Alpicool C15

EDIT 5 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE: Still haven't had a reply from customer service. :/ EDIT, DAY 10: STILL NO RESPONSE FROM CUSTOMER SERVICE! EDIT, DAY 4: SENT TO CUSTOMER SERVICE YESTERDAY. NO REPLY! "We need guidance on how to use this as a freezer while it's plugged into the wall at home, please. #1. It seems unclear as to what MODE it should be when plugged into the wall at home. #2. It's been plugged in and set to -4°F for 3 days and, while it's keeping things cold, nothing is FROZEN. (We have planned to use it to keep ice packs frozen, so it's filled with ice packs.) #3. The booklet says to put it at -14°F for ice cream. However, our unit will not go below -4°F. Could you please educate us on how to use it as a freezer, at home, plugged into the wall with the provided cord? Thank you!" (WILL UPDATE WITH RESPONSE IF RECEIVED) EDIT, DAY 3: It's been set at -4°F for 3 days, filled with ice gel packs that we know get hard when frozen, and they're still liquid. Very very cold, but still soft. I emailed the company for advice. Will update. Original post: I have no regrets on day one. Immediately after plugging to AC indoor power, it started getting cold, but you can just BARELY hear it! It's a fan noise, whisper quiet. If I had to sleep in close quarters with it, it would not disturb my sleep or peace. Got this to keep 12 of the LARGE SIZE COOLER SHOCK PREMIUM ICE PACKS (available at Amazon) frozen in order to rotate out to a plain ice chest or other 12v refrigerator (depending on what we get; we're not there yet) OR even to keep our big freezer in the sticks-n-bricks as backup in case of SHTF. We will rotate in the spent ones from our ice chest or fridge into the Alpicool to re-freeze at 0°F (having put the other 6, FROZEN ones in the ice chest for the next night. Saw this general technique on Lulu's Way YouTube channel and it seems to work amazingly, though she used hard ice "bricks" and I'm trying these as they say they're "colder and lighter than ice." (Not cheap, but it's a one-time investment for a system we think will last longer term. Hope!) If anyone needs this info, this Alpicool chest holds 6 LARGE laid flat and stacked horizontally inside the freezer. I bought 12 so I can always have 6 being frozen and 6 more at hand to keep the ice chest cold without getting soupy with ice water. If we have any problems I'll let ya know. But so far we are really grateful we were able to grab one. Must-have for any prepper or no_mad!

Literally, this wonderful, cost-effective, and thoroughly dependable unit saved my little girl’s life. We were faced with a HUGE dilemma when having to move over 1,000+ miles from Florida up to our new home in the Northeast. I’ll explain... Our daughter is a Type 1 insulin-dependent diabetic. Insulin is extremely temperature sensitive medication. If not being used with a 30 day period, insulin MUST be stored between roughly 34 degrees—45 degrees (approx.). When moving in a car across the US, it’s very tricky to be able to consistently temperature regulate anything, let alone a very sensitive life-saving med that is prone to denaturation. This wonderful Alpicool car fridge resolve all of my fears and issues about the insulin. It was a total champ through the entire 3-day car ride. It kept a consistent temp (give or take a degree C) the whole trip. I used a standard manual fridge thermometer and a digital thermometer with two sensors (for a total of three measuring devices) to ensure that the contents in the Alpicool retained a safe temperature within my given medication tolerances. The Alpicool performed perfectly! I was able to easily adjust the internal temp of the unit with the simple digital temp controls on the outside of the unit by a degree Celsius at a time. Opening the door of the unit allowed me to warm the inside when the unit was cooling a bit too much, and I’d also just raise the temp a bit, too. I was able to use the car plug while traveling, and the wall plug when we checked into our hotels at night. The cooler maintained the internal temp beautifully in the interim from car-to-hotel and vice-versa. Inside the car, the Alpicool fit beautifully on my front passenger seat, and it would’ve fit horizontally or vertically in my mid-sized Escape (just FYI). Also, the unit is very quiet, even when the compressor kicks in. Its important to know that you must make sure to keep the vents unblocked on both sides of the unit so the Alpicool can do it’s job. This is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. I’d tell any family of a diabetic or person with diabetes to order this life-saving product. It’s important to note, the Alpicool was not just a one-time moving essential for our family: we will continue to enjoy the peace-of-mind that accompanies this purchase as it shields and protects our child’s life-saving insulin. I love that I can use this if the power goes out...or if there is a zombie apocalypse, lol. Seriously, the Alpicool is amazing! A million thanks to the manufacturer of thus product.

I purchased this refrigerator for a road trip from Canada to Mexico. It worked great for keeping a few things cold during my trip. Not a large capacity but exactly what I wanted/needed. Best of all it's QUIET. I did a fair amount of research into which one I should buy and decided on this one for a number of factors (low noise, 12V plus 110, etc). It took me a couple of days to determine the best temperature setting (so that no freezing happened) and once I determined the correct temperature for my needs, it kept my perishables cold and maintained the temperature throughout many external weather changes. It was also the perfect size and on my road trip it was easy to take into my hotels at night to plug into 110. To conclude, I'm very happy with it and highly recommend it.

Trabaja Perfecto pero aveces truena cuando lleva rato conectado

Still working till today

I tested the item on DC power outlet at 3 degrees Celsius. The fridge worked for a few hours with no issue then suddenly the compressor started to turn on/off repeatedly non stop every few seconds. i noticed this when the temp reached 14 degrees Celsius.

El producto llegó en muy buenas condiciones, y si llega a enfriar hasta -20 grados y le caben varias cosas, viene en grados Fahrenheit y para pasarlo a centígrados hay que descargar una app de apicool en el celular y te conectas por medio del bluetooth y desde ahí lo cambias y bajas la temperatura
