What colors are what on ice on icooler
Just ordered the 3 in 1 Great review, thanks
Do a video of freezing water and how long it takes to melt
Thanks for reviewing. What are the dimensions?
@Diggy d Check again. There are plenty still but none at $299.
Dude, I really enjoy your reviews. You answer ALL the questions I can reasonably think of. Your thorough demonstrations are key!
Damn I would have loved one for 299
Professor, great review. I am not an RV'er. I am a sailor with a 30 foot trimaran down in San Carlos, Mx. I have an old Engel freezer/refridge. That is why i was so interested in your findings. Man, you are so thorough in your review. I am now a subscriber. One trick that i might add that i use for my freezer that i run on 12v....I use the Engel as a freezer only. I keep a one liter of water in a soda type bottle. I have another cooler that is a Yeti-like box. At the beginning of my trip everything is already precooled or frozen. The Yeti box is filled and has an identical 1 liter bottle with frozen water in it. Those Yeti like box's can keep everything very cool for 5 days plus before you swap out the bottles between the freezer and the Yeti box. One of the main tricks is not to open up the boxes very often...Plan ahead. I also turn down my freezer from hard frozen ...level 5 ...on the dial to about 2-2.5 on the knob at night. This will save you some amps overnight. You do not need to keep things at hard frozen 24 hours a day ...7 days/wk. As long as things don't thaw you are good to go. Great review and thank you Sir...
I'm a sailor too and echo your comments and a new subscriber as well! Grateful for the review too.
@@kkots I'm not a sailor. 😪 But my dad was. 😬👍
you had me until crowd funded......The Coolest Cooler flashbacks.
I received mine today.
Coolest cooler didn't make coolers beforehand. Iceco has been making powered coolers for years
The ICECO iCooler is now available for retail pre-order for $509. Visit the ICECO Store Page via this link then add your desired model to cart. Use code HOBOTECH at checkout for 12% off. icecofreezer.com/discount/HOBOTECH
Update... now $550, almost twice the price...
why does an established company with a successful product line like Iceco need to raise a small amount of money (for a healthy business) via crowdfunding/Indiegogo for a new product? Like others have said, it would be interesting to see some tests using the water freezing feature to freeze a block of ice on the bottom and then test it as a conventional cooler and another test freezing a block of ice on the bottom and then plugging it in to a Jackery and run it on eco mode to see how many watts it uses per day or week to keep the contents frozen and then one more test with the frozen block to start with, plugged in for refrigeration to see how long it keeps the contents refrigerated (not frozen). This test would be for weekenders who start a trip from a home base with plenty of house power to freeze the block of water in the bottom before heading out for the weekend or a 1 week trip.
Good ideas but I needed to get this video out before the campaign was over. The 24 hour test with it unplugged should give you a good idea how well it is insulated. No doubt freezing a block of water would let it stay cold for days.
Most people will pack it half full...... you haven't met my wife
I just ordered it, and I guaranty my husband will pack every square inch.
I got mine from Indiegogo and it was working great for a week or two until it presented an error message of E7 and would only freeze. I contacted Iceco regarding their warranty but have not heard back. The manual says that is an NTC fault. After investigation that means the thermistor. Thankfully I was able to fix this error myself by opening the vented outer chamber and investigating. The thermistor cable had wiggled loose, which I then rectified. Thankfully this was a quick fix this time. We will see if they return my email. Great little fridge, I hope it lasts a long time!
I received an email today that my Iceco 3 in 1 is on the way!! What a relief, Its been a long wait. I was #411
Sept. 8 delivery date.
It took a while to get here, but I was an early backer and got in on the $399 level back in May and it just arrived today. So far it's working great. Dropped from 75f to 20f in about an hour. I'll be testing running off of my "solar generator" later. This thing is going to great in my van.
