AlpicoolX40 Portable Fridge 12 Volt Car Refrigerator 42 Quart Fast Cooling Freezer for Fishing, Camping, RV, Truck, Boat-12/24V DC

This was my first year of using this fridge - bought it on the mid-summer Prime sale for a long camping trip that I was going on in September.The fridge itself worked great. It never let me down as far as working and keeping things cold. Food at the bottom and towards the shelf stay the coldest (frozen stuff stayed frozen pretty long), but the whole unit kept things cold. It's quiet (I have an overlanding trailer, and I never heard it in the tent above where the fridge was), and worked well. I ran solar to keep my battery charged, and I could see at the beginning when you start it up, it draws about 3.5A (maybe a spike to 4) to get things rolling, and then it settles down at about 3A draw. However, if it's in shade or its cooler, it only runs about 10-15 min, and so I would estimate the draw per hour is less than 3A per hour. If you have it in direct sun, then it's going to be more. I kept it shaded and in the trailer, but during the day it was 90+ degrees.It held enough food for me for a week of travel (42q). For two people, it is good for a long weekend trip. The cover flips to be used for either side entry. It comes with an electrical brick as well, so you can run it indoors. I used that on a second trip I had to take, and again, it never failed me.The one gripe is the molded handles...they can be a bit hard to get a good grip on the unit when it's heavy, and I don't know how I will lock the unit down on a shelf if I get one for my trailer.For the money, this has been a great investment in camping gear, and we use it also when we just go travel for other trips. No more wet food from melting ice!

Fantastic quality fridge! Absolutely worth every penny!! We bought this bad boy for a 6000 mile road trip in our sedan. It’s super easy to move, light (though it can get heavy with food stuffs) and most importantly keeps stuff cold!! It works easily through the ports in the car, though we bought a small transformer so we could use the plugs for other things too. We did not use it without the car running, but it doesn’t seem to cost too much to run for a while in a house.Good size - about the size of a box bag from the store. Plenty of space for us to store lots of goodies.

Works well. Have used as a freezer since November 15,2024. It is now May 1, 2025 and temperature never went higher than 4. It was even sitting in the sun at that time.

Nice little fridge. this must have been returned. half unwrapped when it arrived NO owners manual , online the company will let you down load it but not print it. and there very vague. but this thing can good and cold got it down to 22deg.

I purchased this cooler to take with me to Big Bend, Tx for a week long overland trip first week of July 2023. I used it with my solar power source and sometimes with the vehicle power. I was very pleased with how I packed it. I had marinated meat, drinks, salads, coffee creamer...I was impressed with how it kept up with the high temps in Big Bend exceeding over 100 degrees each day. It maintained temp throughout the day and at sundown, it settled down with power consumption as it maintained temp. Noise levels are like any little fridge. It wasn't a big deal for us. It does put out some heat but nothing crazy. We slept on a rooftop tent so we didn't deal with that. I recommend this as a good starter cooler for easy camping trips. We put it to the test and it was well worth the buy.

I wanted to love this fridge/freezer so much but no such luck.It was great while it worked but it only lasted 9 months.Completely stopped cooling.Now I'm on the hunt for a better quality replacement and dealing with losing a freezer full of food.

I've had thermo-electric coolers for decades and not needing ice is great. Those coolers were always a bit limited in capability to cool things down depending on ambient temperature.The Alpicool, however, is really a refrigerator. It has a compressor and refrigerant system. It can cool things to whatever setting you want and keep it there regardless of the ambient temperature.The cooler can act as a freezer (-4°F) or a refrigerator (38°F) and anywhere in between.There's a bluetooth app which allows you to set the temperature and monitor the cooler if it's in your trunk or too far away to see.I just used this on a 2,000 mile road trip where I needed it to be a freezer for several days and then just a refrigerator after that. It did wonderfully.The draw on the vehicle's electrical system was not noticeable, the cords never got hot even on the max cold settings.Even turned off, it held the temperature pretty well (not days, but hours).It cools off quickly and maintains the temperature in a good range.It is not overly heavy or bulky either which is nice.Being able to control the temperature, have something that can be a freezer or a refrigerator, and not ever need ice is super convenient for road trips.

The only problem is the interior lens cover for the interior ed light circuit broke off on arrival. Ill glue it back on since its not a bulb but led lights. This is a second purchace due to the success of a smaller capacity unit. I ha e another brand snd the fan can be heard. Not this brand no sounds at all from the teo. One is two yesrs old now and works great. I srill use it.
