Honestly straight to the point answered every question I had, one of the best reviews I've seen on any product

Top notch videos with in-depth reviews. I appreciate you, sir. Keep them coming.

i suggested this to them about 5 yrs ago. also a 40volt one. glad to see its out.

Very good review, great video! Thanks!

thanks for the demo and info, have a great day

I found the exact cooler this is a rebrand of: the Alpicool MT25. Alpicool sells adapters to use Milwaukee, Makita, and Dewalt batteries. It's about $300; the Ryobi markup is outrageous. If someone could make a 3d print file to adapt Ryobi batteries to the Alpicool version, that would be awesome.

Great review. I have wanted one since I first saw the plans for the design. I like the idea of not having to take ice along but for the price of $500.00 I think it's a bit high.

Same. I bought a BougeRV 30 quart for $210 and use Ryobi inverters

Great review. The problem with tall bottles around the inside edge hitting the lid is common on all of these coolers. It's a shame that when connected to AC power it doesn't charge the batteries. It's also sad that they used the hard-to-find power plug common on many of these DC cooler/freezers, but I suppose there are so many in use now that they would have gotten flack for using something else. I think I will stick with my F40C4TMP which runs just fine from the 18V batteries with a buck converter or the Ryobi DC power adapter like you demonstrated. Thanks for laying out the cash and sharing with everyone.

Nice job. Thanks

The battery cut-off voltage setting (at least medium and high) would be useful if you were using a LiFePO4 battery for your source.

Amazing!

I'll wait for this to show up in a future DTO 40% off sale. 😆

Ok but 4 hours at 35 degrees in direct sun at 85 with 1 battery is AMAZING. so 2 batteries at 45 degrees in the shade should easily last a work day. The weight kinda makes it tough for construction workers to add to there personal arsenal. But a crew with it added to the decor of a truck and a dedicated extension cord seems totally worth it

Great review and looks like a great product but $500 for a portable fridge? Ryobi is reaching.

Great review 👍 the freezer is too small and cost too much! I don't know what Ryobi executives and staffs are thinking 🤔

For $500 it had better be coming with one of those 9Ah batteries and the ability to recharge them in-place. It's nifty, but it's missing far too much functionality to be cost effective at this price point.

Worx sell a rebrand of this in the UK. Currently on sale in their ebay uk store for £143. Around 7 days left on offer. Looks identical to me. That one doesnt come with batteries either. I get my Worx batteries from buying their powertools in their ebay sales that they seem to have every 2 or 3 months, much cheaper than buying the batteries on their own.

You know for $150 a battery and only getting 180wh. Your better off buying a 12v lithium 100 ah for $320. Then at that point you would probably go for 12volt cooler at half that price.

I think this is marketed to people who already have Ryobi batteries and want portability

Why wouldn't they make use of the 40V line. I guess I can run it with the 40V power station....

@CapitanDart

Жыл бұрын

Because they made it to run on about 14v so it can be powered by the battery and the car without having to convert the power. If it ran on 40v they would have to put more electronics to make the step down. They where already going to have to do a converter brick for the household power either way. Ryobi only markets the 40v line only as outdoor power tools such as lawn care and the 18v line is for everything.

@@1LowSeventy3 I didn't say anything about size being a problem. Also not sure how they would add in a "small board" without adding extra stuff as you put it. There is also inherit loss in converting the power instead of using equipment rated for 40v. I would think it boils down to them making a choice to support the much much larger 18v line instead of the smaller more geared to outdoor power equipment 40v line.
