APL20 12 Volt Refrigerator, 21QT Aluminum Portable Fridge Freezer

Love this fridge. It's compact, quiet, and does a great job keeping food cool. I couldn't find a fridge compact enough to fit into the well of my van and serve as a mini-fridge in my office. And in addition it looks great.

The ICECO APL20 Portable Refrigerator (21 Qts, 12V) is absolutely the best! It’s extremely efficient, keeps everything perfectly cold, and runs so quietly. I’ve used other portable fridges before, but this one stands out for its solid build and reliable performance. I also highly recommend getting the custom ICECO bag that goes with it — it makes a huge difference in keeping everything cold and fits like a glove. I’m a quilter, so I know quality stitching and materials when I see them, and even though I could make a cover myself, I wouldn’t bother — this bag is that well-designed. Perfect combo for road trips, camping, or RV travel!

This little fridge/freezer is amazing! I originally purchased the ICECO APL 20 for car camping in August 2024. Then Hurricane Helene hit and destroyed my car, my house, nearly everything. I have been living in shelters & hotels since. (Picture is of my hotel ‘kitchen’ set up at the hotel I’m currently at.) The night of the Hurricane, I put as many valuable items as I could on higher ground. Never expecting the waters to reach upward of 5’, I thought the tops of my dressers would suffice for most of my belongings. Out of room, I placed my ICECO APL 20 on top of my bed in hopes it wouldn’t fall off into the water. When I returned to my house the next day, EVERYTHING on top of my dressers were destroyed as the flood waters tipped them all over. My mattress floated & my ICECO APL 20 was saved though!!! Being displaced awaiting on FEMA assistance, I’ve had to move around to several shelters and hotels. I’ve brought my ICECO APL 20 with me and it’s been a lifesaver as far as its versatility; when at a shelter, I’ve been able to store food & not be reliant upon inconsistent food delivery service. And when at hotels, I’ve utilized it as a freezer to store meats, pizza, breakfast bar items & donated foods for the days when food delivery service does not show. Soon I’ll be traveling with my ICECO APL 20 & realized I lost the vehicle charging cable in the flood so I called ICECO Customer Service. I only called customer service to make sure I didn’t order the wrong cable. I never imagined what happened next. Val & Mark with ICECO Customer Service, handled my concerns with compassion & enthusiasm in helping resolve my issue of needing a vehicle charging cable and asked me to give them a day to ask their managers if they could help me out with a warranty claim on the missing cable. They promptly y emailed me & then followed up with a telephone call and with management approval, they’re honoring a warranty claim due to the cable being destroyed - without my having to send them the damaged cable in because of the extraordinary circumstances. I was already impressed with ICECO’s products so It’s comforting to know that the company as a whole matches their quality products with excellent customer service and support. Fantastic overall experience. I cannot wait to be able to afford the ICECO APL 35 for car camping with my new car and continue using the APL 20 as a mini-freezer. Thank you Val and Mark for putting a smile on my face and being so kind! 😊

I use this thing a lot for work and family outings. I absolutely love it. At first I didn’t understand the two compartments and thought it was duel zone. I use the upper compartment for fruits or things I don’t want crushed and I love it. The only thing I don’t like is the older iceco wires don’t fit completely flush in the socket, the aluminum will blind you when sunlight hits it, and it scratches easy. I do like that it reaches temperature very fast, the app is useful to make sure it’s still running in the back of my truck, and it’s really light. It holds more than enough for a family of four to a day at the pool or park.

This refrigerator is perfect. It's exactly as described on Amazon, as well as on the seller's website. It is the right size for the intended use and it looks exactly as pictured on the website. The compartments therein are just as described. The refrigerator is small and was well packaged and within a much larger box. We are very pleased with this purchase. Note: Delivery was 'supposedly' attempted by USPS; however, they failed to bring the large box to the door. They instead left a note saying the mailbox was full. It would have been impossible to even attempt to place the box in the larger mailbox (intended for small packages), given the size of the outer box. Perhaps our USPS mail person was new to the job, but their failure to bring the box to the door was not the right move. We attempted re-delivery per the notice they left, but our attempt to do so was met with "re-delivery already requested" (not by us). We called the post office and were able to pick it up there. We'd have been much happier if delivery had been made by Amazon.

It’s pretty hard to find a cooler that is made of all metal and is as rugged as this one . It’s super quiet and it keeps my food and drinks perfectly chilled or frozen . It fits perfectly in my semi under the bed .

I was tired of having warm drinks after the ice in my cooler was gone. I started searching for a portable refrigerator. I found this APL20 aluminum refrigerator and had to purchase it. On sale at $399, it’s a steep price. I think it’s a little expensive but does a great job. This unit produces a lot of condensation on the inside walls causing water drops to run down and collect in the base of the unit. I have to use a towel on the bottom to collect the excess so I don’t have too much build up. Im not sure if this means theres a seal breach, or if it’s a normal occurrence. I keep it running 24-7 in my work truck and have it connected to a Ecoflow River unit that charges via solar or 12V when the vehicle is running. This unit will run on the ecoflow river 2 (256wh) in the max position overnight with plenty of power left over to have it recharge during the day with solar. So far I’ve owned it since 5/30/24 and it has not shut off once and has kept anything I placed in it cold. Time will tell if it keeps up with the heat of storing in a vehicle in the off position in Florida where the interiors can reach 120-130 degrees or more. So far so good. Currently I would repurchase this device. However, if something changes in the future I will update this review. I anticipate and expect a long service life for this unit.

What even keep ice cream cold

Very accommodating size for smaller RV, boat or car. Can be carried full with produce etc., handles are great and comfortable. Low enough that it can fit under bench seating. Probably fit in a rear footwell easily.

I purchased the cooler in July 2025 and used it for the summer. (It was great it sips power and works seamlessly with the app) When I went to use it in May it didn't cool. I contacted the company and after some troubleshooting steps it was determined that it had lost it's coolant. They arranged a replacement unit and shipped it with no charge to me. The service was prompt and courteous. I am impressed with this company

I can even stay out of town every time no worries about my food to damage premium product I love the way it freezes my ice cream.

We've been using it for several months on occasional basis when we need to have longer drive for groceries. At first it looks small but it can pack more items than expected. Very pretty and well made too. I like the lid can stay open. We eventaully bought a portable Anker C300 power station for it. And it runs quite efficiently and get cool very fast. I hope it will last for a long time as it's still quite expensive with a discount (that's why I gave 4 stars instead of 5 due to the price tag)
