1. Does the Alpicool car refrigerator use a compressor for cooling?
Yes, all Alpicool car refrigerators use compressor for cooling
2. Does the car fridge have a power cord?
Yes, our car refrigerators all contain an AC power adapter and a DC power cord.
3. What is the difference between LGCF45 and CF45? What does 'LG' mean?
Except for the compressor, LGCF45 and CF45 have the same configurations. LGCF45 uses LG compressor, and CF45 uses Chinese compressor. 'LG' refers to Korean LG compressor.
4. Which models use LG compressors?
We currently only use LG compressors for LGT50/LGT60/LGCF45/LGCF55.
5. How long is the warranty?
1 year warranty for the whole machine and 2 year warranty for the compressor.
6. Does it work like a regular cooler when it is not plugged in?
It can stay cool for about 4 hours without being plugged in.
7. How loud is the compressor when running on Eco mode?
When you use the refrigerator in your car and plug it into a 12V socket, the noise is almost imperceptible!
8. Can I simultaneously have different temperatures between the freezer and refrigerator?
Dear customer, you can chose the Alpicool T series, TA series,TAW series, they have dual temperature control function in one refrigerator for your needs.
9. The CF45 was delivered upside-down, not sure how long the unit was upside-down. Will the unit still work properly?
If the box was undamaged, do not plug it in until after reading the instructions, inspecting it, and after sitting right side up for the minimum of 12 hours or following the instructions in the booklet included. Plugging a refrigeration unit in after moving it at angles over 45 degrees can burn out the compressor motor as the fluids have not settled. Settling takes time. Ours works great! came on a wheelbarrow, moved onto a ship, unboxed on end, sat unplugged in the chosen location for the required time, plugged in and set up according to instructions.
10. Will the fan/compressor turn off when the unit reaches set temp, and then turn on again when it gets too warm?
Yes that is how it operates. It cools to the set temp, warms up and repeats.
11. Photos of the C40 show the top openings from the ends and sides. Which way is accurate?
You can switch the door opening to either direction with the already provided hinges.
12. Is it possible to replace the K18 with a 12V adapter?
Yes, you can get AC/DC and 12V power cables online. Make sure the adapter fits Alpicool.
13. Just received unit and it will not turn on. control panel lit up, it beeped and shut off. no response from ac or dc. what is the issue?
You have to hold the on button down for about 3-4 seconds. It won’t turn on by just touching the button.

This is my 3rd Alpicool fridge (T55, G22 and this X40).
All of them are running continuously 24/7 with either AC adapter or car DC outlet and they are all working fine so far.

This is the second X40 I have purchased in the past few weeks. I'm going to be embarking on a new adventure, 'truck-camping' in my pickup with my dog and needed a dependable fridge and freezer. I will be using one X40 as a fridge and the other X40 as a freezer.
My dog eats Farmer's Dog food which needs to be kept frozen until ready to serve. An extended trip of 6-8 weeks would require quite a few pouches of frozen food. This is not food that can be purchased on the road. The X40 has enough room to store his food and still leaves me space for my frozen food.
Using the second X40 as a fridge will allow me to have fresh food, drinks, veggies, and fruit as I travel, as well as being able to store leftovers. So much better than eating out while on the road.
Since there is no 'after-market' insulated bag that fits these units, I may attempt to make one so as to increase the insulation and decrease the amount of power needed to keep the units cool/cold.
After delivery, I allowed each X40 to sit in my house and settle for over 24 hours before plugging them in to test them. Both reached the set temperature within 50-60 minutes, on ECO mode, and maintained the temperature with no issue.
I will be using a Jackery 1000 to power these units and like that they draw 60W or less when running. I also have the option to plug the units into the DC jacks in the bed of my pickup. They are relatively quiet, almost like a very low volume 'white noise' similar to the humidifier I run overnight in my bedroom. I hardly notice it.
Looking forward to many years, and many trips with these Alpicool X40 fridges/freezers.

I Luv the Alpicool X40.
I just wish I could find
a cover for the fridge,
for when I’m camping.

Honestly I’ve got nothing bad to say about this product, fits great in my semi, not much noise just a little hum and keeps all my meals and drinks cold. I’ve dropped it, turned a corner a bit hard and had it slipped off from its spot, accidentally wet it and let it dry over night, works like a champ. Shoot all the abuse I’ve given it because of my line of work, it’s been running great and doesn’t even have much of a scratch! Highly recommend this brand and this product, it’s been 6 months since I’ve had it and has outlasted the other brand product I was using.

This refrigerator what I needed for my camper van conversion. It cools quickly and is very quiet. It has a lot of space inside but the footprint of a cooler. I had an issue with the plastic cracking but after contacting the company a replacement was sent out.