A dorm fridge is also not designed to travel. The compressor jumps around and leads to refrigerant leak and SOL.
when you said you were out in arizona weather i kept watching... none of that easy climate ... fellow arizonan
I'm sad, I can't get the offer in Canada. This one has the best design features. We get the little mini rounded versions. Why is it so hard to get good efficient appliances in Canada? CANADIAN GOVERNMENT! ARE YOU LISTENING? YOU WANT TO GO CARBON NEUTRAL? ENABLE US TO DO IT AT THE RIGHT PRICE POINT! Sorry for yelling.
I'm in Toronto, I ordered a Joytutus fridge from Amazon, 299 CAD free delivery. Came in 3 days. Not quite as big as this one, 18L capacity, but it seems to be good so far. I haven't tested the Eco mode yet, nor anything but deep freeze (-18c) with a full load. Draws about 32w consistent on 12v.
For testing I froze it on AC power and let it drop to temperature before switching to DC. For my purposes that simulates real use; cool it down the night before my trip then run it on a power station for a day/weekend trip.
It doesn't say so on the Amazon listing, but they also offer you a free insulating and carrying bag if you email them post purchase. I haven't recieved it yet, but it's on the way.
I'll be doing more testing this weekend.
So the retail version iceco icooler says it is using secop compressor. Do you think it will be more efficient? Then the one you reviewed that does not have it?
I wonder while we charge in cigarette in our car it will draining car’s batteries out .
How often how long we can using car charger?
Keep extra water bottles to fill unused space and act as thermal mass...
why?
@@48956l The extra thermal mass will help the cooler maintain a steady temperature without the compressor having to cycle on/off as much. It will also have the side benefit of lower overall power consumption over time due to less on/off cycling of the compressor. ;-)
@@LordTimelord Even if the compressor kicks on more with less stuff inside, doesn't it have to run for shorter intervals? I always thought that was what balanced it out.
@@48956l With less stuff inside, their is less thermal mass. This means that the temperature will fluctuate more often between highs and lows (especially when you open the door and let the cold air out) because there is more 'air' inside the unit. So a fridge/freezer that is 50% full vs. 90% full will use more energy maintaining temperature because there is more dead air space inside that has to be cooled back down again. Just be sure to allow some room for airflow around the inside as 100% full is bad as there is reduced airflow. If you have lots of extra room, adding water bottles (fridge) or salt-water bottles (freezer) is a easy way to increase how much thermal mass you have inside. This comes in very handy if you loose power, as it will take significantly longer for the contents to warm up and spoil (especially if you keep the door shut until the power is restored).
@@LordTimelord Sure the temp fluctuates more rapidly but that goes both ways. The compressor will kick on more frequently but less mass cools more rapidly so it stays on for a shorter period of time. Additionally, you'll lose power more quickly if you have to get those bottles down to fridge or freezer temp in the first place, so it doesn't actually net you any additional cool time if you're purely on battery power. Finally, not much cold air rushes out of a chest-style fridge/cooler when it's opened, since cold air is heavier than warm air. Sure, some is exchanged, but I don't know if it's a huge difference between a full and half full fridge or cooler.
It sounds like most of what you're saying applies to grid-powered upright house units, battery powered chest-units with a finite power source are different.
Can you fill it with beer cans, and tell me how long it takes to chill them all to 40 F. My old waeco 35 could do it in about 2 hours on a hot day. It would make an interesting video.
Finally! A TH-cam recommendation I can actually enjoy👍 subbed
Yeah
🤔 I would be interested in your opinion of this refrigerator compared to your Dometic 👍
I am a traveling pastor and have been on the road for 4 years now, in the very beginning I lost my dometic 3 cu. ft. 3 way refer. I have been waiting for something to come out and kick some butt on these other refer companies who have a monopoly on rv refrigeration, seeing these stats really gives me hope, maybe I will end up with a fridge again. I only have 145Wh in my campervan and 165 watt go solar system which is awesome, praise God not one hiccup. Thank you for your input and hard work and of course all the video editing that goes with it. God bless in your endeavors.

