off solar. The freezer compartment is actually a freezer, not just an extra cold cooler, but we didn't use it as a freezer. For being off grid and over an hour to the nearest gas station, it was irreplaceable. We kept all food in that one, and then had a couple of yetis packed to the gills with just ice for when we got some meat. You gain a lot of space not needing to pack it with ice like a traditional cooler, and your food stays dry. They're damn expensive though.

I have an Iceco fridge on a tilting slide, no regrets in this set up. Blue tooth to phone for easy management. This model is either a freezer or fridge depending on temp setting.

The price is one of the reasons I'm looking for feedback. Dometic is on the high side for price, I'm just wondering if that is a spot where the name is worth the price or if they were just first.
