Best Portable Fridges / Freezers

Spent 2 weeks camping in Flinders Ranges SA, used Bushman fridge as a freezer. Had lots of freezer meals for remote areas. Impressed with storage… Read more

stacking capacity, baskets stacked to 3 levels. Worked incredibly well. Very happy with our new purchase. Highly recommend.

This is the second fridge I have purchased. The first fridge is in my Land Cruiser, it's been faultless and fits perfectly. I still have the Land… Read more

Cruiser but have purchased a new Ranger Super Duty. Let's just say, after having one of these fridges for so long in the Land Cruiser, the Ford needed one as well. We just had a weekend away on K'gari and everyone was very impressed with the ice cold beverages. It runs off a second battery, and I leave it turned on 24/7. So far, it has not turned itself off due to low SOC. Would be impossible to find anything better than this little fridge. Many thanks to Bushman.

Been using this on a few camping trips and it’s a bloody trooper. Keeps the beers cold and the snags fresh, whether you’re running it off gas, 12V,… Read more

or mains. Runs quiet as a mouse and doesn’t chew through much juice. Bit old-school, but rock solid – built tough and does the job without any fuss.

So happy with the bushman draw fridge. It was easy to install with the supplied brackets and comes ready with an anderson plug connector. I am… Read more

running this draw fridge along with a bushman centre console fridge powered by a 200w solar panel that gets about 2 hours sun each day. Both fridges have been running non stop for several weeks now.

This fridge was bought for work ute, but gets used camping as well. Over ten years has had hard life in back of ute, keeps working. Has been… Read more

underwater in two floods. Cleaned up and plugged in, away it goes. I cannot praise this fridge enough. Absolute beauty and will get another when time comes

Disappointed – After wanting an Evakool Ice box for some time, as they are supposed to be the best, and thinking I was supporting an Australian business, I bought a… Read more

60ltr infinity ice box.

Initially I wasn’t overly impressed at the thin walls and flimsy lid that actually flexes the hinges when full open under its own weight.

A test at home wasn’t any better at ice retention than my existing tropical box.

Then when looking in greater detail on the website I find they are now made in the Philippines.

Overall not as well built as expected and not made in Australia as I thought.

If companies are going to manufacture overseas, fine, but it should be made clear and there should be a drastic reduction in price to reflect this, but there isn’t it’s still a $500 esky!

Purchase this 15ltr fridge/ freezer to use for small items like sandwiches and drinks, dog treats when at dog trials etc. Received on Friday powered… Read more

up cold within a hour ready for work have used it twice over the weekend and are very impressed by the way it has performed . Enough room for all we need and keeps good temperature, the good weight and shape makes it very easy to move / handle when moving it in and out of the vehicle as it is not permanently mounted moving between two vehicles. Power consumption is fantastic uses very little power very impressed, I have teamed this fridge up with a kings 24Ah power pack and wow that makes life easy,( when the price is right again may buy another 24Ah power pack) as they are so handy plus weight wise are perfect. Used very little of the battery power over the two days, My other battery system is way heavy and bigger getting hard to move it in and out. I know the temperature at the moment is cool but still don’t think that summer running will give us any problems, also have a AC to 12V adaptor plug so cool down before use is not a problem either, And the price is fantastic really happy with everything. The service from kings has been unreal every time i have made a purchase can’t fault them.

Best on the market – Only downside is the size and weight but build quality is top notch and doesn’t miss a beat on 12v and 240v. Would recommend highly. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Show details

Good fridge.. only problem when I got it home the night before a trip away, opened the box to see I was sold a scratched and dented unit. Show details

Let’s be honest here the KINGS 40ltr fridge freezer is a budget priced entry level product. If money is no object to you then you can easily spend… Read more

almost 10 times as much for a similar size market topping fridge freezer, the choice of course is yours.

I went with KINGS partly on price but mainly because it fitted perfectly in my available space in the box on my ute without requiring a heavy (payload reducing) slide out.

I run it as a dedicated freezer 24/7 with dedicated solar and battery, interestingly about a month after the warranty ran out it died, in the vein hope that it might be covered I contacted KINGS explaining that it was just out of warranty when it died, I was asked to take it to the nearest store for evaluation, this took about a week, they found the fault but rather than repair it I was issued a new fridge.

KINGS were under absolutely no obligation to honour the warranty but they did, you often hear horror stories of companies ducking, weaving and ghosting customers to get out of honouring warranty claims, none of that here for me.

KINGS have won a loyal customer and an advocate.

Seems to be a good fridge when working ? after my last review when it stopped working , now the 240 conversion board has failed , so my local repair… Read more

agent sold me a plug in 12 volt converter unit to run on 12 volt only , rather than spend another $ 400.00 for repair , $150.00 later , back in action

So far so good. Works the way I want it to. I'm not sure if I use my email receipt as a proof of purchase for the warranty but other than that it's good.

Mine works well on 240 volts at home. It's useless in the car. I can't start the car when it's plugged in Only after the car can I plug it in. Si… Read more

it's dangerous if I ever stall the car at anintersection. I can't run it on a lifepo4 100 amp hr battery in a powered battery box either at 2.8 volts the fridge battery F1 fault comes up.

