    I wanted the freezer so I could freeze the hard plastic ice packs, then, put them in a cooler to keep my food cold without the food getting soggy from melting ice. A refrigerator needs to be running all of the time using up energy. The 10 Quart freezer can sit on the front seat and only needs to run every other day or so, when I need to refreeze the ice packs.

    Brother thank you so much for the vid. I moved to a new city, my roommate died and the family kicked me out, so I find myself crashing in the caravan. I liken it to jumping in a cold pool, its a shock but you enviably acclimate. I live in Florida so heat is an issue. Im planning on using the fridge as a dual purpose device and turning it into a AC unit as well as a fridge. Plan to put a trans radiator inside and run cold water to a trans radiator outside with a pair of usb fans. May also line the fridge with aluminum for maximum temp transfer. I use a bluetti power station with a harbor freight solar pannel, which has about 230 ah, so i think this will work great. I tried a ice maker which pulled 200 watts and did nothing for cooling, so again thank you so much for the vid. The whole experience has brought me closer to God. I hope my story does the same for you. With all the craziness going on in the world right now, it doesn't hurt to make peace with your maker...ya dig. Thanks again.

    It reminds of the old timy RV refridge that took over night to get cool and keep stuff cool. As a 12v option to you really expect it to make blocks of ice? Or do you just want to be able to take stuff to the beach and keep it cold. Once cold stuff is in it, the temp will stabilize somewhat to make it even more useful.

    With summer coming up, I’m not pervious of keeping a cooler with ice all the time and say I take a turn a bit too hard and there goes all the melted ice and drinks all over my car trunk. I’d rather keep something like this to keep drinks cool, not necessarily to freeze stuff, but it does seem to keep stuff frozen. so in order to keep things frozen, it’s important to keep this in mind say in a camping trip or at the beach.

    I have the Alpicool brand. Same thing like you said, but I opted for the larger unit that has a domed lid so it can take larger bottles and you can stand them up! Everything else is the same! BTW, that USB charger port is a joke. If I plug my phone into it, the power shuts off. Not the fridge, just the USB power. It can do barely an amp! I never tried to see just how cold it can get, but I read once if you use the ºC setting, it's more accurate? It is a nice unit though.

    Your tem gauge is incorrect. Water freezes at 0, but your gauge say 10 ... not possible unless the laws of physics differ inside this coolbox! Physics also dictates that cool air sinks, this is why they cool the upper part of the box, so they don't have to cool all the boix at once. Well, I guess it is a budget cooler.

Wait at least an hour before you molest the process(open the door). Add additional hours if needed. Ideally, having a wireless thermometer to monitor temps.
