*Great **Generater.Systems** . Our 1st 2500W Champion backed us up with hurricane Ida last August when our whole home generator crapped out after 8 days. Love the dual fuel. Hope to never run gasoline in it.Bought this 2500W to parallel with our other one for the RV.*
We have used the ruclips.net/user/postUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!
I just got my Alpicool yesterday 4/7/23. The cosmetics changed. This one is green and light gray. Got it from Amazon. Mine is the 15L. I may try to buy the lid so I can make the unit a 20L when I want to. In 20 minutes it went from 64 to 45 degrees. I’m pleased with it. I set it for 38 degrees. The display is different from yours. No usb. I’m happy with mine. $179 includes tax. My 500 jackery is tolerating it just fine. I have a solar panel so I will have a great fridge for camping. 5 days a week I commute to a school bus driver job. I have to stay there all day. It will be nice to carry healthy foods like fruits, yogurt etc.
Just FYI anyone who runs a 290wh or 240wh Jackery with a fridge, I was able to use my 240 and run my Alpicool CF55 for 26 hours running as a fridge. Keep in my mind results may vary and my night portion was around 5 degrees (30’s) overnight. My 120watt solar could in theory with full sunlight during the day can keep my fridge running indefinitely. Its my back up as I use a 100ah lithium 12v battery as my main power source.
Cool I bought the vevor 48 liter and wanted to use a Bluetti or Jackery or combo and a 200 watt panel to run the fridge and led lights and 12 volt Caframo boat fans
what are the odds. im buying this fridge used for cheap, and have a jackery 240. a legit fridge/battery situation is to come way later, but i stumbled upon a good deal on the fridge to use on a few shakedown runs. sounds like it might actually last me longer than i thought with your results. thanks a lot!
Don't have it in ECO mode. Apparently it draws more power then normal move. Reason why is it kicks on longer drawing less watts but for a longer period of time. Drains the solar generators much more.
So camping, you can use the Jackery at night during quiet time and then power both up with ALP propane generator with 60 hour run time on a 20 gallon propane tank during the days.
Fantastic! This is the video I was looking for ... I already have the Jakery 1000pro ... and I go back to Italy on a regular basis... that lil'fridge is right up my alley, I can finally bring back some good frozen meats =) Thanks!!
Thank you for this review. Thorough and logica, very well donel. would love to see an update when system is in vehicle with solar panel. I'm unclear as to how quickly the Jackery will take charge from solar panel.
I bought the same. Looks like your. I noticed the manual doesn’t say alpicool unlike what I saw in other review. So far I noticed the loud humming sound when compressor kicks in and temperature is off.
Did you get your from Amazon? The humming with mine is barely noticeable, but I do believe the temperature can be a few degrees off and others have reported it can be re-calibrated through the settings.
Thank you for making this vid. i found it extremely helpful and informative. i have the jackery 240 and solar saga 60 watt panel and im trying to find a fridge that make sense. The only questions i still have after watching your vid is What percent of a fully charged 240 is used to get an alpicool 20L to 34F? and How long will a fully charged jackery 240 keep a precooled alpicool 20L at 34F?
Honestly I think a 240 with a 60w panel would only keep a small fridge like this running for 2 days before it runs out of juice. One way to reduce the draw from the Jackery is to plug the fridge to the wall at your house or the AC port on your car to get it down to 34F FIRST, then plug it into the jackery just to have it maintain the temperature since it should only turn on periodically. Please keep in mind a sunny week vs a cloudy week OR a super hot day or cool day will also make a huge difference in how long the Jackery will keep the fridge running.
@PatOutdoors so do you have the jackery charging at the same time from a solar panel? I had planned to do this to make sure the jackery stays topped up and doesn't run out
@@PatOutdoors sorry buddy my bad lol I meant the little box attached to the aloicool power lead. I just read up and it’s buzzing due to alternating power current so they say. Thanks for getting back to me.
@@PatOutdoors In the video you said that we might be wondering if Taller items would fit and you showed us. I thought it was funny because that's exactly what I was thinking when you said it.
The fridge will always be on, but the compressor only comes on when it needs to in order to maintain the temperature. It will likely turn on more during the day since the car will get hotter with the sun than it would at night. But yes, it would be running off the reserves on the Jackery (which is charged with the Solar panel.)

