Review on ❄️ Icecube Mini Series: 12V Portable Electric Refrigerator & Freezer for all Vehicle Types - RV, Camping & Outdoor Cooler (21qt) by Elijah Pope

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not so good with electronics

I've reviewed several of these AC/DC Portable Fridge/Freezers, including one from this particular company. This model is perhaps the least popular of them all. While the device is mostly functional, it's not much considering how little free storage you get for the money. Although not much smaller than many similar models, you will find that storage space is very limited. The compressor and electronics are about the same size as other models. So it's just as bulky and heavy, but you get a fraction of the storage space. In the tiny compartment you have enough space for a few lemonades or a couple of sandwiches. The LED indicators are easy to see and control, but the temperature is only displayed in Celsius, not Fahrenheit, which is what we use in the United States. The instructions included with the kit are basically useless as they are intended for several models from the same company, but it is impossible to separate the instructions for one model from another. Another problem I encountered is the lid. If you use it as a freezer, you will find that frost forms inside and the lid is very difficult to open. The lid only has a small indentation to insert your fingers to open it, and it's difficult to apply enough pressure to open the lid when it's stuck. The lid must have a handle. Just very bad design. The compressor on this model is also quite noisy compared to others I've used, despite being smaller. I have another model that is slightly larger but quiet enough to stand next to my bed without disturbing me. There was no way I could keep this model in the same room while trying to sleep. If you are looking for different models of portable fridge freezers I would honestly look elsewhere. Spend a few bucks more for a larger device and you won't regret it.
