The latch and hinges in particular are a bit clunky and thin, not inspiring a ton of confidence in its ability to withstand years of hard use. LOL I have 4 young kids now so these days we go camping in the camper that I built with 300w of solar power, 100ah lithium battery to power all the lights/laptops/fridge, and we have a hot shower system for outdoor showers.
F. This may also be helped by its particularly tall, narrow shape and lower overall surface area, giving it less space from which to take on heat. The light is also located back there, meaning that it shines forward (into your face) when you open the lid and is also blocked by the solid wall separating the posterior compartment. So far so good, run it daily in bedroom for super cold water and beer and has been on about 5-10 off road trips where washboards and bumps tested its ruggedness.

The back portion of the cooler isn't any colder, yet is separated from the rest of the internal space.This puts it on par for energy usage with many others we tested: on the lower end of average in "Max" mode and the higher end of average in "Eco" mode. SO needs vary, and level of convenience that can take out the camping part of enjoying the outdoors, can also creep in easily. If you need to rely on serious cooling powers in seriously hot situations, we're not ready to fully trust this cooler, with its very lackluster temperature control. But if you want an option for infrequent use and only need fridge temps (not freezer), it's a pretty decent choice.

It's advertised to reach -4°F, but even completely empty in a room temperature space, it failed to get lower than 6. On top of the lid, four indented circles give you spaces for setting your drink(s) while using it as a table. The fact that the one thing this powered cooler is meant to do for sure isn't something we feel particularly confident we can trust it to do on a summer backcountry adventure, isn't exactly a ringing endorsement. All in all, though, when we consider that this model uses an average amount of energy to not get as cold as the competition, it begins to seem less impressive. The Mariner CF45 AC/DC powered fridge/freezer is versatile, whether it's used in your vehicle, at camp, cottage, or home.Quick Links: Bed Size Installing 20 inch RC blackout edition light bar on body armor highlife bumper Qi charger mod/swap Anyone pull a car on a uhaul auto transport? The Alpicool CF45 is immediately notable for its relatively low cost compared to other compressor model coolers.
The display itself goes to sleep after a minute or so and only comes on if you press one of the power buttons (AC, DC, or light). But it still does a decent job for casual use, weighs less than most others, and just might be the right fit for your lowkey use and modest budget. Unfortunately, when it comes to reliable temperature control, the Alpicool isn't particularly impressive and is the worst of all the compressor models we tested. I measured actual temps in the fridge with a good freezer thermometer located dead center of the volume. Despite its less than stellar temperature control performance, when it comes to insulation, the Alpicool actually performs above average among its competitors.I bought a Bluetti EB70S to power an Alpicool CF45 fridge (mine is branded as a Euhomy which is the exact same thing) mounted in my truck for camping trips.
I didn't build a water tank into the trailer because of the weight so we have an external food grade barrel that we use to get water once we're settled. I don't have a 12V socket in the back of my truck (yet) so I had to use the one located waaay up front in the dash. The item may be missing the original packaging or protective wrapping, or may be in the original packaging but not sealed. Hasn't failed me yet, i want to get 3 years out of it and get my money back from square trade if it fails.FASTER COOLING : Intelligent compressor cooling technology , from 77℉(25℃) to 32℉(0℃) only needs 30 minutes. However, they end up doing nothing — the cooler is already more than tall enough inside to accommodate such items and if you're instead trying to stack a bunch of cans inside, those indents make it awkward to keep them standing as you go along. It's not our favorite of the bunch but it still has plenty to offer for much less than most of the competition. Every visible piece is some sort of plastic (with the exception of the narrow rubber seal underneath the lid), but a plastic that, compared to other similar models, feels less sturdy and less durable.
Great Deal
