Hello John
The Waeco 190 uses the BD50F Danfoss compressor.
Whether the device will increase performance is debatable but...
You can vary the compressor speed.
You get a temperature gauge.
It has a fault indicater LED for when things go wrong.
The thermostat is solid state so no mechanics to wear out.
It will control an auxiliary fan for added cooling.
It may have a better compressor startup regime.

Off the shelf the fridge is wired rather crudely with no fault LED which I consider a must-have in a fridge which can(will) be subjected to rough handling during operation.
In my case.....
The fridge is 12 years old and has endured much in its lifetime.
The compressor is at the end of its life so I will replace it when able.
The problem is I cannot leave it switched on when travelling as it goes into locked rotor status which prevents it from starting.
I have been nursing it along for a while now but have made the decision to replace the compressor.
A fridge failure while camped in the booneys can really spoil your vacation so any gadget to help in controlling a situation is a big help.
In my situation I have installed similar functionality as this gadget albeit in a less elegant fashion.
I would consider it a worthwhile investment........regardless of cost.....
