This cooler is literally just a small refrigerator that plugs in to your car, so it's perfect for RVs or normal vehicles on longer camping trips. It also includes an AC --> DC adapter for use will a regular household wall plug. It fits great in the rear of my subaru outback, and the outback has a conveniently located DC plug in the rear as well, which is perfect for keeping this running. I usually leave it unplugged overnight and it insulates well. The sides of the cooler are very thick , which does mean that there's not as much storage as there would be in a comparable non-refrigerated cooler of a similar exterior size, but I still find it to be plenty for most needs. The interior wire bucket also helps tons with organization and makes it feel like there's more room. Temperature control is easy to work, simple up, down, and power. Not only can you set the temperature, but you can view the current internal temp, and the voltage consumption. Super wide temperature adjustment, can be used as a fridge or a freezer!! I usually bump the temp down a few degrees a little while before I shut it off for the night. Great system, game changer after buying bags of ice for so long!

This fridge/freezer has been the perfect thing that I wish I knew sooner that I needed in my life! I bought this for camping and ended up using it for a medical situation (explain in the video). Now I would not live without one.
To give the high level it is very well made and works exactly as you would expect. The temperature control works perfect and it gets just as cold as advertised. Dialing the temperature is a breeze and it stays right there.
It’s weighted slightly one the right side, but the depth inside allows for more storage on the left. The design is so that it is easily light enough to carry making this not too big a deal. Once loaded it is very easy to even the weight out and actually natural as there is extra depth on that side. My instincts tell me any changes to the design out allow for less overall space and depth – which is currently the perfect amount in my opinion.
The power adaptors both work well and it’s whisper quiet. I can leave this plugged in my trunk while camping and it’s not annoying at all. At home I had it setup as a freezer in my bedroom for a couple days due to my medical emergency and it worked out great – I was afraid it could be annoying – not at all.
Also, the insulation is great. Leaving running as a freezer I would get just a light frost inside, but nothing at all on the outside.
See my pro’s and con’s list below, but I am sure you will be happy purchasing this. I’m going to recommend my folks get one just for the idea of having one in emergencies. This is just so practical. Overall, this is a five star product, no doubts about it. I could not really ask for anything else out of the design and the functionality is perfect. Even the price feels really reasonable considering what it is. I give this one my highest recommendation, as it is clearly an excellent product.
Pros
- Very quiet
- Well made – feels very durable
- Perfect size
- Controls are easy to use and read
- Competitively priced
- Gets very cold, works well as a freezer
- Temperature is stable
- Handles are molded into the side for duability
Cons
- Weight is one-sided until loaded

The little fridge makes life with a small family extremely convenient. We have a 1.5 yr old who still enjoys a bottle of milk with her nap, a 4yr old son that liked PB&J, and two parents that like cold drinks at the beach.
We filled up this little fridge this weekend to go to the lake and it was awesome! It’s super easy to use and the little basket makes it easy to utilize all cu.ft. of this unit. I can’t wait to use it on a family camping trip, over multiple days.
My only concern with these sort of fridges is they are sealed so tight that I could see them being an issue if they aren’t cleaned properly.

I originally got this fridge/freezer for our family minivan. As we follow a special diet, we can now take along all the foods we want without worrying of it getting spoiled + enjoy ice cold drinks.
So far we did one 7+ hour trip with the family and this fridge made a big difference. It made the long trip much easier and more enjoyable.
As I do a lot of long distance driving, I decided to try and fit in my sedan.
Despite it's large capacity (about 9 gallon), I was able to fit it between the front passenger seat and the rear seat.
I can easily reach inside with one hand while driving without taking my eyes off the road.
It made the drive so much better that I would not want to make another long distance trip without it.
For packing and unpacking I did find it a little inconvenient that you must hold open the lid because it would not stay open by itself.
However, I since figured out that you can temporarily detach the plastic rope that prevents the fridge to open more so it will stay open on it's own!

I am very impressed with this car refrigerator,it is what I expected! The size is just perfect for my Honda Odyssey’s trunk. I can adjust the temperature as I need. It is perfect for any traveling, shopping, or fishing. When we went to beach, it was super hot and the restaurant normally were far away from the beach. My kids didn’t like the food there, most of the food were not healthy there. We are not worried about that anymore. We can put their favorite food in the car refrigerator now. My kids are very excited to have it. We also use it do the regular shopping daily. We can put the meat inside of this refrigerator. The weather is super hot right now. It works wonderful!

Got into Off-Roading and OVH recently due to covid. Currently rolling a 4th gen 4runner sport. One of the main issues with being off map for multiple days is being able to keep food fresh. Before I had this unit I was using a 37qt pelican cooler which would could retain ice for up to 7 days. This was 'okay' but def had some cons to it.. the temperature was not controllable, some items would stay frozen and it would take time to defrost; also when the Ice is gone then its gone.
This unit has controllable temperature and manages to stay cold as long as its plugged in, with my dual battery set up in my rig its really not an issue; In my 4R there is a 12v 'cigarette lighter' in the cargo area. I enjoy it so much that I just leave it in my RIG all the time, it even makes good for those grocery trips when you have some perishables.
This is def a must have for any overland/off-enthusiast, soccer moms, or anyone that does regular grocery runs (THAT MEANS EVERYONE)! Would recommend.

The summer so far has been very hot and with all the wind and stuff there is often no power. This fridge is useful to not only use at home as a spare fridge but I can also just pick it up and take it in and out of my car for road trips and on-the-go items. We take Icecream and sodas usually but anything will stay cool and fresh. My mom also uses it to put groceries in while she finishes other work in the car and can go around.