Well done sir, I loved the shoot of the inside electronics.
this reminds me of The Kernel from KFC teaching us all how to prep and survive the apocalypse. I have the need for BBQ sauce at this time -- a super food.
he wears gloves because he eats lots of barbeque
Went to the kickstarter page and where you pay for the item just doesn't look legit . So if I pay the 299 will I receive the iceco three-in-one? Also was looking at the bundle one where you get the blue refrigerator and accessories for $334.00 but what I'm really asking is I don't understand a Kickstarter
Kickstarter is over. You need to use the link to go to the Indiegogo page. $299 deal is gone. The $334 includes accessories like a wireless thermostat and other stuff. It's all on that page.
@@HOBOTECH would you sell me your I cooler JP 42 ? Asking for a friend 😁
Great test and interesting results. I will be looking for one of these and the Jackery.
The lowest priced cooler on your link was:
ICECO 32QT JP30 12V Refrigerator Portable Fridge Freezer
Sale price$499.00
There is nothing for $299.
Seems like a ad for power bricks
So I will tell other wise, get a 12v leisure battery. also has in setting to turn off at min of 9.6v
Just saying
instead on the 240wh of the Jackery you get 1380Wh with a 120ah battery. third the price 5 time the battery bank
Tom. I just think you changed the way I live. I got my Jackery 500 to run my CPAP. I can get three nights running by just plugging in the converter straight into 110. If I can get more nights by putting a 12 plug on it WOW, WOW!!!!! That would change everything. I just looked on amazon. I did not even know you could get a 12volt plug for it. If this works, and after I get my Jackery 1,000 back....... this will totally change my life when I am off grid. Dude...... you are seriously the man! Step 1: get correct 12 volt plug. Step 2: get my Jackery 1,000 back. Step 3: Determine how much juice I can get with 12 volt. Step 4: conquer the world!!!!!
Yep Hobotech Tom's our man! You The man is a genius.
Excellent review!
One thing I continue to notice ( although I could be wrong) I see a Jackery Explorer here and there in your videos.
Could it be you really like them ????
I love mine 🙂
It took 3 months to deliver it to my door. I had to return mine because of a temperature control issue and it had strange scratches (used?) inside the bottom of the fridge. It took 3 phone calls and a month to get a return authorization from support.
I just ordered the Jackery 1000 and might order this cooler for hurricane season here in Puerto Rico. Thank you so much for these reviews.
Get you 400w of solar
@@Nimashet I do have two 200 watts panels and just ordered the Anderson adapter with a cable extension, thanks.
Did it arrived to PR? Both? Do we have representative of products here in PR, San Juan?
@@alexisbrewer200 unfortunately no, I ordered it and it arrived a friend's house in Miami and she sent it to me to Puerto Rico.
@@alexisbrewer200 as of the panels, I had them since Hurricane María and kept them, and use them with the Jackery.
0°f?! You mean I can freeze my raw fish for a couple days to make it sushi/sashimi safe?!
A 100 watt panel could run this to a solid ice brick during the day so it could stay frozen over night, nice.
Further, with a modest lithium battery ome could keep it running through day while storing the excess power from that panel and running all night
Excellent review and very educational. I learn almost all my off grid electrical from you. You rock!
I've been looking at these compressor fridg/freezer units for a while now, what i have learned is the Danfos compressors are the best to get. What are your thoughts or comments regarding the off brand compressor used in this unit? My concern is how will service life be on this Iceco iCooler. Your thoughts please. Thanks
It has a 2 year warranty and costs half of any other name brand. If I was in the market and didn't want to spend $600 on a Dometic I would buy one at this price.
I looked up the compressor and it seems Huayi makes some of Danfoss's compressors and the DL19H is in some of Danfoss's literature.
made in china no thanks
Then you better get rid of most of your clothes, furniture, electronics, and that cell phone you're carrying.
@@HOBOTECH amen, I'm in the process!
Here's an interesting test. Since it works as cooler as well. How efficient would the fridge part be if you also had Ice in it at the same time?
