Alpicool Y20T 20L Compressor Car Fridge Freezer, DC 12v Camping Refrigerator, Portable Mini Cool Box for TruckCampervanRVBoat, -20℃ to 20℃

I’m an air conditioning engineer. Up until now my stash of drinks in my van had been cooled by a Peltier based cool box. This was very inefficient and wasn’t keeping up in warm weather. I’d never heard of or seen a 12v compressor based fridge before until I saw this one. I’ll be honest I did have my reservations as to wether it would be any good. But I decided after researching to go ahead and buy it, I opted for the 20 litre version. A few days later it landed on my doorstep. I’ve had it just over a week now and it’s amazing! It’s basically a mini chest freezer with an adjustable thermostat. A design that’s simple and effective. It’s very well made too and chills amazingly fast! I fill it with about 16 500ml bottles at ambient temperature every few days and it’s chilled them to 0c in just a few hours and that’s on the eco setting! What’s even better is the fact that it’s so efficient, meaning I can power it from the mains (using the supplied adapter) or from the van lighter socket without the socket getting crazily warm like with the cool box. Like any fridge it does produce water but this is easily wiped up once a week and no where near as much as the cool box. If you’re looking at buying a cool box then don’t, these only work at low ambient temperatures. Pay the little extra money and get one of these which works in all temperatures, you won’t regret it. It’s also a lot quieter than a cool box too. I had to put my ear right up to the vent to check it was actually running! I highly recommend this product. There are a few things I don’t like about it. The left hand handle isn’t insulated so can get a bit damp. Especially at low temperatures. I can’t see any way to access the compressor section if it ever needs to be repaired or if the fan and condenser needs to be cleaned. Other than that I’m very happy with it.

The Alpicool Y16 16L Car Fridge is an amazing product that delivers excellent performance for its size. It works perfectly to keep beverages and snacks cool during long drives, outdoor picnics, or camping trips. I’ve been using it for a long time with no issues, and its compact size makes it easy to fit into a car or RV without taking up too much space. The cooling is efficient and consistent, and it’s incredibly convenient for road trips and outdoor adventures. That said, it is a bit noisy at times, especially when the cooling kicks in, but it’s not overly disruptive. I do wish I had gone for a bigger size, as the 16L capacity, while sufficient for light use, can feel limiting for larger outings. Overall, it’s a reliable and high-quality car fridge that’s perfect for keeping your essentials cool on the go.

This little fridge/freezer was absolutely perfect for my needs - I really didn't want a huge box taking up half the car boot space and indeed this is really dinky and yet has enough space for the essentials. I just wanted to be able to safely keep some basic items like butter and cheese nice and cold during the hot summer weather. In particular, I specifically wanted a 'proper' fridge with a compressor and this ticks that box perfectly. It was a pleasant suprise to discover that this comes with a 240v adapter because I was only expecting a 12v cable for the car. This meant that I could easily pre-cool the fridge at home. I used it at Butlins for a week to keep some food cold and to chill a few 500ml drinks bottles and then I took it on a wild camping trip where I froze sausages, bacon etc down to about -14°C at home and then set it to 0°C in the car and added some refrigerated items such as cheese and butter... When camping I hooked it up to a car battery and set it to 4°C and the food slowly thawed whilst keeping it cold. 3 days later the battery was still running it just fine and I was able to transport a bit of left of food (including raw meat) all the way back home and into my main fridge with zero wastage. Given that this is also substantially cheaper then the other models I really cannot complain at all. If I were buying this again I'd consider the 12l version which looks like it's the same base with a taller lid, just so I could put 500ml bottles in it standing upright, but honestly this is brilliant and I'm really happy with it.

This is an excellent bit of kit and great value for what you get. It may not have a huge capacity, but it's compact, can be stowed away and the contents accessible without pulling it out. It's quite and draws very little out of our battery. Unlike our previous electric cool box, it keeps food at a proper temperature and is not noisily running all the time while flattening the battery. I wish I'd bought it much earlier.

Probably one of the best freezer boxes for camping you can buy. It works really really well and keeps the temperature down even after being turned off. My only gripe is I wish it was slightly bigger inside.

Gute und schnelle Kühlung Brummt ein wenig aber akzeptabel... Passen locker acht " Halbe" rein

La he probado y estoy encantado. La pongo a –2 °C y enfría muy rápido sin llegar a congelar las bebidas, perfectas para tenerlas fresquitas como en un bar. El compresor es silencioso, el consumo bajo y se nota que mantiene bien la temperatura aunque abras y cierres la tapa. La uso en el coche y en casa, y con la batería extraíble (que compré aparte) puedo llevarla sin depender siempre del enchufe. Muy práctica para viajes, camping o simplemente traer la compra del súper sin miedo a que se estropee nada. La nevera enfría muy bien para ser portátil, obviamente no tan rápido como la de casa, pero cumple de sobra para viajes, compras o llevar bebidas frescas.

Das ist genau das richtige was wir gesucht haben und zwar wollten wir offenes Futter für unsere Haustiere leicht gekühlt aufbewahren ohne dabei extreme Aufwände zu haben (Platz, Stromverbrauch etc.). Das Gerät ist zwar etwas teurer und wenn man direkt in der Nähe steht hört man das Gerät ebenfalls, es ist aber auch nicht lauter als ein durchschnittlicher Kühlschrank, was im Endeffekt auch das Gerät ist. Der Stromverbrauch ist wirlich SUPER. Im Vergleich zu anderen "Kühlboxen" die aktiv gekühlt werden, hat man hier Premiumleistung und die Mehrkosten sind schon allein durchn den sparsamen betrieb schnell wieder drinnen. Hier reden wir bei 10° in etwa von 0,3kWh am Tag. Wir haben das kleinste Gerät gekauft und bereits aktiven Kühlboxen versucht. Hier lagen wir immer bei mehr als 1kWh pro Tag mit sehr schlechter Kühleistung und Isolierung. Da die anderen Geräte immer durchlaufen, ist das Problem schon vorprogrammiert. Dieser kleine Kühlschrank schaltet sich nur bei Bedarf ein und hält auch die Kälte sehr gut. Gegen die Vibrationen haben wir unter die Füße etwas drangeklebt, was dann vermutlich im Auto die Sache nicht mehr stabil gegen Verruschen sicher, aber das ist egal. Zum Thema Auto: Hier wird die Leistung ebenfalls überzeugend sein, schon allein der Stromsparmodus den man aktivieren kann um die Autobatterie zu schützen ist genial. Da kann man das Auto zum Einkaufen schon beruhig abstellen und das Gerät angeschlossen lassen. Tja was soll man sagen. Ich finde das Gerät perfekt! Man sollte sich nur einen EU-2-Pin-Stecker bereithalten, denn das Gerät kommt mit einem englischen Stecker. So ein Kable hat aber vermutlich fast jeder zuhause rumliegen.

I bought it to keep the fish fresh during the long journey from Norway to the south of Denmark. Alpicool keeped temperatures from -3 to -15 for three days without any additional battery or charger. Outside it was about +28°C

Kühlt sehr gut, scheint sparsam im Verbrauch. Im Camper kaum zu hören. Die einzige Kritik, die mir einfällt ist, dass das Display Nachts wegen seiner Helligkeit stören kann, so dass man etwas drauflegen muss.
