From the days of simple coolers to today’s advanced 12V portable fridges, keeping food fresh on outdoor adventures has become a breeze. With modern technology, portable fridges now run on just a bit of battery or solar power, staying colder far longer than those old foam coolers ever could. In our previous article, we explored the GO20, VLPRO, and VL series, showcasing their strengths and ideal use cases.
In this follow-up blog, we’ll dive into more ICECO fridge models, including the APL55, APL35 & 20, and the versatile JPPRO series. We’ll explore their ideal uses and share real-life reviews from satisfied customers who’ve put these fridges to the test in the great outdoors.
The ICECO APL55 brings style and efficiency to the world of 12V refrigerators with its 55L capacity, perfect for long time outdoor adventures and road trips. This fridge takes the unique of ICECO's designs, combining the soft-closing lid of the GO20 with app-controlled convenience, while also innovated to create a 2.4 inch strong insulation layer. With its optimized design, the APL55 excels in cooling, insulation, and overall user experience. And, opening the fridge from the short side offers a fresh, new way to access your chilled snack, making every adventure even smoother.
This fridge is great quality, works excellent, and is very simple to use. I keep mine in my truck at all times where it gets used anywhere from few hour road trips, multi day camping trips, and even grocery runs where i don't have to stress about getting my cold items home right away. I power my cooler off a 1000wh power station, and even in the hot AZ sun it will work for more days than i will ever need it too. Ive never had a single issue, and was shocked how fast it gets down to temp. You don't realize how much dealing with ice and coolers sucks until you don't have to anymore!

I conducted months of research and watched countless hours of reviews from other people. The APL55 is absolutely phenomenal. It does everything you want, it's easy to use, and is it extremely efficient. It truly sips power and it keeps a very accurate temperature. Don't waste your time on the very cheap units with zero customer support. This is the fridge you want!

There’s a lot to love about ICECO’s APL35 & APL20 all-aluminum ultralight portable refrigerator. From its retro case style design to its top-tier cooling performance, this fridge is built for the road. The all-aluminum construction makes it the lightest in the same capacity of metal fridge, while the upgraded SECOP Nano compressor delivers the same powerful cooling in a much smaller space. The separate dual-zone design offers better food organization, and the standout feature is the lid-Stay, which allows the lid to stay open at any angle—perfect for one-handed operation and avoiding hand injuries.
With sizes of 20L and 35L, this compact fridge fits seamlessly into any setup, whether you're towing a trailer or hitting the road in a semi-truck.
I drive a truck for a living and I don't have time to fool around with ice. I payed $460.00 for the APL20 which is a lot of money to sling for a refrigerator the size of an ice cooler but I would GLADLY do it again. It's worth its weight in gold to me. Its a perfect fit in the cab, I don't have to fool with any ice, it keeps my water at 37 degrees, It is a single zone and is capable of being a freezer. Controlling and monitoring the temperature with an app is simply genius. Yeah, expensive for an item such as this but I don't have buyers regret. I'm eyeballing the APL 35 now which is a dual zone. When I get a chance financially to get it, I will do so with no hesitation. I am a completely satisfied customer and I vouch for this product.

The design and build of the APL20 is far above all the others that I researched online. I bought and used it on a two-week automobile trip as a freezer at -4 F. Easy to use. Great cooling response time. Much better and much lighter than anything similar. Great instructions. So many of the competing portable freezers are just junk compared to this one.

The JPPRO series isn't just about a striking exterior design—it's also built for easy mobility with its handy wheels. What truly sets this series apart is its ultra-narrow 13.8-inch width, which takes up only a third of the width inside your vehicle trunk, leaving plenty of space for other gear. This year, ICECO has upgrade the JPPRO with options for both single-zone and flexible-dual zone. Whether you're heading out on a camping trip or need a fridge that moves with you, the JPPRO series is the perfect choice for convenient and efficient outdoor refrigeration.
Initially purchased this for camping trips, and it has worked out great. It draws down very quickly and uses very little electricity. It hold temperatures consistently, even in a hot car. What I didn’t realize is how much I’d use it for my day to day errands. Instead of planning my grocery stops as the last stop, I can go pickup milk between drop offs and keep everything cold in my car. There’s plenty of space in the 50L.

I took this ICECO JP 50 Pro wheeled freezer/ Refrigerator to Burning Man 2023 for 13 days. It was under our monkeyhut next to our kitchen set up.
The ICECO temperature stayed consistent. Food stayed frozen. Outside temperature (weather) was 103*F to 54*F. Used it in conjunction with our 1500 watt solar generator and 350 watts of solar suitcase. So glad it came with an ICECO cover. This was a great purchase. When I got home, I wiped down the playa dust with a damp cloth of vinegar and water. Looks good as new. Its ready for 2024 Burning Man.
