ALDI Portable Fridge / Freezer

Excellent product – Great fridge/freezer.we bought this 18 months ago, and YES it came with a very well designed insulated cover. It was packed separately in the box, so perhaps some people may have thrown it out thinking the extra cardboard was part of the packaging. We have used this at home on 240v when we had problems with the household freezer and does hold… Read more

quite a lot of food if packed properly. Maintains temps both sides as freezer. We’ve used multiple times camping on 12v auxiliary battery. maintains temperature really well. Excellent product and great value for money.

12volt issue – Hi, I have a Adventuridge fridge freezer 75 litres and my battery is 13.5 volts and gets solar power, my fridge had Error code 1 coming up. The instruction manual says Battery protection cut out, The voltage is outside the cut out settings, but my batteries are 13.5 volts I’m puzzled

Never misses a beat! – I bought this as a back-up for my Waeco that cost twice the price. IMHO it works every bit as well as the Waeco. It has been to hell and back on some of the roughest Outback tracks imaginable. I have it set on 2 degrees, which it maintains easily, even when the ambient is in the high 30's - perfect for a cold beer at the end of the day. Every… Read more

summer I use it as a back-up beer fridge and it runs solidly for 3 months on 240v on the back verandah. I'm planning to set it as a freezer on my next trip and have been testing it. I didn't expect it to get below -15 degrees but it has now settled on -18 and frozen a 10 litre container of water solid. Current draw on the freezing setting is about 5Ah until it reaches temperature, then it's about 2Ah. As mentioned in other reviews you really do need a good 100Ah battery and heavy duty cables. I believe this is identical to the Primus 40L fridge/freezer that sells for several hundred dollars more. If fact, if you download the Manual PDF it has Primus branding.

5 star fridge with the same compressor as the big guys – I have owned this fridge for 4 years and the only thing to happen is it started to blow the cigarette fuse in my Amarok, installed a new 25 amp circuit now the fridge works fine. This fridge has bounced around in the back of my 4wd on some bad outback roads, overheating in the back of my black 4wd with a black canopy while keeping our food in… Read more ·  1

great condition. Some fridges cost $1,800 this fridge cost me $440 do the math! Both fridges come with the same warranty! Owning a portable fridge and keeping it working can be tricky so here are my tips - Small car batteries like used in SUV's don't work very well as the battery is designed for fast energy output to start your car not quick fast startup of the compressor then a slow energy draw for 30 mins. - BIG BATTERY! 90 - 100 amp hour is a must, this battery will weight about 30kg so be careful when lifting. - BIG CABLE! If you are going to run the fridge at a distance from the battery you will need big thick cables otherwise the fridge will be in error mode. - Don't stand the fridge in the sun. I don't know why fridges are grey they should be made white to reflect the sun's heat like a Evercool fridge. -Freeze your food beforehand and put at the bottom of the fridge. In the morning move the food you want to cook to the grey plastic area above the compressor to defrost this may take all day or two so do it early.

There are many fridges like this and most of them use a copy of the Danfoss compressor that has been tried and tested for decades, the thing that breaks down the most is the circuit board not only on the cheap fridges but even on the $1,800 ones.

My Aldi fridge runs off two 100 amp hour batteries plus 300 watts of solar panels this is the main reason why my fridge runs so well. It's a big investment to run a portable fridge so if your a thinking I can just plug it into my car cigaret outlet that is only rated to 10 amps along with a 40 amp hour car battery think again.

This info should be on the box of all portable fridges so people are not outlying lots of money on something that may not work with their wiring capacity.

Hopes this helps... Buy cheap from a bricks and mortar retailer so if something goes wrong within the two years give it back to them and get a new one, why pay $1,800.

Great fridge, excellent price – At $549, it is no wonder that Aldi sold out of these units in less than a minute. This is an excellent fridge with plenty of storage and low power consumption. I have used this on two camping trips now, the first running on 240V and the second on 12V. On the second trip, a 105ah battery powered the fridge non-stop for 23+ hours and only dropped… Read more

to 12.4V. This was in 30° ambient daytime temperature and 11° night temperature, with frequent opening. Add a solar panel to the combo and I can see this fridge working without issue for 5+ days.

As with any fridge. it works best when filled to the brim as it is easier to keep cool contents rather than air.

