Alpicool C9 9L Compressor Car Fridge Freezer, DC 12v Camping Refrigerator, Portable Mini Cool Box for TruckCampervanRVBoat, -20℃ to 20℃ [Energy Class B]

Firstly a disclaimer, I have only had this a short time so no idea as to its longevity albeit other reviewers have done successful long term tests. The unit is compact and well put together with no nonsense plastics, the lid fits snugly and nothing rattles or wobbles. The instructions are simple and concise so easily followed. Mains lead and 12 volt adapter appear good quality and both work without issue. On switching on you get a hum and the sound of a pump in operation with some gurgling of the coolant and that's it, no whine or grating sounds. This unit is not silent, as no compressor fridge can be, but it's very quiet for this price point. The operation is quite amazing, I used a high quality thermometer inside to test the programmed temperatures and they were spot on. This little machine got down to -15c within 45 minutes and retained this for as long as I had it switched on. That is quite an achievement and most impressive. The eco mode works well as do the battery saving levels. All in this is an excellent fridge/freezer box for the money and I look forward to testing it on camping trips and day runs. Well worth considering if you are in the market.

I keep this in the back of my car. It cools down quickly when in use and is great for just sticking some shopping in while I’m out and about all day.It’s very versatile. I use for just drinks day to day but also if we go camping I just remove from the car and plug into the hook up instead.The Bluetooth app is excellent too. If I’m concerned it’s getting really hot in the car or I want to check it hasn’t lost it’s power supply when camping I can just check it’s temp on the app and adjust accordingly, or just use the control panel on the unit.I haven’t used to freeze anything yet but it seems very capable.The oversized lid is a great feature too. You can really stack up drinks or stand up milk if you need to. If you managed to have a spill or need to clean out the fridge it is fully sealed and you can wipe it out easily.

I don't write as many reviews as I should but this is a great. We had a trip planned from the UK to spain some 2700 miles, we wanted to take some food, and wine for the trip, and a cool box with freezer packs wouldn't work. This ia not just a cool box it's a compressor fridge, comes with mains and 12 volt lead, sat it on the back seat of the car and controlled /checked on it with it's bluetooth app, with it really doesn't mention but works really well. It's light when empty, and has moulded side handles. Fits great in the hotel room as is quiet. You could pay £800 for a dometic fridge. Easy to use and gets to temperature, which if you wand to change from F to C very easy in the app, not so easy on the fridge. I hope it lasts. I'm going to use it also in the garden for the barbeque, and take it on trips. Highly recommend

If you're looking for a small but effective fridge-freezer which actually works rather than claims to, then this is worth considering.We've owned a larger C20 for a couple of years now and it's worked reasonably well, being able to switch from fridge to freezer by simply adjusting the desired temperature. This is exactly the same but smaller, and its compact size and low weight is why we bought it for our campervan.Its 9 litre volume is smaller than you think however and you can't fit much in it beyond a few drinks cans or a small selection of chilled goods. It can only take a two pint carton of milk if laid down (risky) and the same goes for a couple of beer bottles. It's easy to carry though and doesn't take up much room, the lid closes firmly with positive action, and the inclusion of both 230V mains and 12V cigarette lighter power cords provides versatility.We run this from a Bluetti EB70 portable power station when we're on the road and in eco mode the fridge draws 25-35 watts depending upon how much it's cooling. It takes less than a hour to reach -20 degrees Celsius from switch-on, and when it's reached the desired temperature the whisper-quiet compressor draws intermittently, with so little power being consumed between bursts that the Bluetti doesn't register the demand.I've deducted a star because the price can seem expensive for what it is compared to larger models, but deals occasionally pop up so you can grab a bargain. If you accept the size limitations and see this as a great little mini fridge for overnight/weekend camping or for a bedroom/living room/emergency back-up then it does a good job.

Firstly the item was delivered promptly so kudos to Amazon for their good customer service in getting this delivered.I bought this because my absorption fridge was just killing my battery in my campervan when off grid and it was cutting my trips away short because after two days I would need to hook up.The item is a small fridge freezer. My plan was to use freezer blocks to rotate in a cool bag to keep my food cool and to cut down on the amount of electricity it uses.In the two weeks I haven’t driven anywhere and I’m off grid and I still have 100 % battery power. The freezer blocks are still frozen and is running at -16. The real test will be in autumn/ winter months with very little sunlight.The app is fantastic in checking the status without having to move everything to get to it when I don’t need to access it.I’m actually considering removing the absorption fridge and adding another one of these. Still debating but all in all I’m a happy bunny. Just wished I got one of these in the first place. 😁
