BougeRV 12 Volt Refrigerator 12V Car Fridge 30 Quart Portable Freezer Compressor Cooler Compressor Freezer, 12/24V DC 110~240V AC, -8℉~50℉ for Truck RV SUV (Black)

I’ve been using this cooler for over two years on multiple trips, and it has performed flawlessly. It runs equally well on 12V and 120V power, is quiet, and delivers excellent cooling performance. Because it uses a true compressor, it works reliably in all conditions. When my neighbor’s refrigerator failed, it was even able to keep her breast milk frozen. Be aware that if you set the temperature to 36°F or lower, items near the inside wall closest to the control panel may freeze.

Purchased specifically for a road trip that requires overnight stay to keep frozen bag of fresh food frozen to avoid buying dry ice or bags of ice. It performs as advertised! We did test after sitting it upright for about 24hrs after receiving this unit. Plugged into the outlet directly with a fridge thermometer inside not specifically to compare accuracy but to confirm it ran as expected. Then tested it with ice cubes in the little bowl. We were impressed by this little unit that we decided to drive with it in the van for couple of days to test out further with grocery shopping trips which included Ice Creams with about 1hr drive altogether. Success. The temp difference between this unit and fridge thermometer we had was about +/-3 to 5F. We did not mind this as much as the temp fluctuation can be different between environment or what we have inside, and it wasn't 10F difference. We did plug it in before the trip to prep before placing the frozen items inside the cooler. The unit itself is quiet enough not to notice it's running while driving. And we loved the fact that it came with 12v and 110 plug - this was important as our primary use, of course, was for the road trip. Other units we were looking at required separate purchase of accessories (including adapters etc. etc.) which added up to be a huge investment. As a first time owners of portable fridge/freezer, this fit the bill with good rating that we can try affordably. Went for 23QT to fit between the seats, on the floor. Light to carry, small enough to be portable, quick to reach the desired temp. We've been using quite often for the last couple of months and it's been really reliable.

It has been close to a year since I purchased this Fridge, and I want to leave my honest review. I’ve been using the BougeRV 23qt since July 2024 for my Jeep Gladiator, and I can confidently say it has exceeded all expectations. I currently have a 50qt ARB fridge that I use on my off-road teardrop trailer. Comparing to this one to the ARB which is much more expensive, this compact fridge performs extremely well above its weight in performance, reliability, and value. **Cooling Performance:** This fridge cools down *fast*—within 15 to 20 minutes, it's already well below refrigeration temps. It consistently maintains temperature even in hotter climates and inside a warm car, which is more than I can say living in AZ, especially during the brutal summer months. I set the average temperature at 25 degrees and have no problems keeping it at that level daily. I have set the temperature at -5 degrees on a few occasions, and it has had no issues at all. **Efficiency:** What really surprised me is how energy-efficient it is. It draws very little power, making it perfect for my overlanding setup and road trips. I've run it for days off a small power station without worry. When the Jeep is not on the go, I have it plugged into my Jackery 500, setting the fridge at 25 degrees and using it constantly for a 6-8 hour period. It only consumed about 40% of the battery life. **Build Quality:** The unit is solidly built and better than I expected. The handle could be made deeper and I can see someone with much larger fingers having difficulty with it when lifting the fridge. The digital controls are intuitive and easy to use, and the LED display is clear even in bright light. It doesn't feel cheap at all—despite being significantly more affordable than top-tier brands. **Noise Level:** Very quiet. You’ll barely hear it running, which is a big plus if you’re sleeping in your vehicle or nearby. **Portability:** At 23 quarts, it's the perfect size for solo travel or weekend getaways. It holds more than you think, and the compact design means it fits easily in the backseat or trunk. **Final Thoughts:** The BougeRV 23Qt car fridge has worked tremendously well for my needs. It’s rare to find a product at this price point that can genuinely outperform some of the more expensive competition. Whether you're new to car camping or just looking for a reliable backup, this fridge is a smart buy and I highly recommend it. **The only areas of improvement that I can see are a drain when cleaning/washing, like my ARB fridge, and deeper handles that allow a better grip.

For our trip North to South, we are not bringing our travel trailer. Mainly because of our late departure this year. To allow us to bring my medication that must remain refrigerated, I picked up a portable refrigerator that runs off the cars 12-volt system. After some research, I ended up with a BougeRV 23-quart refrigerator. It can maintain temps anywhere from -8° to 50° F, selectable to what you want. I set ours to 37° F. The storage compartment of the frig is 9.65 inches high by 9.84 inches wide and 13.78 inches long. This is all usable area. I purchased it with an insulated cover BougeRV also makes that helps maintain its temperature. When we are parked or spending the night at a hotel, the refrigerator will continue to run powered by a Harbor Fright Predator 350W portable power station. This station is small and very compact. It is rated at 294-watt hours and will keep the refrigerator powered for well over 24 hours. This surprised me. I was hoping for at least 8 hours, but 24 hours is fantastic! I should also mention how quiet it is. You can barely hear it. The insulating cover also adds to attenuating the sound. My only disappointment, some fruit drink containers are too tall to fit vertically. So, they must be laid down horizontally to fit. Half-gallon milk containers fit vertically. All in all, I really like this BougeRV 23-quart refrigerator. It does everything I hoped for and more.

Haven't really used it yet. Will do so in the coming week. At that time upon my return, I will give a full review. But for now, I will provide my first impression. It is light weight (empty). The 12V and 120 plugs both work in the car and truck and in the house. When I first plugged it into the house AC inlet it worked with no issues. It turned on and cooled fast. The motor is quiet. and the container that holds items that you want cool works great. When I attempted to turn off the frig, I had an issue with it not shutting down. Ooops! I guess I didn't hold it down long enough to turn it off. You do have to hold it for 3 or more seconds to turn it on and off.

I read a lot of reviews about the lack of durability of this item so I will review again if it dies too quickly. I was pretty skeptical at first but so glad I went through with it. That being said this is the best item purchase for a OTR Trucker that you could purchase. This is being used as a freezer for 4-5 weeks OTR at a time. We cook bulk meat and fill it up. There has been NO condensation, cools quickly, door seal is perfect, stainless steel is pretty firm. The control panel works fine and I would say the only thing I think is a bit flimsy is where the plug in the side of the wall is a bit "cheap" but we will see how it holds up. We purchased the bag that goes around it which helps a lot, fits perfectly and is very durable. We have saved $$thousands$$ of $dollars$ by purchasing this. As I said, its a great purchase so far, just hope it lasts.

This is not your $2,000.00 home fridge don't expect it to work like one. I used it on my boat all summer for beverages only, it worked great. It was plugged into shore power while at the dock and unpowered while actually out boating. Unpowered it still kept water, soda, and beer cold all day as long as it was reasonably full (thermal mass) I would not trust this unit to keep meat milk or other perishables in for any length of time though. There is a fair amount of temperature variation......it's not your home fridge. It does work well for it's intended purpose, cooling beverages and saving money by constantly buying ice.

I use this with an Anker battery bank set up to charge from my car. It’s great how I can shop then work out, or travel with food without worry. It’s powerful and cooks fast. It works as a fridge or freezer, but beware not to stuff it full, the walls on the sides need to breathe or your food will freeze. Also I’d say that it swings in temp probably more than a regular fridge. It’s not unsafe, but your food might degrade slightly faster than a full-size fridge. I got mine with the insulated case, it’s very high quality and so is the fridge itself. I’d recommend it to anyone. My system was Car -> Power bank -> fridge. Allowed me to charge while driving and still have the fridge active when car is off.
