Buy the 12v Vevor Fridge: amzn.to/3WhmZrV

@ridgehilljillie9429 Жыл бұрын

I wanted the freezer so I could freeze the hard plastic ice packs, then, put them in a cooler to keep my food cold without the food getting soggy from melting ice. A refrigerator needs to be running all of the time using up energy. The 10 Quart freezer can sit on the front seat and only needs to run every other day or so, when I need to refreeze the ice packs.

I have the Alpicool brand. Same thing like you said, but I opted for the larger unit that has a domed lid so it can take larger bottles and you can stand them up! Everything else is the same! BTW, that USB charger port is a joke. If I plug my phone into it, the power shuts off. Not the fridge, just the USB power. It can do barely an amp! I never tried to see just how cold it can get, but I read once if you use the ºC setting, it's more accurate? It is a nice unit though.

@AutoMotivate 9 ай бұрын

I could imagine they cheaped out on the USB Port. However, the fridge worked flawlessly for me for the time I had it. Recently sold it with the camper van. I regret it because I have already had a few instances where I wish I had it.

Brother thank you so much for the vid. I moved to a new city, my roommate died and the family kicked me out, so I find myself crashing in the caravan. I liken it to jumping in a cold pool, its a shock but you enviably acclimate. I live in Florida so heat is an issue. Im planning on using the fridge as a dual purpose device and turning it into a AC unit as well as a fridge. Plan to put a trans radiator inside and run cold water to a trans radiator outside with a pair of usb fans. May also line the fridge with aluminum for maximum temp transfer. I use a bluetti power station with a harbor freight solar pannel, which has about 230 ah, so i think this will work great. I tried a ice maker which pulled 200 watts and did nothing for cooling, so again thank you so much for the vid. The whole experience has brought me closer to God. I hope my story does the same for you. With all the craziness going on in the world right now, it doesn't hurt to make peace with your maker...ya dig. Thanks again.

@apocraphontripp4728 2 ай бұрын

@evilbeetlekustomscreations4965 You're going to need a few things. A power station that you can recharge with solar/ AC power. I tried a few things. Peltier are easy, but take a crap ton of power. The mini fridge seemed like a good idea, but the hot side needs to be vented outside. If not, you're going to be super hot again. I found a mini ac on ebay. It's raw. No case and you may have to do some soldering. I'm almost done. Again you have to vent the hot side. Let me see if I can get you the link.

It reminds of the old timy RV refridge that took over night to get cool and keep stuff cool. As a 12v option to you really expect it to make blocks of ice? Or do you just want to be able to take stuff to the beach and keep it cold. Once cold stuff is in it, the temp will stabilize somewhat to make it even more useful.

@KevTheHunter1 Жыл бұрын

With summer coming up, I’m not pervious of keeping a cooler with ice all the time and say I take a turn a bit too hard and there goes all the melted ice and drinks all over my car trunk. I’d rather keep something like this to keep drinks cool, not necessarily to freeze stuff, but it does seem to keep stuff frozen. so in order to keep things frozen, it’s important to keep this in mind say in a camping trip or at the beach.

@david78212 Жыл бұрын

@@KevTheHunter1 I'm not against it to keep drinks cold, I just don't have high expectations of a 12v anything to make a lot of ice or very quickly... It kinda reminds me of the "personal A/C" unit they are scamming people with all over the place.

@@ceeweedsl yes I know, compressor vs pressurized alcohol. It still doesn't make that much difference, your home fridge can barely make ice in a matter of hours, yet, people expect a tiny 12v fridge to make ice? Never mind how much. It's a nice thought, but, the tech hasn't made those kinds of changes yet... They aren't much more efficient than they were 50 years ago.

One thing in your video that you did not address is that 500 w of power over a 12-hour period is quite a bit of power usage for people who are camping. If you have a jackery or some type of large 1200 w lithium battery, you will drain it to zero in about a day. And it's also worth noting that your power consumption is as high as it is because you have maxed it out and turned it to its coldest setting. If you were to use it just to refrigerate food, you would probably draw about 10 w per hour which is very acceptable as that would be 240 w per day which would be plenty for most people on most extended camping trips.

@lazzzlooo 2 ай бұрын

I know i am very late, but most of these can go to about -4 F (-20 C). However, because they don't get the same insulation as a fully sized fridge, in reality they might be closer to something like 4 F (-15 C) minimum temperature. (Still well below freezing.) I have a Vortex fridge, very similar in specs to this one, and this has been my experience with it for the last year. Also, on a side note, these fridges always work intermittently so they are a bit slower in reaching those minimum temps than your regular house appliances in order to be safe for vehicle use.

Your tem gauge is incorrect. Water freezes at 0, but your gauge say 10 ... not possible unless the laws of physics differ inside this coolbox! Physics also dictates that cool air sinks, this is why they cool the upper part of the box, so they don't have to cool all the boix at once. Well, I guess it is a budget cooler.
