You’ll Definitely Want to Buy One of These 8 Portable Fridges After Reading Our Reviews

Shopping
year ago

The refrigerator was recognized as the most important innovation in the history of food and drink. And not for nothing. Since it was invented, people don’t have to resort to canning, pickling, or salting their food to preserve it.

A long time has passed since Thomas Jefferson’s “ice house,” an attempt to cool food with actual blocks of ice. Here we are now. Not only do we have the luxury of using the most modern cooling technology, but we also have incredible portable versions for different purposes. So let’s embrace the opportunity and dive into our research to figure out which one is the best option for you.

1. Great camping item: A portable 10-liter fridge with a handle for easy carry and a wire for a car connection can be quickly taken wherever you go. The product is tiny and will fit perfectly even on the smallest counter. There is a cool or warm option, and it is silent. A nice little compartment on the side and a bright light add to the comfort of using this tiny fridge.

Features:

  • Voltage: ‎‎12 volts (DC)
  • Defrost system: automatic
  • Special features:‎ adjustable shelves
  • Product dimensions: ‎‎25 cm x 32.5 cm x 35.2 cm and weighs 3.04 kilograms

Cons to consider:

  • The new item has a strong chemical odor.

Promising review:

The refrigerator arrived quickly, nicely packed, and in great condition. A glass of water was nice and cold after about 15 minutes in a 70-degree room. I will use it for camping with my Cube.
Will hold a pint of milk, butter, eggs, some bacon, and a couple of hamburgers. Yes, when it was first opened, there was a strong chemical odor from the length of time it had been sealed shut, but that was quickly and easily solved by washing the inside with undiluted ammonia and then putting a little bowl of the ammonia inside overnight. Leaving the door slightly ajar when it is being stored is a good idea.
Love the handle. Overall, I am very pleased with this product. — Pat

2. Impressively large capacity: 22-liter portable freezer with an LED display that comes in handy and helps you check and set the temperature in poor light. The cooling process is pretty fast that is very convenient in a hurry. A nice bonus: an ice cube tray is included.

Features:

  • Voltage: ‎‎12 volts
  • Defrost system: manual
  • Special features: portable
  • Product dimensions: ‎‎61cm x 36 cm x 39 cm and weighs 12.11 kilograms

Promising review:

Having looked at these for some time and comparing them to some similar “triple the price” ones, have to say this is the best value! Uses a small amount of power, can be left on when you have solar on the van, and stays cool for a long time if turned off to save battery power. Love it! — Trevor Taylor

Promising review:

I wanted a mini-fridge for camping that could hold essentials like a pint of milk, some butter, bacon, etc. While its capacity is small, it certainly meets my needs. It is easily portable and very quiet during operation. Probably not suitable for family use, but it works for a lone camper. — Nigel

Promising review:

Brought it for a long trip for work training. It’s set up in my dorm room at the moment, though, and seems good. A little loud, but gets cold fast. I think it should be fine in the car. — Daylight cosplays

Promising review:

I use my mini fridge in my room at the care home. I can keep drinks cold, snacks like cheese and mini pies don’t have to go in the kitchen and where they are therefore inaccessible to me. The fridge is lightweight and has a handle to carry it around, useful for picnics. It is so quiet that, despite sitting by my bed, I never hear it.
DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!! — Amazon Customer
