Features

  • Keep Ice Cream FrozenWith a powerful compressor, the 12 volt refrigerator with an empty box can cool down to 32F within 20 minutes and reach the lowest -8F about an hour. You can get a refrigerator or freezer by adjusting the temperature. The portable refrigerator for car has two cooling modes, including MAX(fast cooling) and ECO(energy saving). There is no need to buy ice, and you can keep ice cream frozen and store fresh food like cheese, drinks, vegetables, muffins, and snacks.
  • Proven Magnetic DoorCompared with the lid that needs to be pressed, the magnetic door of the F40C4TMP 12 volt portable freezer has better sealing performance and durability. There is no need to worry about the leakage of cold air caused by the door not being closed tightly, which helps reduce energy consumption.
  • Consumes 1 kWh Per DayThe rated power of the 12V truck refrigerator in MAX mode is 45W, which consumes less than 1kWh per day. H/M/L three-level battery protection prevents a dead starter battery, giving you valuable peace of mind while cooling for long periods. The LCD display panel can help you set the temperature in a dimly lit environment. You can also charge your phone when needed with the USB charging port.
  • Good Choice For CampingCapacity: 20 Quart(18L); External dimensions: 22.6*12.6*11.3 Inches. This 20-qt portable fridge freezer will fit snugly in your trunk, behind a car seat, or in the bed of a truck. You can take a 12V compressor freezer to any outdoor activity without worrying about bumpy roads or inclines. The car refrigerator is perfect for cars, RVs, campsites, boats, camping, road trips, and home use..
  • What You GetYou will receive 1 * F40C4TMP portable refrigerator freezer, 1 * AC adapter(6 ft), 1 * DC power cord(11 ft), 1 * user guide, and 24 months of product support.

  • works well for its size, very pleased
Size: 20 Quart
I am over all very satisfied with this cooler. Its compressor is small of course so it doesn't cool super fast, but it is reasonably quick for its size, which also makes it very portable. The digital thermometer/thermostat is quite accurate and can even be set to cool below freezing so be careful unless you don't mind your drinks being frozen. It cannot be set quite cold enough for ice cream, though, which requires temperatures a ways below freezing to stay solid, so be aware. (Some ice cream does okay at its lowest -8F setting, but not all.) But it works excellently to keep food and beverages nice and cold. Its 20-quart capacity is on the smaller end which again makes it nice and portable, but still easily holds 2x 2-liter soda bottles with a bit of room to spare, and there are larger models for those who need more storage space. The compressor is actually much more quiet than I expected, though of course it still makes a bit of noise it is hardly noticeable. Overall an excellent product and highly recommended. ... show more

  • Fantastic travel cooler
Size: 30 Quart
June 30, 2023 Update. I've had this camping on several 2-5 day trips and several grocery runs. Works great. 2nd power source purchased seperately that I mention below in this review was a must have for non-electric camp site or parking with the cooler in the vehicle on grocery runs. Get at least a 300Watt hour portable power supply to run the cooler on DC when the vehicle isn't supplying power. And pay extra for a fast-charging power supply. The cheaper power supply I mention below that takes 8 hours to recharge is a major pain for primitive camping. I had to keep my hybrid RAV4 running most of the next day to recharge it via the vehicle's DC aux port. It kept stuff cold although the temperature CAN vary about +7 degrees higher than the setting. For context, my low-end, Elecrolux, home kitchen full-sized refrigerator varies this much also. Some high-end home kitchen fridges (Samsung?) vary a little less but still vary. But for this cooler, temperature variablilty is weird, and not consistent. I had thought it was due to the placement of the secondary thermostat I was using. Or the addition of warm items placed into the cooler. But then I discovered THIS unexplainable mystery and have been able to repeat it many times. Let's say I set it at 33. It reaches that 33 temperature and reads that on both thermostats and shuts off the compressor. Without putting any more items in/out of the cooler, keeping the lid closed, not moving it from my house, and with it full of water bottles, the readout temp on the cooler keeps saying 33. But my own, seperately purchased, internal thermometer over the course of the next 2-5 hours after the compressor goes off reads as high as 40. THEN, I disconnect the power to the cooler for a few seconds, plug it back in...and magically the readout on the cooler then matches my internal thermometer and reads 40 and the compressor starts to cool it back down to 33. Drives me nuts, can't figure out why. If I don't reset it, it eventually starts the compressor and cools to about 35 and then stays in the range