Dometic CoolFreeze CDF 36 Portable Electric Compressor Coolbox/Freezer, 31 Litre, 12/24V for Car, Truck or Boat with Battery Monitor, Grey

I ordered this as an alternative to the 3-way fridge fitted into my campervan which normally runs on butane or propane while camping (I don't use sites or EHU). However, the 3.9kg bottles are very uneconomic to run and this size of bottle can be harder to source in some areas. This CDF 16 compressor coolbox is vastly superior. It uses 8-12Ah per 24 hours in real world use maintaining an internal temperature of 1-2°C in an ambient daytime temperature of 18°C. At night when the temperature falls to about 12°C it only kicks in once or twice to run quietly for 7-10 minutes. Standing it on a rubber mat, or even sheets of kitchen roll, reduce any vibration from the already-low running noise and keep it low enough to sleep through even in a car-conversion micro-campervan. It cools rapidly and during the 2018 heatwave dropped from an internal temperature of 28°C to -4°C in 30 minutes/12 miles which the 3-way fridge could never hope to match and would normally take an overnight on EHU to reach freezing point. Performance simply cannot be beaten and it will run for 3 days old a 5-year old 125Ah battery which is long past its best. On a new battery it may last longer. Although I use it mostly as a fridge, it will also function as a freezer and reach -18°C. However, in warmer temperatures, the compressor runs frequently and is in greater danger of depleting a leisure battery so either two batteries would be needed for more than 24 hours use, or supplement with a solar panel. Via a transformer (not supplied) it will also operate from a mains 240V power supply. Two 1-litre bottles can be stood upright with sufficient capacity to carry cold meats, chocolate and other camping essentials for a week and the smaller compartment is ideal for carrying punnets of strawberries. My only niggles are that the LED temperature readout isn't fully accurate so I use a Salter fridge/freezer thermometer inside. The shape is also awkward to secure in a car or van: in the absence of any loops or mouldings and with its curved top which is raised in the centre, it is difficult to strap it into place. I used two ratchet straps across the top held together via a Velcro strap to ensure they don't slip down the ends. However, these niggles are minor and cannot detract from its very worthy 5-star rating. Excellent.

Bought five years ago for use on road trips. Fridge is still going strong despite infrequent use. It’s quiet and keeps its cool. Only remarks 1) the fridge requires switching to “low voltage” mode on the mains since most 12v chargers don’t give out enough voltage. 2) we once had issue that fridge not getting cold. We were able to “restore” by keeping plugged in for 24 hours we suspect the coolant. Overall it’s been a great investment, we don’t use as much as could eg for weekly shops, because the fridge is necessarily bulky. The fridge maintains down to -16c which is great advantage over cool boxes and cool bags, why we bought it really. We also bought a mains adaptor and leads to connect directly to a spare car battery. Overall an investment but made car trips and picnics so much more pleasant.

Fantastic item, inaudible in the home or in the car, from delivery this was able to get to -18°C in less than one hour, and was at -10°C in half an hour (from +14°C). Plenty large enough for a family outing and is a complete contrast to the 'electric coolers' you buy from most high street retailers. An expensive item and we probably wouldn't have purchased had it not been so heavily discounted. Runs off a stand alone power pack for hours without having to drain your car battery ( which it wouldn't do in a day anyway).

This is a wonderful fridge, way better than a camping cooler box. Admittedly, it took some convincing that this is worth the ridiculous cost. It's a game changer when camping in France for example. It means that you can safely keep food at fridge temperatures even on the hottest days. It worked well even during a heatwave when temperatures reached 45C. In comparison, the Peltier cooler box failed dismally: not surprisingly as it only maintains a temperature at about 15C below ambient. So this fridge means no more daily trips to the supermarket and no problems when they're shut on Sundays and holidays. The 21 litre capacity looks small but we managed with a family of 4. Plenty of room for the all important wine and beers! It draws about 4.5A at 12V but once it reaches temperature it draws virtually nothing. Left alone it then switches on for about 1/3 or 1/2 the time. It's important to remember that there's only 50W of cooling so it needs to be treated with consideration and given undisturbed time to do its thing. It cools well but I've had to set it to 0C (and it really does freeze at the bottom). I don't know where its thermometer is but it reads 0C when the main body is at 5C or more. That's to be expected I suppose as the cooling is at the bottom and there's no forced circulation. The top shelf is typically at 12C. It works very well from the car electrics. The 3 level battery protection is excellent. I set it to high, so that it's only runs when the engine's running. I had problems running it off the mains via a 12V converter. It kept switching off in France even though it worked OK in the uk. Just switched off and sulks. Tried a different PSU with the same effect. Reconnecting got some life but then would switch off again. Maybe the French camp mains is a bit low? Decided to return to Amazon, it's too much to pay for the risk of the fault getting worse. After further research I think I know what the problem is. Both my mains adaptors are rated at 6A, easily enough to supply the 4.5A required by this fridge one would think. But these are un-stabalised supplies and its voltage fall from 13.8V no-load to 12V at the fridge current. This must have triggered the battery protection system when the local mains supply voltage is a bit low in the campsite. So if you're powering of a mains PSU, I recommend getting a more powerful one (possibly the 10A one in Amazon but I haven't tested this). A stabilised PSU is not a solution either for me, unless it supples 13.5V to match the car voltage. The only other irritation is that the lid hinges away from the front, making it awkward in the boot. The solution is to turn it the wrong way round but the controls are then out of reach. Also the lid comes off and is difficult to reconnect in the tight boot. It's quiet enough when running, acceptable in the tent for example. I'm going to replace the one I returned but I'm waiting for Amazon to stock the newer version CF26 model, which has its own mains converter.

