Thanks for the great video. Do you have trouble opening the lid on the vl pro fridges? My parents (70s) have a hard time opening them because you have to hold in on the handle then lift. They prefer my dometic which is just a simple lift.

[@Teslablackpilled]

Thank you for running the freezer draw for this unit. It’s rare for others to do this option. Great video, your stuff is top notch. Thanks again

[@Jasonoid]

I try to get realistic numbers for people so they can plan for how much battery power they will need.

[@Bdbrook]

I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. I have learned a ton from watching and i know ill save a lot of money in the long run because I wont make some mistakes in buying the wrong items or setting things up incorrectly because of what Ive learned. You have definitely become my go to channel these days when it comes to solar among other things. You explain things well and its easy to understand while being very thorough and getting to information that is very useful in how products will actually perform. Your reviews of fridges helped me decide on which would work best for my needs and helped me land on this being the one to buy. Ill definitely be using your code so hopefully the kickback will add a little bit for you as well. You are incredibly thorough and get more in depth than just about anyone and the comparable grids are so extremely helpful in sorting the information in one easy to find spot. I also appreciate how grounded and down to earth you come off and it makes for an easy watch and makes me want to see this channel grow that much more. Thanks again for all your efforts and Im more than happy to try and support this channel as I hope you will continue to grow and the channel will thrive as im sure you work incredibly hard for us and you deserve all the success you can get.

[@Jasonoid]

Thank you so much!

[@RamblinBobReviews]

Thank you for the review, We have been looking for a portable fridge, so this adds to our knowledge of what to look for :)

[@tangobravo8889]

Sure happy I found your channel your reviews are very clear and professional 👍

[@armourofgod7588]

Appreciate the very well done breakdown of the vl35. Did alot of reviewing on truck fridges and after this video I recently purchased this unit to take on getaways.

[@VancouverTrailShredders]

I hope you're not planning on using it as a freezer, the compressor is not powerful enough and the lid is not air tight. I just returned my 2nd unit after wasting my weekend testing and trying to get the temperature down to -18°C recommended for frozen meat and food. It simply doesn't go further down than -12°C and that's not half full with pre frozen bottles/jugs of water.

[@ScottyD0578]

Just got mine this week.I cooled it off with AC. Then I test charged it on a Bluetti 70s. It ran from Wednesday at 7pm til Friday at 7pm. Indoor test. Works great so far. Taking it on road trip tomorrow. Thanks

[@Jasonoid]

Enjoy the road trip!

[@johnnysweekends]

Good fridge. Iceco makes quality stuff. And a lot of variety. Good vid as always 👍🏼

[@shelley131]

Great video as always. I'm a 12V fridge/freezer addict. I own 2 dometic cfx3 45's a 26qt Joytutus, and my latest acquisition is the Setpower 45s. I was considering the iceco but what sold me on the Setpower rv 45s was the 40º anti-shape function. Still testing it out, so far there seems to be about an 12º difference in internal temperature from the set temperature. I've put several bottles of water to freeze over several days and it has only frozen one, on the top shelf of all places. I set it as 20º so I need to lower the temp. Nice design and as I understand it is also manufactured by Iceco. The real surprise is the Joytutus I bought about 3 years ago. It is a real cheap unit which could use a better seal on the lid but otherwise I have had it plugged in for almost 3 years straight on freezer mode and the compressor keeps on running. Not bad for a unit I paid less than $230 for. Again great video, and thank you for your work.

[@Jasonoid]

3 years! WOW, great testimony to how long one of these can run continually!