of 35-40 when the cooler is set at 33. However, occasionally it will cool it down to 33 without resetting/unplugging it. I can achieve the same results of "resetting" it without unplugging it by changing the cooler's temperature in the settings menu. Any change of the temperature or unplugging/re-plugging somehow tells the software to "poll" the thermostat for an up-to-date reading. It's almost as if the software tells it to only poll the temperture of the cooler thermostat at certain intervals of perhaps every hour or so. Or maybe the software allows this temperature varibility to reduce start/stop cycles on the compressor?? All of this as described above was done with the compressor in max cooling mode, not eco. In any event, it's acceptable and not really an issue. The temperature variability is comparable to my lower-end, full-sized, kitchen fridge. So I'm good with it. Still thrilled with the cooler and recommend buying it. May 25 2023 Update. Took this cooler camping last 3 days. Put it on eco on DC power. Left my own thermometer in there. Had it set to 33F. My own thermometer said middle of stuff got to 41F with constant DC power supply. Outside temps 45-75F. Not good. Temp too high for meat. Set it to max hoping for less variability. Left in vehicle i shade. Will report back. History: I used to have a Thermoelectric AC/DC Coleman 40 Qrt cooler for about 15 years. It finally died. I also had a traditional non-electric aproximately 45 Qrt cooler and some smaller traditional coolers needing ice. I used these for camping, road trips, day trips, hotel trips and so on. I really liked the idea of loading up drinks and food to take camping to either electric sites or primitive sites and using my car battery or a $100 Walmart portable power station (that also recently died) at the primitive sites to keep the cooler cold. I would also take the electric cooler up to a hotel room and plug it into 110v outlet all night. The problem is the Thermoelectric cooler only cools 40 degrees colder than the ambient temperature. This means in a hot car or tent at 90 degrees, the contents of the cooler are going to be 50. Not ideal for meats and such. Furthermore, the cooler only worked with the car on. I've owned Toyota hybrids for the last 10 years which cycles the engine on/off when I'm nearby. This worked pretty well in primitive campsites but not ideal. Parking to go on a hike and leaving the car off in the direct sun without the cooler running would drastically increase the interior cooler temperature. I couldn't leave the cooler running because 1) It would drain my car starter battery in a matter of 3-4 hours and 2) my vehicles shut the auxilary cigarrete lighter power off when the car is shut off. Of course, using a traditional cooler with ice works but comes with the problems everyone know such as soggy food, reduced food space taken up by the ice, obscured food because of the ice, the cost of ice, and the inconvenience of running somewhere to pick up the ice. Despite all those challenges, I made it work for years. So when it came time to replace my electric cooler, I wanted to upgrade. I researched on Amazon and discovered electric 12V travel coolers are expensive ($300-1500). I settled on this cheaper-end model. You're basically paying for dependability, longevity, and minimal power draw on the higer end models. For an occassional road warrior like me, I just need something cheaper. And if it dies in 3 years, I'm ok with that. This one comes with a 2 year warranty. I bought this 30 Qrt unit and glad I sprung for this size rather than the 20 Qrt. I paid about $50 more for the extra 10 Qrts but it was on sale for about $250 including taxes. This thing is amazing. I expecially like how you can specify the exact temperature you want. I also like that it shuts off before it drains your battery. I bought a small Hotfish brand 296Wh backup lithium ion portable power station off Amazon for $100 on sale. My thought is I won't have to run my vehicle to keep it cool. I can keep both the cooler and the power station together in the car or tent and it'll keep running. It looks like the power station will run my cooler for probably 2+ days in my house. Of course this run-time would decline significantly in a hot vehicle. I'm still testing but from the looks of it, in my house at 68F degrees, I have the cooler set to 33F. It's full of water bottles. I have a seperate thermometer inside the cooler. It stays within a degree or two of the specified temperature on both my independent thermometer and the readout on the cooler itself. I'm not sure why many reviewers say it's off 5-10 degrees. Or they say the temperature varies 5-10 degrees. Mine is neither. It stays precisely at 1F +/- from the set temperature with the water bottles in it. When it was empty and initially cooled after about 1 hour, it would fluctuate 3-8F (compresser on/off) and was about 2-5 degrees off difference with my own thermometer placed in the bottom middle. What I noticed influenced this was the