My $15 garage sale igloo ice chest works fine, ice lasts 5 days, I never camp longer than that. I really thought about one of these then realized I don't need one. Maybe if I was going out for two weeks but then it won't hold enough food so I have to go to the store anyway so I might as well get ice while I'm there and I don't need a battery or solar to run the ice chest.

I used my buddys iceco before buying mine and I can say that for over another hundred dollars cheaper you should purchase the setpower version of this fridge. It’s just as well built and works very well. It’s identical to this iceco

While ICECO is top of the line and has a premium compressor, I still prefer my cheap Bodega. Why? My Bodega has removable baskets to lighten the load with two or three trips instead of getting a hernia. If you have a flat path you can use the pull-out handle and roll on wheels. The Bodego opens with a single pull handle and when you open the lid LED lights come on. The lid can also be oriented to open on the opposite side. Oh, it also has a built-in pull-out battery pack. Lastly I'm not worried about scuffing up the blue dimpled plastic housing on the Bodega. The shiny smooth aluminum finish on the ICECO would probably show ever little dent and scratch.

37 degrees in my $240 Bouge is the same as the 37 degrees in my trail buddy's $1,000 CFX3. and i've had mine longer too.

nice table top review. but what i want to see is a real world use. take it out on 100 degree day and see if it can keep the drinks/food cold. like the weather is for most of the country right now.

I always thought a good cooler was great until having a fridge in your rig. Finding a good priced one that works good is a game changer for sure.

If it had wheels I’d buy it immediately. 35 pound empty means 60 loaded. Needs wheels

I love the finish of the APL35, but there's no way I'm going to back to a fridge without a battery. It greatly simplified my setup.

I wonder if the latches and hinges can be reversed so that you can control which side the control panel and power ports are on.

Freaking amazing how efficient a DC compressor works with a DC power supply. My Costco priced Igloo ICF 80DZ consumes around 700 Wh/Day… that’s 14 days on a 10 kWh battery or forever with 1 hour of EcoFlow alternator charging daily.

Wish they also included the option to use the fridge on it's end. Guess you could make a mount for it to keep it upright, and use like a real fridge.

It is a nice looking unit but it is a little pricey. I have a velvor 42 qt. unit that cost me abot half and after a year it is still going strong. It keeps ice cream hard as a rock.

Some of these newer 12v fridges are pretty nice. I may take a closer look if my old ARB 50qt fridge ever failed (knock on wood).

I recently bought the iceco j40 for a semi, works great. I love the wireless connectivity.

Just got this fridge for camping,It’s very quiet and cools extremely fast,Also use it for runs to Costco..,..

That looks awesome! I had a larger dual zone iceco and it was great. Fit perfectly in a rear section of a 4dr f150. This looks like it would fit in my rear extended cab. 😛 We always used the dual zone to freeze ice packs to keep between drives and other cooler cold.

Some classic digital camo trail scale on the top 😊

I wouldn't get a cooler with integrated power storage. If I were to get a powered cooler I would get one that runs off of external power only, for the reason of versatility (having shore power, or car power etc) and also external battery bank can be replaced independently of cooler. Also would not get powered cooler unless your use case is falling out of a maximized non- powered cooler, getting one with better thermal efficiency, precooling the cooler the night before you leave, and freezing all possible food items, and refrigerating the rest ensures that cooler space will be going towards the frozen solid food items rather than packing cooling ice. All these tips together will ensure a cooler that can easily sustain safe temps for a week.

Question: Casey when you're on the road how do you power the Iceco cooler. Are you using the supplied DC 12-volt cigarette lighter adapter directly into the vehicle or do you run it into your Ecoflow Delta 2 max. Or are you running it using the AC adapter plugged into the Delta 2 max.