Very Thorough Test..thanks for the info and efforts
Excellent review. Just a heads up, when using the fridge in conjunction with a vehicle charging system’s start battery it is bad to allow it to drain below 10.0 volts. Only lithium ion batteries are designed for that, such as the jackery. Permanent could result if one drains the start battery to 9.0 volts. Thanks for sharing and great review!
Thanks for the review!
Personally, I am not a fan of the rubber clasps from the Yeti cooler design. I like a lid that seals itself when you drop it with an option to lock it if you wish to. These newer designs require to be clasped tight to make a seal what-so-ever.
THANK YOU GREAT DETAIL VIDEO ON 12V REFRIGERATOR
Russian Blue's are amazing.
I run a Snomaster 35 liter fridge at 33 degrees off a Jackery 240 with a 60w Jackery solar panel. On a sunny day, the solar panel keeps the Jackery at 100% all day long. If days were sunny, I wonder how long I could run it. Maybe indefinitely. I'm going to try it out. That little Jackery is a nice unit. This setup beats buying ice and dealing with melt water and soggy food.
Where did you buy the snow master fridge?
Impressive, and so are your thorough reviews.
You're a credit and exceptional public service to any company and consumer.
Definitely love appliance tests. More coolers, and maybe power usage on cooking appliances like Instapots.
😉👍
Great video and information. You earned my sub. I'm looking forward to learning more from your other videos.
That is great. I could use the fridge for my landscaping business. I am always delivering drinks (and maybe beer) to my landscape workers.
Hi Hobotech. I have a JP42 that I purchased based on your review. I have had 3 units now ICECO has replaced that do not cool properly. I even offered to come to their facility at their request only to get no response. Either I have the worst luck or there is something inherently defective with this model. I have another ICECO model and it has been working fine. I am very frustrated with them. This is my experience with their poor customer service. I am sure since you have a TH-cam channel they would not treat you this way. A warranty is useless unless the company honors it. Has anybody out there had any problems with their JP42 models?
Love Hobotech videos, We might use it with lid open and the 12v fan to blow cold air without install Air Conditioner :-)
LOL
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH !! I ordered mine from the kick starter when Russ did the preview. Glad you did the testing. I've been watching you & SUBD quite a while back. TAKE CARE..
Got one of these as a mobile drink fridge in my truck (main fridge in mounted in my off-road trailer). 4 years and a bunch of rough roads and trails, and it has never let me down.
It takes up alot o room
@@leeinwis it’s about the same as a regular full size cooler, and on that 3rd camp day, when you don’t run out of ice, it’s worth it
Finally, a cooler to carry my change!
Lol
Can I connect directly to a solar panel and in the day charge the battery and in the night use the battery ? can keep freeze the food for a week or two?
This refrigerator doesn't have a battery.
should have been a danfose compressor
They sell the JP models with Danfoss for $600 if you want one.
I ordered mine through Indiegogo but Im dissappointed that ICECO decided to go with a cheaper compressor (hence the reduced warranty( instead of staying with what seems to be a proven design.
Is there any other reason for the change in compressors?
@@HOBOTECH The pre-order page on iceco's website says it's a Secop compressor in this model. Why did you find a Huay inside?
@@MattLaVoie1 The retail models have the better compressor. They're also more money now.
Power plug looks flipped upside down and would put some strain on the wire by bending?
Great review. I appreciate u telling us exactly what we need to run one of these.
Excellent video man. Liked and subscribed!!!
Needs coverings for exposed receptacles, the plastic water drain cap needs to be attached to the drain so you don't lose it
There's more small area for food
Smart guy... Probably first review I've watched all the way through... Subbed.. Hope to see you out there. Keep it up!!
Just buy a cheap 20 dollar cooler and add 5 dollars of dry ice. No water to drain, and all the cold you’ll ever require for days
@@richkreyche7064 i agree.. But after like a week im like.. I got solar! Why am i always trying to find dry ice!? So.. Makes sense for me but if youre just a weekend warrior, more or LESS power to ya!
@@richkreyche7064 Wanna be cheap, here's an idea you might consider, just set the freezer and make your own ice to sell to other travelers. I'm going to do it for sure. Got my order shipped, should be here Wednesday.
