I bought this fridge in 2022 and used it in a Transit campervan I built with an Ecoflow Delta Pro power system. The fridge worked flawlessly for this whole time, but at the end of the last trip I made last summer, it started showing E1 errors and then E3 an E5.
It had done this occasionally when i would first plug it in for a new trip, but it usually resolved itself after a restart. So I did not worry too much about it.
When I drove to Florida for a 10 days vacation this winter, I expected the fridge to work as it always did. Well, it did not really work out that way. I contacted ICECO Customer Support, and after a couple of rounds of back and forth, they agreed to replace the fridge. There were another few communications so we all understood exactly what fridge I would get and so on, but once we agreed, it took only a few days to get the replacement in hand and for me to return mine.
I think that my fridge was probably fine all along, and that most of the issues that those types of fridge run into can be traced back to the input power. My electric system was plenty big for feeding the fridge. But to make sure the voltage would not drop too low, I had added a boost converter inline, just before the fridge. That guaranteed the fridge would see 12.6 volts. However, I think the converter may not have supplied enough amps.
ICECO has a step up converter that outputs 13.8 volts and can deliver 110 watts for $39. I think that this should almost always be included with the fridge. Just throw it in and add $30 to the price of the fridge. I think that would save ICECO and its customers a lot of grief.
All in all, I am still very happy with my fridge. I have run the replacement for the last week non-stop and it is performing flawlessly.
If a good friend asked me if I would recommend an ICECO fridge, I would say absolutely. I am very glad that is the brand I tried out first and it is the brand I will stay with.
Received this after searching for a replacement freezer for my boat. After testing it immediately, it performed flawlessly out of the box. Now i need to test it in real world conditions where it gets warmer than normal when the AC isn't on. Wondering how much temperature fluctuation will occur.
APL 55 Dual Zone came well packaged and all the parts plus extra spares in good condition. This fridge / freezer was purchased to ride in the rear seat of the crew cab pick up truck for extended periods. I have tested the fridge and freezer by running off the trucks inverter 110AC which will supply up to 400 watts no issue. I tested the 12v DC plug in and this worked well. I also made a third test running the 12v DC side from a 100ah lithium battery. From ambient temp about 60 degrees on both 110V AC and 12v DC settings with the freezer set to 0 and fridge set to 33 it cooled down to temp in less 30 mins empty, and I verified the temp with an inside refrigerator thermometer. I also order the insulated cover, it fits great, and has extra pockets for cords and inside divider. When running it was whisper quiet in the cab of the truck. Impressed so far will see how it holds up.
Loving it, keeps everything cold and pulls low watts, very helpful for being on the road! The battery charges fast.
I got to use my ICECO APL35 fridge/freezer for the first time at Jeep Beach last week. It performed beautifully. I set the larger compartment to 37 degrees for my fridge and the smaller compartment to 0 degrees for my freezer. Paired with my 1000 amp hour battery, the combo worked great.
My only nitpick is that the cans put little indentations on the bottom of the fridge compartment. In the future, I'll put a small hand towel on the bottom to cushion it a bit. I just wasn't thinking about it being all aluminum. And I didn't have the fridge in my Jeep when I was doing the obstacle course. It was just from normal driving around.

No complaints so far.
I took my JP 40 pro D out for a weekend trip. It kept all my food cold at 35° and all my ice cream at the perfect frozen temperature.

I turned it on and was pleased with how quiet it was and how fast it cooled down!
Very happy with this product, not one issue with it since I bought it.
My two Iceco GO20's live in both my sailboat and campervan (one per). I have solar charging on both, with "house" storage batteries.
There are times, days, when solar just isn't as effective, and my house battery resting voltage is decreased to something below a nominal 12.5 VDC.
The GO20 app has the option to program the safe low voltage level, but this optional "step-up" transformer let's me add a layer of voltage "help" if my VDC falls too low.
Under load, the GO20 can reduce the VDC line to a level lower than it wants at the "safe" minimal level, it would then shut down.
I can control this with the step-up transformer.
I've gone 2 - 3 days of minimal solar charging before my battery levels become concerning, this transformer, for me, is a back-up piece of equipment that makes sense to have onboard.
I might not need it, but I'd rather have it in case.
This is a great chair, it would be nice if it had some sort of mesh for some wind to breeze through also getting use to the adjustment leveling can be tricky..
The ICECO VL35ProS has been a total game-changer for my camping and overlanding trips. It cools quickly, holds temperature perfectly, and is super solid and durable. Runs efficiently on both my vehicle and portable power station. Easy to move, well-built, and looks great too. Highly recommend if you want a reliable fridge for your adventures!
