It’s amazing how products are getting more efficient and lighter for our Overlanding Addiction. ❤
Talon, good vid! Right now I solve the battery issue by trickle charging my Jackery 1000 off my cig lighter while driving, and run the fridge off of the Jackery DC port. I tap into the Jackery battery power when I’m camping. In hot Utah weather, my fridge draws down around 25% over night. I can make up a one night battery deficit in four hours of driving.
That’s how I do it too but it’s not a great solution. Just One cord from the fridge to the truck would be ideal 👌🏼 Hopefully they can take the tip and make a self powered unit soon 🤞🏼
What does my fridge draws down around 25% mean?
It only drains 25% of the battery? It drains 75%? And leaves 25?
Perfect timing - this is the year I'm moving from a cooler to a fridge, adding a battery, and a toilet for the wife. Great info - and this is the first small one I've seen with a freezer. Neat!
I’m going to go broke from all the cool stuff you feature. Great video
I'm tired of ice so I pulled the trigger on this Iceco fridge. Great review!
Iceco is awesome. Started w a jp40, moved up to a gigantic VL75ProD. Just my wife and I, but it was pivotal when we spent 11 days in the infield of Daytona International Speedway.
Really like that position holding lid. One of the advantages of the vl75, is the multiple ways to open the lid. Idk if they could incorporate that tech into the VL lids, but that would be amazing.
But, every product I've had from iceco, I've never had an issue with. Performed as well, or better than promised. And, ice cream sammiches just hit different on the trail.
Just got one it’s so quiet you don’t know it’s on ,Cools down extremely quickly!it’s a keeper!!!
Yep. I want one. I have a larger Dometic but like you need something smaller. As always well done.
Love the design. I may want to pick this up. I currently run an engel MR040 fridge. I really like it and mostly like the single zone but every now and then itd be nice to have a freezer section. I may sell my Engel and buy this one. This is ideal for most of my use cases. Also price is right. I also plan on buying iceco vl60D to have for larger trips. We are a family of 4 but even our current 40qt fridge works mostly for our needs. We tend to just do weekend trips or long weekend trips maybe 4 days and most. Now that the kids are starting to get a bit bigger they eat more and we have started going on longer trips every now and then so the larger fridge will be nice for long trips and the smaller for shorter trips.
My new favorite to buy! Similar to one of the comment I seen, ice and ice packs take up room I would rather have something in plus it takes time to pack with them. A battery pack that plugs into the side or attaches similar to the battery pack you used is perfect.
I have a Iceco VL35 that has an expandable collar and two different lid options(a flat and a domed), I think its discontinued now, but I love it. Its pretty damn heavy, but definitely well built and very quiet.
Been watching for years. Your channel is the most professional and educational and entertaining of it's ilk. (Mike, too). I especially admire the constancy of reporting and analysis. Your demeanor seems perfect for presenting product or just hangin". You seem like a great friend. Is A gonna get her desert oasis dream wedding? Take good care, Mr. Talon.
Thanks for the kind words! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Just got one!
Purchased the Super Early Bird with the APL35 and the tray. A lot of tiers have already sold out. I will have to pick up the cover later. I do wish it had a basket in it. As a single female, it would still be nice to load the unit in the car (even as light as this is compared to others) and then load in the food.
Just get a plastic bag..
Agreed. I like the basket in my dometic so I can just take that out to put in the house after a trip and the cooler stays in the garage.
That's a nice looking fridge, would you consider installing a dual battery in ya truck? Its a very popular thing to do here in Australia, we have fridges running 24/7 in our vehicles, so handy
May be my new fav pick for my first minivan fridge, planned for extended use. Any stats on its energy consumption? Originally had in mind to get VL35 ProS but lighter and a smidge smaller exterior.
My understanding is it’s not about the power draw. The inverters on the Toyotas is not pure sin wave and that’s why they don’t charge power stations… you might check on that but that is what I have found.
Can this cooler fit a 2L pepsi bottle standing up? How about the classic wine bottle? It seems like they generally measure about 12" inches so I am curious as I think it might be very close.
Laying down, yes - two should fit in the bottom (should be able to fit 4). Standing up? No - 2L bottles are ~12.4" high: ""The large container of the APL35 has dimensions of 14.1" L x 9.9" W x 11.8" H, which converts to approximately 35.8 cm x 25.1 cm x 30 cm."
Thanks for the info!!
Just an FYI but you can get a DC car plug to xt60i plug, that will charge the battery bank. The Toyota inverters are notoriously under powered and I found this work around for my battery/fridge set up in my Tacoma.
👍👍💙

The fact that it has a compressor can it be turned upside down? Most if not all refrigerators have to stay upright so oil doesn’t get into the refrigeration system
I have no idea. Not sure why you would ever want it upside down 🤷🏼♂️
You’re off road over landing shit happens and it gets knocked over for a period of time, is it going to be okay?
@@mattwalker2583 Their fridges are designed to operate at a 40 degree angle. If it gets turned over, you may have to allow the compressor to settle for 24 hours.
Thanks for the info
BTW I love IceGo, I had been using the Go20 for the last couple years. The fridge with the hot swappable battery you discuss is the Eco Flow offering. Charges perfectly off of 12V power and it makes ice!
WELL….great idea, But it’s only on Indigo, and would take two months to get. Poo
Don't mind me, just ICECOasting into the comments section.
No, I vote for no integrated battery, Better to keep it light, low cost and simple.
Made in china…RIP
