ICECO 63.4QT VL60 Dual 12V Portable Refrigerator

Came nicely packaged with no issues at all. I would say those complaining about about dents and dings should review the shipper. It is packaged quite well but this thing weights 60 pounds so most shippers will have issues. As far as the product goes, mine has been rock solid. I have used it for over a year with no issues. I set mine at 34American for the fridge and 2American for the freezer. Keeps my steaks frozen and the beer frosty cold. I only run it on DC but honestly I have never measured the current draw and never had an issue. I have 2 100W solar panels feeding 2 50amp gels. I have read a lot of reviews that I would consider nitpicking, considering the quality and craftsmanship of this unit. The gurgling complaint? Heard it, no big deal. Its a compressor folks! The temps fluctuating? It was my battery voltage! It's not a Yeti so when you loose power the temp will rise. Come on folks, these kind of things are no brainers. This is the best portable fridge/freezer combo I have used. This is not a paid advertisement, I paid 789 hard earned dollars for this pup, and I mean hard earned, but I would put that in line with other things of quality I have scrimped and saved for. I could get a Craftsman wrench and I own several, but when I wanted a really good one, I bought a SnapOn. I could have gotten a good ol Skil when I needed a drill, but I wanted a better one so I bought a Milwaukee. I was in need of a good scope and the Leupold is nice, but the Schmidt and Bender has superior quality. Are you catching my drift yet? The old adage is true. If you buy something of quality and take care of it, it will last you a lifetime. The other old adage is also true. You get what you pay for. I wanted a well designed, well made, quality fridge/freezer combo, so I bought the Iceco VL60. No regrets. Nuff said.

Got it just in time to go on a week trip overlanding in Colorado Mountains works great kept everything cold and worked great with my solar generator

Admittedly, I have not used this fridge nearly as much as I thought I would. As far as I can tell, it works just fine, though.

One area of improvement would be the 12-volt plug. It's cheaply made and came apart when I removed it from the 12-volt power socket in my car. I put it back together easily and quickly but who's to say it won't come apart again?

My biggest issue is that it arrived in a box that was falling apart, corners tearing, a puncture in one end, and all of it was held together with shrink wrap. When I opened the box, I was surprised to see the fridge in one piece UNTIL I noticed the vent panel on the end was dented. Considering the condition of the box, I have to wonder if this is actually B-stock sold as new. It doesn't affect the functionality and I might be able to bend the panel back into shape but I'm still displeased that I paid for something that arrived damaged. Is this what happens when you use a promo code?

To be fair, I have not had time to contact ICECO about the damage but I will do that now. In the meantime, I give 5 stars for overall functionality but deduct 1 star for the cheap plug and 1 more star for the damage.

I would submit photos with this review but I do not see the option.