placement of my own thermometer, whether the contents were hot/cold (obviously), and how long it had been running to equalize the temperature among all the contents including the exterior walls of the cooler. It took all day to cool down 15 room-temperature water bottles but after they were cooled, it stayed very consistent with the temperature--both on the readout on the unit, and my own electronic thermostat. It's unclear where the internal thermometer is placed in the unit but obviously something warm placed near that would mislead any analysis. I assume the thermometer is near the top behind the plastic wall somewhere and away from the cooling coils running around the perimeter. When on eco mode and in my 68F house with water bottles chilled to 33F, it draws about 33-34 watts when running. In max cool, it draws 43-45 watts. These numbers are coming from my power station display. But it only runs for maybe 10-15 minutes every hour. At this rate, my portable power supply barely has a drain and could likely last a couple days. One thing to think about when pairing this up with a portable power supply, you're probably fine with a 250-300 Wh battery. This would last 8-24 hours assuming 60-80F weather and opening/closing the cooler and adding warm cans/soda/beer. If you need it to last longer, spring for a more expensive 300-600Wh but each 100Wh will cost you roughly another $100. At around 250-300Wh, Lithium Ion is cheaper ($100-150) than a LiFePO4 battery type ($200-300/device) and lighter but takes longer to charge (8 hours) and doesn't like the heat (hot car or tent). So, if you're camping for several days on a primitive site with no electric, you'll need to figure out a way to recharge. I plan on using my vehicle's DC aux port or a cheap 120V 300-400W inverter hooked to my car to recharge it. I don't want to run my vehicle for 8 hours to recharge the pack. So I also purchased a $200 (on sale) Ecoflow River 2, 256Wh LiFePO4 portable battery with 1 hour fast charging. Compared with the Hotfish brand 296Wh, this Ecoflow lasts longer (3000 charge cycles vs 500), charges faster (1 hour vs 8 hours), tolerates ambient heat better but is twice the cost ($200 vs $100). So my advice is to either pay to get a higher capacity battery like 400-600Wh per unit and pay about $400-500. Or, just get two cheaper ones like I'm doing for $200-300 combined total for around 250-300Wh per unit. Or be happy with 1. But watch out for the really long 8 hour charging speed of the cheaper units. After 8 hours in my 68F kitchen hooked up on eco to my power supply with pre-chilled 33F 15 water bottles and opening lid a handful of times, the readout on my Hotfish 296Wh power supply still shows 5 out of 5 bars. I am supper impressed with this minimal power draw. I plan on using the slower charging power supply for my CPAP machine which only used up 1/5 of the charge all night. I'll use the faster charging one for day trips to the grocery and camping with the cooler. My plan is to run them in "pass-through" mode where the portable charger is plugged into my DC aux cigarette lighter and the cooler is plugged into the DC port of the portable charger. When the car is running, it'll charge the battery while passing through power to the cooler. When I shut the car off, the cooler will draw from the portable charger. Starting the car again reverts back to charging the battery and passing through to the cooler. This is perfect and exactly what I'm looking for. Say I go to the grocery and buy frozen items, I don't have to rush home. I can even leave it in a hot car for several hours. What's even better is that the cooler settings are retained even with the power off. So the temperature settings on the cooler stays the same when power comes back on. Both devices can be left alone in the rear of my RAV4 Hybrid without messing with it. Initially, I plan to take my separately purchased (for a different use case), remote thermostat which has two devices. I'll place the sensor inside the cooler and the readout up front in the cab on long road trips to monitor the temperature. Or of course I could just periodically look at the display readout on the cooler since I'm convinced it's pretty accurate based on the testing I've done. Lastly, the controls are amazing on this. It displays the set temperature as well as the inside temperature. It has max and eco cooling where as best as I can tell, it just runs longer on eco at a lower watt draw than on max. This is helpful because each time it starts the compressor, it has a higher draw. fewer starts = lower watt draw. I observed it pulling 45 watts initially when kicking in on the compressor in eco mode and winding down to 33 watts over about 20 seconds. On max mode, maybe it would pull 55 watts initially and ramp down to 45? I didn't test this but others alluded to this in their reviews. Also, it's got this battery protection so it won't ruin your car starter battery and leave you needed a jump. I won't use this cause my newer vehicle shuts off