[@lynnbb]

💕 The Grading sheets🎯 hard work Thank you

[@1FAST91SONOMA]

My Alpicool TW35 was $270. Its a dual zone and when I ran the fridge (larger side) at 36 degrees and freezer (smaller side) at -4 degrees (lower than this ICECO even goes) in 75 degree temperatures it used 11.54W across my 4 day test. It has an optional snap in battery which can keep it running 4-8 hours depending on settings and ambient temperatures. This is convenient because you wont have your food go bad if you check the app (it has an app to control and monitor everything), you'll see it is running the battery down so you know something happened to its primary power source. It also allows convenient trips to town for food without having to worry about the 12V lead popping out over a bump in the road. It also has a reversible lid with built in cutting board, dual wire baskets, and drain plug. It has every feature this ICECO has plus dual zone, battery, and more for less than half the price... but its not a SECOP compressor. Mine has been running nonstop for over a year now and it has been great. Just saying, consider your options guys. There is no reason to spend more than you have to, and clearly you don't get more for your money. About the only fridge I'd consider moving up to would be the Glacier from Ecoflow and thats just because of the ice maker. Even then there's the EUHOMY with ice maker for $400 instead of the $1060 Ecoflow setup. The EUHOMY even uses the same battery as my current fridge

[@Jasonoid]

There is definitely a difference between a cheaper plastic fridge and a heavier duty metal fridge. Usually product price translates over into customer support and warranty. If you plan to use a fridge while camping or off-roading throughout the year, something more durable will definitely hold up better over time. If you just have the fridge sitting around at your house, you probably don't have to worry about durability as much. I use a cheap 12v fridge at work as a personal fridge for my lunch, it cost $149 and runs 24/7. Not too worried about durability on that model LOL

[@1FAST91SONOMA]

my cheap fridge has been doing fine at home and on the road. I dont tend to throw it off the roof of my vehicle so I cant see a reason for it to be metal since it stays strapped into the vehicle, it doesnt take a beating @@Jasonoid

[@VancouverTrailShredders]

Stay away from the Glacier! I retuned two units, got my refund and ran. Not that you had plans on doing so, also stay away from Iceco, especially this model. It can't even go down to -18°C with already frozen bottles of water inside, It gets stuck at -12°C with a non stop running compressor that tries to get it 6°C colder. Now I know why I can't find reviews/test of Iceco fridges that actually been used as a freezer, simply because it fails to do so. I tested two units at room temperature, neither were able to go down to -18°C so both were returned for yet another refund!

[@todd.parker]

Those Iceco fridges look great and are super beefy but they look pretty big for the size, guess that’s the trade off. Great data!

[@Jasonoid]

It's always interesting to see how the fridge will perform vs others I have tested!

[@ashleykbarks]

I want a dual zone fridge like the ecoflow where you can store a divider in the lid, but I want a small fridge like this. If they could make this size, in a dual zone and split lid, that would be cool. I guess my desired 12v fridge design is kind of niche. I really do think that a dual zone is what I want but this could be a good compromise for size. I guess I dont have to have it running as a freezer all the time.

[@Jasonoid]

The only think like that I have seen (other than the Glacier) is the Setpower RV45Dual. It's a pretty cool design. Affordable too! I reviewed that one HERE: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGW3knmEqdF-oMU (it's an older video, might be cheesy LOL)

[@Michelle-bw1xg]

Would get one of these iceco fridges with secop compressor for daily use in a vehicle, or with 2 separate lid sections to use one as freezer. Love the flexible lid. Need to get vehicle first for sizing. Your reviews and spreadsheet are really great to see what size and brands are energy misers (not the smallest ones out there!). Thanks.

[@OnusBones]

Nice. This is another one of your videos that makes me wish I were in the market for the product being reviewed. I'll be taking my generic 37L compressor-cooler on a trip this weekend, powering it during the day from my Oukitel CN505 power station.

[@Jasonoid]

The CN505 is super cheap these days, still a great budget model power station :)

[@regenerativelifewayne]

Very nice review ! This will be my selection for my Portable solar powered Refrigerator , thanks

[@utubetjc]

I bought this after using the Go20 b/c I needed a larger model. Excellent review...I am very pleased with the performance and power consumption. After arriving at the cabin, I power it with a EcoFlow Delta 2. Cheers!

[@Jasonoid]

Enjoy it off-grid! :)

[@daviddrake6373]

Your reviews are the best on KZbin. Thank you. Are you going to review the APL35

[@Jasonoid]

Yes, I have been testing it. Video will be out in a couple weeks.

[@johnperry5960]

Another great video as always Jason. Have you done a video on any of their Dual Zone units?

