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 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… Read more · 1
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.
Friendly and very helpful staff. The site has plenty of good products Show reply
Seems to work fine. Lasts about 2-3 days on a 100 ah lithium battery with if left in the garage. When outside, it keeps going via a solar panel / driving. Show reply
We've have the fridge for almost 2 years without any issues, it's set to 2-4°C and performs consistently to keep drinks and food cold. Ours is the older version with the Secop compression, I understand from the reviews here and elsewhere that it doesn't perform well as a freezer due to small 1.4cc compressor having to work overtime but that's not a problem for our intended purpose.

Absolutely DIABOLICAL service from Kings 4wd supercentre! I emailed them on 14th April 2025 and sent a video of the error codes i kept getting the very first time I used my Console fridge. We are now on 24th June and they just keep going around and around in circles with me...the last email I received last week was can you send the video again as… Read more
they cannot find the email I sent it in. Think they are hoping that I will give up if they keep sending me in circles here ... Prior to this they had told me that my case had been escalated ! DO NOT EXPECT ANY AFTERCARE OR SERVICE FROM THESE GUYS ! Gone are the days when Customer service used to be honest and starlight forward!
Very reliable fridge – I bought the fridge over 3yrs ago, put it in my 4wd. It's been very good no problems it has been used a lot, also for 1 month at a time on several occasions. It handles the heat in the car well. My wife can get drinks or snacks out when were travelling and it's good for storing medication etc in the top shelf. I bought another one over Xmas as they were half the price I paid over 3yrs yrs ago. Show details · 2
What a great little fridge /freezer ! , – What a great little fridge/freezer, love the two fuse system, one in the power cable and one in the fridge itself . Protects the fridge from power supply issues and is easy to use. Great customer support . Show details · 1
Cannot complain about my Kings 15L fridge – Update to my review after purchase. Just returned from 2 weeks at Mt Howitt Vic where this fridge was pre chilled and had cold cans added, used only as my drinks fridge. At first was turned off over night as was cold but then left running 24/7 with voltage down to 12.9 lowest over night before solar kicked in. Drinks were always ice cold, I set indicator to 02 degrees which it maintained day and night. Show reply
JUNK...fuse blows DONT WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED DOSH – N.B****YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE FUSE YOURSELF!!! Purchased 6mths ago, went to use it Saturday 5th October stocked it up with cold drinks , cheese, salami, munchies ect (done same thing before) for a 3 hr drive to the beach. Half way into the journey we could smell something like it was burning and pulled over only to find out the fridge cacked… Read more
itself!!! We only used it two weeks before that for a 25hr trip and had no issues.
Well that was bad enough, that, that sucked, but we went into the Super centre in Toowoomba today, 7th October, only to get attitude from the "claims" person in charge of returns.
It took 3 people, 10mins to pull the whole thing apart to change the fuse. Seems like they're used to it eh!!! She also said its most likely just the fuse, it's a common fuse problem...we said we don't want the product then, especially if it's a known fault and one, that if we work on it, it would most likely void the warranty.
We would constantly be in the middle of no where when it would blow again, losing all our food only to have to go back to a super centre miles away to wait for them to go through the while thing again!!!
Is it just us or is it just a rediculas rigmarole to go through, especially since they know it's a FAULT with the product!!!
1.Fuses should be easily accessible to start with. 2.How bout rectify the known problem? 3. Give us our money back, it's still in warranty, we aren't happy with it!!
We left it with them, because she refused to refund it, we didn't want the useless product..what will we do with a product that can't be trusted????
We were also told it was just our opinion their products weren't up to scratch BUT it's fact when you have to keep taking them back or throwing them out!!!
We've also had two of the bigger, more expensive Kings Fridges fail, just out of warranty, that also had to be dumped. So where's the quality control that used to be there???
It's not the only expensive electrical equipment that's failed, we've had to either be replaced and or dumped. AND that's happend while we're camping last year and had to drive 5hrs, round trip.... twice in the one holiday!!!! Don't even get me started on the gazebos...
Yup we are filthy fed up with Kings products!
We have had to change brand to get quality products now and WILL NEVER BE GOING BACK, especially now we are given grief when we have to take their useless stuff back to them. P.s I will be leaving the same review on their store review too.
Sorry Kings, too many bad products coming through and we've lost hundreds of dollars if not over $1000...we've stopped counting.
***Beware***

This product is not fit for purpose! – I bought this for a small fridge/freezer just over a year ago. I used as fridge, until my big freezer was empty enough to swap to the kings 15ltr, and then use as freezer. I had nothing but trouble with Batteries going flat on my trip last winter. I am currently using it as an expensive terrible esky as its not good for that either! I took it into… Read more
the super Centre for testing and they said nothing was wrong. So have tested it myself at 4 degrees, as instructed by staff at store. I have attached my readings that indicates how poorly it runs. I will try and get a refund again, as it does draw more than 3.5 Amps whilst cooling. Consider these facts before you purchase. 11 Sept 2024 I am now currently testing amps in freezer mode so far it continuously draws 3 Amps and over non stop, I did record it reading low for 2 min over the few hours I checked. No matter how big your battery is or how much solar you have this product is not fit for purpose. Will post video proof soon.

