Alpicool CX50 50L Portable Refrigerator Car Fridge Freezer with Telescopic Handle Cool Box for camping, driving, Picnic, down to -20℃

Product Information

Camping, fishing, and the love of the outdoors are synonymous with our ideal lifestyle, but one important ingredient was missing on any extended trip away from home. In short, it's an affordable, functional, compressor-based 12v fridge that fails hard in the area of usable design. Easily monitor the running of the refrigerator, switch ℃ and ℉, increase or decrease temperature, choose battery protection modes or change between Max and ECO. We never link to products unless we can honestly recommend them, and we always try to find the cheapest and best source for the camping gear we’re featuring. If you look at the picture on the Costco listing, only the areas around the dark grey portion get cool, and the top part doesn't get cool.

The cooler offers a 35 litre capacity in total which we found to be a good compromise for small to medium sized family trips away.By accepting all cookies, you agree to our use of cookies to deliver and maintain our services and site, improve the quality of Reddit, personalize Reddit content and advertising, and measure the effectiveness of advertising. You can’t do both at the same time, so you do need to work out how you’ll actually use it in practice. This 45L cooler is a fairly small, compact overall package, making it easier for one person to pick up. This will set things off with a decent chill en route and you can then use the cigarette lighter socket in your vehicle to keep it cold while you travel. All in all, though, when we consider that this model uses an average amount of energy to not get as cold as the competition, it begins to seem less impressive.

Don’t forget good iceblocks – the best we’ve found for maximising space and coldness are the Thermos Freezeboards. Unfortunately, when it comes to reliable temperature control, the Alpicool isn't particularly impressive and is the worst of all the compressor models we tested. Use the APP, you can check the fridge temperature, voltage and other information, and you can also set the temperature and switch.

Given that the grass set on fire in front of our tent in 47°C of heat in Corsica last year, it’s a big question for us. The front is finished with a brushed black panel, and the cooling power is provided by a high-efficiency LG compressor, ensuring you get long battery life from your leisure batteries. For anyone with a sense of adventure, there is no better way of escaping mundane suburbia than by packing the camping gear into the car and setting off into the great beyond with the wind in your sails! Remember that the weight of the box itself is only of partial consideration – it’s how heavy it will be when filled to the brim with grub and champers!

Insulation: From our testing, not all electric cool boxes can reliably keep food and drinks sufficiently chilled if it’s warm outside. Maybe the designers thought, "No worries, we'll put a large telescoping suitcase-style handle and wheels on it so it doesn't need to be carried. They also have some clever power-saving electronics to improve performance and offer 12/24V and mains operation.
