BODEGACOOLER 12 Volt Refrigerator, 83L RV Refrigerator APP Control, RV Fridge and Freezer, Travel Compressor Cooler with Lock, (-4℉-46℉) Car Fridge for Truck, RV, Camping, Boat -12/24V DC, Black

In 2017 I bought a Ford cargo van to convert into a camper. I spent nine months doing the conversion and produced a very satisfying except for one thing. The refrigerator I installed although still going strong turned out to be too small for satisfaction. It is an Engel almost the identical volume capacity as this Bodega. As most DIY camper builders do I installed a cabinet that uses the rear half of the door space that opens up when the slider is all the way open. I used the cabinet as a place to store a propane tank, a water reservoir, and some tools. A mishap that occurred using a propane bottle inside the van to boil water brought it home to me dramatically that carrying propane inside the van was not a safe thing to do. I immediately decided from now on no more gas bottles or tanks inside the van and now have trailer hitch mounted carrier that I use. The next decision was to scrap carrying a space consuming water reservoir in the cabinet so I could free up space to install this Bodega refrigerator. We've just returned from a three week road trip tour of Utah and I cannot say enough good things about how much better this bodega is than our other fridge. The freezer freezes, the space inside is more useable because it doesn't have angled walls like the Engel, it is quieter, it has an insulated door to the freezer and more room, it has instrumentation to display what the temperature is and enables you to set the temperatures precisely. I don't believe there is any other brand of refrigerator for a van that competes with it when you take the price into consideration.

I have been very impressed with the quality of this marine refrigerator because the fit and the finishes are perfect. The most useful feature that makes this product a cut above the competition is that the freezer section is completely separate and isolated which permits cooling to -8 degrees Farenheit. On a basis of warranty comparison, Bodega's warranty is one (1) year versus most other marine refrigerator manufacturers warranty's being a maximum of two (2) years with the exception of Indel Webasto being three (3) years. The only issue that I encountered was the manufacturers recommendation to self drill the existing holes to allow for fastening to a cabinet. Due to a manufacturing defect when the manufacturer left the refrigerator interior lighting wiring directly behind a self drill hole, the lighting is no longer functional. Due to this defect, I reduced the score to four stars.

it stopped cooling at 6 months. everything running but not cooling, defrosted and still 78 degrees while ruing. trying to work on solution but with Bodega with the 1 year warranty, but not having luck as of yet.they are using AI generated emails for product support so asking questions that are already answered. They finally said will send a new control panel that I am to install myself, which will be sent in 6 weeks. I have repeatedly stated I am not a technician and would like a full refund. I guess I need to do a consumer report to resolve the issue. Call center will not trouble shoot, only through email.

The media could not be loaded. It chills FAST!Spacious:Both the refrigerator & freezer have decent amounts of space.I was able to fit the following inside:2 x gallons of milk - lying flat, 5 x 16 oz bottles of soda in the door after removing one if the shelves several items and 4 bags of cheese in the drawer, a pack of hotdogs, hot dog buns, & a 10 pack box of small popsicles.The freezer door flips open nicely and if you do it right, snaps closed real nicely as well. If you get clumsy like I can be, you'll knock it off a bunch 🤣 then I figured out the purpose of the round cover in the center of the freezer lid is the sweet spot! If you use just 1 finger and push down on that spot, it will close correctly every time.Cons? There really aren't any obvious cons to this as long as you know what you're getting. The fridge is not portable or able to just pop into a garage and plug in. It is meant for an rv or boat with shore power hook ups. I actually did not catch on to that until it arrived, but that's no problem since its going in a mobile camper trailer and will be direct wired in place. I did want to make sure it worked before wiring it in to place and taking a family trip for a few weeks and depending on it, so I used an electrical converter to connect the wires and ran it in our sunroom for a few days. Its Awesome! The fridge and freezer cooled down fast! Adjustments to the programming temps are easy to make and the family and I are all very happy with this new addition to our summer adventures.

This is a great fridge. It gets super cold and it was easy to install and hookup. Absolutely the best choice for my needs.

It keeps food very cold even when opened and closed often. Very satisfied. Very good product and easy to operate. This is a low energy, high quality refrigerator. It is light and easy to move around. It does not bother me. I highly recommend getting one.
