**JUST RELEASED** All-New EcoFlow GLACIER - World's First Portable Fridge/Freezer w/Ice-Maker!

[@floridajim3023]

Excellent video! Very informative, you sold me! Can’t wait to get it

[@davidhowell7279]

This is easily the "coolest" review of this type of product I have seen. I have plans to convert a cargo trailer to a mobile tiny home by the end of the year. I will become a full-time nomad in search of 'having fun out there'. This product is exactly what I have been looking for. I will be boondocking for the most part, so the ice maker is a pretty cool bonus. Hobotech recently reviewed a similar product(sans ice maker) with the removable divider, but one of his minor gripes was not having a place to store it when not in use. He thought that it would be great if it could store away in the lid somehow. Perhaps they pay attention to his reviews as well. Anyways, I appreciate your thorough testing and attention to details (even though it requires some special written details/ corrections). Keep up the good work. I'll be watching.

[@NoZenith]

I just found out if you spend more than a certain amount of money with eagle flow they give you free stuff. Another commenter mentioned they got a mini or one of the river batteries for spending in excess of three or four thousand dollars because he bought the Glacier and the Wave 2 and one of the bigger batteries with the solar panel kit. They got some deals on right now if you had me settle down stuff. I haven't gotten my trailer purchase yet but I want to do something similar and try and cut loose from this shity Factory job

[@jasonbroom7147]

Pretty cool product, and they think highly of it, which is to be expected. I could see it being the right solution for specific use cases, like extended boondocking excursions.

[@markkitaoka8783]

Bought one and really appreciate the quality and features. Plan to use it boondock tent camping in the Mohave.

[@ceciliaholcombe818]

Yes, looking for a fridge so helpful and fun watching

[@Zonker66]

$1,000? I think I'm good.... although that extra 1% off you offered made it tempting.

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

Hahaha, yeah I hear you , man! This fridge does price itself out of the market for a lot of people. It IS a very impressive portable fridge, but...that's a heavy lift on the purchase price.

[@davegladstone4151]

👍👍

[@hobby_dude_]

It would be interesting to see how well it does if you start with ambient thermal mass that fills entire volume.... say out of store room, and also where unit is also ambient to start with. Then start the unit and see how much batt is left after 24 hours.

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

Agreed! I constantly struggle to balance all the test scenarios I'd LIKE to do with the time I have to do them...along with reality that I have to be careful not to make the videos TOO long, since longer videos tend to get less traction, as a general rule. The struggle is real. Haha

[@FelixxDaily]

Awesome review

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@kanuckster1]

My Dometic fridge/freezer CFX55IM makes ice cubes and it's been on the market for a number of years now. Love it!

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

And there's also something to be said for the simplicity of that solution as well.

[@jonny5789]

Being able to make them in 12 mins, though, is what's awesome about this

[@NoZenith]

That and not having to store them and use up part of your storage space when you're not going to need ice most days anyway. When I'm traveling I probably won't need ice much but when I stop somewhere or camping with friends, ice would be pretty amazing. I eat a lot of frozen vegetables and free cooking stuff and then just reheating it down the road would save me a lot of money. I don't plan on living out of my mini camper long-term but I want to take affordable trips for the experience

[@johntate5284]

Great review! I think the EcoFlow 220 watt bifacial folding panel is one of the most impressive folding panels out there and to charge that 300 watt battery up in the cloudy conditions with the refrigerator running is very impressive. With all the early bird pricing now gone (those 600 spots went really quick), the regular pricing can leave you a little sticker shocked. Did you check what happens to the set temperature when running the ice maker? It looks to be pretty well insulated from your no power test so any temperature change would probably be negligible. Also nice that the pd 100 port on the internal battery is bi-directional. You covered some things that other reviewers didn't (such as the solar charging and the pd 100 port being bi-directional), so even better!

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

Thanks John! Yeah, when you're running the Ice Maker - it actually does suspend main chamber cooling during that 12 mins or so. Not enough to be an issue, but it will necessarily then require the compressor to run a bit more after the ice making routine. Still not a huge deal unless you're making ice continually for some strange reason. :P

[@KnowTheNewOfficial]

Is this high quality and rugged same like Dometic?