[@Jasonoid]

I haven't done any reviews on the larger dual units. I'm sure they perform very similarly to this model, just a little more power usage.

[@TimShelnut]

Love the size of this one. Would be sweet for an dual zone this size as well!

[@Jasonoid]

That would be cool! I wish this had one of those hybrid dividers like the APL55.

[@TimShelnut]

@@Jasonoid yes thats the design this one needs. Ice-cream should fit in that area above the compressor of that area was divided. I ran the VL60 in my car 24 / 7, 3+ years here in South Carolinas heat.

[@user--PM]

ICECO makes a great product, it's easy to see why it's your favorite goto.

[@Jasonoid]

I'm having my 50k livestream next week! I'll send you an email soon 😁👍

[@chrissinclair8705]

Awesome review as always. A bit off topic, but just a follow up from my Elecaenta 120w woes. I've recently purchased a Powerness solarX 120w panel as a replacement and it's awesome! I have the newest version with the extra adapters and the newer panels. Here are the specs: Max power: 140w(omg) Max power current: 7.78 amp, yes 7.78 not 6.6 Max power voltage: 18v I lost the damn booklet but the open circuit voltage when cold tripped my Golabs R300 overvoltage protection at 23.5v so my guess it's around 24v open circuit when cold. I just put my hand over one of the panels to drop the voltage then plugged into the Golabs when the Golabs started charging and the voltage dropped more, I took my hand away. It was pumping in an indicated 60w into the Golabs at the 3amp current limit so with 5w added for losses on that little MPPT controller it was probably pumping in at around 22v at 3 amp. I had it up against a wall so I couldn't look at the panel LCD screen. In October in Toronto(alt 412m) with 652w/m2 solar radiation I was pulling 106w. Temps were around 70 F nice breeze which probably helped with the efficiency but considering this panel is tested at 1000w/m2 solar and I was getting 106w at 18.3v at 5.79amp at 65% of the tested solar radiation I think is awesome. It has an LCD screen on the back which tells you what the panel is pumping out in volts and amps for the DC USB-C and USB-A ports which to me is more of a gimmick but it's fun to look at and it may help beginners angle their panels for max power. The newest version comes with all the adapters unlike the older one. It has a magnetic clasp as well as the two inner panels fold onto themselves. I'm just putting it out there so maybe you can hit them up for a review as a community member found a gem. They have sizes 40w to 200w. I think it was about 10 or 20 bucks more than the Elecaenta but it feels WAY better quality especially the ETFE coating which on the 2 lemon Elecaenta's look like a child put it on.(I don't blame them, their supplier is at fault) Just a head up for the community as there is almost no reviews on it except some crazy German in Australia and in Europe and they are just plugging it in and go "Hey it works". And it's all the older model not this new one. Maybe hit them up and see if they'll send a panel or two for testing. They still market it as a 120w panel so I'm wondering if this is another XT100 gem which gets OVER what it's claiming(120w) under ideal conditions. One guy on Amazon claimed he got a max of 135w which is probably a fluke in the summer. Oh and it has a 2 year warranty not the standard 1 year. Test it damn you! Test it! 🙂

[@albertoc5882]

Awesome videos and information. Thank you

[@VancouverTrailShredders]

How was the test done at 5°F Why didn't you a test at max freezing setting of 0°F which is the temperature meats and frozen food should be kept.

[@RandiG63]

Thanks Jason love all your reviews 👍 Iceco looks great and massive from the outside 😂 I prefer a duel zones for longer trips. Just like the flexibility

[@SetitesTechAdventures]

The perspective of the first shot made these both look massive. Thee things are interesting. I don't like the buttons but I like that AC input. The brick is annoying

[@Jasonoid]

HAHAHA, I guess when the camera is back that far it kinda gives a fishbowl perspective that stretches things out.

[@NoZenith]

Oooh... this looks similar to the Ecoflow 🤔 I really do want dual-zone and convertible dual-zone like the Go20 or the ecoflow really stand out to me

[@Jasonoid]

The hybrid divider would be super cool! Setpower has a few models that are affordable with the removable divider. The Setpower RV45D and RV60D

[@NoZenith]

@Jasonoid would you recommend either of those over the ecoflow unit? That one was still on sale for under $800 last I looked which seemed kind of in line if slightly more expensive and the vacuum insulation seems to work equally well as bulkier units 🤔. I'll go look up those two you just recommended now :-) I bet you have videos on them!

