I picked up this fridge a couple weeks ago and paired it with an EB70S. I ran it on MAX the entire trip. It effectively cooled down room tem bevvies (24 pack) in about 3 to 5 hours and never got above 46 watts while running. Great fridge thus far. I ran it for 2 days ights of camping and it hardly dented the Bluetti's battery compliment. Time will tell on its build quality, but so far I'm quite impressed. The current model also has a drain plug making defrosting much easier too.

I know this video is over 3 years old but thanks for saving me some cash! I almost went through and purchased the dual zone but my budget was strict and with tax on the dual zone was over 100$ more. I escaped with a bill (including tax) in getting this 53 quart for $281! So I got the largest fridge for the cheapest amount. Again. Thanks!!!!!!!!!! This one is also the best dimensions for my vehicle.

At a very cool price. Gota love the pun to start out. As far as the lid goes it doesnt matter. You can leave open an cold air will mostly remain in the tub unless moved by air flow. Otherwise cold falls. Love the details and how complete review is. I suspect that when full of already cold items it will maintain temp right away. His time test is the max empty volme . Like any freezer the less space to maintain the least energy used. Like the unit for the price and thanks

When I use a 12v fridge like the ICECO GO20, I do not waste battery power getting it down to the temperature I want. I plug it into the wall the night before the trip and the next day I simply load it up and head out. When driving, I again do not waste battery - I power it off the car and then use a Jackery or Ecoflow when at a campground or Cracker Barrel if there is no shore power.

Timothy Mckee On a road trip with a lot of driving hours, I might stop and eat dinner and then sleep overnight in the parking lot. Cracker Barrel allows folks with an RV or camping trailer like my Runaway Camper to stay overnight. Better and safer than a Walmart.

@Timothy Mckee I am quite sure that would not work. Maybe at a hospital if you had a family member being treated but you would need to ask permission and where best to park. When we drive to Colorado from Indiana we use the rest areas in Kansas on I70. Most have a loop of to the side specifically for RVs and campers to park for the night. We use them on every trip out there. btw - I do videos about my Runaway camper, some product reviews like Ecoflow (my favorite lithium), ICECO and a few others.

@Timothy Mckee That seems to be the $1 million question I am getting. We are keeping the Runaway and will use it as an always-set-up comfy bedroom. We are taking out the cushions we had made - they will go on the sofas in the Transit - and getting a queen for the Runaway. The vast majority of trips we will be towing the Runaway, but now and then and if I did a solo filming trip out West then I would just take the Transit.

Think of the horrible prices people paid for car fridges a few years ago. LED screens help as I've seen a pile of broken LCD screens. Never buy a 110 volt dorm fridge again.

Good video these fridge/freezers are awesome. I have the 52qt extreme power with the compressor in the top right corner. It has a blue tooth app and a usb charging port. I really like it. I use it in my 5th wheel to keep our drinks and in so it keeps the kids out of the big fridge. The lid on mine has a gasket and is a tight fit with no latch to break. Handles are molded in and it has wheels and a collapsing handle. It has been plugged in now for 4 months 24/7 and hasn’t missed a beat. I thinks it’s a little louder now but not bad. Well worth the @299 I paid for it.

Another very well done review. I would challenge the method for acoustic measurement however. There is acoustic coupling from reflections off of the table and acoustic vibrations through the table. This could result in low frequency vibration through the table affecting your results. It would be best to have the phone on a stand or suspended. The weighting used for measuring could affect results also. C weighting reacts more to low frequencies while A weighting rolls off the low frequencies. But if anything the results would be better with an alternate setup. Keep up the good work.

Ever try to dig down through a deep chest freezer for the container you want, that ALWAYS seems to be at the bottom… the removable basket let’s you first SEE what you want, and if you do have to dig for something, you can close the lid on the freezer to retain the inside temp (and save power), until you dig out the container you want, then replace the basket. think that is a very thought out idea, and for the part time user, the price point is a great way to start

Many refrigarators have low values of insulation or none , just the plastic that the units are made from . Maybe one can add some insulation to these units

You might be able to increase the insulation value by using a rectangle of the foil covered bubble wrap insulation INSIDE the lid , as long as you don’t cover any vents

Outstanding video. I appreciate the detailed information of products. I do have one question.... How much heat does the compressor vent out. If I put this between the seats of a Class B to augment the small on board fridge, will the heat from the compressor be an issue during the summer heat?

THIS. but less wobbly and more hatchback-trunk-friendly sized, and therefore smaller compressor, smaller power draw, would be AMAZING coupled with a Ravpower 252Wh. if this behemoth needed just 266Wh for a full day's work, a smaller model would also leave power for phones and other small toys, then you could top it up overnight in the car. cool review, thanks!

How tall is the unit when fully open? (max height) The side compartment, what's the point of it? Does it still get as cold as the rest of the unit? Seems like a waste of space - would rather have one large opening

Since this does not come with an AC adapter or cord to run directly on household current, is there an AC-to-DC adapter you could recommend should one want to use this as an auxiliary unit in their house? I don't think I found a suggestion on your Amazon page. Thanks.
