BODEGA 12 Volt Car Refrigerator, 48QT Dual Zone Portable Fridge Freezer

I’m a truck driver and this fridge/freezer has been a game changer for me. It cools down quickly, but just don’t overpack so the air can circulate between items. The dual-zone design is incredibly convenient — I freeze my meal-prepped dinners in one side and keep my lunch meat, condiments, and drinks chilled in the other. Each zone can be set independently as a fridge or freezer, so I have complete control over the temperatures instead of being stuck with a preset. It runs very quietly, and I hardly notice it when I’m sleeping. The battery saver function is excellent too, shutting off automatically to prevent draining the battery — and in my semi it pairs perfectly since my truck recharges itself if needed. I bought the 48-quart size and it easily fits all my weekly food, helping me eat healthier and save money on the road. The build is solid, and the wheels and handle make it easy to move around when I need to. For anyone who meal preps, travels, or just wants a reliable, versatile fridge/freezer on the go, this is absolutely worth it.

I bought this cooler for a long 28 hrs trip and plugged into the truck it hold the set up tempeture 20 degrees all the way then we went camping and plugged it into a small generator and it did a great job holding temperature again. I recomend this cooler if you need to keep your drinks and food cold as it should. I'm not disappointed. I Love my new cooler. Bodega 121 quart

Love this cooler. I bought the additional battery as well. It works very well in my truck for trips to and from the grocery store. Can't wait to take it camping at the lake!

Bought for those times when lodgings don't have a fridge, don't have one as they advertised, or we show up and their fridge doesn't have a freezer compartment, or it doesn't work, and there's no working ice machine. This freezer is heavy-ish, so my bad shoulder complains as I load it into / remove it from the SUV. And that's without contents. But, it's a refrigerator / freezer, so the weight is to be expected. And, it's not far off from a Yeti. The baskets are handy for quickly removing / adding content so I can load / remove the freezer empty; however, basket corners could be a bit better, as water bottles can fall through where the wiring is spaced wider than at the sides. Some attention to loading required to prevent chasing water bottles across the parking area. Versatile; I like that either compartment can be cooler / freezer. The app labels each side left / right; that can be confusing if you flip the lid around. Would have been less confusing to this user to label the compartments small / large. The app is much easier to use than the control panel. I use 4 deg F for my freezer setting, and 35 deg F for my cooler setting. The freezer cools in 15 minutes of so. But, that doesn't mean the freezer / cooler contents are cool / cold yet. It takes several hours to freeze / refreeze my water bottles, which I then use as ice in in unpowered coolers. Same for cold packs. When power is removed from this cooler it warms up above safe food temps relatively quick, in just a couple of hours; it's not a Yeti. The lid changes direction pretty easy; convenient when I move it to a different place in the SUV. Keeping the vents clear to prevent a compressor overheat requires a little forethought; can't just pile luggage or other bags against those areas. The telescoping handle, in it's retracted position, protrudes a bit farther than needed, can limit vehicle placement in some instances. The handle does telescope very easily, and is good and sturdy. Wheels work well on pavement and turf. I haven't used it in sand, but wheel width & diameter suggest it could be a small struggle in sand. I bought 2 Euhomy Car Refrigerator, Refrigerator battery with 12/24V DC and 120-240V AC, Freezer Fridge Cooler, for Car, RV, Camping and Home Use to use with this freezer. Those batteries charge and work with the freezer, with quirks. The first quirk is that external power is required to get the freezer on, then the charged battery takes over after the external power is disconnected; I can't just stick in a charged battery and expect the freezer to power on like it does from a corded power source. The second quirk is that the battery cut-off voltage has to be set in the freezer app; if I forget and leave the cut-off setting on the higher value (for car batteries), the freezer and battery combo cuts off after just a couple of hours. Some user attention is required to ensure the cut-off voltage is set in the app to match the battery source, and get a longer cooling period. So, use it, but don't forget it. I also stuck on some reflective tape, for those times I might be wheeling the dark blue freezer across a parking lot after sunset. Had to use double-sided tape, as the stock adhesive-backingnreflective tape wouldn't stay stuck to this freezer plastic on it's own.