[@Jasonoid]

@@NoZenith it all depends what you are looking for haha... if you want the icemaker to function, you'll need to purchase the Ecoflow internal battery, that adds more money to the cost. I have videos on the Setpower models, let me know what you think!

[@NoZenith]

@Jasonoid I thought the ice maker would also work if you just plugged it into a 110 outlet? So if I were at a campground where I would actually be using the ice or if I had the additional capacity with the capability to recharge I could just plug it into the 110 outlet on a Delta 2 Max (shortlisted possible all-in-one camping trip power supply).

[@stevesmith8483]

Hey. Do you know if iceco fridges can be stored for the winter in a seasonal cabin with temps 0 or below?

[@Jasonoid]

Yep, they work fine if powered off and stored at cold temps

[@tangobravo8889]

I have noticed (might have missed it) that your reviews never reference Jackery power stations ?

[@Jasonoid]

I tested the Jackery 2000 plus, it did great in my testing. I'm also testing a newer model coming up soon!

[@andrewvillavicencio8496]

Awesome as always. I am looking at these now. Was checking out some BougeRV's but now might pivot to these :-) Thanks

[@Jasonoid]

These are such an upgrade to the BougeRV products!

[@andrewvillavicencio8496]

Good to know, thanks! I need to see some kind of spreadsheet for all their models, quite confusing@@Jasonoid

[@Jasonoid]

@@andrewvillavicencio8496 I have a fridge spreadsheet actually. Check out this website: jasonoid.com/powerstations/ Go into the 'power station grading sheet' .... Look at the bottom spreadsheet tabs and select the '12v fridge' tab. It breaks down all the fridges I have tested on the channel and their specs / performance .... Prices will be a little off but everything else should be good!

[@andrewvillavicencio8496]

Awesome!! Thank you@@Jasonoid

[@Blunt-Perspectives]

Does anyone have a fix for the E3 error code?

[@Jasonoid]

Email ICECO support, they will let know what to do or start the warranty process.

[@unounv]

What I really want to know is how long it takes out the box to get from ambient temp to fridge temp! Just got mine and it’s been over 3 hours and it still says 47 degrees

[@Jasonoid]

Usually 20 minutes or less, that's odd it's taking that long.

[@unounv]

@@Jasonoidseems to be doing okay now maybe it just needed some time to get things flowing I don’t know 🤷

[@Jasonoid]

@@unounv good to hear!

[@OCMOOMOMO]

Had an iceco VL45ProS and it broke early. Got sent a new one and the 2nd unit didn’t last either since it stopped going under 34 degrees and would drain my Detla 2 power station. They also aren’t very responsive with their warranty. Built quality isn’t that great. Would not buy an Iceco again.

[@Jasonoid]

How were you using them? Two of them broke?! I had friend who had his fridge just rolling around in the back of his truck on a bumpy dirt road and it stopped working too. I have tested and used like 10 of these and they are all still going strong with family I've given them to 🤷

[@ItsEverythingElse]

The 35 seems huge relative to the 60, considering it's 35 vs 60.

[@Jasonoid]

It's much more narrow which is hard to see from the video. The height and width are similar. The exact internal and external dimensions are on their website for reference.

[@jnmc-vx4fw]

Because it’s free !! Just like the first one. Positive reviews keep the free products coming.

[@Jasonoid]

Self liked comment... Nothing in life is free man. What do you think the 120 hours of testing the product costed me? What do you think the filming and the editing of the video costed me? They didn't pay me a penny for this video. Definetly lost money on the deal...

[@katers22]

I'd say time is more valuable than money sometimes. Jason's wife here 🙋‍♀️. I'll be the first one to tell you all how much time, effort, and energy Jason puts into this channel all while working a full time job and helping me raise a family. There are a lot of sacrifices made. But hey, at least you got "free" information just by watching his videos.
