Be sure to do a follow-up video weeks or months later and let everyone know how it’s still performing in case someone doesn’t run into this video for a while.

[@thuff3207]

It’s really hot in Alabama as well thank you for sharing!

[@hamradiotube]

Thanks for watching.

[@JamieStuff]

I'm an over the road trucker, and I've been using the 50L version as a freezer on my truck for about a month now. I'll just say that I just ordered a second one. Setting it to coldest, it holds at 3ºF, which is great, tho the unit is running at 100%. I keep it set at -10ºC, which holds it right around 10ºF. I was happily surprised to find that the 12V plug is the same one that my old (died of old age, a half million miles) Indel-B (aka Truckfridge) unit uses. That means that I have all the Powerpole equipped cables I need. :) The second unit will be on board as an unpowered spare, likely holding my cold/wet weather gear as storage until it's needed.

[@tracy3350]

Last night after watching your video I placed an order using the coupon. Like others who commented I woke up to an email informing me that my order was cancelled. Not sure what that is all about...hope you can get to the bottom of it. Thanks for the video...very informative!

[@hamradiotube]

Gosh darn it. I've got a message in with them so we'll see what they say. Unfortunately Chinas morning is our evening but I'll keep you updated.

[@bobs8353]

I also received a cancellation email. I did the messenger and they said was due to logistic problems.

[@hamradiotube]

They had some kind of "Internal Error" There is a new code in the description as well as the pinned comment at the top. If anyone want's to reorder it you should be good to go now. Sorry for the mess up.

[@Locksnut]

Thanks for the review, Mike. I wonder how much more efficient it would be if cooler was white or light colored. I guess a towel could be thrown over it. 73 de N4WLC Bill (in Chesterfield)

[@hamradiotube]

Yeah I wondered why they made it black too. I bet it would be more efficient if it were white.

[@StrikeEagle15E]

Essential Field Day equipment.

[@RESlusher]

Come on, Mike! How am I gonna sleep in that for Field Day?! :) Good stuff as always, sir! Thanks for sharing!

[@hamradiotube]

You’re just gonna have to curl up a little tighter.

[@AD6DMDennis]

Pretty COOL Mike.

[@AD6DMDennis]

Surprised you didn't run a watt meter on the 12V input.

[@hamradiotube]

This cooler is sweet.

[@hamradiotube]

I whipped up Medium Geek very quickly. The PowerMini 2 takes care of all the monitoring though, so it was pretty easy.

[@bobs8353]

I am in the market for a 12 volt fridge and was going to buy a dometic earlier today but didn’t pull the trigger. I come home and this video is in my subscriptions. I also purchased one on the banggood link. With the coupon code it was $165 shipped. I understand the quality is not comparable to the dometic, but for the price I figured I would give it a shot. I have never purchased anything on banggood so hopefully I don’t get scammed. Update 7/7/22 woke up to an email from banggood that my order had been canceled and my purchase price refunded. I do see a refund from paypal so it doesn’t look like I lost the money, but banggood said my ordered was canceled due to logistic problems even though it still shows in stock on their website.

[@hamradiotube]

That’s great. I’ve been using mine a lot and it hasn’t let me down so far. Heck of a price!!

[@hamradiotube]

They had some kind of "Internal Error" There is a new code in the description as well as the pinned comment at the top. If anyone want's to reorder it you should be good to go now. Sorry for the mess up.

[@craigvk2paw17]

I also use my 12v fridge/ freezer as an auxiliary freezer at home

[@hamradiotube]

Great idea!

[@W7EDM]

I've been considering getting one for a while to go in our Jeep. I used your link and they were on sale in addition to the coupon. 165 bucks shipped. Fingers crossed I don't get scammed.

[@hamradiotube]

Oh wow that’s great! I’ve been using the crap out of my cooler. I love it.

[@hamradiotube]

Some people had their orders cancelled due to an error. If that happened to you there is a new code in the description as well as the pinned comment at the top.

[@W7EDM]

@@hamradiotube mine was canceled twice so I figured " why press my luck? " if my bank is that sketched out by the transaction, I figure it's probably in my best interest to abandon the process." I'll save my money for that new Yaseau radio.

[@wushock92]

That thing is amazing. I'd wager it's a better price than a Dometic unit, too.

[@EdwardGriffin]

Cheaper than a Dometic for sure. My CFX series Dometic is smaller and I did some tests on it and measured its' power usage at 0.68 amp hours per hour when set on 43 degrees and in a 80 degree ambient environment. It would be interesting to know the same measurement for this cooler.

[@hamradiotube]

“Order cancellations caused by errors in the BangGood background system will be resolved in a short time. Then, since the usage limit of original coupon limit has been reached, here is the updated one Coupon code:BG113dd7 (20 PCs) Code price: $204.99 Warehouse；USA Exp 7.31.”

[@chriscrowder]

And now when you use the code it jacks up the price to 279 before applying so you really don't save anything....

[@peterdekeles.]

Received my cooler today. Boy does it get cold fast. Can I run it with a 20 amp or do I need the 30 amp. Planning on getting Bioenno

[@peterdekeles.]

Mike, which battery were you using?

[@dimitrisxl]

Hi friend, this is SV1IWL radio station from Greece!! Does this fridge have also wheels??? Thanks

[@mikecase2638]

How long was it in your possession before you snipped the cable and installed power poles?

[@hamradiotube]

I left them on for field day for the video just to show it stock. It pained me to do that but rest assured, they have power poles now.

[@craigvk2paw17]

Looks very similar to my brass monkey one that I have 12v are the best thing every so much better then esky’s with ice

[@alvarogaitan2529]

Thanks Mr bangood 73

[@stevegriffin9552]

Hi Mike interesting review I never seen a cooler/freezer like that. I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of back in the day the amateurs would say they would like to have an 807 and that was a beer. 807 was a tube back in the day so the beer bottle look like the tube. I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of that. Have a great week. WD5ENH Steve

[@hamradiotube]

I have not heard of an 807 but I'd like one lol

[@mc333777]

"L" is for Low battery protection and will drain your car battery all the way. "M" is for medium battery protection and the fridge will leave enough power so you ca start you car without draing it all the way. Th fridge will automatically shut-off, preventing the battery to drain fully. Use "L" if you are not using your car battery as your power source.

[@hamradiotube]

Yes, like I showed on the screen. In the video.

[@devonf6669]

Yikes $154 to ship from China. No shipping from USA to Canada

[@freddyb2098]

Followed you link and the coupon code is not working ???

[@hamradiotube]

Hmm, it's worked for others...

[@chriscrowder]

@@hamradiotube And they cancelled my order that I placed with coupon. No sure if that was why they cancelled it on me or not.

[@hamradiotube]

@@chriscrowder Well crap. I just sent a message to my contact at Banggood. We shall see what she says.

[@hamradiotube]

They had some kind of "Internal Error" There is a new code in the description as well as the pinned comment at the top. If anyone want's to reorder it you should be good to go now. Sorry for the mess up.

[@freddyb2098]

Let me add some info. to this for those who are interested in this item. No code price is $222.28. Add the code and the price goes up to 287.08 ???? minis $75.00 to equal $212.08 not $204.99. The original listing with a $50.00 off code the unit was no more than $160.00.

[@DK5ONV]

🤘💯👍👍👍🤘🙋‍♂️

[@tonyd6884]

You can’t buy a descent ice chest for that money. I have a similar cooler that live sin my truck best thing ever.

[@hamradiotube]

I know right? I love this cooler.