I’m very happy with the customer service from Bodega. Unfortunately, the original portable cooler I received did not work properly. However, after exchanging a few emails with their customer service team, they were very helpful and worked with me to resolve the issue. They ultimately sent me a brand-new replacement cooler, which I really appreciate. The replacement arrived new and in good condition. While I was disappointed that the first unit didn’t work, I’m pleased with how Bodega handled the situation and stood behind their product. Thank you to the Bodega team for your assistance and for making sure I received a working replacement. Good customer service makes a big difference!

This is for the 115Qt model. $900, one would expect the thing to be almost perfect. Not quite. The manual is a bad translation from Chinese. Barely understandable. I thought those were all in the past, apparently not. This has 2 compartments. When turned on, only one compartment was getting cold. Looked like a problem. But after first compartment got cold, then the cooling switched to the second one. The manual does not mention this. The advertised temp range is down to -4F. Turns out, no way. The coldest that this gets is about 14F, at which point the compressor runs continuously but the temp does not get any colder. After 12 hours at a constant power consumption of about 90W, (2000 Wh per day) the compressor is still running, the temp is 14F and the lids are cold. So that is where the cold is going to. Conclusion: the lids are insufficiently insulated and the compressor is underpowered. And with power consumption of 2000 Wh per day, bring a generator, or at least a 400W solar panel. Just my experience. A bit disappointed, but will deal with it. After further experience, here is an update. The compressor runs most of the time using about 100W, for total power consumption of 2400 Wh per day. This is more than my big fridge at home. If you go camping, you will need a generator running all the time. The internal temperature claimed is about 10 degrees higher than the actual temperature. For example the unit claims that the R compartment is at 20F but the actual temperature is 32F. If you do not know this and set the temperature, lets say, to 38F, your food will go bad because the actual temperature would be 48F. There was another review claiming such experience. The lids and the seals are inadequate and that is where a lot of cold air leaks out. That may be one reason why the coldest that this thing is able to do is about 18F. In summary, this is an expensive piece of junk, completely unsuitable for it's intended purpose. After some experimentation I finally figured it out. The problem depends on the ambient temperature. If I set the temperature to 0 degrees, the coldest that the freezer gets is as follows: With the fridge in the shade and the lids are never opened and the the compressor running 100% of the time. Outside temp Lowest freezer temp 75 F 0 F 85 F +17 F 90 F +20 F In summary, this takes as much power as a house fridge (maybe more) and does not cool enough because of two reasons: 1. The insulation is inadequate 2. The compressor is undersized. The customer service experience was also unique. They wanted a video, but the (video) attachments were disabled (intentionally??) in the messages that I tried to send to them. After a few back & forth messages and hours of wasted time, they just unceremoniously closed the case without explanation.

Very good for traveling we travel a lot and it has been the best thing we had bought for traveling. It’s a perfect cooler freezer combination.

So far the unit works as advertised. It cools from the high 70’s low 80’s to 25f in about an hour an ac power. If it holds, I would recommend it. Time will tell

Leider ist der Kompressor nach einer laufleistung von knapp 12 Stunden so laut geworden dass man sich kaum unterhalten kann. Die Kühlleistung ist gut aber die Geräuschkulisse ist furchtbar. Das verbinden der Kühlbox mit der App ist total unterirdisch man muss das ganze übers eigene WLAN mit dem vorhandenen WLAN irgendwie kombinieren nach gefühlten 5 bis 6 Stunden Versuch meine App mit der Kühlbox zu verbinden habe ich klein beigegeben. Die größte Frechheit ist dass wenn ich die Ware zurückschicken will dass nur auf meine eigene Kosten machen muss die Rückerstattung der Frachtkosten von 3,50 € ist lächerlich. Und vom Kundenservice wollen wir erst gar nicht sprechen.

Très content de cette glacière même ,pendant la canicule ! J ai juste eu un problème d écran mais résolu grâce au service après vente Je recommande cette glacière

Frigo ben fatto ottima scelta,x il momento funziona tutto bene vediamo la durata.

