BougeRV 12V Refrigerator CRPRO 30QT, -8°F~50°F, Portable 12V Fridge, Black

If I could give this 10 stars I would. Who would have thought that a 12 volt refrigerator freezer could be this great and efficient. The inverter compressor is very quiet constantly adjusting is speed to efficiently use power. The most this device pulls is 2.5amps or 37 watts. It can easily flash freeze by dropping the temperature down to -8 F. I never have to waste my money on ice again. The fact that you don’t need ice means that you don’t need as large of a cooler. I fit more in this than my 55 gallon Coleman because I don’t need ice. I take it everywhere. If you plug it in and pre-cool it to zero and then take it on the road with the battery it will keep stuff at 30 degrees about 10 hours on a charge. Get the insulated cover it makes a huge difference in battery life. Without the cover it’s about 50% less efficient on battery power. I bought 2 batteries so I can keep Italian ices in it at -4 degrees all day. It’s always great to bring a meat freezer with you when you buy ice cream in the summer. You can get it home without it melting. It isn’t too heavy even with food in it. It’s easy to transport because its size is very manageable. I love the fact that it keeps your settings when you swap batteries. The interior has a wonderful lighting system that works just like a regular refrigerator. If they can make just one improvement it would be to have the battery just slide in. The cigarette lighter plug really holds tight into the battery making it difficult to pull out to remove battery. Other than that one tiny gripe this is truly the best gadget ever invented. I most definitely will buy a bigger one next year for use in my yard for party’s because it keeps stuff real cold even opening and closing a lot. It comes with a real nice set of accessories like a car power cord and a shorter cord for the battery.

We bought one of these car refrigerators/coolers for a 24 day cross-country trip and it was awesome. I would highly recommend buying the battery that goes with it. We had it plugged in in the car during the day as we were driving around. If we made short stops of an hour or two we didn’t bother to put the battery on it because it still stayed pretty cool but for overnight when we parked at a hotel or something like that we would plug the battery into it so we didn’t have to clean it out and bring the food into the hotel. Then when we were driving again during the day we would have the battery charging. It was a great system and made it so much easier to pack lunch foods and breakfast drinks and yogurt and things like that so we weren’t spending money and buying junk food along the way too much. I would just warn that you make sure you have the cords plugged all the way in before heading in for the night and leaving it on the battery

We've been using this for about a year, about once-twice a month and then for 1.5 weeks straight. Powered it with an Ecoflow delta 2, and then had that plugged into a 12v outlet in the back of our 4runner setup. Works great overall. Some things to note: -temperature setting seems to fluctuate 2-4 degrees, not a big deal for our use case. -power consumption is better than expected, we were able to get 10 days straight on our ecoflow delta 2 in moderate outdoor temperatures (50-70F) keeping it at ~38degreesF. Maybe 1hr of 12v battery charging in there only. -size is perfect for us. Fits a lot of stuff and exterior fits super snug behind a 5th gen 4runner front seat. The top of the cooler is just below the 2nd row when folded down which worked perfect for our camper setup. -Relatively quiet. wasn't a bother. -It helps A TON for intial cooling to put things that are already cooled into the cooler. Putting room temp items in and then turning it on will take a very long time to cool down, but this is with any fridge/cooler not unique to this product. -As a normal cooler (unpowered), there are obviously better options. Overall this is great value for money and I would buy it again.

I liked this device unfortunately the Bluetooth never worked which was one of the reasons why I returned it although I forgot to say it. I really wanted to be able to keep an eye on it. That said it did maintain temperature it did cool quickly and it’s tall enough for a wine bottle if you want to keep dating in mind. I like the product I just wasn’t sure it was working right and well enough for me.

This is my second peaches of this cooler. My husband and I are truck driver and have used it daily as a FREEZER for 3 years without any issues. I recently had to come off the truck due to being pregnant and bought this second one to keep my snacks and drinks cold due to be on a restrictive diet due to GB. If any truckers are thinking about making this picture do it! It is absolutely worth every penny. We have bought other brands that have failed within months of being in the truck. I never have to worry about losing temp with this cooler. It stays for us at a cool 5 degrees and holds our meats while on the road. It may seem small but actually fits quite a bit of food if you bag items. Even more if you vacuum seal, but I ain’t got time for that. This is a cooler that will last for years and won’t fail you.

We bought this for a week long road trip and for future camping trips. It was a bit of an investment but we also picked up the compatible battery and the insulating cover for it. Wow, we have been extremely impressed so far! We put a thermometer in it the week before our trip and it seemed to hold steady and accurately to what it said the temp was. I felt comfortable bringing my expensive medication that needed refrigeration. We were able to have everything we needed for making sandwiches on the road for lunches, put some other snacks and things that needed to stay cool. While we traveled, it was kept in the trunk of the car, with the cigarette plug in. When we stopped, we would bring it into the hotel and plug in the wall plug adapter. My husband would normally have carried it in because I’m smaller, but he just had shoulder surgery. I was able to easily pick it up and bring it back and forth between our hotel rooms and the car easily. Hopeful to see how well it holds up but absolutely worth it, being able to have a good mini fridge and freezer if we need it. He still was at that stage where he might have needed to keep icing his shoulder, which is one reason we wanted the freezer capability. Very handy for traveling! My only wish might be that the fridge was separate from the freezer compartments so one could have both simultaneously but still have the same amount of space. The cover does need to be bigger as it barely fits, no matter how much you tug and pull. Great investment for us though!

I received my cooler. I read the instructions about not starting it up, but letting it set for up to 12 hours for the compressor oil to settle. After waiting I plugged it into a house outlet. It powered right up. I adjusted the setting and waited for the cooler to cool. An hour later it has not cooled. I adjusted the battery to low and tried the eco setting and the max setting. I then tried a hard reset. Still not cooling. Thinking that it could be a bad 110 cord I then took it to my truck and tried the cigarette lighter. It didn't even power up. I then called BougeRV support line. The lady was helpful and said that the proper department will call me back ASAP. After 5 hours I called back and another support team person said that I would get an email in approx 24 hours. I also contacted Amazon to initiate a return. I was told that once I shipped it back that it will take approx 30 days to get it checked in and a refund started. That is super disappointing as I have to wait a month to get the money back on my card so that I can then reselect another cooler.

I cant say enough good things about this cooler. It fits in my V-Berth in my C-Dory boat perfectly. It can make ice but my fav thing is it produces "screamers" - which are very very cold beers. Even crap beer can taste good when that cold on a hot summer day. It is very electrically efficient and quiet too. No more buying multiple bags of ice, soggy food and cleaning up the water later. I was a Yeti guy before this one, but although Yeti can KEEP ice, this thing MAKES it for less money than many of their larger coolers. Without the need for ice, you can use ALL the room for food and drinks. BougeRV has a winner here.
