About Alpicool C9PT Mini Portable Freezer
Overall Feedback:
92% positive
86% liked its sturdy construction, but 14% found it flimsy.
I was satisfied with the product on the first day of use.
The product works properly even after using it for close to a year now. It freezes properly and draws over 35W, which is amazing.
The cooler is difficult to fit things into. Even if tall items fit, they need to be away from the sides of the cooler or the lid won't shut. If the lid is shut, it will crush my carton of milk, leaving me with half-frozen milk plastered to the sides.
Once the product loses power, things start to melt quickly and it is not well insulated.
93% praised its impressive cooling performance, but 7% found it struggled to keep things cold.
I was impressed with the cooler's efficiency and performance.
The product has a compressor and can cool to -4 degrees.
The fridge only cools down when the internal temperature reaches 42-44F, which is concerning for storing perishable items like meats, dairy, or medication.
I have noticed that the refrigerator's cooling performance has gradually decreased over time. It never got cold enough to work as a freezer and the temperature inside the refrigerator kept getting warmer and warmer until it wasn't cooling at all.
87% appreciated the easy cleaning, though 13% found it a hassle.
The fridge/freezer has no issues with bumps or non-level surfaces.
The cooler is difficult to clean and use. It can crush cartons of milk, leaving them half-frozen and plastered to the sides.
94% found it easy to install and set up
I took a chance on buying this product and loved it. I even bought another one to use as a refrigerator.
84% praised its quiet operation, while 16% found it too loud.
The coolers sit right next to my bunk and are so quiet that I don't hear them at all.
The fridge/freezer does not make any noise even on bumps or non-level surfaces.
The noise level of the product is so low that I cannot hear it running with the truck shut off and myself in the bunk for the night.
The noise level of the product is super annoying while driving on the road. It also clunks even when I am not hitting bumps.
92% liked its lightweight and portable design
I use this fridge/freezer in my 18 wheeler, indicating its portability.
I bought the product 2 months ago as a freezer and loved it so much that I bought another one to use as a refrigerator.
I like that it is portable and has a cigarette lighter plug.
86% appreciated its energy efficiency, though 14% found it drained the car's battery.
I was impressed with the efficiency and performance of the cooler, despite its small size.
I noticed that the device is currently running on max and drawing 44w. I switched to eco mode and it is now drawing 29w. The compressor kicks on and off and it fluctuates a bit.
I switched the device to eco mode and it is now drawing 29w, while previously it was running on max and drawing 44w. The compressor kicks on and off, causing some fluctuations.
I have noticed that this fridge consumes 35-45 watts while running and is less efficient than other units on the market.
88% liked the ample storage space, while 12% found it too cramped.
I purchased the 21Q model and it holds 15 16.9oz Pepsi bottles, which is exactly what I was looking for.
It took three days to freeze the gel packs in the fridge at room temperature, even though it was only about 1/3 full.
93% praised its precise temperature control, but 7% found it inconsistent.
Sometimes I need to turn it off because it gets too cold or adjust the temperature control.
In about an hour, the temperature dropped from 70 degrees to 36 degrees.
My refrigerator never got cold enough to work as a freezer and gradually the temperature inside kept getting warmer until it wasn't cooling at all.
I have two major issues with the unit - efficiency and the timing for when the fridge kicks on to cool. If I set the fridge to 38, it usually won't turn on to cool things back down until the unit is showing an internal temperature of 42-44F.