[@GetOutSmore]

This, or the Anker Everest Dual Zone for several hundreds of dollars cheaper when accounting for the battery. Even more accounting for the wheels and arm. Which would you go with? I’m at a crossing point. Ice maker is kind of irrelevant, but a nice party trick especially since it takes like 10-12 percent of the battery to make just one batch of ice. I’d just put ice in the freezer ahead of time. Also, do you know what compressor this is packing?

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree that the ice making function is a 'nice to have'...but something you can definitely live with out. I scoured through the manual and couldn't find any details on the compressor - so I'll have try and reach out to them on that and see if they'll tell me.

[@GetOutSmore]

@@ReeWrayOutdoors Thanks. That could be a differentiator worth considering between the Everest. Anker hasn’t disclosed theirs either which is frustrating before making the large purchase. But the price is still more tempting with the Anker Everest.

[@twloughlin]

@@ReeWrayOutdoors It's an Huayi DK70C compressor. Neither Secops nor Danfoss.

[@HorseRadish403]

True but you can sell your ice to campers that have coolers. instead of having to drive to get some.

[@GetOutSmore]

@@HorseRadish403 I’m guessing that’s in jest, but it makes like 12 small ice bullets in like 15 minutes and that takes around 10 percent of the battery per batch. lol

[@bigbadaboomboom]

On a mild day, say 12 degrees Celsius. The glacier will last about 10 hr, that's one comppartment at -8c and the other at 6. Its shit

[@mikerogers9711]

Sorry if I missed the answer to this question. What brand is the compressor?

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

Hi Mike, I just got an answer back from EcoFlow. Seems they are using compressors from HuaYi. I'm not familiar with the brand so I have no sense of how it compares to SECOP. But given the price point on this fridge, it better be good. :P

[@twloughlin]

Thanks for your review of this product. Yours is the second one I've seen today. It's not something I would ever consider taking out camping, though. It's a fine line between innovative and gimmicky, and this unit falls into the latter category for me. The ice maker in particular, while probably providing an initial "wow" factor, is just a "cool" gimmick. If you have a dual-zone unit, bring one or two ice trays, and put them in the freezer section. Or use the money you save not buying this, buy a 15qt roto-molded cooler, and fill it with 2 lbs of ice that will keep for 3+ days. It should be noted that the ice maker runs on AC power only, so you need either a 120V wall outlet, the unit's accessory battery, or you need to use the AC inverter on a typical power station. The ice maker pulls more than 10 amps, which is why you can't run the ice maker off a standard DC cigarette power outlet (you CAN run the fridge/freezer section off DC). People who will pay a cool $1000 for this either have not thought it through, or have money to burn. On a positive note, the solar charging demo was impressive.

[@MegaSmiles2008]

This unit cost about $1,000 but then you have to pay extra for wheels, handles, and battery. It's nice but the cost is like a full size refrigerator at home. Good grief, why nickel and dime when you could have bundle it together!

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

Yeah, your not wrong!

[@KavanOBrien]

How much is this unit ? Or did I miss it

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

I hadn't yet announced the pricing when I was doing the video. I just found it though on their webesite (hold onto your hat!). The fridge is $999 or $1199 with the battery option.

[@KavanOBrien]

@@ReeWrayOutdoors Wow , if I had a hat i don’t think I would be strong enough to hold it , does that company really think about people or just profit. I think we both know the answer.

[@DoritosResidue]

Icecos apl55 is better and cheaper. I love ecoflow but thier fridge doesn't hold a candle to Iceco apl55. I wonder why they think it should be more expensive than Iceco

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

I'll try and look into that one.

[@DoritosResidue]

​@ReeWray Outdoors just one look at the build, and build materials you'll see why. On top of use a secop Danfoss compressor on all thier fridges. Used in ARB , Engel and use to be for dometics as well

[@steffiejoe]

Just got this cooler!! I’m so excited. During Hurricane Berly imagine my surprise when there was no ice available for days. Now I am adding this cooler and I should never worry about not having ice 🧊 again.

