The best compressor refrigerator containers for the car

The Yeticool BX40 mini-fridge with compressor control is a good solution for traveling by car, and if necessary, the model will serve as a portable food storage in the country or outdoors.

Inside one single refrigerator compartment with a volume of 38 liters, up to 57 cans of soft drinks in 0.33 liter containers, 28 plastic bottles with a capacity of 0.5 liters or 15 bottles of wine are placed. The target temperature in the unit chamber is supposed to be set using buttons and the info screen. And via Bluetooth network you can connect to the device from mobile devices.

The compressor of the car refrigerator pumps and maintains low temperatures down to -20 °C. The model is powered from a cigarette lighter socket or a stationary outlet. The optional external battery can maintain the temperature inside the refrigerator at +5 °C for about 22 hours. The battery must be purchased separately.

Among the useful things , the Yeticool BX40 has a backlight for the refrigerator compartment, a USB connector for recharging dead mobile gadgets, and transport wheels. With such rich equipment, the model is ready to compete with its more venerable counterparts in the compressor auto-refrigerator shop, and at the same time it will cost an order of magnitude cheaper than the promoted brand offers.

The Alpicool TW35 portable refrigerator will come in handy during road trips, sailing on a yacht, and will serve as a sure purchase for camping.

The model belongs to the category of compressor auto-refrigerated containers with a “inside” capacity of 35 liters. The device has two independent compartments, for each of which the temperature can be adjusted separately. This can be done by tapping on the touch buttons, focusing on the LCD display, or from a smartphone or tablet via the Alpicool mobile application(via Bluetooth network).

The refrigerator is capable of freezing food down to a temperature of -20 °C. In total, the model provides two main cooling modes: ECO for long-distance travel, when economical energy consumption is a priority, and MAX for quick freezing. The upper temperature threshold is +20 °C. For easy access to the contents, the refrigerator has internal lighting in the chambers. The model remains operational when placed at an angle of up to 45°.

Alpicool TW35 comes with a small cutting board, for which there is a slot inside the top cover, and in the outer part of the top panel of the device there are cup holders. The refrigerator is supposed to be powered from 12/24 V on-board vehicle networks, a standard 230 V household outlet, a removable battery or a solar panel. The last two options are additional cost options. The model was also equipped with a USB port for charging mobile gadgets.

The MOBICOOL MCF32 compressor refrigerator will serve for convenient storage and transportation of food supplies on the road, outdoors or in the country.

The model is manufactured in the form factor of a plastic container with a removable top lid. The working chamber of the mini-fridge has a capacity of about 31 liters and can take 1 liter bottles on board in a standing position. LED interior lighting helps you see all contents clearly even in complete darkness.

Under the influence of the compressor drive, freon spreads through the “veins” of the refrigerator. The working chamber of the device can be pumped and maintained at temperatures down to -10 °C. The operation of the auto-refrigerator is controlled by a button panel with an information display. The model also includes a turbo cooling mode for quickly increasing low temperatures.

The refrigerator runs from the cigarette lighter socket of cars and trucks (12 V and 24 V, respectively). A power cord is connected to a separate connector on board the model for power supply from a standard household electrical outlet of 230 V. In terms of ergonomics, it is also worth mentioning the folding side handles equipped with the car refrigerator for easy carrying of the 11.4-kilogram case.

When it comes to car refrigerators, associations immediately emerge with the Dometic Waeco brand - a real guru in this area. His thoughtful solutions appealed to many motorists. A clear confirmation of this is the compressor model of the container form factor CFF 35.

The unit with a useful internal volume of 30 liters has a single-chamber layout. The main compartment of the refrigerator occupies the entire depth of the body, and a little additional space is provided by a small basket above the compressor part of the “filling”. The refrigerator compartment of the device is illuminated by an internal lighting system for easy visual access to the contents.

The temperature in the refrigerator is set in the range from +10 °C to -18 °C, for which a push-button control panel with an info display is used. The unit cover opens in both directions and, if necessary, can be removed completely. You can get food and drinks from the refrigerator compartment without the slightest hassle.

Dometic Waeco CFF 35 supports operation in automotive networks with a supply voltage of 12/24 V and in standard household electrical networks of 100 - 240 V. At the same time, the model constantly monitors the state of charge of the car battery, preventing it from being discharged to zero. You can take the refrigerator with you on trips, so that you always have a supply of provisions on the road, or you can put it at the dacha during the summer season. The unit will also be an excellent purchase for picnics with friends and family.

EcoFlow is a well-known manufacturer of portable charging stations. However, her portfolio also includes very atypical devices. For example, the battery-powered mobile refrigerator EcoFlow Glacier.

The unit operates in the same way as classic refrigerators - a 120-watt compressor is located inside the model, and freon R600a is used as a refrigerant. In Max performance mode, the empty freezer compartment of the device is cooled from 30 °C to 0 °C in approximately 15 - 20 minutes. The minimum temperature inside the refrigerator is maintained at -25 °C. The 38 liter chamber can be used as a single unit or divided in half with independent temperature settings for each resulting compartment.

A built-in ice maker is hidden under a separate lid on the top panel of the mini-fridge. Ice cubes for quickly cooling drinks are formed in it in literally 12 minutes. The device is controlled by a button panel with a screen, and via Bluetooth it is possible to control the unit’s status and change settings through the EcoFlow App mobile application.

The most remarkable thing about the model is that it runs on a built-in 298 Wh battery. A full battery charge lasts approximately 24 hours. The battery is charged from the on-board vehicle network, household sockets, EcoFlow charging stations or from solar panels. From the same battery you can charge mobile devices through the contact group of the USB type C connector with an output power of up to 100 W. Due to the presence of an autonomous power source, the refrigerator turned out to be very heavy (23 kg assembled), so for ease of transportation it was equipped with transport wheels.
