  • Great Portable Refrigerator/Freezer
Size: 53 Quart with Cover
This is a great portable refrigerator. We got the large 53 Quart size, and glad we did, we can never have enough stuff when we go camping! We haven't had a need to use the freezer option with this unit so we have just used the entire unit as a refrigerator and it works amazing! We go off roading and camping and this unit straps down in the back of the Jeep and holds on like a champ! We got it with the insulated cover which I think is a necessary item for helping with insulation as well as strapping it down as the cover comes with straps. While traveling, it plugs into the 12V receptacle in your vehicle to keep the fridge running at set temp and it holds perfectly. While camping, we purchased the BougeRV 220Wh Portable Power Station, Backup Battery, Power Supply and also a solar panel, they also work well together to keep this baby running at set temp! Very happy with this portable refrigerator and the value for the money as their are definitely brands out there that can run $800 and more that do exactly the same thing, keep your food and drinks cold. I read a couple of other reviews and noticed a few complaints about the heavy springs in the handles, they must have fixed this issue before we bought ours as we do not have any problems with the handles, they work great! And it's not too heavy, even fully loaded, my hubby and I both grab a handle and team lift it into our lifted Jeep, no problem. By himself might be difficult fully loaded in the lifted Jeep, we don't need any pulled back muscles at our age. Love this fridge!! ... show more

  • I would buy it again
Size: 42 Quart
Works. Chills. Freezes. Quiet. Be aware, the door hinges on the shorter side, so it's a long narrow opening style of cooler. For the 2 compartments, there is only temperature setting. It's a balancing act of keeping the "refrigerator" part chilled but not frozen and the "freezer" part colder to keep stuff frozen not just chilled. Have to remember there's no battery, keep it plugged into something powered like a large power bank (EcoFlow/Jackery, we're looking at you). The spring-loaded handles are great idea, the springs are very strong; I tuck the corded transformer into one handle as a holder. For the size, it's not very heavy, maybe 20 pounds?, easy to carry and load into the vehicle. But this 42Qt is on the small side due to the permanently split compartments, so a larger volume will be much heavier. The feet are small rubber pads, it doesn't really slide. That would be the next improvement. This size cooler when loaded of course will be too heavy to carry, nice to add wheels or an easy way to mount to a hand truck/cart. Bottom line, for the price, form and function, I recommend this. ... show more

  • Outstanding and dependable
Size: 42 Quart
I first purchase the 43qt in sept of 2021. It has been running everday since then. (As of this writing its currently Sept 2025). Ive had no issues and its still running. Ive use it for both annual camping and storing drinks and other items at home. Note, its running in the basement when home, so it does stay in a cooler place. Its temp set at 24 degrees farenheit. I highly recommend and am getting a second for devoted camping and will contiue to use my older one for home. Great choice!!! ... show more

  • Very efficient and quiet
Size: 42 Quart
Good refrigerator that consumes little power. Used for 4 days and 4 nights on a camping trip with daytime highs in the 80’s and nighttime lows in the low 50’s. Always kept in the shade. Jackery 1000 went from 100% to 20% powering fridge. Temperature inside kept at 37 F. Not a true dual zone refrigerator. Temperature set on Eco mode. ... show more

  • A perfect road trip companion--icy cold food and drink while on the go!
Size: 53 Quart
We bought a 19 quart car refrigerator a few years ago, not sure if we'd like it. Turns out that we ended up fighting for space in it. We both have unusual dietary needs, and a desire to save money on longer road trips (we bring our own lunch food with us), so I took to looking for a larger refrigerator. This 53 quart refrigerator fit the bill. There are only a few minor drawbacks. First, I would have preferred it to be a little shorter, as a little extra width or length wouldn't have bothered us. Even in a crossover where I removed the seat, there still was limited room to open the top. It won't even fit into the trunk of our spare car--I have to rig something up to carry it in the back seat, buckling it in sideways so it doesn't move around. Second, there are two compartments inside. I understand why/ how there are two compartments, but one of them is not surrounded by coils and therefore doesn't get as cold. (The space beneath this compartment houses the compressor and fan. So, you're not getting a full 53 quart capacity of uniformly refrigerated space. But we use the space for items that need to be chilled, but not as crucial as things like meat and dairy. On the other hand, it's handy to have that extra pocket where I can toss in a couple sets of silverware just so they're not buried in our other baggage. The third drawback is that the fridge does not have Bluetooth. Our smaller fridge, while nowhere near as well made, does have Bluetooth so I can monitor the temperature, adjust it up or down as needed, or switch from normal to eco mode. It would have been nice to have this. Finally, this refrigerator's eco mode does not cool as well as our older refrigerator. On the older one, it changed the timing of the compressor cycles yet still seemed to hold the temperature well over the course of a day. With the new one, it struggles to get to our set temperature if placed in eco mode. Even after we've chilled it at max mode for a few hours, switching to eco mode makes the temperature drift up over time. However, given our power situation (more on that below), I'm OK with running it in max mode. The power rating seems to be somewhat correct. Eco mode does indeed make the fridge run at about 45 watts of consumption. I didn't see a rating for max mode, but looking at usage on our power station, it seems to consume about 70 watts while in operation. Note that once it is cooled off, the compressor cycles on and off to hold the temperature, so it's not like it's going to pull 70 watts steadily once it is at operating temperature. It claims to consume "far less than 1kwh/day" but I can't really agree with that. I ran a test yesterday with our power station, which can provide 1056wh total, and after several hours it was estimated to run out of power in about 11½ hours. It was a warmer day, but much of it was driving with the AC on, so not too hot inside the car. But despite all that, if this refrigerator is run in max mode, it chills the items really well in the main compartment. A couple of times, I found that a couple of the drinks had started to get ice crystals in them (when the temp was set at 36 degrees), so I know it gets nice and chilly in there! One thing I like, too, is that the handles bolt directly into the frame of the refrigerator, so you can carry this by the handles and not worry about the breaking. (Our smaller fridge has flimsy plastic handles popped into the plastic outer shell. I try to avoid using those.) I did purchase the extra insulated, fitted cover for this fridge, as I wanted to help shield it from intense heat. I never used it without this cover, so I don't know how effective it is. But it fits well, and provides four straps that can be configured to help hold it in place. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BXY5T7G For the old fridge, I used an Anker 521 portable power unit which offers 256wh of capacity. I primarily purchased it so power would remain uninterrupted when the vehicle is switched off (you don't want to rapidly cycle any compressor on or off), and to provide power for an hour or two if stopping somewhere. But I was realizing that if we stopped for 4-5 hours somewhere, or even spent an entire day in one place, it would power the fridge only for about five hours at the most. I've since replaced the 521 with an Anker Solix C1000, which has 1056wh capacity. Given my test yesterday, it can run this refrigerator over 11 hours purely on battery power. Unfortunately the C1000 will only charge at about 110 watts from a 12 volt outlet (which means a net charging input of only 40w when the refrigerator is running), but I'm planning on wiring my next vehicle with a 120V inverter with a 500 watt output so I will be able to recharge it quicker while driving (probably at the 300w or 400w setting, meaning I would get a net charging power of 230w or 330w when the refrigerator is drawing 70w). We still use the old refrigerator for day excursions but this larger refrigerator is good for longer road trips, and for those times we stop at the farm market early in the day and saves us driving a distance home to drop off the food when we have other activities scheduled. Once you've owned one, you wonder how you lived without it! ... show more
