12 Volt Refrigerator 12V Car Fridge 16 Quart Portable Refrigerator for Car 12/24V DC 110~240 Volt AC for Truck RV Camper SUV Portable Freezer Electric Cooler for Camping (-4℉-68℉)

Used this for months on my roadtrip. Worked great with no issues. Kept all my food and drinks cold and was nice and compact and easy to use. Uses a decent amount of power but was able to run it off of a smaller power bank without much issue. It is also not too loud at all. Definitely worth the buy.

First the upside: The fridge is super super quiet! Sometimes I have to put my hand on it or take a peek at the temp gauge to see if it’s running! It has a latch that actually catches and holds the lid in place. I am able to fit enough food for a single person for about 4 days (less if I added jars and bottles of condiments) It runs all day (off and on) and seems to manage a + or - temp within 3 degrees of what it’s set for. Full or empty will affect the temp as will longer periods of not opening it, outside air temp, etc The handles on the side are molded into the cooler body so it’s real easy to move when needed and it won’t take up a ton of space when put away. Now the down side: It’s pretty small inside, more so because the lid protrudes down inside by 1/4” and can make it a trick to pack and then close. Now I chose this size so it’s my fault I got a small one, that said a small plastic bottle of milk is too tall, a bottle of BBQ sauce, coffee creamer (small bottle) and so on will stand up inside but then the lid won’t close, so bottles need to be laid down. It generates heat from vents around the compressor on 3 sides… cover one and the unit will overheat. This affects the places you might think this little guy will fit. You have to make sure there is constant airflow around the compressor end of the fridge at all times. In early fall in northern Az I found that inside my van the temp rose considerably and I had to open windows and vents and turn on fans to vent the heat. I now know enough to leave the roof vents open. I’m concerned about next summer. Because this is like the idiots guide to 12v fridges I had to get used to the fact that this comes with no Bluetooth or power settings etc. this is as basic as it gets!! Plug in power up and pick a temp…. The fridge does the rest. Since the fridge has no power settings it just runs to achieve the internal temperature you set, then shuts off- And when it feels like it needs to run again it clicks back on. The idea here is that currently I have it plugged into a battery bank with only 150ah (amp hours) and if I dont recharge back to a 100% charge each day the unit will draw the battery down considerably. After 48hrs with no charge up- this fridge will take the batteries to 60%. This is all based on several factors- the temp I set, how much food is inside, the temp inside the van, and so on. Also currently I only have 200 watts of solar so it seems like charging is all I do, 40% use of power can take 5-6 hours to recharge because I’m charging as the appliance is plugged in- it slows the recharge process. Its not terrible but it is worth keeping an eye on. I’ve since buying the fridge added 300watts more of solar panel and doubled the batteries capacity. No internal light, no baskets, no drain plug. Overall I am thrilled with my new fridge. Its positives outweigh the negatives. I purchased the 16qt version so yeah it’s small but then for the last 16-18months I had no fridge at all…. I should point out that this is a top load fridge so the cold settles at the bottom. That means veggies that are touching the sides or bottom of the fridge will freeze at fridge temperature. Just be careful how you pack things in and you’ll be fine. I got mine on a great sale and picked it up for just over a $100. I added the 3 year warranty because things break. I highly recommend the protection. I will try to remember to do a follow up at one year. Happy shopping to all!!

It is wonderful for the price. The size is great. It cools as fast as it claims it does. I give it four star, because the compressor is a little bit noisy. I’m not sure if this is for this particular one or it’s inherited in the design for all of them. I am going to return it, because I got a better and more quiet unit. But I am paying 50% more. I will definitely recommend it even though it is a little bit noisy. I don’t think you would notice the noise on the road in the ambient noise.

The unit is working properly in both the 12 volt dc and 110 volt ac configurations. The unit literature claims built-in battery protection but I personally would not keep the cooler plugged into the car 12 volt receptacle for an extended period without the car running for fear of car battery draw down. As an older senior citizen, another area of concern is the weight of the unit. One must not forget your lifting a unit with a compressor in it and if filled with water bottles, etc., the unit can be heavy to lift and move. The unit is working fine but unfortunately WAS NOT DELEVERED ON TIME and I had to make my trip the old fashioned way with ice bricks.

This gets cool very quickly, and maintains temp well. Not too heavy, easy to operate. The tie-down points are a very nice touch but could be a little bigger. Nevertheless they work, and unlike our other car-fridge they’re there (our other doesnt have them). As my title says, we avoid the lines and overpriced beverages at the c-stores where we get gas and use the restrooms only (except for any Buc-ees which are definitely worth going inside) and of course no need to purchase ice, or worry about the drainage when it melts. Its quiet, holds enough for some drinks, cold-cuts, fruit etc. for our travels. We have no regrets for this purchase.

UPDATE: This is the Official seller. Legitimately alpicool. And they will 100 percent scam you if you do a return. EVERYTHING was in the box and they denied my return OUTRIGHT claiming "missing accessories." They refused to refund my money after selling me a faulty out of the box refrigerator. Luckily Amazon took care of it. So. BUYER BEWARE VERY loud rattle from the compressor. So I got a faulty unit. Not willing to wait the extra long time for a replacement to ship So I paid more for a larger unit with an LG compressor. Cross your fingers for me lol

The 46Qt one works well, it uses about 30-40watts on my 12.5v outlet on my Delta 2 max. when running, and ran for 3 days straight. It only needs 1/4 of the energy that the Peltier cooler I got from Aldi's uses. I love that I can run it as a fridge or a freezer! it's great to be able to empty the stuff out of my deep freezer into this and let it thaw out. Going to use it next month to go on vacation! Edit- I have since gone on the vacation and it worked perfectly! Only negative is it was a bit tall to reach into while driving. So I just bought the 16Qt one, and now I can have one fridge and one as a freezer! Plan to have the small one as a fridge in the car while traveling so it's easy to have drinks and jelly handy, and then change it to the freezer while camping and have a big fridge and small freezer! The 16Qt will only fit 2 gallon jugs if you squish the top a little bit. The 46Qt will fit 5 just fine!

Great cooler, keeps food cold with little energy barely makes any noise

Il est silencieux car utilisé dans une petite van. Il y a un écart de quelques degrés entre ce qui est demandé et les arrêts/départs.

This cooler looks good but be informed that the temperature fluctuates 9 degrees. There is also no divider inside but slots where a divider could go. Items will fall from ledge into main compartment. If you want to return it you will be required to pay for shipping. I was going to return it because of degree of temperature difference. This cooler was for my brother who would carry medications and food. Due to shipping costs, he will be stuck with it.
