Companion Mammoth Flexi-Zone 72L Fridge Freezer

12V problems – I have 72l flexi zone Mammoth. Good on 240v but untrustworthy on 12v. Seems to sense not enough power/voltage. Means we book powered sites until can sort off grid capability. Any ideas?

Finally working – Had not worked on 12v properly since day one, tried on five different batteries out camping over many frustrating trips. Compressor cycling caused perceived voltage drop which triggered low battery protection, compressor then never ran. Warranty repaired multiple times with no improvement. In desperation I installed a lithium battery hoping that… Read more

higher sustained voltage over discharge would help and the fridge has been perfect over 5 day camp. Frustrating that it needed an expensive lithium battery to work, but happy that it is finally working as intended.

Nothing But Junk! – My head said buy an Engel, it's worth the extra $300 so what did I do buy this piece of junk. Because the misso wants to take every frigging condiment ever made, this is where the judgement got clouded and the pissing of good money up the wall starts. Within 3 weeks the compressor decided to detach itself from its fastenings, guess this is going… Read more

to happen when you don't use nyloc nuts and get it assembled in China. Then the screen went under warranty and now the dual zone won't work and freezes the otherwise. Only ever turned it on three times and never worked as advertised once. I went back to using an esky and ice which was more effective and eventually I bought an Engel. Eventually common sense prevails.

Waste of money – Purchased the Mammoth unit which is the alternative to the Companion unit, both are from Adventure Trading. Paid $799 discounted from $1299 for the unit in November 2019, First use in December 2019 and the display unit malfunctioned, as did the temperature controls, froze all the food and drinks in the refrigerator compartment. Screen was… Read more

replaced upon our return from holidays in January 2020, No real travel for the year, Ran it on AC in the garage every couple of month, no problems, out again in December, two days into the holiday, screen goes blank again, lose all the food in the refrigerator. Are now in the process of returning the product, and finding out that the faulty screens have been an ongoing issue with this product. Customer service outstanding, product discontinued because it is rubbish.

Can only say this is only good for being a paper weight. Doesn't get any colder than 7 degrees on AC – Does not work as described! Very Dissatisfied with the fridge/freezer!! Does not get below 7 degrees. Waste of money. DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT!! Returning for a full refund. If you want a food warmer this is the best product. Show details

Works as it should. Good value for money – Works great, the app works well with the fridge and seems to be working fine. Time will be the best judge but a 3year warranty is pretty good. The controls on the fridge itself could be a little better so thats why it gets only 4 stars. Show details

Not good – Tested the fridge set up as fridge/freezer.zone 1 was set for 2 degrees, and zone 2 was set for -19.the atmospheric temp was between 0 and 20 max and the freezer could not go below -13.the unit was on 240v power and was running all the time trying to get the freezer temp down but just could not do it.the fridge was stacked to the brim with pre… Read more

chilled/frozen foods so it also had a very good head start.i have now set the freezer to -7 and it can reach this.i would hate to try this in summer on 12v as you would need 3 batteries and 600w of solar supply to keep the thing running flat out.i have tried on 1 new 12v deep cycle 135ah agm connected with 400w of solar and even on the lowest voltage cutout it which is 10.5 i think,it drops out, despite the battery reading 12.5.so at this stage i wòuld not use it for the reason i bought it ie camping but can be used in winter at home as a fridge/freezer with a low freezer setting.for the money spent i would expect more.in this case you dont get what you pay for.
