Buy the 12v Vevor Fridge: amzn.to/3WhmZrV

@ridgehilljillie9429 Жыл бұрын

I wanted the freezer so I could freeze the hard plastic ice packs, then, put them in a cooler to keep my food cold without the food getting soggy from melting ice. A refrigerator needs to be running all of the time using up energy. The 10 Quart freezer can sit on the front seat and only needs to run every other day or so, when I need to refreeze the ice packs.

Brother thank you so much for the vid. I moved to a new city, my roommate died and the family kicked me out, so I find myself crashing in the caravan. I liken it to jumping in a cold pool, its a shock but you enviably acclimate. I live in Florida so heat is an issue. Im planning on using the fridge as a dual purpose device and turning it into a AC unit as well as a fridge. Plan to put a trans radiator inside and run cold water to a trans radiator outside with a pair of usb fans. May also line the fridge with aluminum for maximum temp transfer. I use a bluetti power station with a harbor freight solar pannel, which has about 230 ah, so i think this will work great. I tried a ice maker which pulled 200 watts and did nothing for cooling, so again thank you so much for the vid. The whole experience has brought me closer to God. I hope my story does the same for you. With all the craziness going on in the world right now, it doesn't hurt to make peace with your maker...ya dig. Thanks again.

It reminds of the old timy RV refridge that took over night to get cool and keep stuff cool. As a 12v option to you really expect it to make blocks of ice? Or do you just want to be able to take stuff to the beach and keep it cold. Once cold stuff is in it, the temp will stabilize somewhat to make it even more useful.

@KevTheHunter1 Жыл бұрын

With summer coming up, I’m not pervious of keeping a cooler with ice all the time and say I take a turn a bit too hard and there goes all the melted ice and drinks all over my car trunk. I’d rather keep something like this to keep drinks cool, not necessarily to freeze stuff, but it does seem to keep stuff frozen. so in order to keep things frozen, it’s important to keep this in mind say in a camping trip or at the beach.

@david78212 Жыл бұрын

@@KevTheHunter1 I'm not against it to keep drinks cold, I just don't have high expectations of a 12v anything to make a lot of ice or very quickly... It kinda reminds me of the "personal A/C" unit they are scamming people with all over the place.

It may make you think of that but totally different tech. This is a compressor fridge. It will make ice if you set the temp for that.

@@ceeweedsl yes I know, compressor vs pressurized alcohol. It still doesn't make that much difference, your home fridge can barely make ice in a matter of hours, yet, people expect a tiny 12v fridge to make ice? Never mind how much. It's a nice thought, but, the tech hasn't made those kinds of changes yet... They aren't much more efficient than they were 50 years ago. Oh they use less power, but that's about all they have improved on.

I have the Alpicool brand. Same thing like you said, but I opted for the larger unit that has a domed lid so it can take larger bottles and you can stand them up! Everything else is the same! BTW, that USB charger port is a joke. If I plug my phone into it, the power shuts off. Not the fridge, just the USB power. It can do barely an amp! I never tried to see just how cold it can get, but I read once if you use the ºC setting, it's more accurate? It is a nice unit though.

I could imagine they cheaped out on the USB Port. However, the fridge worked flawlessly for me for the time I had it. Recently sold it with the camper van. I regret it because I have already had a few instances where I wish I had it.

opening it and closing it so many times is why it probably took so long to cool down you let all the cold air out like 15 times

Not true, cold air sinks, so opening the lid does jack. If it was a front opening fridge, that would be a different matter.

However being a "hatch style", opening the unit creates a vacuum every time inevitably removing the cabin air completely hence resetting the cooling process by 80%.@@OggyGTA

Your tem gauge is incorrect. Water freezes at 0, but your gauge say 10 ... not possible unless the laws of physics differ inside this coolbox! Physics also dictates that cool air sinks, this is why they cool the upper part of the box, so they don't have to cool all the boix at once. Well, I guess it is a budget cooler.

Your "conclusion" on it's freezing performance is problematic. You expect it to get cold, but you keep opening the door.😂😂😂😂 Didn't your Dad teach you to SHUT THE DOOR? Alpicool C15, the original manufacturer of what you have will freeze water in a ciuple hours easy. Add more than a single bottle for better performance.

How do you think I should test the coldness of the fridge?

@SuckItYouTube19 7 ай бұрын

@AutoMotivate Well... there are plenty of ways. How about set fridge to 0⁰ F wait until the temp is reached. This simulates actual usage. Then place your water bottle inside. Wait at least an hour before you molest the process(open the door). Add additional hours if needed. Ideally, having a wireless thermometer to monitor temps.