the aux power when the car is off. But it will be handy so that it doesn't deplete the battery on my portable power station. Deep draw down's on any battery are not good although Lithium batteries in the power station can handle this much better than lead acid car batteries. And I think the portable power station would shut off power before it was completedly drained to the point of hurting it. So lots of battery protection all the way around. Also, I've read this shouldn't be left out in the rain or hosed off. The electronic display and the compressor electronics probably wouldn't like the water. The sidewalls are 1.5" thick. It's not as thick as Yeti's. For reference, a 35Qrt Yeti on Amazon is running $275. Why get that when for a little less money, you could get this electric cooler. Another consideration, the handles are indented. And like others have mentioned, they're not that deep. It's not an issue for me but if you have weak hands it may be. And forget about two people each trying to carry one side. There is also no wheels or handle. You'll pay more for that. If that's real important, consider getting a collapsible wagon instead. Cause most of the units I saw have very small wheels and all that adds weight, $ and heft you may not want when packed into your vehicle. Summary: Buy this one on sale and enjoy. ... show more

  • Great value!
Size: 30 Quart
I currently own a Large Dometic fridge and needed a smaller one that would fit into my car. I tried another brand that was the same size as this. It was double the price and it was so slow to cool and was so inaccurate with so many problems. I bought this little guy on a lighting deal because I said I will try it at that price. The build quality is better than the other midgrade brand. It started right up and cooled down as fast as my Dometic. It does not have all the bells and whistles ( Bluettooth, Automatic AC/DC switching) like the other mid grade brand and the dometic but for the price it can't be beat. I have been running it for a week now non stop. It works so good. Let's hope it lasts and if it doesn't let's hope their customer service is as good as the other brands. ... show more

  • Great fridge: my testing results
Size: 20 Quart
I got this, planning to use it while camping, in conjunction with a solar panel and a 160Wh battery. Since I'm going to be relying on it off the grid, I have been doing a bunch of testing to make sure that it will serve my needs. I have been testing it as a freezer only -- its performance as a refrigerator will certainly be different (and better!) First, a little nitpicky thing: the rubber seal over the USB port is completely inadequate. It doesn't seal (or even completely seat) at all. Because I don't want to risk debris or liquids getting into the port, I've just taped over the entire thing (I don't need to use it). This can easily keep things frozen -- but it's not great at freezing things that aren't! When trying to freeze a large freezer pack, it managed to get the pack down to about 3C without trouble, but below that, it starts to take a very, very long time (days). It is best used as a long-term sort of freezer: if you take something out of it and it warms up too much, you're much better off not putting it back in. I am able to get it down to -21C. The temperature readout indicates a lower temperature than it actually reaches, by about 5C. I haven't yet tested how long it can keep temperature when it's not being powered, but it seems like it will reasonably well -- I think it's a little worse than a good cooler on this count. I think that if you get the thermal cover to go with it, it will probably outperform a good cooler. That's just my expectation. I haven't tested it. I tested how long I can run it on the battery I'm using, with it set to -21C and to -10C (using a 160Wh battery, discharging it down to 10%), and with nothing at all in the cold chamber. At -21C, I can run it for about 6.5 hours. At -10C, I can run it for about 10.5 hours. These numbers don't change between "eco" and "max" modes. "Eco" mode does make the fridge use about half as much power as "max", but the compressor runs for about twice as long. If you're using this in a setup where you can't draw more than 30W or so, "eco" is your friend. Otherwise, it doesn't seem to matter much. Testing with it full of food is a completely different matter. My whole life, I've been told that any fridge/freezer is more energy efficient when its full, but I didn't realize how much of a difference this makes. When full of already frozen food, it can maintain that temperature for about twice as long on a charge. I really like this refrigerator a lot, and I think it will meet my needs easily. I can recommend it without hesitation, but think that expectations need to be adjusted: this is not like your home freezer, and performs poorly if you're freezing something that wasn't already frozen. However, as long as you can pre-chill the things you put into it, this performs excellently. ... show more
