Don't Buy the Ecoflow Glacier Fridge Until You See This...

Thanks Casey That thing is BIG! Having it in the back of your Gladiator gives me a good scale for the back of my Wrangler.

[@ashleykbarks]

I'm hoping other companies take note. I think it might still be better to get a regular fridge, but the fact that an icemaker is an option now is a gamechanger for the bougie overland glampers. Im probably going to get an Iceco regardless but the specs on this are cool! Not perfect, but cool! 😬

[@chadlloyd6247]

Interesting. Another aspect I like is that it is only 17.5 inches high. That makes it short enough to not stick up too much above the tub in the back of a topless TJ, which is frankly an important thing if you don’t want your fridge blocking your rearward vision.

[@jacobsmithjr]

One thing that's missing which I wish Ecoflow would have included is the power/data cable like the one used for the Delta Max/Pro. That way you could get exact power readings like you can when the Wave is connected to a Delta Max/Pro.

[@sixshooter4570]

I just purchased an Ecoflow Delta Max 2, can't wait. Also purchased a Bluetti AC 180 batery unit and both have the long-lasting lithium batery.

[@shelley131]

Thanks for your hard work in doing this video. It is a great concept EcoFlow has with the ice maker . Too bad that you must buy the battery to be able to make ice. Feels like another gimmick. Would have been nice if EcoFlow would have installed a connection for the River Pro delta extra battery cable or the Delta Max or the Delta two instead of having to use the internal battery. I'll stick to my dometic for now. Again great video, and thank you!

[@Withlovefrominterent]

I know it's a year later, but I'm considering this unit during a sale that's running and so watching reviews. It seems the icemaker can run on AC power. Meaning, you can plug the fridge into any of the Delta generators and the ice maker should work fine even without the internal battery.

[@ndgoliberty]

The reason you have to leave it sitting for 2 hours is because the compressor contains lubricating oil and the oil only works when it’s sitting at the bottom of the compressor.

Yep - its kind of cool to be able to whip up icecubes in a few minutes. I think if this is successful we will see more from Ecoflow.

this looks cool! I guess the glacier fridge is dual zone in the fridge thats the main diff between that and the euhomy

[@jpdrummer86]

My take: ​​⁠ based on their website I’m not getting the impression that they have impeccable customer service and they’re ultra vague about their warranty on their product, making a product with this many bells and whistles calls for more issues and troubleshooting down the road, in order to have a good experience with this product, it will be fully dependent on how impeccable their customer service and warranty is, which seems kinda non existent at this stage. It’s too high risk right now simply because of cost and lack of retail presence to get assistance if something needed to be fixed. It’s very appealing from a features standpoint, but the cost seems too much for not having a strong market presence and support at this stage.

[@rhyezkieable]

Hi there, Base on my experiece, they have a top notch customer service. I live in VaNcouver, canada. They reply so fast. They replaced my defective power station right after telling them what my issues were.

[@colwem]

Yea I bought a few products from them and their customer service knew very little and couldn’t get any answers to any technical questions.

They took my returns no questions asked. I live offgrid in a motor home use their batteries + air conditioner almost 24\7 with barely any issues.

[@josephjarvis8228]

I’ve bought several products from them and they really back what they sell, I bought a wave 2 AC the first two were bad and they replaced them instantly no problem, and it was a brand new product lineup. The one I have now works great, I was nervous as it was a new product and could be buying something not thoroughly tested. I would absolutely recommend them and will buy from them again

[@RANDOMNATION907]

With the solar panels, this would be great for a cabin. Darn shame about the high price, tho.

[@geographyinaction7814]

So, here is my take, and let me know if this is correct please. I buy this fridge and the battery, get a solar power and I'm good. If I don't get the battery, I can't make ice, but if I do get a battery, and a solar panel, I do not need to buy a power station. Also, I can use this battery's USB to charge a lap-top or phone. So, I pay more for this unit and the battery but I do not need to spend money on a power station?

Right, I know of a person that has one of these eco flow glacier fridge units and the unit doesn't register the set temperatures. There is no replacement parts for it and the person got told to throw it away by eco flow. So what is the point of getting something that will end up on the junk heap?

[@vinjkdiesel3122]

Wow, Ecoflow really stepped up their game with this. Raised the bar against the competition as well.