Hasn’t missed a beat – We used it for 1 month in Tasmania with a mix of 240V and 12v power. Worked like a charm, didn’t drain much from my little 44ah battery or 200w… Read more

solar blanket. Kept food frozen when closed up for overnight ferry due to its good insulation. Have just been using it for the last two months as a spare freezer at home during isolation and it’s been fine.

roads. They are very quite with no vibration at night while sleeping. They will not work using the cigarette lighter plug. It will work while driving and the voltage is higher but once stopped and the battery voltage drops to 12.5v the voltage at the fridge is down to 11,5 and it shuts off to protect the compressor. I have them hard wired with 6mm wire and anderson plugs straight to battery and they work great. I am mainly writing this review because of all the bad reviews from people saying there fridge turns off after an hour. I had a Engel 29lt fridge for 24 years before these 2. It worked great but the noise and vibration from the swing compressor was very annoying. Also you cant sit on the lid whereas you can with a ARB

Purchased in Jan 2016 for $900.

When I travel to go camping, I cover the cooler in an old doona I purchased in an opshop, for added insulation, and when I have set up camp, again… Read more

cover with a doona. I make a point to open it a minimum number of times. As the ice melts, make sure nothing is getting drenched, and keep the chilly water for as long as possible. If you drain the cold water, there is more space than needs to be cooled by the remaining ice. With a little knowledge about the way a esky/chilly bin, cooler works, can have a wonderful camping experience. This is an excellent product. Hygienic and easy to clean. Has a handy drain.

small side supposedly in negative temps the whole time, however the ice cream became completely liquid and water bottle not even a little bit frozen. It's also quite poor at maintaining temperature with wild variation around what you set, not even using eco mode or anything.

from the motorhome in the night and had no problems at all,I now use it as a spare fridge at home and it's still going strong

I purchased this fridge 5 years ago & 6 months in, the thing couldn't reach the appropriate temperature. I sent emails to this company & they… Read more

couldn't give a toss. They don't back thier warranty, scammers & ripp off merchants. I hardly even used the fridge, It was always powered off mains & was in a temperature controlled environment. PATHETIC PRODUCT! If I see this guy on the street I will kick his hind quarters into the next world. Liars & thieves, DO NOT BUY!!!

At $159, including a cover I thought this fridge was too cheap to be any good, so I put it to the test. I already have a Kings Stayzcool 45L fridge… Read more

that has worked well over the past 12 months so I bought this smaller 20L fridge as a backup drinks fridge. I filled the fridge with 24 x 375ml VB cans to provide a thermal mass and measured power consumption using an inline wattmeter and internal temperature using an Inkbird fridge thermometer. The fridge was powered using a Bluetti AC70 power pack. The ambient temperature during the tests was 21°C. Here are the results: 1. Power setting MAX, Temp setting 2°C - Current draw with compressor running 3.7Ah (50 watts) average current draw over 24 hours 14.2Ah. 2. Power setting ECO, Temp setting 2°C - Current draw with compressor running 2.3Ah (30 watts) average current draw over 24 hours 9.1Ah. 3. Actual fridge Temp on both settings: Min 1.3°C, Max 4.6°C average 2.3°C. I opened one of the VB cans and measured the beer temperature using a food thermometer: result 2.4°C - Perfect! I then changed the 375ml cans for freezer blocks and set the fridge temperature on -18°C to see how it performs as a freezer. Power setting MAX: 24hr current draw 18.6Ah, internal temp -14°C (although the fridge's built in thermometer indicated -17°C). Conclusions If you're thinking of buying one of these fridges it works very well as a drinks/food fridge and OK as a short term freezer. It will be interesting to see how well it stands up to hot weather. I'll do another review in the summer. Keep an eye on the Kings web site as the price varies from week to week. It's often cheaper to buy it as part of a bundle that a standalone fridge.

Fits my the slider in my truck perfectly! Easy to set the temperature and has all the plug in power options. Show details

Unreal little fridge – After buying a dometic cf11 and it subsequently failing after 6months I managed to get a hold of one of these MD14F fridges. It’s set to -11c and for… Read more

24/7 that’s all it’s does. Just works. At 41c ambient it sits in -10.3c. I don’t have to worry about it. It just works. Can’t beat an Engel. Perfect size for a freezer or small fridge. Only thing I don’t like is you have to have a thermometer inside to adjust the temp to where you want it and after getting it right it’s good to go.

When people install a fridge themselves without basic knowledge or understanding that ventilation and air flow is vital. I have had to constantly… Read more

educate people on installing requirements. With the brass monkey if you do build inside a enclosure you need to install a 12v ventilation fan or make sure there's adequate air flow. The power draw is only 8amps. And the reason why a fan was never fitted was to reduce power consumption. And most rv don't have a lot of powere. This is the most economical fridge for its size and very reliable if fitted by someone knowledgeable.

No Legend In Reliability – Bought my 32L due to Engel's reputation for reliability and longevity. At only 11 years young, with weekend use once a month, sadly my 32L has died… Read more

due to an apparent blockage in the cooling system. Over $800 to repair, while a new unit costs $1200. I would expect this from a cheaper fridge, but Engel promotes their product as being superior and built to last. I won't be forking out the extra cash for another Engel, as I have friends who've had better longevity from cheaper brands.

Fantastic does the job required. Should have got one long ago and not listened to people Show details

Fantastic ! and I can use it at home as a bar fridge or bar freezer. I now just have to purchase a 240v plugin and I’ll be set. Show details
