What a Game Changer for Us.
No more buying ice each day at the campground store at a cost of $8.49 for two 5-pound bags that will last 1 day. It is really hard to keep your food from becoming soggy with a cooler filled with ice
Well, that ends with the purchase of the JP50 Pro.
Fits perfectly in the back of our extended cab truck right behind the driver's seat and it is super silent when the compressor kicks on. From the passenger seat, my wife can excess whatever is needed while I'm driving on the road.
I really like the wheels; we unplug the unit and wheel it to a rest stops picnic table for an hour, eat our meal and plug it back in to our trucks 12vt with very little temperature loss, so the insulation is really good. Love that it is AC powered so I can prechill at home before heading out. Our experience has been 35 minutes to run the temperature down to 35 degrees when hooked to AC power inside my home in my non airconditioned 85-degree garage.
Love the insulated bag. It does help in keeping the temp. stable inside the IceCo. Love how it protects your investment from dings, and it looks great too. It has 2 pockets for your cords, and I also keep the owner's manual in there, not that have read it extensively because the online reviews (YouTube) of this frig by some hardcore overlanders have been fantastic. Go online and do the research like I did and see for yourself why these hardcore overlanders pick IceCo before you pull the trigger. BTW I use an Ecoflow River Pro2 750-watt power station to run this thing off gride for around 2 days without a recharge. When hooked up to my 200watt solar panel to recharge the Ecoflow, I can run the IceCo JP50 and other smaller things indefinitely. The 50quart capacity is great for 2 people (we like to eat well in camp and like to carry a variety of meats, milk, veggies, fruits, coffee creamer ext. Tip: the deep container of this frig, is used for our food with 2 drinks only to keep super cold. The second shallower compartment is for drinks only. We carry plenty of water and sodas in their containers separately and just keep replacing them in the IceCo when needed. That way we keep more variety of food, then drinks. Since this frig/freezer is not dual zoned. I want to experiment one day with 2 ice bricks, one on the bottom of a small ice-cream container and the other ice brick on the top to see if a can keep the Ice Cream from melting for a couple of days as a treat for us at camp. Well, that's it, this JP50 Pro was a great investment. Do your research and see what size and style is right for you but definitely buy the brand IceCo. for its efficiency and build quality. Hope this helps you out...