The internal storage space works well but it does occupy 50% of the storage space in the rear of our 4x4. This is something to consider if you don't have roof racks or a trailer. However, once packed in the car, the Adventuridge app is a great way of checking the fridge's performance and current temperature (or just checking that the power plug hasn't been bumped out of place).

My advice, next time these come up for sale, line up early and buy one.

75lt fridge up date – I have had this fridge since 19 Sept last year and have never been turned off. So far all is good the only thing I do is armourall the lid seals to keep them soft and supple for good sealing. Just another update 11/1/25 fridge still going good been on at all time with no issues. Show details ·  1

Perfect and robust....superior insulations (needs little power) – I purchased the 75L fridge from aldi after I tested and watched my friend's unit....he used it for over a year none stop at his garage with one 100ahr agm battery and a 300w panel and it kept the fridge working with no issues...my unit was purchased in cowes Victoria (have the receit)performed the same and it is always on 24h/day in my garage… Read more

....very very happy with it..has the best insulation among all the fridges i purchased before...needs very little power to run....I am using 310w panel with 100ahr lithium and mppt charger and never an issue .......if you come across one BUY it....you will never regret...I watched few unhappy customers complain about it ...my answer is buy a good battery and not a dead second hand one and you will never have an issue with this fridge....this year the price was $599...very good value for money for such a large and good fridge....

Aldi fridge – Great fridge. I’ve had it for a year now Works as it should. Ran the freezer at -12 and the fridge at-3 with no problems while camping remote. It’s now 2025 and still going strong Show details

12.2 volts needed to run – 41ltr fridge requires 12.2 volts to run this is rubbish should run as low as 10volts stupid e1 error below 12.5 volts waste of money Show details

Worked a couple of times – Only used about 6 times before issues started, refused to cool down and showing E 3 code on both AC mains and DC battery power. No list of error codes in manual and was out of warranty because we only used it for occasional weekends away. Waste of $500 Show details

Stopped working after 2 months – I bought this fridge and even before we took it on a trip the control panel stopped working. What a waste of time.

Ready for happy hour – Purchased in April 2020. It gets to temp quickly and holds temp at 3 degrees well. The Bluetooth works every time and is effortless. I changed the plug to a meritt plug and haven’t had any disconnects since. We had a battery power loss issue once and I turned it to eco and the fridge handled it. I have it fixed with tie downs in our off-road camper and it gets bounced around with 4 wheel driving and never misses a kick. We use it all the time. Show details

Temperature setting failed – the temperature keeps going down to -10’C regardless of what I set it to. Has anyone else had this issue? If so would love to know if there’s a way to fix this. Cheers

So far so good – I bought 75 litre adventure ridge aldi fridge about a week ago and so far it's been working well. I've been using it in the cabin, full of food. but when I tried to call assistance line today I couldn't get through.. after the German woman said something they just hung up on me, three times

not happy with this fridge - – The fridge has trouble reaching cold temperature - the last Aldi sold was Venture - great fridge - I trusted Aldi this would be a great fridge but I was so wrong Show details

Issues pairing to app on phone can’t get to work – Having major issues used twice now won’t pair to mobile phone app when I delete app and reinstall won’t connect to correct model Show details

Didn't even last 9 months – While away with my family the control panel just kept displaying error 1-5. Fridge would not cool and compressor wouldn't switch on. I've been calling up for days trying to sort the warranty but its proving to be a very difficult process. Would not recommend this fridge. Show details

Great fridge – Bought this fridge 4 yrs ago , hasn’t let me down yet …. It’s been constantly running for that period of time in my camper via 12v and solar …. Performs as expected… I have Waeco and Engel as well and this Adventuridge doesn’t leave my camper … Show details

No value for $ paid – Used a few times and now freezing everything inside , temperature indicates a faulty reading disappointment with how short its life was with supposed to have good components would not recommend Show details

Can’t control temperature stays at 28 degrees but fridge freezes up – Been great up till now but connot control temperature stays at 28 degrees but fridge freezes have to turn it off for awhile or everything freezes then turn back on again Show details

Excellent quality and generous size – Perfect for camping or anywhere you need a fridge/ freezer. Very well insulated and has a great cover. Love the Bluetooth app. Works perfectly and you can choose the desired temperature on your smartphone. I would definitely recommend this product. Show details
