20 best auto-refrigerators

CF-123 is the simplest auto-refrigerator of the Russian manufacturer STARWIND, it has basic functions. High-strength plastic is taken as a basis, isolation is made of environmentally friendly materials. The filler is responsible for maintaining the temperature, so the device does not need power supply. The lid has a convenient carrying handle. A strong latch prevents heat from penetrating inside. In the car, the device operates from a 12V network, quickly cooling food to -18 degrees.

The brand offers several models of thermoelectric refrigerators ranging in size from 23 to 32 liters. We chose the smallest one, it has the most reviews. Buyers tested the device on the road, it can withstand up to 12 months. The manufacturer talks about its own technical development center, which controls Chinese factories. The company gives a guarantee of 12 months, completes the devices with quality certificates.

A very inexpensive car refrigerator, during the creation of which they saved in every possible way. Cheaper you can buy only the simplest thermal bag, which will not be able to lower the temperature on its own. Golden Snail GS-9209 copes with this task without any problems - it uses a thermoelectric cooling method. Thanks to him, the heating function is also implemented here - it, too, may one day be useful. A strap is used to carry the device outside the vehicle.

Basically, this model is put in the car in order to have several cool bottles with a particular drink on hand.Reviews indicate that in this regard there are no complaints about the device. But buyers note that the volume, which according to the technical data sheet is 7.5 liters (in practice, even less), will not suit everyone. And outwardly, the auto-refrigerator does not look as impressive as more expensive competitors.

The third place in the ranking rightfully goes to the EZETIL E 16 thermoelectric auto-refrigerator, which has gained popularity and huge demand among buyers. Despite the Chinese assembly, the device does not have the disadvantages that often accompany this, such as the smell of cheap plastic or minor flaws in operation. And the manufacturers themselves are confident in the quality of their products: a two-year guarantee for the perfect functioning of the refrigerator is another proof of this. The only really significant drawback is the price - for not the largest volume of the internal chamber and frankly mediocre characteristics, a potential buyer will have to pay an amount close to 6,000 rubles.

Advantages:

• compactness, no problems when placed in the cabin of a small car;
• good quality;
• simplicity of design;

In particular, it is worth highlighting a good volume of the internal storage chamber, equal to 24 liters, with not the largest dimensions. The storage temperature of products is standard, 15-18 degrees Celsius below ambient. The auto-refrigerator is equipped with a pocket for the power cord, a reliable plastic handle, as well as a thermostat for switching between Heating and Cooling modes.

The user sets the switch to the "cold" mode, in 60 minutes the temperature inside the refrigerator drops to -21°C. The Chinese manufacturer writes about high quality, gives a year warranty. The thermoelectric device equally well cools hot foods and maintains the temperature of already cooled food.

An excellent copy for installation in a car, whatever it is, passenger or truck. Since the thermoelectric principle of temperature reduction is used here, neither vibrations nor serious tilts are terrible for the refrigerator. At the same time, the device turned out to be light and compact. But do not expect huge capacity from it - the usable volume is only 20 liters. As expected, a 12-volt power supply is enough for the device. This means that he has enough energy from the cigarette lighter.

It is also a rare case when a compressor refrigerator functions without problems at slopes up to 45 °. People also praise the device for having a handle that makes it easy to carry. You can only complain about the usable volume, not exceeding 17 liters. Quite a bit, especially for such an expensive device. But this is a price for compactness and 10-kilogram weight.
