BODEGACOOLER 12 Volt Car Refrigerator,64 Quart Portable Car Freezer Fridge Bluetooth Control,(60L) -4℉-68℉ Electric Cooler 12/24V DC and 100-240V AC for Travel,Camping,RV,Boat Road Trip Tailgating

Absolutely worth every penny! We own two of these portable freezers and use them constantly—for work, travel, beach days, and family outings. They perform flawlessly and are incredibly convenient. The cooling performance is outstanding, they're incredibly practical, and they're so easy to take anywhere. Everything stays perfectly cold. When we had a minor issue with one of them, Customer Care was fantastic. They responded right away and took care of everything quickly. Outstanding product backed by outstanding service. Highly recommend!

We bought this to replace a Peltier-type cooler we had for many years after it finally gave up the ghost. We wanted a compressor-type unit that would: 1. get really cold no matter the outside temp; and 2. would not be a current hog so it could be used with solar panels & a battery when needed. We also wanted something quiet. All three objectives met. We hit the camping trail in Michigan's upper penguin-insula ("Da U.P") for three weeks and left it plugged into the Durango's rear 12V outlet, which is only active when the car runs. To cover out-and-about ignition off-times, I simply filled the lower part of the freezer section with 6 or 8 blue ice blocks for a big thermal mass and set it fairly low. The cooler side was set to 38*F and filled with carbonated water cans. We had ice cold water at all times everywhere we went, (over 1500 miles...) and kept meats and cheese snacks cold in there as well. Kids loved it. At camp we plugged it into an extension cord using the AC power adapter included, so this unit ran nearly 24-7 for three weeks. The small amount of heat generated by the compressor was useful too, as it helped keep my Martin acoustic guitar (in a good case) from getting too cool in the car during nights that often touched 50 degrees. The compressor is whisper-quiet. Only niggle I noticed was the sensitivity of the touch-control panel - it beeps when disturbed and I felt like I could not work anywhere around it without setting it off inadvertently with some random body part. As a result I was often checking the display to make sure I had not accidentally changed a setting. [NOTE TO THE ENGINEERS:] It's a very very minor thing, but perhaps a "lock" function could be set up in the software on future versions such that you have to hold a key (or keys) for several seconds before adjustments can be made. I found the settings to be "set and forget", so locking them once set would just make sense. Seems to be well-made and it way-outperformed the Coleman Peltier-Junction unit it replaced. Freezing the ice blocks solid was never an issue during our trip. I bought the 2-year warranty, so we'll see how it fares on reliability over time. Pleasantly surprised. UPDATE AUG 2024. We took two trips this year with the cooler - one to Florida for spring break to see my parents, and one in July, a 3000-mile camping trip to Maine's Acadia National Park. In both cases the cooler remained inside our 2018 Durango, I just unplugged the unit's 12V cable and plugged in the included power supply's cable instead, and ran it overnight on 120VAC or anytime the car was parked. The Durango shuts power to the 12V lighter plug in the back whenever the car is off for a while, so running the battery down is not a concern. This kept nice cold seltzer water on hand and snacks too during our daily car trips. Still running like a champ. My kids love it as much as I do. Wish I could buy a dehumidifier that was this reliable...

It’s the best cooler I’ve ever had. I can keep it plugged in and on all night without shaking the battery of my FJ Cruiser. It reaches the freezing point easily. Very comfortable. The gate prevents it from taking up much space to open the cooler. The basket is essential. The wheels work very well and save you from having to load the fridge for long trips to the car or home. It’s quiet. and you can connect it to 110V at the hotel or at home if you do not want to leave it plugged in ...

