47.6QT VL45 Single Zone Portable Fridge Freezer| ICECO

Shipped quickly, and worked on both 12v and house power. Haven’t taken it camping yet, but I’m sure I’ll love it. Thanks.

After researching various fridge- freezer’s and review’s I decided on a Iceco VL 45, upon receiving it I noticed the lid was not properly sealed,contacted customer service and received a response within 24 hrs and a explanation of how to adjust the lid by loosing the bolts on the hinges however there were two bolts that were striped, I couldn’t remove or tighten the bolts, contacted customer service received a response within 24 hrs to forward them a video of the issue, no problem. Several days later customer service responded that they would ship a replacement. New hinges came in the mail. I contacted customer service and explained that the replacement hinges wouldn’t work because I can’t remove the bolts in the original hinges. 48 hrs later customer service responded, a new unit was being shipped and a return label issued for the original unit.
I was aware thru reviews that there could be an issue with the hinges however Iceco’s product lines and components along with great customer service reviews sold me.
I can now attest to Iceco’s product and customer service as fantastic, I’ve been around for 72 years and this day and age you don’t expect this level of treatment from most retailers.
Great job Iceco and especially the individual’s I dealt with in customer service!
Sincerely;
Mike.

So I’ve owned my vl45 for about two years now and taken it out on multiple trips with my whole family. It has had all the room that my wife needs for our trips (longest has been a five day trip).

The unit showed up as expected and now real issues. There was one of the screws on one latch that just needed to be screwed in a little. IMHO something like that should never pass QC but it wasn’t a fatal flaw.

The one reason why I would not give this a five star review is because of the temperature sensor. While the display says one temp the thermometer (to be clear I’ve run three individuals inside) I placed inside is quite a bit off. Seems like this should be something that Iceco should work to address with how many people seem to have this issue and maybe some of them actually need the temp to get real low or more accurate. We only ever need it to be used as a fridge so I am able to get it within range and just use it with its flaw. I have never tried to contact customer so I cannot speak to how good or bad a job they do.

With that said the big plus that I have seen in videos and verified myself is the power usage. For how large this unit is it is one of the best on energy consumption. She just sips the power.

For my family it has been one of the better purchases we have made to make our camping trips nicer. I hope this will help in others making a determination if this unit is right for them and also to have some reasonable expectations on what they may receive.

VERY WELL BUILT. This unit is perfect for my family. I am VERY happy with this and all my accessories!

Haven’t been on a trip yet but used it at home to test the settings. On A/C it gets to 36° within an hour. Operated for a couple of days and noticed temps will fluctuate up and down a couple of degrees depending on the time of the day. Morning checks will show it around 29 but recovers in a few hours to set temp as the day warms up. Might go a couple of degrees up as the day warms but for not long enough to create a food safety issue.
