BougeRV 12 Volt Refrigerator, CRPRO 30 Quart 12V Car Fridge, Portable Freezer (-8℉~50℉), Compressor Electric Cooler with 12V/24 DC, 110-240 AC for Outdoor Camping Overlanding Truck RV SUV Van

Very good camping fridge. I like the cooling aggregate which is variable speed. When needing less cooling (close to target temperature) it draws less power. It is not loud or unpleasant, just a whirling hum. We had it inside the tent. The temperature sensor is on the bottom of the fridge (while cooling loops are on the side). I measured a 3.2F higher temp inside of the fridge over the set point (averaged over many hours). But that does not seem to matter, it works well in real world. Put the food/drinks back in after meal (and they have warmed up) and temperature displayed jumps up, and fridge cools down. Exactly as it should be. I always use the MAX mode to use the cooling capabilities. The ECO mode marginally reduces power consumption. Under ideal conditions (never open the fridge), @ 74F ambient (indoors no direct sunlight) with a -8F target temp it consumes 23.1Wh per hour in MAX and 20.5Wh in ECO. ECO has a higher duty cycle (on for 60% of the time vs. 50% in MAX), and the cooling aggregate apparently is more efficient at lower speeds. Improving insulation (i.e. putting a blanket over the fridge except for the vents) had a bigger effect only needing 19.5Wh per hour. Power consumption is much higher in the real world (open/close, putting food/drinks back in that are no longer as cold). I did not measure (busy camping), but I would guess 250Wh in a 24h period using it as a fridge (34F set point -- which is a bit too cold). In real-world, very good fridge! We enjoy having a real fridge and not needing to mess with ice. Friends are surprised about nice and cold beverages right on the campground. You could even have your own ice cream (using it as a freezer). Albeit, it still gets wet inside the fridge due to condensation -- we don't dry things off when putting it back. In hot and humid weather, lots of condensate forms when you take something nice and cool out of the fridge.

If I could give this 10 stars I would. Who would have thought that a 12 volt refrigerator freezer could be this great and efficient. The inverter compressor is very quiet constantly adjusting is speed to efficiently use power. The most this device pulls is 2.5amps or 37 watts. It can easily flash freeze by dropping the temperature down to -8 F. I never have to waste my money on ice again. The fact that you don’t need ice means that you don’t need as large of a cooler. I fit more in this than my 55 gallon Coleman because I don’t need ice. I take it everywhere. If you plug it in and pre-cool it to zero and then take it on the road with the battery it will keep stuff at 30 degrees about 10 hours on a charge. Get the insulated cover it makes a huge difference in battery life. Without the cover it’s about 50% less efficient on battery power. I bought 2 batteries so I can keep Italian ices in it at -4 degrees all day. It’s always great to bring a meat freezer with you when you buy ice cream in the summer. You can get it home without it melting. It isn’t too heavy even with food in it. It’s easy to transport because its size is very manageable. I love the fact that it keeps your settings when you swap batteries. The interior has a wonderful lighting system that works just like a regular refrigerator. If they can make just one improvement it would be to have the battery just slide in. The cigarette lighter plug really holds tight into the battery making it difficult to pull out to remove battery. Other than that one tiny gripe this is truly the best gadget ever invented. I most definitely will buy a bigger one next year for use in my yard for party’s because it keeps stuff real cold even opening and closing a lot. It comes with a real nice set of accessories like a car power cord and a shorter cord for the battery.

Starting with the freezer. I started the carnivor diet and needed to keep three weeks of steaks frozen in my semi truck. This freezer holds a ton of steak and easily maintains zero degrees even in the heat of the summer. I also bought the "freezer coat" they sell and definitely recommend it. There is about an hour between my truck and my house where the freezer is unplugged in the trunk of a black car. The freezer only raises about 3 to 5 degrees on the trip. I'm very impressed with the freezer, it does all of this and is almost silent. It comes with three power cords. One for the house, a long 12volt cord and a short 12volt cord. If you don't add the optional battery all the cords fit in the compartment the battery would go it. After about eight months the freezer began to struggle to maintain zero degrees. I reached out to the company and they replied very quickly. I sent an email in the evening and had a reply the next morning. All thry asked for was a picture of the QR code, my Amazon receipt and a short video showing the setting, the current temp and a shot thru the vent for diagnosis to determine if I needed a part or a replacement, either way I was assured I would be taken care of. Due to my schedule I had a very small window that I would be home and would need the part or replacement to arrive during that time. Jamin from customer service determined a replacement freezer was the best course of action. I'm happy to report that my replacement freezer arrived with plenty of time to spare! Jamin really stepped up, replied to all emails the same day or first thing the next day, wasted no time diagnosing the problem, and solving it even with a challenging timing. I highly recommend this freezer for it's capacity and performance. I give a full five stars even though mine developed an issue because of the way Jamin and BougeRV handled it. Impressive freezer and outstanding customer service.
