ICECO VL75 ProD 12V Refrigerator, Portable Freezer Fridge with AC/DC, 75L Dual Zone Car Fridge Powered by SECOP, 0℉ to 50℉, Electric Cooler for Car, Camping and Home Use [Olive Green Special Edition]

This unit has been a workhorse for its first year. The power consumption has been exactly to specification; remarkably low. The noise level is low when running and the on off cycling is not excessive; it hold the cold well. We have used it in weather exceeding 100F. The build quality is very good. I use this in my van build. Having the ability to hard freeze items has allowed for extended off grid trips. The most loved feature is the ability to open the lids on either side. We have our extending sideways across the van just behind the drivers seat. This allows us access to one half of the unit for cold drinks, and both compartments from the kitchen side. Since either compartment, or both can be freezers, we have had ice cream snacks on the road as well. ICECO stands by their product. We had a minor glitch and Customer Service was both highly responsive in troubleshooting and then providing what was needed under warranty. As a result we did not miss a single scheduled outing this last summer. I trust this company as they have demonstrated being trustworthy. We are now considering an additional unit for our cabin. Since it runs on either 12vDC or 120vAC it is a perfect choice for an area with power uncertainty. We won’t face spoiled freezer messes again. Our unit is a year old and lacks some abilities of current manufacture. I understand that current manufacturing includes Bluetooth with CarPlay compatibility, and some improvement to operating logic. These changes can only make a good unit even better. Yep, big fan of the product and company.

I am thoroughy impressed with the performance of this 75L Iceco cooler. I am also impressed with the build quality, functionality, and usable space. This is an absolute winner, and the only thing I would caution users is that it is heavy, so be mindful should you need to move it after filling it up with your goodies. I have had the opportunity to use this cooler on two recent occasions. One was a road trip, which was about a straight 6-hour drive from home to destination. The weather was mid-90s, with a blazing hot sun. During this trip, the cooler was in the bed of my pickup truck. My pickup is black with a hard folding tonneau cover. Nicely, this cooler does not protrude above the top of the bed walls, so I was able to close the tonneau cover. During the commute, I repeatedly checked the cooler temperature via the free Iceco app, and to my amazement, the cooler performed flawlessly. Not one time was it above the set temperature of 37 degrees. This cooler was simply able to keep up with the demands of the extreme heat. Upon arriving at our destination, we determined the hotel did not have the refrigerator space for all of our food, so I needed to haul the cooler to the hotel room. That took some doing. First, I needed to take everything out of the cooler to make it manageable, which is made easy when using the baskets (more on the baskets below). I did so, then put the cooler on the hotel cart, then brought everyhting to the room. Be advised we were at a Hampton Inn, and the luggage cart would not accommodate the cooler along the length, so I needed to load the cooler perpendicular to the cart. That worked great, until I discovered the cooler would not fit through the elevator door. So, I ended up loading the cooler along the length of the cart, angled between the cart rails. Needless to say, I was quite sweaty by the time I got to the room. When we left, my wife and I just carried the empty cooler to the car, which was much easier than using the cart. As far as using the device, setting the temperature is very easy (please note the cooler does not cool both sides at the same time. It does one side, then the other). I didn't put a whole lot of thought into the versatility of the covers, not expecting it to be such a big deal. Well, after using it, I will say that is a very nice feature that the doors can be opened from either side. I did take note over that trip that I was pretty much taking advantage of the dexterity pretty regularly. We had this cooler running in the hotel room for three days non-stop, and it was not disruptive at all. It runs very quiet and had no affect on sleep. It is also so much easier to use than the hotel fridge. While it was plugged into the pickup truck I was able to monitor the power draw through the onboard power management system - the energy demand was nominal, and my truck's 7.2 Kw system was more that capable of handling the cooler. Advice to users: -The 75L cooler is big and heavy even when empty - I am able to manage it by myself (6'02", 225 lbs), but I recommend a two-person carry. So much easier. -While the cooler was in the flatbed, and my phone in the passenger compartment, the app connection was a bit fussy. I needed to hold my phone in just the right spot to connect to the cooler. Not a big deal, just a point of note. Advice to manufacturer: The large cooler basket needs to have handles that protrude above the wall of the cooler. Consider my situation I mentioned above - I needed to remove the baskets to lift the cooler out of the truck and put it on the luggage cart. The basket was heavy, and I literally had to lift it by my fingertips. I was able to, but I am a pretty strong guy. I can say my wife would not be able to do that at all. Also, when lowering the basket back into the cooler, you have a choice - get your fingers pinched between the cooler walls and the basket - ouch - or lower it as far as you can and let the basket drop into the basin, risking damage to the cooler floor. Neither are good options. I ended up removing everything from the basket, installing the basket, and putting everything back in. This defeats having the basket in the first place. Adding handles to this basket would make a huge difference. Finally, I had the need to contact Iceco customer service regarding an ordering issue. They were great to work with. In this day of quality customer service being a fleeting memory, Iceco sets themselves apart. How refreshing. I am absolutely and thoroughly impressed with the performance of this cooler and Iceco, and I can recommend it whole-heartedly. Great job, Iceco!

