BougeRV 12 Volt Refrigerator 12V Car Fridge 30 Quart Portable Freezer Compressor Cooler -7℉~50℉ Compressor Freezer, 12/24V DC 110~240 Volt AC, for Truck RV SUV

After looking at different brands I decided to purchase the BougeRV 12volt, 23 quart Refrigerator and make the break from using a cooler with ice.BougeRV is a great seller and their web site offers many different products. My 23 quart 12V refrigerator shipped promptly and I received it in perfect condition. It was packaged very well for shipping and included an easy to read manual, the power cord for a standard wall outlet as well as an adapter for a 12v car outlet. As per the instructions, I let it sit for 24 hours before turning it on. It took less than 20 minutes to reach 32 degrees and when ever I adjusted the temperature, it reacted quickly. The controls and display are easy to read and operate plus they are located on the top where they are easy to access.The fridge doesn’t weigh much (empty) and it has rubber feet that prevent it from sliding around. That is great for when you are traveling. It’s compact size allows me to place it where I want in my small camper or in the rear seat of my truck.As I planned on running my 12V refrigerator with a portable power station and a 100 watt solar panel, I was concerned about power consumption. What drew me to the BougeRV 12 volt refrigerator was how low the power draw is in ECO mode. It only draws 45 watts in regular power mode and in ECO mode it draws 36 watts. In ECO mode my food remains at my set temperature and the refrigerator doesn't seem to cycle as much as I thought it would. It is sitting next to my chair and it is so quiet that I keep forgetting that it is running. Since it will be in my camper I am not concerned about it making noise while I sleep.How much you can place into the 23 quart compartment will depend on what you pack and the containers you place your food in. One thing to remember is that even if the compartment looks smaller that the cooler you may have been using, there really is more room because you don't lose cooler space to ice blocks or cubes. Also, not having to worry about your food getting wet due to melting ice is great. I filled the fridge with food to test it and one thing that I noticed is that the food near the top was as cold as the food on the bottom. I used to worry about meats or food near the top of the cooler becoming too warm if they were not close to the ice blocks on the bottom or covered with ice. Now that is no longer an issue and that's a huge win for this 12v refrigerator. You can also use this as a freezer if you so desire.Over all I am very pleased with my purchase. I will update my review after using it while camping.
