BODEGA BODEGACOOLER 12 Volt Car Refrigerator,38 Quart Portable Freezer Fridge,Car Fridge Dual Zone WIFI APP Control,(36L)-4℉-68℉Car Cooler 12/24V DC and 100-240V AC for Outdoor,RV,Travel,Camping

I’ve had this cooler for about two years now and for the most part, it’s worked as expected. The dual-zone feature is genuinely useful; I like being able to keep meat frozen in one side while the other stays just cold enough for drinks and snacks. It’s been great for road trips, camping weekends, and even came in clutch as backup fridge space during a crowded holiday gathering. When it’s running, it cools quickly and holds temp pretty reliably, even when packed full. That said, it’s not without issues. After about a year, the extendable handle broke while I was wheeling it across the driveway with a full load. I wasn’t slamming it around or doing anything wild. These things happen, and honestly, I wasn’t mad about it. I expected to be able to buy a replacement handle. But despite several attempts to reach the manufacturer (emails, contact forms, etc) I never got a single response. Not one. So now I’ve got a 50-pound cooler that’s awkward as hell to move without the handle. Still usable, just a pain. It’s also louder than I expected. Not jet-engine loud, but you’ll notice it humming along, especially if it’s indoors or in a quiet campsite. For the price, I expected better support and a bit more durability. It’s a decent product when it works, but don’t count on any help if something goes wrong.

We bought this to replace a Peltier-type cooler we had for many years after it finally gave up the ghost. We wanted a compressor-type unit that would: 1. get really cold no matter the outside temp; and 2. would not be a current hog so it could be used with solar panels & a battery when needed. We also wanted something quiet. All three objectives met. We hit the camping trail in Michigan's upper penguin-insula ("Da U.P") for three weeks and left it plugged into the Durango's rear 12V outlet, which is only active when the car runs. To cover out-and-about ignition off-times, I simply filled the lower part of the freezer section with 6 or 8 blue ice blocks for a big thermal mass and set it fairly low. The cooler side was set to 38*F and filled with carbonated water cans. We had ice cold water at all times everywhere we went, (over 1500 miles...) and kept meats and cheese snacks cold in there as well. Kids loved it. At camp we plugged it into an extension cord using the AC power adapter included, so this unit ran nearly 24-7 for three weeks. The small amount of heat generated by the compressor was useful too, as it helped keep my Martin acoustic guitar (in a good case) from getting too cool in the car during nights that often touched 50 degrees. The compressor is whisper-quiet. Only niggle I noticed was the sensitivity of the touch-control panel - it beeps when disturbed and I felt like I could not work anywhere around it without setting it off inadvertently with some random body part. As a result I was often checking the display to make sure I had not accidentally changed a setting. [NOTE TO THE ENGINEERS:] It's a very very minor thing, but perhaps a "lock" function could be set up in the software on future versions such that you have to hold a key (or keys) for several seconds before adjustments can be made. I found the settings to be "set and forget", so locking them once set would just make sense. Seems to be well-made and it way-outperformed the Coleman Peltier-Junction unit it replaced. Freezing the ice blocks solid was never an issue during our trip. I bought the 2-year warranty, so we'll see how it fares on reliability over time. Pleasantly surprised. UPDATE AUG 2024. We took two trips this year with the cooler - one to Florida for spring break to see my parents, and one in July, a 3000-mile camping trip to Maine's Acadia National Park. In both cases the cooler remained inside our 2018 Durango, I just unplugged the unit's 12V cable and plugged in the included power supply's cable instead, and ran it overnight on 120VAC or anytime the car was parked. The Durango shuts power to the 12V lighter plug in the back whenever the car is off for a while, so running the battery down is not a concern. This kept nice cold seltzer water on hand and snacks too during our daily car trips. Still running like a champ. My kids love it as much as I do. Wish I could buy a dehumidifier that was this reliable...

