Best Portable Fridges / Freezers

Great fridge, easy to use, great on power usage we connected to battery pack

Purchased this fridge for my husband , he uses it every day during the work . Best product ever , would highly recommend

Been using this on a few camping trips and it’s a bloody trooper. Keeps the beers cold and the snags fresh, whether you’re running it off gas, 12V,… Read more

or mains. Runs quiet as a mouse and doesn’t chew through much juice. Bit old-school, but rock solid – built tough and does the job without any fuss.

Extremely happy with our Bushman draw fridge. It keeps everything cold, and it is easy to open and close. Delivery time & customer service was fantastic Show details

underwater in two floods. Cleaned up and plugged in, away it goes. I cannot praise this fridge enough. Absolute beauty and will get another when time comes

Disappointed – After wanting an Evakool Ice box for some time, as they are supposed to be the best, and thinking I was supporting an Australian business, I bought a… Read more

60ltr infinity ice box.

Initially I wasn’t overly impressed at the thin walls and flimsy lid that actually flexes the hinges when full open under its own weight.

A test at home wasn’t any better at ice retention than my existing tropical box.

Then when looking in greater detail on the website I find they are now made in the Philippines.

Overall not as well built as expected and not made in Australia as I thought.

If companies are going to manufacture overseas, fine, but it should be made clear and there should be a drastic reduction in price to reflect this, but there isn’t it’s still a $500 esky!

Best on the market – Only downside is the size and weight but build quality is top notch and doesn’t miss a beat on 12v and 240v. Would recommend highly. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Show details

Our Waeco fridge from the caravan is now in the garbage tip at Grawin opal field after failing on our last trip. The Waeco fridge in our ute also … Read more

let us down a couple of years ago. Our waeco power supply also ended up at a dump after numerous issues. I have a Bushman fridge in the Ute now and am buying an Engel for the caravan and won’t be touching Waeco/ Dometic products again.

Unfortunately can’t give 0 stars. I brought the 30L draw fridge/freezer, have had it for a week and had it set to -10 the whole time as I planned to… Read more

use it as a freezer in the canopy. The coldest it ever got was -3, I contacted kings warranty and lodged a claim for a return & refund 7 days ago now. They sent me a return label for it which was due to be picked up 3 days ago. We are now leaving the place we have been staying on holidays to head back home and it’s still sitting here waiting to be collected. I emailed several times to ask when it was being collected but have had no response. So I called warranty and got someone who could not have cared less and told me I would just have to stay and wait for it to be collected or deliver it myself to a kings store on my travel home. Since I have already brought a replacement freezer I now have no room so will have to leave it behind for who knows what to happen to it. This is the last time I will ever purchase anything from kings. It’s cheap for a reason & their warranty is pathetic.

5 years on, one of the best camping purchases we have made. Still has a year of warranty! We have used this in 7 straight days over 44 degree at… Read more

times. Along with our Oz tent, our best buy. Fantastic Aussie product. Heaps of use, bounced around thousands of km’s of corrugation, never misses a beat. Well done!

I don't often write reviews unless a product or service is exceptionally good or bad. I bought this fridge to replace a 50 litre Waeco that had done… Read more

15 years faithful service. I was a little apprehensive, as some Kings products get mixed reviews but the 5 year warranty clinched the deal. Some people seem to make a sport of knockiing Kings products. I collected the fridge from the Dandenong warehouse to save the $40 delivery fee. Service was very professional and they even carried the fridge out to my car. I have now had the Kings fridge over 12 months, including 1000s of Kms on corrugated roads and the Kings fridge has never missed a beat. The build quality is reasonable. It has some nice features like the 12v input on both sides and the lid opening from both sides. The compressor is very quiet and seems to be quite efficient. Some reviewers have claimed that it is heavy on power so I decided to put it to the test. I connected the fridge to a cig socket on my camper and ran it for 24 hours on the Eco setting. The camper has a 100Ah VoltX LiFePo4 battery fitted with a Victron battery monitor. The fridge temperature control was set on 2°C. The fridge internal temperature was measured using an Inkbird fridge wireless thermometer placed in the centre of the fridge. The fridge was loaded with 24 x 375ml cans to simulate real life and to provide a critical mass. During the experiment the ambient temperature was 21°C overnight and it reached 32°C during the day. Again, similar to real life when touring Australia in Summer. Here are the results: Over 24 hours the fridge consumed 29Ah of power, equivalent to 1.2Ah per hour. This means that it would run comfortably for over 3 days and nights on a 100Ah lithium battery. Add a solar panel and it would probably run indefinitely. During the 24 hour test the internal temp ranged from 1.1°C to 2.8°C with an average of 1.9°C. This indicates that the fridge is well insulated and the temperature control is extremely accurate. Am I happy with the fridge? Yes! Would I buy one again? Yes? Do I have any connection with Kings? No!

Seems to be a good fridge when working ? after my last review when it stopped working , now the 240 conversion board has failed , so my local repair… Read more

agent sold me a plug in 12 volt converter unit to run on 12 volt only , rather than spend another $ 400.00 for repair , $150.00 later , back in action

fridge. I just picked up a 75l brassmonkey fridge and out of the box the compressor was so loud it was like a car had pulled dup next to my camper. It was powering on every 5 minutes and the inside compartments were always out of wack- like -2 +6 or -4 +3 etc. Returned it. Second unit with the internal battery upgrade sounded just as bad so I guess that's the way they sound. It also sounded like it was chilling the fridge constantly again. Power draw was unto 80 w too- so huge.

