What they have in common, that 500 watt battery will last about 19 hours at 85° ambient temperature. Thinner, thicker, lighter, heavier, smaller, bigger, they all perform the same. This means we have two winners. - lowest price, actual - largest capacity My conclusion : buy the biggest one you can afford and fit, then spend extra money on batteries. Good lineup introduction

@@Jasonoid dB measurements can be tricky depending on the instrument used to measure, position of the instrument with respect to the cooler, orientation of cooler with respect to instrument (i.e. which side the compressor and its vents are on etc), ambient environment (and sound reflectivity off walls, floors etc). So be sure to take those factors into account when measuring. And besides dB levels, which many ordinary people have trouble understanding what that really means - include a qualitative assessment where each cooler is placed into a van configured for someone to sleep in (which usually includes sound deadening materials including bedding, carpet, seats etc). Lay down on the bed with the cooler placed in a logical location (which may be under or at the foot of the bed) and let the fridge cycle on and off and ask yourself - _"Could I sleep in here with this thing running?"_ Your honest assessment of that criteria for many people who are buying 12V fridges is critical.

@@MyChannel-vm6dw most fridges do not have internal batteries. I'm not sure there are any lifepo4 fridges on the market yet, just lithium Ion NMC models. I recommend just using a 12v LFP battery or power station to run the fridges.

What kind of electrical set up is needed to run the VL60 in a vehicle reliably 24/7 ?
@Jasonoid2 жыл бұрын
You'll want a two lead acid battery setup in your vehicle or you'd want a portable power station. I never suggest running the fridge off your starter battery alone. Check out the Bluetti EB55 and EB70 power stations. I have a few reviews on my channel for those models. They charge well off solar panels and the 12v output from your car.

Is there a difference between vl60 pro and vl60 pro s or is that one and the same?
@Jasonoid2 жыл бұрын
The vl60pro is the same as the vl60pros. The S means it's a single zone, not a dual zone. The dual zone VL series is much larger.

@@RicoZaid_ yep, there are 3 screws above the power panel, and 3 screws underneath and then the power panel metal plate comes right off. I have removed mine 2 or 3 times. Just be careful to not tip the fridge over on its side, it's best to have it on a table and the have part of it hanging off and work from underneath (a second person holding the fridge sure helps). Once the panel is off you'll see the fan and 4 screws that hold it in. Just swap it out. Plug in the fridge when the panel is off to see if the noise went away, maybe you have a pine needle in there or something.

HELP!!! Ive been looking for a fridge. I Just can't figure out what I want. I'm on the road 2 to 3 days just backroading in my Nissan rogue. I have a EcoFlow DELTA mini Portable Power Station. Which I use for drone, iPhone, iPad and laptop. Can you give me a few choices. Thank you.
@Jasonoid2 жыл бұрын
A 45 liter size fridge will usually fit 2 to 3 day days worth of cold food. Since you have Nissan Rouge you might have limited space in the back so the ICECO JP40 is taller and more narrow. If you think you can fit the VL45, which is a couple inches wider, you'll get awesome results with that fridge! I prefer 'chest style' fridges. ICECO just launched a JP40pro I think you would like as well. Video can be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5fWiHeAZb2Nr7M (I reviewed the JP50pro, the JP40pro would be slightly shorter)

@@Jasonoid The interior height of the JP 40 is 14" so allows wine bottles whereas JP 30 is only 11" so cannot stand wine bottles up. The setpower RV 45D looks a great option too but looks like compressor not quite as good and I saw the comments about issues with temp delta on the dual zone? I'm hoping to run for 15hrs or so off of starter battery. For that the VL45 would seem to be the best option. As is always the case you can rarely get exactly what you want. May be the RV45D would be ok?
@Jasonoid2 жыл бұрын
@@pwatom22 the RV45d is a great fridge, the compressor also has a 3 year warranty and it pretty efficient. I just took my RV60d on a trip and it performed well. However, running it 15 hours of your starter battery might be pretty difficult especially if it's hot. Just watch the voltage so you don't kill your battery. I always recommend a second power source.