[@Letsdive64]

Realy what game, the fridge is cheap looking, over priced and can do without an ice maker. EcoFlow won't even tell you if it is designed for offroad use. My guess is it is not, this is why they tell you to wait for 2 hours, give the fridge a chance to settle down before you use it. No thanks, I will buy the new Iceco 55 dual zone it is priced better, looks better and is designed to work in offroad conditions. 1000, for the EcoFlo plus 200 for the battery. Talk about bending people over.

[@jpdrummer86]

@@Letsdive64 I agree, it’s an unsettling thought when they say it needs 2 hours two settle down, and the first time someone experiences issues after off-roading hardcore, they will probably be quick to deny warranty claim, if there even is one, their website says nothing about length or any warranty at all on this product. This is very concerning, and considering it has essentially a turbo mode on the compressor, I wonder if it’ll shorten the life on it. To me it seems to have all the bells and whistles 3-1 plus internal battery, plus Solar charging, I’m wondering how many possible things can go wrong and how many outs does the company have to deny any of these possible issues on warranty, god forbid if the internal battery option ever fried anything inside if it leaked or was defective in any manner, it would ruin the entire fridge, it seems to me that a lot of people will have to be the test subjects for a few years before anyone finds out how it will hold up with off-roading and efficiency longterm

[@logothaironsides2942]

So the icemaker is just like those little icemaker machines you can buy. Hmmm lets see, ecoflow fridge with battery 1250 quid, OR icemaker 60-85 quid and other brand of fridge that can also use batteries (just found one for 150 quid without the batteries) and batteries for same 58 quid. I love ecoflow because they are bringing usable car camping stuff to the USA and UK market but it pays to stick around and wait for the competition to cotton on.

[@chaseneal9168]

Casey what are the details of your solar set up

[@Casey250]

honestly, there aren't really any details right now. In this video I just grabbed a 200w (I think it is) solar panel from Ecoflow and threw it on my roof. With the Delta 2 Max, it has 2 DC inputs, so I plan to run an extension cable off to a solar panel that will be on a RTT once I decide on one I want to stick with.

Great video! I think they want the users to let it sit for 2 hours after driving it around because of the refrigerants. I'm not 100% sure about this but when my wife and I bought a water dispenser cooler and loaded it in the back of our truck, they gave us the same advise to let the refrigerants kind of settled first before use.

Hmm I wonder if the battery is worth it vs just buying something like the river pro

[@kristofsportingdogs3549]

I really like the battery, ive run my glacier for 4 days on its internal battery alone, without solar or anything, and the battery was still not dead (around 16% I think). But I dint use it as a freezer. I had the big compartment set at 4°C (the normal fridge temp), and the small at 10°C to put my fruit in. It was in a caravan, And I don't want my fruit in a hot caravan, but fridge temp is also not needed for fruit. The fridge was set on ecomode also. But it works perfect in ecomode...

I'd like to see how long that battery lasts when its 90 degrees out. 40 hours is pretty great, and if you're doing 3-4 hours of driving each day, it should stay pretty topped off.

[@Casey250]

I have a comparison video coming out this week with the Glacier and new Iceco fridge. It does pretty well unless its sitting in direct sun, which no cooler or fridge should. Even so, put a 100w solar panel on it and it will go all day and stay at 100%.

Interesting, but feel the ice maker is a gimmick. If you just get a larger 55qt or 75qt dual zone fridge/freezer you can just use a standard ice tray when you need ice and when you don't you have more room for other food. In addition that ice maker you said used 10% of battery just for one tray of ice which feels like a lot.

I think I'd just take the mini-fridge and slightly modify it so it works in a "cooler" orientation... Not hard to do, and WAY cheaper. Plus it's expandable, to where you could go do far as to incorporate a full blown "power system" for the truck (couple batteries, a good inverter, solar panels ontop of the tent/cab) and be able to power ALOT MORE than just a fridge/cooler.. All for less money than this Eco Flow Fridge. Now I do understand that that isn't really the point. The videos point is that it exists and it's available and you don't have to do alot to have something like it. It just costs you an arm and a leg. Sadly for the average person, this just is not an option. Only content creators, or very well off people, will ever actually buy this thing. But maybe that's whats intended lol.