I've had this for a week and put it through its paces. It's great. The temperature setting isn't free of fluctuation even if unopened, but stays within range. In general: Direct Expansion gas compression (DX) is the current best form of freezing on the market today. Absorprion fridges, often used in RVs are limited to ±20°F from abient outside air temperature (OAT) so on a hot day in Arizona it won't keep ice or ice cream usable, and fish and poultry is useless as well. They also have to be kept level to work. THIS unit has a real DX compressor, real gas so the state transitions (liquid to gas absorbing the heat, gas to liquid being compressed after releasing the heat and so on. Give it 8" clearance in the back, 4" on the sides, 12+ VDC to run (it comes with a car adapter and a home voltage adapter).. For car users, set the voltage sensitivity to H (High). It will run when the car is on, and if it doesn't run when the car is off than (you need a new battery for the car and) set it to M (medium) for a lower threshold to shut off. The cooler itself is great. It keeps things cool. It lacks rubber straps to hold the lid tight but the lid handle locks so it's mostly as good. It is NOT an Igloo. It works well enough. It will not maintain the set temperature. i put it at -5°F freezer 34°F fridge. It did freeze my 4oz water, but wentup to 15°F in the freeezer to do it. That's still below the freezing temperature of water, but a 10°F variance is something I'd want to be aware of... except if I'd bought a fridge/freezer where the temp goes from "1-5" and you don't really know what it ever is. This is an improvement. Power utilization is good.. fit and finish is awesome. The lid stays shut. The 110VAC adapter works great. My remaining projects are: 1. Create a "mount" for it in the back seat so it doesn't "walk away" from my truck. 2. Permanently wire it in. The cigarette lighter output is busy with a 3-way Y-adapter, a Valentine 1, a Garmin 5i, and a USB charger for the phone. Would I recommend this to others: YES Would I buy it again: If we get that RV trailer we've been talking about, YES Would I sell it to friends knowing they'll hunt me down if I rip them off: YES If the zombie apocalypse was happening, other than my weapons would I take this: YES If I could DIY make this better: 1. Add insulation. As I said, it's not an igloo, and it cost energy to cool the space. If you're willing to reduce the space and put some foam or other insulation you'll not only save on power, but it will maintain temps great. 2. Layer the food and put some for of clear vinyl between them. Put most used stuff on top. Some of this is "general cooler stuff" but now that you're working a compressor it matters more. That way you're not introducing ambient (hot) air into the cold box. 3. Add a $60 refrigerator icemaker to the freezer side. Feed it water through a tube and a bottle, and feed it electricity... where there is a bit of a problem. You see, fridge replacement icemaker units are $50-$60... but they run on 120VAC. In a car, RV, boat, or aircraft you have 12 or 24VDC. You can use an inverter but there's a huge inefficiency there. So I'm looking to buy one, gut the motor, find a 12VDC motor that does the same job, and mount that in. There's a guy on youtube that mounted an icemaker in his cooler. Youtbe-search it (can't link to it here). The point is that installing an icemaker in a cooler is... well... cool... but installing it in a freezer means your cubes will stay frozen forever. Now if there was only a soda dispenser on top!

Tonya and I bought a new toy this week that I think is gonna find its way onto our "Really Right Stuff" list pretty soon! This is a Bodega Cooler. It's a portable fridge/freezer that runs on a regular AC plugin or a 12v DC car power outlet, formerly referred to as a cigarette lighter plug. The Bodega Cooler comes with cables for either power source. When we were looking at these, We decided to buy the dual zone 64-quart model. I will post my Amazon Affiliate link for this in the first comment on this post. I think the photographs I have made to include with this post do a fair job of showing what you get. Since this is a dual zone model, you can have a freezer on the right side and a fridge on the left. The control panel on the unit allows you to set your temperature appropriately for each section. If you remove the center divider, you only get one set of controls on the panel and you can use it as either a fridge or a freezer for the whole interior in that mode. I did some testing to see how long it takes the cooler to cool down. I made an image here that shows the fridge and freezer temps from 0:00 in ten minute intervals up to the 1 hour mark. It took roughly 50 minutes to get the freezer side down to zero degrees F. You can see in that graphic how long it took to get the fridge side down. Keep in mind that these times were tested from ROOM TEMP with NOTHING in the cooler. If I had put cold stuff in the cooler or prechilled the cooler with an ice block, I have zero doubt that you could nearly cut that time in half if you needed to for some reason. I really like the basket inserts that come with the Bodega Cooler. Those are easy to lift in and out. It will make unloading the cooler from the car into the house as simple as carrying those baskets in and leaving the Bodega Cooler in the car. The wheels on the left side of the cooler make it easy enough to roll the cooler along if it's full and heavy. When it's empty its no problem to pick it up and carry it with the side handles. There is an app you can download (my screen shots here are from that app) that allows you to control the cooler from a simple Bluetooth connection if you want to adjust it from a distance for any reason. The cooler seems to be decently insulated. I could not feel the exterior of the cooler getting cold during the time I had it chilled (five or six hours at temp.) The control panel on the cooler (and in the app) give you some power usage options. You have MAX and ECO modes. MAX mode cools the cooler as fast as possible. The ECO mode uses a little less power and takes a little longer. There is also a HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW setting for "Battery Protection." For the purpose of my testing here, I set the Bodega Cooler to MAX while it was cooling down. When it got to my set temps, I switched it over to ECO mode. For my testing, I also powered the Bodega Cooler with my small Jackery Explorer 240 Portable Power Station. When I started my test this moring at 8:51am, the Jackery was at 91% capacity on the batter. At 1:51pm, five hours later, the Jackery was at 52%. So I used approximately 40% of that battery's capacity over a five hour run. I love this Jackery but I need a larger capacity one and may try to do that later this year. But anyway, I plan to use the Jackery to power this cooler in my car. I have a 12v power source in the back of my Subaru Outback, but the car has to be running for that outlet to be hot. My plan is to plug the Bodega Cooler into the Jackery and then plug the Jackery into the car's 12v power source to keep the battery charged. That will allow me to keep the Bodega Cooler running when the car is off. It's not that often I would need to do that, but having that ability is nice. As I was doing these tests, I was watching how much power the Bodega was pulling from the Jackery battery. In MAX mode when it was cooling down initially, it was pulling between 45 and 55 watts. After I switched it to ECO mode, it was pulling around 25 watts and it was cycling on and off as needed ot keep the unit cold. It wasn't pulling 25 watts constantly. A majority of that 40% of the battery capacity was probably consumed during the first hour. Why do I want/need this? Tonya and I like to shop at Costco, Fresh Market, Whole Foods, and Trader Joes on occasion. I have to travel at LEAST an hour in any direction to get to any of those. This Bodega Cooler will be a lot easier to deal with than a cooler with ice. It will also give me the freezer option if I need it. We also like to take multi-day road trips. This will make that an ice-free experience. I plan to let it live in the back of my car unless I need the space for something else.