Some of us live full time on the road and need a real refrigerator. Sure a $5 ice chest is fine for a weekend warrior but it is not a long term solution for most.
@@HOBOTECH couldn't have said it better myself
I'm not 100% sure about what you said, but damn it sounded convincing! Got to invest in the Jackery and the ICECO! Love your channel HOBOTECH!
Question number 1 - is it made in China ? If so, no thanks.
Then you better return those socks, your cell phone, and 90% of everything else you own.
@@HOBOTECH my socks are made in the good ole USA. My phone is from China, next one won't be, I'll go without if needed.
You really don't mind supporting the despot communist regime, sad. Try and get up to speed politically. The fentanyl they sent here alone probably kills 35,000 annually. I recommend Scott Adams. It's like a combination of Aesop's fables, Mr Rogers and maybe a little Lenny Bruce.
Not too fond of the whole Indiegogo thing. Especially since I just clicked on the $348 option and it never let me open it to add. What other fridge/freezers would you recommend in the same price and performance area?
Campaign ended a few days ago. Refrigerator recommendations are on hobotech.tv/amazon under kitchen.
@@HOBOTECH ah ok...so wont be able to purchase it anymore? Or until released as a manufacturer item?
A few days too late
Just bought one last week. Dang it man.
Maaaaaaaannnnnn I can't just order one and get it in the mail. Otherwise EXCELLENT VIDEO!
GIANT FROWNIE FACE :C
This thing would be good for a boat!
This one jumped over $200 more since this video
I have bought two non compressor coolers they don't really keep things cool a closed car very well. I don't know what they draw but it seems that they draw a lions share but don't do much. The only thing I don't like about it is where it is made I am not against that country but made in USA would sell me for sure. Your tests proved its worth for sure. Thank you for sharing your video.
Good luck finding a 12v fridge made in the USA. Even the #1 brand Dometic is made in Sweden.
@@HOBOTECH unless there is capital to be gained I agree but with things the way they have been globally I would think someone would come up with a USA made like this.
Do you have a part number for the Anderson plugs the plug into the solar generator. I thought it was an Anderson plug I looked on your Amazon page can I saw several different types of connectors.
I have two Anderson Powerpole kits for making your own adapters on hobotech.tv/amazon/#Solar-Adapters . I don't have the official part numbers.
That 1 shows out of stock. I have already looked through your Amazon page but was hoping to get number.
Thank you
Thank you for the video. Excellent test.
Less than a yeti
Thanks for the great info. Mine just arrived! I have a battle born Latium wired to charge thru my van isolator and hooked to my 12 volt outlets. Do I also need an isolator to run this off the 12 volt outlets?
If your battery is on an isolator and you plug this into your battery, then no.
Makes sense. Price is right. It's a little bit large for van life. But it performs the way it should.
Hi HOBOTECH! I’ve just received my ICECO jp42, I am planning to use it in my rzr xp1000 powered by my EB55 for long trips. I would like to see you torturing the ICECO jp42 in your side by side, is good in dust, water splashes and vibration it’s suppose to be rugged but it would be nice from you to see how far you can bring its torture 💪🏼
Professor HOBO, thanks for the info on how to power a compressor fridge on a power station.
Could you do a similar product review with a dual-zone compressor fridge?
Was very informative and will look into one of these. For me all the technical information was mind numbing but I can see it would be helpful for those that are that technical. For me just want to know will it keep things cold, how long and will it kill my battery. Good review
FYI; Just tried to pick up the 45 qt. From Iceco at your $299 review price.... Talked to them on the phone & the gentleman said they are no longer offered at that price... Said the one you reviewed had a different compressor in it... Wouldn’t honor your review price of $299...
Used to enjoy ur channel utill u changed over to reviews only
What was the channel before reviews?
And don't knock the reviews; I just just saved almost 300$ on the bluetti EB240 using his coupon along with an Amazon coupon. So it's not all bad.