After more than a year of usage our cooler has become an amazing addition to our camping and everyday lifestyle. We are absolutely disappointed about battery availability and prices as in Canada it’s impossible to obtain the correct battery at a reasonable price. The cooler itself is amazing and although prone to button bumping the app allows you to lock controls from your Bluetooth connection. We have learned some tricks, precool on AC power before trip. Always ensure cooler vents have access to fresh air, ie:not blocked with gear or luggage. Also putting in pre frozen food helps when using freezer but it will freeze if you want it to. We often travel with it plugged into 12v in our vehicle and ensure your 12v outlet always has power when key is off. If using as fridge and freezer in different compartments don’t make freezer too cold. -9c is enough if precooled. If you go -18c you may freeze the fridge side. 1-3c is good temp for fridge. This cooler is indispensable and ultimately gives us freedom and ability to have beautiful fresh food even extending our camping trips beyond two weeks!

Die Kühlbox von Bodega kam sicher verpackt bei mir Zuhause an. Mein erster Eindruck von der Kühlbox war sehr positiv, da sie sich hochwertig und robust anfühlt. Der Kunststoff wirkt nicht billig und auch die restlichen Elemente der Kühlbox sind ordentlich verarbeitet. Sie lässt sich einfach schließen und sie öffnet sich auch nicht einfach von alleine. Leer wiegt die Kühlbox auch nicht so viel, was den Transport auch um einiges leichter macht. Die Rollen an der Kühlbox machen einen soliden Job und sie haken auch nie. Auf dem Gehweg und auch auf der Wiese lässt sich die Kühlbox einwandfrei hinter mir herziehen. Besonders wenn sie sehr voll ist, wiegt sie schon so einiges, weshalb das fahren deutlich besser ist als das Tragen. Im Prinzip lässt sich die Kühlbox wie ein Koffer fahren und der Griff lässt sich auch weit genug ausziehen, so dass ich ihn angenehm halten kann. Bedienen lässt sich die Kühlbox sehr einfach. An der Seite kann ich schnell und unkompliziert die Temperatur in beiden Fächern ändern, jedoch nutze ich meistens die App zum Ändern der Temperatur, da das einfach nochmal angenehmer funktioniert. Die App war schnell eingerichtet und das Verbinden mit der Kühlbox hat auch wunderbar geklappt. Sie ist übersichtlich gestaltet und ich habe mich schnell zurechtgefunden, weshalb das Bedienen dann auch kein Problem mehr war. Über die Größe der Kühlbox kann ich mich definitiv nicht beschweren. Mit einem Volumen von 35 Litern ist sie deutlich größer als unsere alte “einfache” Kühltruhe und man merkt das bei der Nutzung auch sehr deutlich. Es passen viel mehr Getränke und Lebensmittel hinein und besonders gut gefällt mir, dass es zwei Fächer gibt. So kann ich das eine Fach als Gefrierfach und das andere als Kühlfach nutzen. Ich habe auch mal gemessen, ob die Temperatur sich in einem Fach senkt, wenn das andere Fach deutlich kälter ist und tatsächlich ändert sich nichts, was natürlich sehr gut ist. Die Temperatur bleibt auch immer so wie ich sie eingestellt habe und sie steigt nicht plötzlich an. Das in der Kühlbox enthaltene Schneidebrett ist ganz nett und den USB-Port finde ich ganz praktisch. Bei solchen Geräten ist auch immer wie wichtig wie sie mit Strom versorgt werden können und die Kühlbox bietet hier genug Möglichkeiten, so dass ich sie immer einsetzen kann. Meistens wird sie per Stromkabel bei uns Zuhause mit Energie versorgt, jedoch klappt auch das Laden per Zigarettenanzünder sehr gut. Es gab dabei keine Probleme und besonders wenn man unterwegs ist, ist diese Möglichkeit die Kühlbox zu laden Goldwert. Fazit: Ich bin mit der Kühlbox sehr zufrieden. Sie bietet großen Stauraum und die zwei separaten Fächer sind sehr praktisch. Über die Qualität kann ich auch nicht meckern und auch die Kühlung funktioniert einwandfrei. Die Steuerung per Handy ist sehr angenehm und Probleme sind bei der Kühlbox bisher auch nicht aufgetreten. Ich kann sie daher weiterempfehlen.
