I wish you had talked about getting it into "Advanced Mode" to change Celsius to Fahrenheit, or to set the power turn off feature for battery security. I have followed the instructions to the letter and it just does not work on this ICECO GO20 model. Mine even came with it in Fahrenheit mode, it was supposed to default to Celsius. I did not try the app, I wanted to know how to do this from the machine itself. But the cooler does work fine otherwise, and it is very quiet and does seem well built. I just wonder if I received a used one.

@@Jasonoid Hi Jason - Thanks for the fast response!! During our covid era, I took advantage of time during the shutdown by making homemade ice cream and sorbet. When we do these types of things at home, quality of the material makes as a general rule something better than you can buy at the market. My friends as I have shared my creations have been losing their minds in envy. I have a Tesla model 3. There is a storage compartment located in the truck. Given the Go20 dimensions, the trunk compartment space should allow a perfect fit with adequate airflow. With the 12 volt connection this works to be a good thing.. Now during the holiday with the small freezer, I can visit socially distanced and dropping off ice cream/sorbet to my clients and friends. It is my great experiment. Thanks again.. Very helpful review - much appreciated.

It’s a beautiful product and great for personal use but it is too small for me. If you have different shape bottles it’s hard to fit that much. But a very nice product. Cheers.

Thinking of getting a battery bank to power some of these electric fridges because when my car is off, there is no power to keep them cold. I have an Iceco VL60ProS and am getting one of these GO20’s because the VL60 is so huge and heavy. What would be a good size battery to handle either of those fridges for when the car is off overnight?

I run my Iceco off of a Ecoflow river pro 720 KW solar "generator". so on my first extended trip - I put in the 20 Q ICECO fridge freezer ran it at 35 degrees temp, , My Ecoflow will power it for 10 hours at night, with only losing about 12% charge in the box. I do have one big complaint - and that's with the Iceco refrigerator. even though the temp was set at 35 degrees, the readout showed the temp varying between 29 degrees and 39 degrees - that kind of temp swing (if it was really happening) is not the best scenario for keeping food cold and fresh. I tried looking at the settings - looking for some sort of tolerance range setting, but could not find any - either on the control panel on the fridge, or in the app .

I think the temps inside swing the most depending on how full the fridge is. Do you have a fridge thermometer inside showing the actual temp? The actual temp inside shouldn't vary that much VS what the display is showing.

Hello Jason, The first video u did with ur father in law about all the fridg/freezer he had got me interested in the Iceco go20. I did just bought one in white. I was wondering about the temperature sensor on urs, does your temp gauge flexuate from the set setting? I'm testing mine inside on my Jackery 1000. Not on the road yet. I mainly plan on using the iceco go20 as a freezer. After letting the unit run for a while & setting at zero, I then fill the freezer 3/4 full with already frozen meat. The temperature seems to go from zero a few minutes then goes to 2 or up to 11F. Is that normal operation, do u know? I thought the temp would stay zero until I open the freezer to take something out. I hv a temperature gauge inside the iceco go20 and both reading matches. My meat stays frozen however. So it appears to be working. I also hv insulated cover on the iceco but left the vets open for airflow. Maybe the unit is not great for freezer use only and or that's the nature of the sensor letting me know its sence the temp has risen, but why? Thanks u for ur help, Lee

@Jasonoid

Hey Li, the fridge temperature swing is normal, my GO20 also swings a bit. As long as it stays within the "freezer range" your food will be safe.

Is there a eco mode on this fridge?

@Jasonoid

2 жыл бұрын

This fridge has an "auto" eco mode. If the temps gets far from the set point it jumps to max mode. If the temp is near the setpoint it uses eco mode. I think it's pretty cool.

I understand the unit will use more power in freezer mode. But in freezer mode will it use more amp draw. Another question will it cool down to 0 degrees using it as a freezer only without the divider?

No, the compressor just runs longer in freezer mode. Same amount of Amp draw, just cycles more frequently. I haven't tried running it that low personally, I'm guessing it wouldn't have an issue holding 10 degrees F.