An additional comment, while I agree on using the 12v capabilities is more efficient what about those who are (off grid cabin) using regular chest freezers with an external thermometer to regulate the temperatures? Chest freezers do have better insulation and top lid access allows for less cold loss.
Chest freezers still use AC to DC conversion to run the compressor. While much better insulated you are still wasting a lot of power to heat to run off AC.
Just checking math. At 24:07 it says the compressor ran for 1421 minutes (40%) in a 24 hour period. 60 minutes per hour x 24 hours is 1440 minutes in a day. So in 24 hours the compressor was only off for 19 minutes?
Wow!! Great video!! Bought an ICECO a couple months ago. I guess it was the previous model...JP50. Very impressed with it but I paid $500 bucks for it. Love this model....looks like we gonna get another ICECO!! CHEERS!!!
A couple questions and comments. It did not seem to maintain the set temp, even when checking the temp in the morning instead of in the evening. Apparently not accurate regulation. How much did it vary during the heat of the day? Set at 40 and 10 degrees off at 8 am after a cool night, might your food get on a hot day with an unregulated cooler? Better than ice coolers and Pelletier style for sure. But I would expect a $400 plus compressor cooler to be accurately governed. If you are putting stuff in it that doesn't matter, get an ice chest. Freezing is a great option, but I probably wouldn't rely on this for safe food storage any more than a cheap ice chest.
I love Chinese tech these days . Looking forward to testing my off grid skills Lol Not really , forty five years building high tech generators for Westinghouse and General Electric and got a hi tech gas turban in the front yard . Spools up real good when they pore the coal to it Lol . T/C/E
1423 minutes is 23.7 hours, that can't be compressor hours right?
The info he conveyed is complete and spot on otherwise.
Being on solar one must become tight with ones watt budget.
Great video! How many 12oz cans will it hold?
Am thinking of the jp40 or the iCooler 3. Just a weekend warrior I need a freezer to keep fish fillets frozen for at least 4 days when fishing. Which would you choose? Thank you.
My iCooler compressor died after 1 year and I only used it for two extended periods. I noticed they switched over to the Dan Foss/secop compressor now. Also the lid on mine doesn't appear to have any insulation in it either. Shame on ICECO.
Sales are about to Skyrocket. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼Great review as always and really good product.! Thanks again
I clicked the ICECO link you have and dont see this cooler/frig/freezer you did the test on..Thanks HOBO-DUDE
Same for me......not on their website and the same if you use his Hobo tech/amazon link...shows other Iceco coolers ....something isn't right
As stated, it is not yet for retail sale.
For other models visit the ICECO Store Page icecofreezer.com/discount/HOBOTECH use code HOBOTECH for a store wide discount.
@@HOBOTECH Sorry...... Wife says I dont listen either..Must be true...
WRONG! Most people would keep that FULL! How did you come to your erroneous conclusion? Ever lived long term in a van or RV?
China crap which is obvious if you look at the warped plastic insert, and rough parting lines from the injection molds. From having 2 units, Dometic ( Sweden/Euro) runs 88 hours on Jackery 500Watt unit! Multi stage compressor and -7 degrees. Nothing more frustrating than not being able to go below 0 degrees F , if you have long trips. Also, the ARB is amazing too! Highly recommend not buying from Amazon versus supporting local stores that sell non-China stuff. Highly recommend Dometic or ARB!
Dometic is Swedish. Everything else you stated became invalid the moment you got that simple fact wrong.
I have had a lot of problems with cigarette plug that comes with these refrigerators. My fridge is a Joy Tutus. The red tipped plug will not stay inserted in the receptacle. I removed it and installed a different brand of plug.
The latches are on the wrong side of the door. Tough to open if your the driver.
Then flip it 180?

Call the fraud center and tell them to stop blocking your purchase or you will find a new bank, they do it to me always
If someone could make one of these with a dual fridge freezer Id buy one in a heart beat. But all the existing compressor coolers on the market are'nt insulated enough.
This is awesome! Do they come in different sizes? Can i fill with ice as well and run the compressor at random to cool the ice? You
No and yes.
