BougeRV 12v refrigerator 30 Quart, -8℉~50℉ Portable Freezer for Car, Black

This cooler has been with us for 2years. We have taken it on multiple day trips, weekend trips and rv trips. It has kept our drinks cold, outside, in 113degree days. The fig works equally good on either 120 or the 12 volt. Would definitely recommend buying this cooler. I do sometimes wish it was a bit bigger but honestly the size is perfect.

This little cooler is great. I purchased it to take camping so we would have a way to keep drinks cold outside without having to buy ice every day. Worked amazing. The unit cooled down super quick when I plugged it in for the first time and kept temperature all week. Even sitting outside under the picnic table it had no issue running at all. Fit great in my Pacificas trunk for back and forth travel.

Love no longer needing ice on travel days! The size fits behind my truck seat without having to raise the back seat. It keeps things cool without power for several hours

Used this on one cross country trip so far. Gets cold super fast and uses very little power. It looked kinda small inside when I first got it but it holds more than I thought. Very pleased.

We headed out on a 15 day road trip. I hymned and hawed about spending the money on this cooler, best decision I made. No stopping for ice or no draining the cooler. It’s kept cool with no issues. It said to let it sit for 12th after taking it out of the box before plugging in, I let it sit for 3hrs. I was leaving the next day and needed to make sure it worked because it was delivered upside down and who knows how fed-ex treated it. It has been great the whole time no issues. I highly recommend this unit! We have been so grateful for it!

works great but it seems small inside, i thought 30 qts wd be a little bigger... only used it twice and so far it's worked just fine but doesn't hold as much as i thought it would

We used this refrigerator on a family trip. Plugged in to 115v outlet in my truck and in the house we rented as an extra place to keep bottles of water. Would highly recommend if you are on a budget. • Held the temperature well when filled with cold cans and bottles even when powered off and in a hot car. If empty or not full can struggle to maintain temperature. • Fit great between the rear seat and the passenger seat of my truck. • Size made it manageable to move around, though the handle design leaves a lot to be desired. If this refrigerator was full of cans I could see carrying it being difficult for some due to the shallow recessed hand holds. • So far the durability seems good. Was mostly kept in the rear floor of the truck or in the house. The LCD screen seems thin and flimsy but the rest of the body seems to be made of a durable plastic or aluminum. • Refrigerator was versatile enough to keep everything from sodas, beer, cheese, fruits and sandwiches cold during our trips.

After taking a road trip with my brother who had a 4 year old, identical(but different brand) cooler in the 26 quart size, I knew I had to get one. We were on the road for 4 days and his cooler was on 24-7 set to 34 degrees. I felt inadequate with my overpriced W@lmart branded Y3di, plus the ice block things at $24.00 each, I had $60.00 more invested in my cooler than he did in his, and I was done cooling after about 18 hours. After tons of research and knowing that I was mainly concerned with keeping drinks cold, in particular tall, one gallon water jugs. I did not want to waste any storage space on a silly tray side that was only 1 or 2 inches deep. I wanted the entire cooler to be one big space, I settled on the 30 qt. model of the BougeRV. It comes delivered on it's side (amazon outer box has arrows pointing UP but the BougeRV box inside is on it's side - which is really dumb). I let it sit about 5 hours upright (it was 90 degrees when it was delivered so the oil in the compressor is very warm and thin, that is plenty of time for it to settle back in the bottom). Any Amazon products I buy that use electricity, I plug them in as soon as I get them and run them a lot. I will run this cooler 24-7 for the first 30 days or until I'm outside of the return window. Too many reviews of people using things one time or not at all until they're outside of that window. Anyway, back to the review. Fired it up in my shop which was about 85 degrees inside the display on the cooler said 88 which is probably accurate as it had been riding around in the amazon truck all day. I set the desired temp to 32 and at the 15 minute mark it was around 50. It reached desired temps at about 30 minutes. I changed the desired temp to -8 and it took another 30 minutes to achieve -8. I then set the temp to 31, put it in Low, ECO and put several two-liter drink bottles in it and turned in for the night. I checked it first thing this morning, and as you can see in the pics, drinks were all around 31.3-32.5. If I measured on the wall of the cooler where you could see frost, it was 27-29 degrees. I think this might be where some people complain about the differences between temps of what they're measuring and what the display says. I'm only concerned with what the temperature is of the contents. Even so, if there is an offset, learn what it is and adjust accordingly. I would NOT let that keep you from buying this cooler. Lid seal is nice. It appears to have a hidden magnet latch because it latches somehow, you have to pull on it slightly to get it to release and you can hear it snap when it closes. It is whisper quiet. One thing I don't fully understand yet is how the eco mode works. As you can see in one of the pics, it's in eco mode but it is drawing full power. This was after I got home today and opened the cooler for about a minute and removed a drink to top off my travel mug. My assumption is, when the temp drop drastically (like when you open the lid) it goes into full power mode regardless of what setting you've selected until desired temp is restored. Then when the temp goes up a little like 1 degree with the lid closed it cycles on in a reduced power mode because it does run at 35 watts in eco mode after the compressor starts. Start up of any electric motor is a little higher load until is gets up to speed. On max power, I saw 70 watts on start up but eventually settled around 45-47. The only two CONS; I wish it had deeper handles for Man-hands and I wish it had a calibration mode for the temps. I have not witnessed it myself but I saw in several reviews that that is a common thing with other cooler manufacturers so that if it is a big issue for you and say you put a thermometer inside your cooler and it's 5-10 degrees different than the display, you can calibrate the display to match. Not really an issue for me, but I think it would be a plus nonetheless.

3 meses de uso: Había tenido refrigeradores de otras marcas más prestigiosas, así que mis expectativas eran altas. Sin embargo, este producto me ha sorprendido bastante con su calidad. Algunas cosas a remarcar: excelente capacidad de enfriamiento, buena eficiencia de energía, muy silencioso en comparación con otros; suficiente calidad de construcción y estética. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.