I bought this fridge for my van/camper conversion after a lot of research about the best type of 12v fridge for van life. After almost a year this fridge has not let us down! I have spoken to other van lifers on my travels who opted for an ordinary 12v fridge rather than the compressor version and really regretted it. We don't get huge amounts of sun for solar energy in the UK so this compressor fridge is perfect at doing its job and saving energy. I can run this fridge, lights, and laptop and phone chargers with 200W of solar no problem. If you are considering buying a fridge for van life/campervan touring do not skimp out and go for the cheaper option as tempting as it may seem! Also a little side note, it fits perfectly into a 60x40cm Ikea kitchen cabinet :-)

This is a super little proper fridge! It’s often overlooked by its own company, and by outdoor retailers because they don’t think it’s big enough, but we find it to be just perfect in size, ideal for full bottles of champagne etc, not many with this volume have the right shape and depth! Handle is great and just looks right, it’s not noticed taken to a hotel for instance, just looks like a cool box but has real power to make your stay more enjoyable! Needs to be updated though, with a light inside, which it was advertised with, but didn’t have, like most do now! And it needs a digital temp gauge, instead of just a knob to control it! Apart from those minor things it’s excellent, some different colours would be nice too! Instead of dreary grey.

Love my fridge, perfect low energy usage companion for my campervan! Keeps things really cold and is decent in storage size for a few days of key fridge items for me and my partner. I’d say it’s well worth the price and value! And is easy to transport in and out of the van when I’m not using it.

Worked great for just over a year. Now the compressor no longer works so no cooling takes place. These fridges are very expensive and I expected it to last me a lot more than 17 months.

