About BougeRV 12 Volt Refrigerator, CRPRO 30 Quart 12V Car Fridge
Overall Feedback:
90% positive
85% liked its sturdy construction
I have owned 5 12v fridges before and the build quality of this one seems great.
The cooler material is plastic but sturdy, and the matt black finish is elegant and simple.
The refrigerator feels premium, well-built, and sturdy, and should last for a while if not lifetime.
91% praised its impressive cooling performance
The cooler works great with my Ecoflow and quickly adjusts to low wattage from regular room temperature.
85% appreciated the easy cleaning
The compartment looks easy to clean and is nice and deep.
I can easily clean the product by wiping it down.
82% found it easy to install and set up, while 18% struggled with the process.
I found it better to install the cooler myself than to return the unit, and the customer service was responsive.
I had to start the van every day initially to prevent the product from draining the battery.
82% praised its quiet operation, while 18% found it too loud.
The fans are quiet and produce a hum similar to a laptop or PC. On max mode, they are a bit louder.
The e-cooler is fairly quiet, but you can definitely tell when the compressor is on with a little humming.
The cooler makes a high pitch squealing noise. If all 3 make this noise, its probably just how they are. If youre not sensitive to high pitch noises, youd probably never hear it but it sounds like a ringing in your ear or like a dog whistle.
92% liked its lightweight and portable design
The powerpack can be used as a middle man between the car's accessory port and the fridge, which is useful for car owners whose cars shut down the accessory port when turned off. The powerpack picks up during that time and charges the battery while powering the fridge when the car is turned back on.
I throw it in the back of my Jeep with food and drinks, indicating its portability.
The product is portable with a DC 12 V car plug and a 110V transformer.
I bought the product for Boondocking, which implies its portability.
90% appreciated its energy efficiency
I am satisfied with the power efficiency of the fridge as it is able to keep the contents cool while running on DC power.
The power draw is surprisingly low at about 40 watts.
86% liked the ample storage space
Inside the refrigerator, I can store 30 cans with 2 cans high and about 5 inches left over.
The refrigerator has generous storage space and cools up fast.
89% praised its precise temperature control, but 11% found it inconsistent.
I don't see the temperature control as a real problem, even though it's not accurate.
I set the temperature to 35 degrees and observed for a few days. The temperature fluctuations were +/-2 degrees on eco mode.
I used a lab thermometer and thermocouple to check the temperature accuracy and found it to be very good, with a difference of less than 1 degree F.
I read reviews before purchasing the product and found many complaints about the temperature controls.
