Alpicool X40 Portable Car Fridge

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.

Useless user manual. There are 5 settings, E1, E2, ..E5. But not a single word of what each setting does. Now looking for tips from user videos. It appears it mostly needs to be kept plugged into power to keep things cool.