UPDATE: Reports of difficulty connecting to phone Bluetooth are accurate. Biggest tip is use the QZsmart app (scanning the QR code was problematic for me as reader kept going to wrong app while searching android play store didn't find the app either) and be on a 2.4Gz network with your phone (also problematic as I forget my 2.4G extender password). But once resolved setup was fairly easy. The app is intuitive and biggest advantage is being able to monitor the cooler while driving to make sure it is working properly in in the cargo area where you can't just glance at it. Otherwise, you might get an unwelcome surprise when you stop somewhere only to find out the cooler was not working. I tested the cooler immediately after delivery with the assumption that the cooler was only transported in the upright position, so maybe these test results are skewed if the refrigerant needs to settle. After 30 minutes on house power: The refrigerator section reached the set temperature of 40 degrees (per the led indicator), although the bottle of water inside only felt cool, not cold. The freezer section reached an indicated 33 degrees of the set temperature of 20 degrees. The bottle of water inside was only cool and no where near freezing. After 60 minutes on house power: The refrigerator section maintained the set temperature of 40 degrees and the bottle of water inside felt chilled enough for a refreshingly cool drink. The freezer section reached the 20 degree set temperature. The bottle of water inside was chilled but still along way from starting to freeze. Moved cooler to idling Tacoma truck bed and plugged into the 110V 400W Max / 100W Min bed outlet. After additional 30 minutes (90 mins total) the cooler display read 40/30 degrees. The outside temperature was 80 degrees and the truck was idling in the sun with cab A/C running. The truck bed has a BakFlip4 cover so the cooler was not in direct sunlight. I'm guessing that at driving speeds the outlet would produce higher watts and the cooler would do better. Moved cooler to idling RAV4 and plugged into 12V/120W cargo outlet for another 30 minutes. The outside temperature was 80 degrees and the RAV was idling in the sun with A/C running. After 30 minutes the temperature was 40/20 degrees. Interesting that the cooler did better with RAV4 12V/120W outlet at idle than the Tacoma 110V bed outlet at idle. Maybe due to cargo area getting A/C benefit. Both bottles of water were very chilled at the end of two hours. The water in the freezer was nowhere near freezing but maybe a little colder than the bottle in the refrigerator side. Guessing that freezing will take 5 to 6+ hours. When camping it will run on a 3500W generator or shore power. No error codes were ever thrown. Overall I'm satisfied. If this cooler operates well for years it will be worth the money.

Creo que aislamiento térmico de la nevera no está bien le faltaría un poco más de aislamiento. Por lo demás funciona correcto congela y enfría adecuadamente

Good frige freezer. Works well for 2 years

Molto molto spazioso, ottimo per chi ama viaggiare e soprattutto utile per l'estate! Io l'ho comprato appunto in preparazione alle vacanze estive. Ho approfittato questi giorni che le temperature stanno iniziando a salire per provare questo frigo: magnifico! Abbiamo montato su in macchina e siamo andati a fare un giro questo weekend, ci ha dato molto soddisfazione questo frigo: mantiene molto basse le temperature perciò il cibo e soprattutto le bevande risultano freschissime, inoltre è molto molto capiente!!! Ottima qualità, molto molto robusto. Facile da usare e da pulire. Lo si può tranquillamente anche usare anche a casa come un minibar per le bevande.

Tutto quello che cercavo!!!! Frigorifero da auto/camion perfetto. Velocissimo nel raggiungere la temperatura desiderata, silenziosissimo, robusto e facilmente trasportabile. Utilizzando il divisorio interno, le due temperature (facilmente modificabili sia con app da cellulare che da pannello posto sul lato del frigo) sono settabili molto facilmente e affidabili. Funzionalità perfetta sia a 24 V che a 12 V. Insomma non avrei chiesto di meglio.

First 2 weeks was awsem, now i keeps making a loud bang every 2 minits when it starts cooling. I dont know if i got a broken one or that this is normal. If i got a broken one, thats sucks but without the loud bang this thing would be awsem