The current situation is not suitable for outdoor events/parties/touring but when I saw the product details on its indoor usage compatibility, it attracted me into buying the product as we can have this beside us in our office room at home where we spend most of our times during these days.
Have been using for a week now and it has enough space for bottles/juice/fruits and other snacks and easy to setup - its a little heavy. It took couple of hours from 80 F to 37 F and since then its staying at that temp with no big noise and excited to use this in our outdoors going forward.

This is my first portable plug-in fridge/cooler that has an actual compressor inside. Works just like a mini fridge or freezer at home except you could bring this everywhere. I came across this while browsing for a cooler for my shopping trip during summer because I realized with the heat and if you don't go home right after your grocery shopping, your food will have a lot shorter time before it goes bad. However, sometimes it's just not possible to go home right after.
The cooler has a lcd that displays the current temp, the set temp ,and the voltage. Buttons to adjust the set temperature. All is easy to use and straight forward.
I did a little test before I put this into actual use. The performance of this portable fridge blows be away. You could set a temperature of -4f !! From about 80f , the cooler can reach 30f in about 20 min and it can really reach -4f within about 60 min. (See attached picture) Great performance.
Although, it is designed for portable use, it still has a very good capacity. You could put about 40 bottles of coke and bottled water in it no problem. We also plan to keep this fridge in the car so we always have cool drink to consume anywhere we go!!. Very amazing.
Because this cooler does not require any ice pack or ice, so you could store items for the full 37qt, unlike traditional cooler, about 1/3 is ice and ice pack.
It comes with 110v plug and 12v car plug so possibility is endless. I can imagine it's a must for camping or picnic or can be used as a fridge or freezer if we vacation in a cottage or if we go on a road trip. Very Happy and Satisfied with this purchase!!

This is awesome!! I have a JEEP Grand Cherokee Overland which is a full size SUV. Put this fridge cooler is perfect in trunk or back seat. I have test the power cord and cooler condition is so great and strong. So glad I have purchased this item for my family.
Not sure if it put in a sedan car the size will almost fit or large. But if you have a SUV, you must have it!
My family need it to camping or mid-long trip. Even I went to grocery got some frozen food or yogurt need this cooler. Save my drink and food when during the hot summer season.
Useful item and large enough. Will recommend to others.

Ever since I was a kid my family and I used to just get in the car each Saturday and drive to an unknown locations exploring different places, we only knew the direction we were going that day but never knew where we would end up, maybe go back home after visiting a park, maybe stay the night somewhere and get back the next day.
I believe these experiences as a kid thought me a lot about nature and how to just start a fire and cook outside of your home in nature. Skills and experience I carry on to this day.
I live in Florida today, and as you know, there is not much places to just drive off to a certain direction its all water around, but my plan is to drive across country around October and I am already preparing my trip plan and getting different ideas.
This product was one of the recommended products on a cross country trip advice and I decided to give it a try, since it’s a cooler that works in your back yard as well as in your car, it has a compressor that actually cools the inside! So basically it acts like a mobile fridge.
I already put it to work, last weekend there was a hurricane advisory and we decided to drive to Naples (the west coast line of Florida) so we loaded the cooler with drinks and some snacks and we put it to work the night before. In the morning the cooler was reaching 40 (F) degrees.
I have a Nissan Rogue and my car has a plug in the back, so I just plugged it in and that is it, it worked and all the way to the evening we had cool drinks and snacks available to us, it was a short trip (about 2 hours each direction) but yet a long day at the park where it was very hot.
I believe this is a very good product if you are traveling a lot, it is a bit costly but worth it if you use it, otherwise just get a regular cooler.
The biggest benefit of this cooler in my opinion is not have to deal with all the melted ice after its all become water and you can keep your bottle or food dry inside without needing to run and get ice.
The cooler act as a cooler as well, and when it is not plugged it still keeps the temperature low.
This product comes with 2 types of cable, one for a regular electric plug at home and one for the car plug, so you can use it in both. Operation is very simple, on and off button and temperature control buttons.
If you travel a lot in your car, camping or even just hang out a lot in your back yard, this product might be perfect for you. No ice needed.

Video shows it all. Excellent cooler even if it didn’t have the added benefit of being an amazing fridge too!! Comes with both a standard outlet plug and a car power outlet type plug, so it will work in your compact car or your kid hauling minivan with power outlets, like we have! Very spacious inside, and we can fit all the food our family will need for 3-4 night stays inside, so not only can we avoid having to spend money out, the food stays cold on our entire trip without having to waste space with ice packs!!! Very light when empty, even with all the fridge components, I can still pick it up with one hand. The body is very sturdy feeling and it feels like it can take a few pot holes along the way and still keep running. Yes, this is on the pricier side for a cooler, but trust me, after all day in a car/van, knowing all the food you brought is still fresh and frozen is well worth it!!

Very good delivery. I have another product that is almost the same as this but it is really bad. I am very disappointed and regret buying the product it. because I didn't read the reviews first.
finally I did not use other brand products, I then opened my amazon to buy new products that were better and amazing. finally I found this product before I bought this product, I read reviews from other buyers, I was surprised their reviews were very good and extraordinary.
then I bought this product and when it arrived at my home.
I immediately use it, this product is very good no one can match the quality of this product. I am very happy to get this product.
I highly recommend this product. If you don't buy this product, you will regret it. because you will not get the best quality besides this product

It's light for me and I can easily move it to my car. Hope it performs well in my weekend party.

kelli konczak
It looks good and keeps drinks cold well. This fridge is nice for travel because I don't have to take the ice bags with me.
Kelly Clifton
I bought it for office use. It is rather quiet and does not bother me at all. I am happy with it yet. I also want to buy another for my family.