This will be the last dual zone you'll ever need. If you have a big family and want to use both sides as a fridge or want to take some ice cream for the kids, you can. I've used it as a single fridge for a solo trip only utilizing half of it and the other side off saving power. The ability to open the lids in either direction made it very versatile in the back of my jeep allowing me to put it on either side. Any application you can dream up this is the dual zone fridge you will want.

When my ICECO VL75 arrived, it would not cool at all. Everything seemed to be working fine, controls wise, it just wouldn't cool. I contacted customer service, who had me do a few troubleshooting items to possibly eliminate a problem that I could fix (and eliminate the possibility of me being an idiot) without shipping the big thing back. When that didn't work, they sent me a return shipping label, and promptly shipped another unit that works fine. It is a well made unit, with a very clever and functional two door system, one for each zone, that opens from either side, or can be removed all together with just the side door hand releases. The controls are easy to use, and are flexible enough to do all that needs to be done. It can use either 120 VAC or 12-24 VDC. It has two USB charging connectors, which only work when powered by 12-24 VDC. The fridge has two cooling zones that are independently temperature controlled. Either or both zones can be set as low as zero degrees F. If you only need the capacity of one zone, you can deactivate either or both zones to save power. There are also 3 different battery cutoff voltages that you can select to keep your battery from being overly discharged when in the DC power mode. The unit remembers its settings when power is removed, and goes right back into action when power is restored. That is nice if you are turning your vehicle on and off over time, and your outlet turns off also. The fridge makes very little noise, and is almost silent. Each zone has its own LED lighting, which is nice to help see what you are looking for. It comes with a nice set of removable wire storage baskets. It is fairly heavy at 69 pounds, so you want to move it when empty, and then load it up when it is in its final resting place. The doors and storage racks can be removed to lessen the weight somewhat if you have trouble lifting it otherwise. It comes with 4 spare corner bumpers, a spare handle, a spare drain plug, a mediocre but functional manual, and both an AC power cable and a cigarette lighter plug DC power cable. It has a 5 year warranty on the compressor. I also bought the ICECO Insulating cover, which adds additional insulation, and is bright colored to cover up the fridge's dark green color (also available in black) that would heat up the fridge in the sun and increase the power demand. I intend to run this with a Bluetti power station, so I want to minimize power consumption to maximize run time. All in all, a very nice unit, with better than average customer support, which is based in here in the USA. Hopefully the unit's reliability lives up to its 5 year warranty.

First electric fridge. This is a game changer. No ice means all space for food. I was looking at the APL55 but Amazon gave me this awesome unit for the same price deal. I had not idea. 75 liters is ALOT. Not mad at it at all. I was able to take all the food for our entire group for three days. Plus put 12 soda cans in it. I could have Jenga'd this thing even better I just didn't need to. We had 48 hot dogs an entire sleeve of burgers like 20 burgers. 3 Sam's club sandwich meat containers a bag of avocado cups, yogurts, cheese slices and a Sams club pack of string cheese. Blue berries, strawberries, apples, celery, a full box of butter, and full size condiments, all of them, plus 12 pack. This unit used 40-60 watts and was easily ran from a solar panel. The best part of this unit besides the space is the LIDS. They can be opened either direction and lifted off. This came with baskets so I was able to bring into house and put everything in the baskets carry out to the truck pop the lids and drop in. Close lids DONE that easy WOW. I know I am late to this game but glad to be here now. I used to take 2-3 yeti's have to freeze the blue cubes and get ice. Now I use my roadie to just have ice, for adult beverages. If I could do over I would have literally saved money. No more soggy packages or having to bag everything and buy ice and worry about ice. I didn't know how much that weighted on me but now I do the peace of mind and maintaining food quality and integrity. This unit is big but worth all the space it consumes. If you're a small family the 55 would probably be fine, just hard to think that after all these years of using ice and never getting to use all the space for food.
