It's probably a conventional "dormitory" fridge with a compressor.

He's talking about those cheap coolers with no moving parts. They use
a "Peltier" device which is an electronic component that gets really
hot on one side, and really cold on the other side when electrical
current is passed through it.


The one I have is a Haier ($49@Target) 2 fans, 2 Peltiers,
thermostat,white LED interior light,1.7cf.