Solution was to turn off at night and cover with a sleeping bag. Not ideal at all. Anyway the second unit with battery drew a constant 20 w and never got past 60% charge. And it also failed today refusing to run my external power only the internal battery. Bluetooth failed. App refused to connect. Taking the battery out fixed issues temporarily. Returned it and picked up another 57l (Waeco) dometic fridge and the second it fired up the quiet hum returned and it kept its temperature well and coming on to chill maybe every 30 mins vs 5 of the brassmonkey. The power draw was back to 40w too.

As a full-time vanlife they just cannot be trusted. Noisy, near zero insulation and electronics fail. I cannot recommend brassmonkey fridges at all.

I gave the brassmonkey a good go but honestly spend a few more bucks and save yourself a real headache. They are awful.

So far so good. Works the way I want it to. I'm not sure if I use my email receipt as a proof of purchase for the warranty but other than that it's good.

I have 2 of these ARB 35l fridge freezers. They have been excellent. Both used in trucks or a camper van as a freezer and working hard over rough… Read more

roads. They are very quite with no vibration at night while sleeping. They will not work using the cigarette lighter plug. It will work while driving and the voltage is higher but once stopped and the battery voltage drops to 12.5v the voltage at the fridge is down to 11,5 and it shuts off to protect the compressor. I have them hard wired with 6mm wire and anderson plugs straight to battery and they work great. I am mainly writing this review because of all the bad reviews from people saying there fridge turns off after an hour. I had a Engel 29lt fridge for 24 years before these 2. It worked great but the noise and vibration from the swing compressor was very annoying. Also you cant sit on the lid whereas you can with a ARB

Purchased in Jan 2016 for $900.

with 240v as on 12v has a massive current draw, something around 10 amps just to keep it running. It would freezes up all the time and now wont cool down at all. Set on -12 but wont come down past +9. No warranty being a 2 year warranty, but was only used for approx 3 months. I'd like to say it will be good enough for the odd weekend away and will cool your drinks efficiently but that's not the case. Would have been cheaper to buy an esky and ice.

Hasn’t missed a beat – We used it for 1 month in Tasmania with a mix of 240V and 12v power. Worked like a charm, didn’t drain much from my little 44ah battery or 200w… Read more

solar blanket. Kept food frozen when closed up for overnight ferry due to its good insulation. Have just been using it for the last two months as a spare freezer at home during isolation and it’s been fine.

When I travel to go camping, I cover the cooler in an old doona I purchased in an opshop, for added insulation, and when I have set up camp, again… Read more

cover with a doona. I make a point to open it a minimum number of times. As the ice melts, make sure nothing is getting drenched, and keep the chilly water for as long as possible. If you drain the cold water, there is more space than needs to be cooled by the remaining ice. With a little knowledge about the way a esky/chilly bin, cooler works, can have a wonderful camping experience. This is an excellent product. Hygienic and easy to clean. Has a handy drain.

Long story short doesn't compete against Engel fridges we thought we would give kickass a go with there product the silicone has come away inside the… Read more

larger side of the fridge which has left a gap now for stuff so go in. We have had this fridge for longer then the warranty period but only been used around 5 times there feedback was just silicone it back up yes may be out of warranty but I think it a fault with the fridge but hey you get what you pay for I guess but was not cheap either lol

small side supposedly in negative temps the whole time, however the ice cream became completely liquid and water bottle not even a little bit frozen. It's also quite poor at maintaining temperature with wild variation around what you set, not even using eco mode or anything.

from the motorhome in the night and had no problems at all,I now use it as a spare fridge at home and it's still going strong

Fits my the slider in my truck perfectly! Easy to set the temperature and has all the plug in power options. Show details

Unreal little fridge – After buying a dometic cf11 and it subsequently failing after 6months I managed to get a hold of one of these MD14F fridges. It’s set to -11c and for… Read more

24/7 that’s all it’s does. Just works. At 41c ambient it sits in -10.3c. I don’t have to worry about it. It just works. Can’t beat an Engel. Perfect size for a freezer or small fridge. Only thing I don’t like is you have to have a thermometer inside to adjust the temp to where you want it and after getting it right it’s good to go.

When people install a fridge themselves without basic knowledge or understanding that ventilation and air flow is vital. I have had to constantly… Read more

educate people on installing requirements. With the brass monkey if you do build inside a enclosure you need to install a 12v ventilation fan or make sure there's adequate air flow. The power draw is only 8amps. And the reason why a fan was never fitted was to reduce power consumption. And most rv don't have a lot of powere. This is the most economical fridge for its size and very reliable if fitted by someone knowledgeable.

Works great low power use once cold Would recommend.5yr warranty can't go wrong Show details

overpriced POS, it leaked out all of its gas. I have a Waeco that I bought in 2002 second hand and it is still working fine. DO NOT BUY NATIONAL LUNA...

Love it! Fits 30 375ml cans perfectly. Would honestly recommend this product to all who are looking to have a weekend away!

Fantastic ! and I can use it at home as a bar fridge or bar freezer. I now just have to purchase a 240v plugin and I’ll be set. Show details

The fridge works well except when I opened the box there was no mounting screws Show details

I purchased a 45 litre 4 years ago apart from the plastic latches breaking which I replaced with elastic toneu straps,which is much better,I’ve had no issue,still runs just fine,holds temperature,freezes if I want or cools my beers nicely Show details
