• 12 Volt Car Refrigerator

    I bit the bullet.

    I bought a BODEGACOOLER 12 Volt Car Refrigerator, 25L Car Fridge Portable Freezer (-4℉-68℉).

    On sale for Cyber Monday - $179.99. About half price.

    It's huge! So much bigger than what I was planning. I just couldn't help myself, it was too good of a deal.

    It has two compartments, though technically not dual zone. The smaller compartment does not get as cold as the larger one, but does not have separate temperature controls.

    Cold drinks, no ice required, and no more wondering if my food stayed cool enough!

    I'm 2 weeks in to my first season with a fridge - and I can't say that I'm loving it. It doesn't fit where I had planned to put it, sucks power, and produces a ton of heat.

    For a 5 day camping trip, I ended up only running it at night and setting it to freeze. I've been on the go since then, and only running it while driving. It's more like a self cooling cooler than a fridge. I'm not sure it's worth it for the space it takes up.
