I was tired of having warm drinks after the ice in my cooler was gone. I started searching for a portable refrigerator. I found this APL20 aluminum refrigerator and had to purchase it. On sale at $399, it’s a steep price. I think it’s a little expensive but does a great job. This unit produces a lot of condensation on the inside walls causing water drops to run down and collect in the base of the unit. I have to use a towel on the bottom to collect the excess so I don’t have too much build up. Im not sure if this means theres a seal breach, or if it’s a normal occurrence.
I keep it running 24-7 in my work truck and have it connected to a Ecoflow River unit that charges via solar or 12V when the vehicle is running. This unit will run on the ecoflow river 2 (256wh) in the max position overnight with plenty of power left over to have it recharge during the day with solar.
So far I’ve owned it since 5/30/24 and it has not shut off once and has kept anything I placed in it cold.
Time will tell if it keeps up with the heat of storing in a vehicle in the off position in Florida where the interiors can reach 120-130 degrees or more.
So far so good. Currently I would repurchase this device. However, if something changes in the future I will update this review. I anticipate and expect a long service life for this unit.