UPDATE: Reports of difficulty connecting to phone Bluetooth are accurate. Biggest tip is use the QZsmart app (scanning the QR code was problematic for me as reader kept going to wrong app while searching android play store didn't find the app either) and be on a 2.4Gz network with your phone (also problematic as I forget my 2.4G extender password). But once resolved setup was fairly easy. The app is intuitive and biggest advantage is being able to monitor the cooler while driving to make sure it is working properly in in the cargo area where you can't just glance at it. Otherwise, you might get an unwelcome surprise when you stop somewhere only to find out the cooler was not working. I tested the cooler immediately after delivery with the assumption that the cooler was only transported in the upright position, so maybe these test results are skewed if the refrigerant needs to settle. After 30 minutes on house power: The refrigerator section reached the set temperature of 40 degrees (per the led indicator), although the bottle of water inside only felt cool, not cold. The freezer section reached an indicated 33 degrees of the set temperature of 20 degrees. The bottle of water inside was only cool and no where near freezing. After 60 minutes on house power: The refrigerator section maintained the set temperature of 40 degrees and the bottle of water inside felt chilled enough for a refreshingly cool drink. The freezer section reached the 20 degree set temperature. The bottle of water inside was chilled but still along way from starting to freeze. Moved cooler to idling Tacoma truck bed and plugged into the 110V 400W Max / 100W Min bed outlet. After additional 30 minutes (90 mins total) the cooler display read 40/30 degrees. The outside temperature was 80 degrees and the truck was idling in the sun with cab A/C running. The truck bed has a BakFlip4 cover so the cooler was not in direct sunlight. I'm guessing that at driving speeds the outlet would produce higher watts and the cooler would do better. Moved cooler to idling RAV4 and plugged into 12V/120W cargo outlet for another 30 minutes. The outside temperature was 80 degrees and the RAV was idling in the sun with A/C running. After 30 minutes the temperature was 40/20 degrees. Interesting that the cooler did better with RAV4 12V/120W outlet at idle than the Tacoma 110V bed outlet at idle. Maybe due to cargo area getting A/C benefit. Both bottles of water were very chilled at the end of two hours. The water in the freezer was nowhere near freezing but maybe a little colder than the bottle in the refrigerator side. Guessing that freezing will take 5 to 6+ hours. When camping it will run on a 3500W generator or shore power. No error codes were ever thrown. Overall I'm satisfied. If this cooler operates well for years it will be worth the money.

I have both the 38 quart and 64 quart coolers. One fits in the trunk of my car and the big one for the SUV. Both are great. They get down to temperature quickly and maintain that temp throughout the day with only a couple degrees of variance. The wheels make it easy to move about and they are not overly heavy as I can manage even the larger cooler by myself. These are perfect for road trips. Just remember that most vehicles cut their 12 volt power shortly after shutting down the engine. For that I carry a separate 12 volt lithium battery which can keep the fridge going for almost 24 hours. Also perfect if your grocery shopping and are going to be away from home for hours. I highly recommend this fridge

I bought this cooler so we could expand our capacity to carry more food as our fridge and freezer in the trailer is not quite large enough when we are traveling in remote areas with two 15 year old boys. I really liked that I could carry quite a bit more frozen as well as items that only needed refrigeration. For two weeks I could keep one side at 21 degrees and the other at 36. We were in the desert and the average afternoon temperature was around 90 for most of the trip. The cooler was outside most of the time. I would say it worked completely up to my expectations. The capacity was more than I expected also. Saved having to buy ice every couple of days. I took the time to set up two 12 volt outlets one inside and one outside. Never experienced any significant battery issues. The cooler actually cooled faster on 12 volt than 110.

コスパ良し。普通に2年使えてます

Creo que aislamiento térmico de la nevera no está bien le faltaría un poco más de aislamiento. Por lo demás funciona correcto congela y enfría adecuadamente

Good frige freezer. Works well for 2 years

Tutto quello che cercavo!!!! Frigorifero da auto/camion perfetto. Velocissimo nel raggiungere la temperatura desiderata, silenziosissimo, robusto e facilmente trasportabile. Utilizzando il divisorio interno, le due temperature (facilmente modificabili sia con app da cellulare che da pannello posto sul lato del frigo) sono settabili molto facilmente e affidabili. Funzionalità perfetta sia a 24 V che a 12 V. Insomma non avrei chiesto di meglio.

First 2 weeks was awsem, now i keeps making a loud bang every 2 minits when it starts cooling. I dont know if i got a broken one or that this is normal. If i got a broken one, thats sucks but without the loud bang this thing would be awsem
