overall good
Fridge works pretty good. But if you purchase it based on smart features like bluetooth or wifi you will be disappointed and there is no direct support available.

Pricy but we’ll worth it
Love it! I have it running nearly all the time. Either out at camp or in my garage. I like the ability to have frozen ice cream on a hot weekend camping. It’s easy to set the temperature. Totally recommend it.

Exploding beer and energy drink cans
Finally took this out on an extended road trip to truly test out. Had the fridge temp set on 40 degrees which didn’t seem to keep to stuff at the top near the lid that cool, so turned down to 38 and within 2 hours my reign energy drinks and summer shandys that were at the bottom exploded/cracked from being too cold and leaked everywhere. I don’t think I had it overstocked, had cans at the bottom and a few pre packaged salads set on top. Guessing the temperature inconsistency is just a design issue? I will still take it considering it makes a good bench to sit on in the van. Draws low power in fridge mode however does drain my battery about 50 percent faster when one side is set to freezer mode. I do wish the right side was the same size as the other as I feel like it’s a waste of storage space having the l shape inside. Now I wish I had a seperate freezer altogether due to lack of space.

Works perfect
I bought this for the boat and it exceeded my expectations. It maintained the temperature are needed and used considerably less electricity than the previous refrigerator.

1+ year later and very happy
We got the dual zone 75 L unit for our 4WD van. Have used it for over a year now and it's truly been a game changer for us. We use the van to travel in remote parts of northern BC, Yukon and Alaska. We have driven hundreds (thousands?) of miles on dirt roads and 4WD rough roads. The fridge has worked well despite being put through severe vibration, heat, and cold. It draws on average around 20-25 Ah off our battery overnight (12+ hours), and our 400W solar panels plus some engine charging on dark cloudy days has easily recharged the battery the next day plus provide power for the day's operation. We operate one compartment as a freezer and one as a fridge. We're always amazed at how much we can fit in there, and how everything stays cold even when the compartment is overstuffed. I have no idea whether other brands are better or worse, but I can vouch for our unit having exceeded our expectations. The unit is expensive compared to a home fridge, but so far it's been great for our van setup and needs.

Efficient, Quiet & Great For Car Camping
Bought this a few weeks ago for car camping - not the smallest or lightest piece of kit but the volume and separate freezer capability tipped the choice. Fully laden with food and drink and it will likely require two people to lift in and out. I have a Goal Zero YETI 500X and a Nomad 100 Solar Panel - with the unit set at -10C for freezer and 4C for fridge it’s drawing ~35W on the 12V outlet which means the solar panel easily keeps the YETI fully recharged during day, even if we’re using the YETI for recharging mobile devices, laptops or powering camp lights. Runs very quiet, can hardly hear it. Very pleased with purchase.

Just perfect for camping
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Size Bought:
- 75L
This is just an awesome must need camping item. With the ability to keep fresh food and or frozen goods our over landing just got better. I also use it as a first responder by keeping cold water and snacks in it when I visit storm damaged towns. I can’t see myself going anywhere without it. This dual zone allows for two freezers, two fridges or one fridge one freezer. I now gain weight while camping by eating fresh food and not dehydrated foods. Highly recommend. Thanks backcountry!!

Happy with the Cooler, But......
The cooler is great, with a few exceptions. I have not been able to connect via Bluetooth or WiFi and the instructions are not very good. Also, the 12v adapter does not work with my Yeti 400 Lithium, so I have to use the inverter and plug it in via the 110v plug. In this mode, I think I'll get between 16-18 hours without a recharge.

Can this be mounted on a truck bed full time? Through rain and such? It will not be covered except for the cover you sell.
