Review on JOYTUTUS 12V Refrigerator Dual Zone 42 Quart (40L) Portable Freezer With Basket - 12/24V DC & 120-240V AC Car Fridge For Travel, Van, Truck, Vehicle, Boat, Camping Road Trip RV Outdoor by Percy Haulin

Best dual zone 12v fridge I've tried! (and I tried 4 different ones)

Works great so far! I bought and returned 4 different dual zone car fridges before deciding to keep this one. It costs a few more dollars than the other ones I tried, but 100% worth it. I power this with a small bluetti and a solar panel, and it kept my food cold all weekend (92 degree summer Cali days). The small freezer compartment is awesome and I strongly believe that the aluminum lining in each compartment makes a huge difference. Also don't fall for the fridges that have a small plastic "side compartment" in the fridge. That area will never get cold. Only a lined area with a cooling element in it will get cold. At home I cooled it down to 5 deg in the freezer side and 25 deg on the fridge side in MAX mode. After it was cooled I loaded it with cold and frozen food (and a ziplock of ice cubes for drinks). During my trip I left it on ECO mode all weekend. ECO mode does allow the temp to be up to 10 degrees warmer than the number on the display. Thats the case with *ALL* 12v fridges in ECO mode, it's saving you power, don't panic. Also the temp at the bottom of the compartment will be different than the top, also normal. I set the fridge to 30 degrees and the freezer side to 20 degrees, and everything stayed cold / frozen all weekend. Loved having ice for my drinks, instead of ice melting all over my food. The wheels and long handle are very convenient too. One very minor complaint is that the smaller handles aren't very comfortable to hold, but totally usable.