Ich habe die Kühlbox gekauft, weil die thermoelektrischen Kühlboxen mit Peltier-Element im Auto praktisch nicht nutzbar sind. Die Leistung ist einfach zu gering. Einen Fleischsalat mit Mayonnaise würde ich aus solch einer Kühlbox nicht essen wollen. Ich habe lange nach einer Box gesucht, die nicht zu groß und nicht zu klein ist. Der Preis spielte eine untergeordnete Rolle. Wobei der Preis dieser Box im Vergleich zu anderen Boxen noch human ist. Ich habe die Box erst seit ein paar Tagen im Einsatz, aber soviel kann ich schon sagen: Ich bin begeistert. Die Kühlbox kühlt bei 22 Grad Celsius Raumtemperatur Wasserflaschen mit selber Temperatur in ca. 1 bis 2 Stunden vollständig auf 5 Grad herunter. Die Leistung ist also im Vergleich zu thermoelektrischen Kühlboxen hervorragend und um Welten besser. Der Kompressor ist selbst kaum hörbar. Ich wollte es erst gar nicht glauben, ich dachte erst, die Box sei defekt. Aber der Kompressor ist so leise, wie man es von einem normalen Kühlschrank auch kennt. Allerdings schaltet sich hin und wieder mal ein Lüfter ein. Dieser wurde nicht sehr großvolumig verbaut und hätte hier weniger Drehzahl benötigt, sondern der Lüfter ist sehr klein und dreht dann entsprechend schnell. Etwa vergleichbar mit einem Notebook, welches auf Hochleistung fährt. Nicht schlimm, aber dann durchaus hörbar. Aber auch hier wieder möchte ich den Vergleich zur thermoelektrischen Kühlbox anstreben. Denn meine alte 08/15-Kühlbox hatte oben im Deckel ebenfalls einen Lüfter. Dieser drehte etwas mit der gleichen "nervigen" Drehzahl. Aber dies tat er immer. Bei den thermoelektrischen Kühlboxen ist es ja bekanntlich so, dass diese immer arbeiten müssen, um wenigsten ein wenig Kühlung zu erreichen. Beim Verbrauch hier ebenfalls nur Vorteile. Meine alte thermoelektrische Kühlbox hatte einen Verbrauch von ca. 60 Watt und lief praktisch pausenlos. Die WAECO CDF 26 hat einen Verbrauch von 35 Watt und läuft nur gelegentlich; zumindest bei Raumtemperatur. Unterm Strich gehe ich davon aus, dass im Vergleich die neue Kühlbox zu meiner alten höchstens 25 % verbrauchen wird, und das bei gesicherter Kühltemperatur. Die Autobatterie im Stand wird es also danken. Bei dieser Box traue ich mich durchaus, auch mal ein paar Stunden länger das Auto mit der Box alleine zu lassen. Zumal meine im Kofferraum befindliche Steckdose abgesichert ist gegen Tiefentladung der Batterie und die Box selber auch einen Batteriewächter hat. Also wenig Sorgen in dieser Richtung. Zum Gewicht: Ich habe ein Kind welches derzeit 16 Kilo wiegt und viel getragen werden will ;-). Diese Box wiegt leer 13 Kilo, also wer Kinder hat, der kommt auch mit dieser Box zurecht. Allerdings eignet sich diese Box nicht dazu, wie meine alte, die Box samt Lebensmittel zu transportieren. Man kann die Lebensmittel im Auto also sorgenfrei dort einräumen und ausräumen, aber nicht in der Box herumtragen. Tragen lässt sich die Box leer trotzdem recht gut. Die Griffmulden hätten zwar tiefer sein können, aber für den kurzzeitigen Transport völlig ausreichend. Zum Inhalt. Ich habe 8 Flaschen Wasser je 0,5 Liter und 8 Äpfel hinein bekommen. Und zwar locker gestapelt. Da geht sicher noch mehr, wenn man sich Mühe gibt. Das ist nicht so viel wie bei meiner alten Kühlbox, aber immer noch genug, um mal ein paar empfindliche Lebensmittel mit dem Auto transportieren zu können. Der Vorteil ist eben nicht der Rauminhalt, sondern die gesicherte Kühlung bis in den Tiefkühlbereich. Der Deckel schließt bei meiner Box problemlos, sofern man diesen nicht einfach nach unten drückt sondern zum Schließen auch noch zusätzlich auf das "WAECO"-Zeichen vorne drückt, damit der Schließer richtig einrastet. Das LED-Licht im Inneren könnte etwas heller sein. Aber wenn es außen richtig dunkel ist, reicht das Licht aus, um alles zu erkennen. Mehr auch nicht. Nett finde ich, dass wenn man die Box ausschaltet, die Innenbeleuchtung noch immer funktioniert. Sehr gut, denn dann muss man beim Ein- oder Ausräumen der Box, wenn diese gerade manuell ausgeschaltet ist, nicht zur Taschenlampe greifen oder diese kurzfristig einschalten, was wiederum den Kompressor in Gang setzten würde. Die Box wirkt hochwertig verarbeitet. Ob dies allerdings auch auf die Elektronik und den Kompressor zutrifft, kann ich nicht beurteilen. Ich werde die Box nun in der Praxis testen, und falls sich hier negative Dinge aufzeigen, dann werde ich ein Update nachliefern. Und hier noch ein paar Fotos, wie sich die Box in einem Skoda Octavia BJ 2012 im Kofferraum zeigt. Ich finde, einfach nur perfekt, wie für den Skoda gemacht.

Me encanta tener las bebidas fresca en el camión. La compre hace cerca de un año y la tengo en el camión, si es cierto que esta nevera esta pensada para nosotros los camioneros ya que de echo somos los que la usamos todo el año sin descanso. Para quien no lo sepa esta nevera es wabco , pero la han comprado y cambiado el nombre. Hoy por hoy es la mejor nevera portátil con compresor y e ahí su precio. Solo decir que esta pensada para 24 Voltios aunque funcione bien a 12, la única diferencia es que a 24 la enchufas y te olvidas y a 12 tienes que tener cuidado si no te quieres quedar sin batería, aunque si es cierto que esta generación de neveras gasta mucho menos que las de antes. Calienta, enfría y congela. aunque yo solo la uso de refrigerador a 9 grados, pero la he probado dentro de su rango y va perfecta. Este modelo sirve para tener un par de botellas de litro y medio frias o usarla para latas de cervezas, cocacola, etc. es muy cómoda de transportar, pero para camioneros de ruta no sirve porque es muy chica. Solo decir que cada día estoy mas contento de tenerla y de echo los fines de semana me la llevo a mi casa para no llevarme sorpresa por lo golosa que es.

Incredibilmente demodè rispetto agli attuali frigoriferi portatili a compressore dotati di display e app. Ma resta quanto di meglio si possa trovare in giro con queste dimensioni. Refrigera fino a -18c con grande velocità, consuma pochissimo ed è un vero mostro di efficienza. Chiunque lo veda, mi chiede informazioni e rimane sbalordito dalle prestazioni. Lo spazio all'interno è distribuito in maniera intelligente e la griglia è molto utile. Funziona bene anche il sistema salvabatteria. App o non app, lo ricomprerei in tempo reale. Un vero freezer con un vero compressore di altissimo livello. Non fatevi abbagliare dai fronzoli dei concorrenti, questo è un frigo tutta sostanza e probabilmente indistruttibile.