very happy so far so good – I purchased this fridge just for drinks in car based camping as i have excellent 3 way fridges for more wilderness expeditions. Inside house first test on 240V empty fridge showed the start temp accurate 19 on fridge to 20c on house gauge. 12 minutes to get down from 19 to 3c on LED, inside on my freezer gauge was 7c. "not bad" Total half hour… Read more · 3
cycling to reach 3c inside which I am happy with. Decided to set to max -18c and see. Total time from 3c approx hour of cycling to reach constant -18c before running time versus static time became less. This unit should do me well for drinks and in emergency step up. With small fridges empty is a hard test also putting in warm items and not pre cooling the fridge before use makes their job harder, few tips. Will update after I use it on a trip.
Adventure Kings 15l centre console fridge freezer – This unit is very nicely made and doesn't look or feel cheap. It is very easy to set up and use. Adjusting the temperature setting is very easy. Does it keep stuff cold or frozen, yes BUT, a big problem is the amount of time that the compressor runs for. We have used it now for 2 weeks in our motorhome. We put already frozen food into it and set… Read more
the temp at -10 degrees. We very rarely open the lid, but without going into test details, the compressor constantly runs for just over 4 minutes, and then turns off for only 3 minutes. It then repeats this cycle. We tried setting it to different temperatures with no improvement. What this means, is that for every hour of use, the compressor runs for 35 minutes - not good. ( these figures are rounded off for simplicity). The ambient temperature at the time that I did these time measurements was only about 18 degrees. You need a good battery set-up to use it. It would be OK for a single day use, but NOT for extended times. Do I regret buying it, YES.

18 month review 15L Kings Fridge / Freezer – . UPDATE 4th October 2025, are you kidding me, my 15L fridge is still running (5 years on) noisy as but holds temp and power consumption still the same, it has been everywhere and used on a regular basis, 5 years and still running is just mind blowing, I thought it would be a 1 to 2 year runner "Max". Would I buy another "Hell No" this one is… Read more
still kicking and aside from being noisy, scratched, dirty and dusty I know my beers will be cold.
UPDATE 25th October 2023, (Purchased August 2020) another 11 months have past since last review and the same 15L is a little noisier than last post BUT it is still running and keeping temperature.
However I decided it was time to get a quieter new unit so I ordered from the 4wd Supacentre eBay store and got the new centre console fridge / freezer on special for $155.00 including postage, it arrived today and the box looked 2nd hand, so my concerns were to video the box at the Post Office, sure enough the fridge sounded like someone had dropped a wet chip in a deep fryer, this supposedly brand new fridge / freezer is louder and more concerning than my old trusty Kings 15L.
I have contacted 4wd Supacentre again through eBay messaging (what a nightmare) no response yet, I called the 4wd Supacentre 1800 number and was told they could see my order but could do nothing about it as it was bought on Ebay and had to go through eBay messaging only for a response (that in itself is a poor response).
Oh well looks like it's the old hit and miss scenario and I got the dud unit again. Will update again after they get back to me.
Below is the original review.
Look Kings gear and Customer Service is hit and miss, But happy to say my little 15L fridge freezer has been working with no problems (a bit noisy than new but no problems) for 18 months full time running mainly as a fridge @ between 2° and -1° with no effort and battery consumption is not too bad for a cheap fridge.
However my Kings 20L failed within 6 months, Customer Service was accommodating on this occasion and after a little bit of backwards and forwards dialogue a replacement was sent out in a reasonable time, lost a bit of tucker as it was being used as a freezer but I suppose (sh#t) happens, anyways the replacement has been running 24/7 for the last 6 months as a freezer and still performs well and still as quiet as day 1.
I haven't always had good dealings with 4wd supacentre but they seem to be improving somewhat "UNLESS" you buy through their eBay store, then what a headache that can be.
Finally, room for improvement needed on the eBay purchased goods Customer Service Department's process.

Think i have a dud – Bought this fridge to use as a separate freezer as advertised but the minute i got it, could tell something was not quite right. Is nowhere near as good as my other 2 kings fridges in the car. Will not even go to 0 and does not cycle will just flattern the battery. Trying took it back to the store only to be told 3 days later that it works fine if… Read more
you had it pluuged into a 240 volt plug and ran it for 2 days in a cool place, sure it will eventually go down in temp but thats not the intended use for this were it is supposed to be used. Its useless bit disappointing really considering all the money i have spent in the store.

Won’t get cold – Was working fine. This week it started cutting out. No error code but display would flicker to 3 horizontal bars. I’ve plugged it into another 12v socket. It no longer cuts out but temp sitting about 15 degrees. I have it set to minus 18. I’ve unplugged it from the fridge end and let it sit for a couple of hours. It started at 25 degrees and took about 12 hours to get to 15. Power supply tests at 12.8v with multi meter. No error codes Show details
