Alpicool T50 12 Volt Refrigerator - Is It Worth It?

We bought the Alpicool T50 12 volt compressor refrigerator and put it through the test of a month long, bumpy road trip. Did this fridge work out ok? Is it noisy? Does it run the battery down? Work on solar power? Is it any good or is it a piece of junk? If you're thinking about getting one for your RV then you should check out what we have to say about it.

That was one of the most beneficial 12-volt refrigerator reviews I've ever heard there were several points that I learn something. I had questions about Duel Zone you explain the on this particular unit non-regulated power supply. The alphacool information. I think the number one thing I learned is you paid for it you're not looking for an endorsement or the next free deal and you will review it in the future accurately

[@gonagain]

I'll do an update towards the end of summer most likely. Thanks Wes!

[@-UPGRADE-]

Agreed

[@brianeddy3454]

​@@gonagainlook forward to it

[@brianeddy3454]

I still wonder if the regulated 12v feed comment was based on an mppt controller and a larger charging system. I only say this because the most will raise voltage to the batteries at times. I know its 12 or 24v but if its switched then it may not like 18- 20 volts in a 12 volt setting. I say this considering a direct battery connection while solar panels are collecting and the most controller is boosting to 18 ish volts. Thats the only thing I could think of that would warrant their comment on the 2 channels he referenced.

Mine has been working for more than 1-1/2 yrs and all is well. Wss so happy l purchased a 30 qt model.

He's worth subscribing to as he's one of the best on You Tube.

[@herblapp6134]

Oh my original C20 unit does a fantastic job keeping my beer cold!! Mine is vy quiet. Oh no piston. Now they use a scroll compressor that uses 2 plates with.one rotating over the other to capture and compress the refrigerant as it gets squeezed thru the scroll circular-like vanes. They are more robust, uses fewer parts.

Thank you for your review, Patricia.

[@geographyinaction7814]

I'm glad you found out why your portable pack was having an issue. Some fridges you lower the limit, some newer power packs, you can extend the hours that the pack runs on low voltage. Either way, you can run the fridge. Some power packs, like the smaller Jackery's, cut out due to the low voltage setting, and a lack of an extended low voltage timer., which isn't really the power packs fault.

[@sallyhintemeyer9389]

Thank you for the review. I have been shopping around and watching reviews on youtube. I'm sold on the Alpicool T50. Love the dual zone. Can keep a bag of ice in the freezer for cocktails and regular ol camping groceries that need to stay cool in the fridge. If it keeps that ice frozen I can even make frozen margaritas. Happy travels:)

[@gonagain]

It should handle keeping ice just fine. Save me a shot!

[@carroyo911]

I bought the exact same one, but with the Stakol brand name. Both made by Costway. I love this unit. I am using it as a spare freezer and have both compartments set at 0 degrees. So far it has been working as expected. Since I intend to move out of this apartment by next year, now I have a way to preserve my expensive grass fed meats during the trip from NJ to FL...

Ours is working fine too, although I did have to send the first one back. I'll have a video coming out soon about that and how the warranty service was very good from Alpicool. I also learned that the compressors are very good quality.

[@skipsamples2647]

Really glad I found your video as the explanation of the low power setting contradicts everyone else. I new there is a way to power it longer from a non-regulated power station since the vehicle is not regulated. I really appreciate it and I will confirm with Alpicool as to model I am planining to get to see what the lowest setting is for it. It may be different for other models. Thank you.

We bought a 54 quart compressor fridge/freezer single zone with Bluetooth. We use it in our 5th wheel as a fridge to keep all of our drinks in and to chill any food that we buy at the grocery store before adding it to our big 12 cu.ft. absorption refrigerator. This keeps the traffic in and out of the big fridge down to meal times. When the temps outside go above 90 degrees absorption refrigerators have to work hard to stay really cold. We love our little compressor fridge and so fr it’s great. We’ve had it running 24/7 for three weeks now and have had no issues.

[@barry-cq4xg]

Great video, clear and concise. I think the point about regulated 12 volt supply needs clarification. Some refridgerators will stop working if the supply pressure drops below 12 volts. A regulated 12volt supply from your lithium power station will maintain this voltage regardless of state of charge in the power station battery, so that your fridge will continue to work.

[@gonagain]

Good point. On this Alpicool I was able to set that down to 9 volts.

Great video! I have the same one. Love the Bluetooth. Did a cross country 3,600+ miles trip with my Alpicool (freezer, single mode). Needed to keep some meat frozen. I stayed in hotels overnight and didn't want to take the freezer in/out the hotel. I used an AUX battery in a battery box overnight. One night, it clicked off by morning (F1 fault on display). I charge the AUX battery with a 3A 12v charger + running the freezer off that battery while day-driving. Bad move! I wasn't able to keep the AUX battery charged up AND run the freezer over night at the same time. Solution (night two-three): ended up running the freezer on a separate power socket and charge the AUX battery separately during the day while driving. Then, at night swap over to AUX battery. Worked perfectly. The final problem I had (my fault). I had the cutoff set on 12.0 volts. I now have it set on 9.0 volts and purchased a Dakota Lithium 54 aH (691 Wh) battery...zero issues running all night. Made some mistakes, but figured it all out. When not on the road....I use it on the back patio. Thanks for doing a video on this unit!

If you have trouble with it moving around I used 2X2" blocks and screwed to floor along sides of my 75 quart Dometic to keep it from sliding on rough roads. Also cut plug off cord and hard wired it into a fuse block into my cargo RV 12 volt system. Plugs are a week point in system.

We had the plug come disconnected on our last trip, so you're very right about that! I'd like to find a way to cushion the ride a little but better to protect it from vibration and bouncing.

@@gonagain Sometimes you can reach down and plug and wire will be warm . Just like a loose battery connection it gets hot from moving. If you want to save plug cut off with 3 " of wire and put an Anderson type plug on wire ends, they are solid connectors and you'll be able to use plug if needed. I would just cut off three inches of cord on plug side and save for emergencies.

@@texdog2772, yes, the Anderson connectors would hold a lot better for sure.
