Dometic CFX Portable Electric Cooler and Freezer, Powered by AC/DC or Solar

I previously owned a CFX3 model which died after about a year of use. Despite that, I decided to give Dometic another chance and purchased the new CFX5 25Q — unfortunately, it arrived completely dead on arrival (DOA). Spending nearly $1,000 on a portable fridge (twice) and having one fail in a year and another not even turn on out of the box clearly points to serious issues with quality control and reliability. I can now say with confidence: this is not a good product, and I can no longer recommend the brand. Very disappointed.

Lid doesn’t latch to close. Even when I press down on it, it won’t latch. What good is the extra insulation if the lid doesn’t close?

I purchased this Dometic car refrigerator for road trips, hoping its premium reputation would deliver top performance in my car’s rough environment. The build quality is impressive—sturdy, well-made, and feels like it’ll last years. It’s also surprisingly lightweight for its size, making it easy to move in and out of my vehicle. Another plus is how quiet it runs; I could barely hear it, which is great for overnight camping. Unfortunately, the negatives were a letdown for such an expensive fridge. The Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connection was unreliable, often dropping when I tried to monitor it via the app. Worse, the temperature varied significantly—up to 10°F between the top ledge and the bottom. To keep everything at a safe 40°F, I had to set the fridge to 33°F, which seems off for a unit praised for its insulation. It also took forever to stabilize, sometimes 12+ hours, which was frustrating when I needed consistent cooling fast. For the high price tag, I expected better performance from a brand like Dometic. It’s a solid build, but the temperature issues and spotty connectivity make it hard to recommend unless you’re okay with these flaws.

1 ster omdat 0 niet gaat. Het artikel (Dometic CFX5 25, 25 liter elektrische compressiekoelbox) werkte niet bij levering. Ik had voor alle zekerheid een dag gewacht om zeker te zijn dat de koelvloeistof voldoende tijd had gehad om stabiel te staan, maar het ding deed het gewoon niet; niet op netstroom en niet via de sigarettenaansteker in de auto. Bovendien merkte ik dat de sluiting van het deksel niet correct was: de voorziene "klik" bij het sluiten was er niet en je kon het deksel gewoon terug optillen. Ik heb het ding gewoon terug gestuurd en ben op zoek gegaan naar een ander merk, zonder een vervanging te overwegen. Als je als fabrikant 749 euro vraagt voor een artikel, dan verwacht de klant dat het artikel perfect is. Dat houdt in dat er minstens een kwaliteitscontrole gebeurt voor de verzending, want anders minacht je volgens mij de klant. Voor mij heeft dit merk dus definitief afgedaan.

Très bon produit, silencieux, il fait du froid rapidement et consomme très peu d’énergie

Ottimo prodotto Ne abbiamo già un altro è conosciamo bene il marchio dometic Abbiamo preso in 25lt per una questione di portabilità Motore a compressore molto più silenzioso del modello precedente Per i consumi autonomia a 12v ancora da testare Appena arrivato l'abbiamo subito acceso con la 220v è messo all'interno del frigo 2bottiglie a temperatura ambiente Impostato il frigorifero a -22° solo per far un veloce test è dopo circa 30 minuti era già a -14° è circa dopo un oretta è mezza le bottiglie iniziavano a ghiacciare le abbiamo tolte è lasciato andare il frigorifero per vedere se realmente arrivava a -22° c'è arrivato! Per adesso siamo soddisfatti Un po' meno della spedizione da parte di un corriere esterno ad Amazon

Die Kompressor Kühlbox ist etwas teuer aber sie ist es wert. Sehr gute Verarbeitung schnelle Kühlung sehr wertig anzusehen, mit der App über Bluetooth gut zu steuern. Würde diese Kühlbox immer wieder kaufen

Excelente , esta marca nunca falla