I bought this fridge n have similar battery. Battery will be dead before its even cold unless you start with frozen water bottles and fill it with cold food n drinks. Even than the battery will be dead in 5 hrs
If you’re looking to get the fridge down in temp with using as little battery as possible, putting ice in it would help conserve power. Also keeping the fridge space packed with items helps with battery usage. Items hold the cold, whereas the air by itself doesn’t.

You are a legend, this is just what I needed. Simple and well explained!
Thank you sir!

Thanks for your time and effort. Very helpful!!!
Works great for me .the Bluetooth is to control the fridge and gives you more options on it
Nice thorough review. Very curious about temperature accuracy however.
Excellent video, just the info on the power draw I was looking for. thanks
So camping, you can use the Jackery at night during quiet time and then power both up with ALP propane generator with 60 hour run time on a 20 gallon propane tank during the days.

neat review but kinda lacked the usage as a fridge for 24 hours which is kinda helpful

Best review I’ve seen 👍
Do they make covers for this fridge

Did you get your from Amazon? The humming with mine is barely noticeable, but I do believe the temperature can be a few degrees off and others have reported it can be re-calibrated through the settings.
There are knock offs now
I set mine on a foam pad & it significantly reduced the noise.
@@goclunker how can you tell? Would I be ok ordering from amazon?
@@carl3810 different “brands”
Is it still working until now? Can you store it without any power when not in use for a long time?
Better to have a model with USB port so it can only powered by high powered Powerbank.

@@PatOutdoors I appreciate the reply. Thank you again, you've been very helpful....Subscribed.
Exactly what I need to know! Thanks
Ciao.... perchè usi il 12v e non la 220?
Hey buddy, how long is that cigarette lighter cord? Thank you by the way 👍🏼
Very helpful vid. thanks
Good deal. I'm looking for a shed type operation on some acreage I have.
If that's the case.. Then I would certainly go with at least a 500 Jackery and another extra 100W panel.
@@PatOutdoors Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Might go with a lithium battery setup.
@@scottslotterbeck3796 temp is key with the battery, if we live in cold or climate that can dip down, watch the battery... no bueno for the battery
Can you charge the jackery off the solar panel whilst running the fridge at the same time, or would that damage the jackery? Curious 😊
That doesn’t damage it, though this jackery can only keep it powered for 2-3 day periods. This is what I usually do.
@PatOutdoors so do you have the jackery charging at the same time from a solar panel? I had planned to do this to make sure the jackery stays topped up and doesn't run out
Bluetooth for an Apicool app😊
Hi buddy
I just brought one of these as watching your video 👍👍👍👍
Does you small transformer box make a buzzing noise ?
Good vid
The Jackery? Makes no noise at all, it’s solar
@@PatOutdoors sorry buddy my bad lol
I meant the little box attached to the aloicool power lead.
I just read up and it’s buzzing due to alternating power current so they say.
Thanks for getting back to me.
Twenty liter? I wish my c20 is only two liters. 😢
I was wondering if taller items would fit so thank you.
How tall? Sideways for sure. Also you can check out Alpicool's larger refrigerator options like this one: amzn.to/3FPAOHn
@@PatOutdoors In the video you said that we might be wondering if Taller items would fit and you showed us. I thought it was funny because that's exactly what I was thinking when you said it.
So exactly how tall is that OJ jar? A gallon milk jug or 2 liter soda bottle is kind of the standard people look for.
If you run a 100watt solar panel to the jackery 240 will the fridge be running off solar whale it's day time
The fridge will always be on, but the compressor only comes on when it needs to in order to maintain the temperature. It will likely turn on more during the day since the car will get hotter with the sun than it would at night. But yes, it would be running off the reserves on the Jackery (which is charged with the Solar panel.)
That's a feature called pass-trough charging. The Jackery + many of the others have it.
What is the battery indicator for ? Does this still run off battery when unplugged?
Great review btw 👍🏻
Same question
Hello i have seen ur video i have to know how to operate it
Este producto se vende en canarias
Is this product freze ice also
If you put a tray at the bottom, yes. But it would take at least 5-6 hours
22 hours at 40 degree's. 1000 watt would be 88 hours on full charge
