Revainrating 4 out of 5

Perfect size for my needs

After doing a lot of research on portable fridge freezers I chose the ICECO GO20 for a number of reasons. First, it's one of the few that fits on the skids in the back of my Jeep Wrangler. I installed a rear guard shelf that limits the available height to just over 12.5 inches. At 12.4 inches tall, the GO20 is perfect. It feels solid, the controls are easy to read and use, and it comes with both AC and DC power cords. I love that I can use the GO20 as a fridge freezer, full freezer or full fridge depending on my needs. While the unit's volume may be small for families, it offers enough space for a solo traveler or a couple. I can easily see that there is enough food for a week's trip for one or two people. I have to admit I haven't used the GO20 on a trip yet, but plugged it in after receiving it to make sure it was working properly. It cooled from an ambient temperature of 74 degrees Fahrenheit to single digits in about 30 minutes if I remember correctly. And believe me, this thing is surprisingly quiet. To the point where you can barely hear his cycle even if you are a few feet away from him. In my app, I probably wouldn't hear a mixer full of ball bearings while driving, but if you're wondering how it would work in the back seat of your Yaris, you're on your way sonically. In short, I am very happy with the fit, functionality and shape of the ICECO GO20. At a price that's actually lower than some premium coolers of the same capacity (when you factor in the volume lost through ice), the ICECO GO20 is an excellent choice. Overall, at this early stage in our relationship, this definitely deserves 4 stars. As soon as I get a chance to practice on the road and trail I will continue. If everything is ok I will update my rating to 5 stars. One final note - I saw a guy on YouTube recommending not turning the fridge on and off immediately after delivery due to the chance it might be out of order. side or rear during transport. He suggested leaving it upright for a few hours to allow the coolant to settle. I'm not sure if that's true or not, but it makes sense, so I thought I'd pass the advice along.