[@vevenaneathna]

huh, uses 2-3x as much power per hour as my 99$ 54 quart no name fridge coz i coated it with low emissivity tape (copper foil inside, aluminum outside). i will admit the divider thing is pretty cool. the glacier has a inefficient boost converter inside which uses a constant 4-6wats/hr when the battery is not installed i believe. thats like a third of the power usage -.-

[@LiquidTurbo]

Using the sun to make ice, our ancestors couldn't have possibly fathomed this. Another great review!

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

Well, when you put it like THAT, you just blew MY mind! LOL

[@wrxs1781]

Good revue, always look forward to the next one.

[@dennischinasen9392]

Nice❤

[@goneoutside1011]

You get what you pay for is right. I have two acopower coolers with batteries. After a year on one and a few mothers on the other I’m done with them. They have some catching up to do. I’m waiting for my glacier to come in. I plan on getting the Anker 53l as well as a Anker power station. I have 3 Ecoflow power stations already.

[@rockingrodders8551]

Good review of a cool arse product..you didn't hit the ice cube eject button..it then kicks in to a 20 second mode so the ice cubes are realised easily..what sort of warranty do you get with this ecoflow item ?

[@luisgonzalezjr.7465]

Thanks. Way too expensive for me. Enjoy it.

[@ceciliaholcombe818]

ok..which panel with the fridge. the new bi facial panel or with rockpal? You have tried both. Thank you. Cely

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

That bi-facial is an interesting panel. I'm still waiting on some clear sunny days to put it through more paces, but it does seem to have noticeably higher output, even (perhaps espcially so?) in less-than-ideal conditions. BUT, it's also a fair amount more expensive, and...I must admit that I'm not a huge fan of the setup/tear-down with how it uses it's protective case as a leg-stand. So...the jury is still out on that...for now.

[@nahnotsomuch2292]

This seems like an awesome product. My use would be leaving it in my off grid place. Then firing it up once I get there. So, the one question that I don't think I've seen any of the reviews of this item touch on yet, is how long does it take to go from ambient room temperature in the 70's or 80's down to say 35-37 degrees?

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

Depends on what you've got stored in there. If nothing, it only takes like 20 mins or so, as I recall...pretty quick. But throw a 24 pack of room-temp soft drinks in there and it might take a couple of hours get them cold.

[@douglaswindsor120]

So is the battery for this unit swappable with the battery pack from the blade

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

I've not gotten my hands on the Blade...but from the videos I've seen, I'd say there are not interchangeable.

[@maderightamerica3216]

You did a fantastic job on your review of the Glacier refrigerator. So much so, I will be buying one of these. I'm hoping I can buy some extra batteries for it. Again, you did an excellent job reviewing the Glacier refrigerator. Have a wonderful daty.

[@NoZenith]

Hey, check into one of the other power sources they have with more capabilities and faster charging. I just found out some of their stuff can charge in excess of 36 V very very quickly, even more quickly than plugging into 110. If you plan on traveling a bunch there is a couple KZbin channels that show how to get a converter from 12 volt to 24 or even higher voltage depending on which converter you get and whether or not your alternator can handle it. If I could charge up a battery in a couple hours when I wasn't setting up solar and I wasn't driving hours everyday so if I needed to I could top it off by just letting my car idle oh, that would be way better than having to Lug around a generator! Anyway something to look into that I don't know all the details out yet. I plan on trying to figure this out before I invest in appliances and maybe run a cable into my passenger floorboard so I can charge stuff while I'm driving. Ecoflow Delta Pro looks like they can charge from zero to 100 in under 4 hours this way! 😳

[@latymz]

That battery is on sale for $229 at rackup+go. It’s the cheapest I’ve seen it. It is generally around 300 or more.

[@danielk7111]

Dang, I just bought a new fridge last month.

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

Isn't that always how it works out! haha Murphy's Law for "cool" tech purchases....

[@hitchpost5822]

Does it come with a car charging cord ? What is the empty weight of the unit ? Thank you for your time

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

According to the manual, the empty weight is about 51lbs (which seems high to me since it didn't really seem that heavy, even with all the options installed). It does come with a car to XT60 cable in the box.

[@hitchpost5822]

@@ReeWrayOutdoors Thank you for the information, I appreciate you getting back to me.
