Overview
A lightweight aluminum-bodied 12V dual-zone fridge/freezer in silver, with 37QT of split storage, independent temperature control on each side, and a SECOP compressor that runs on DC or AC power. At 32 lbs it's the lightest dual-zone box in its size class.
Key features
- Two independent zones: a 27L main zone and an 8L freezer, each adjustable across -4°F to 68°F; either side can be shut off to use the whole 37QT box as one space
- SECOP compressor with MAX mode for fast pull-down and ECO mode for low draw (~0.380 kWh per 24 hours, lab)
- Aluminum shell keeps it to 32 lbs empty and resists corrosion in salt and humid air
- Triple power input: 12V/24V DC and 110-240V AC through the built-in adapter
- Three-level adjustable battery protection guards your vehicle's starter battery
- Bluetooth app control plus an onboard panel; rated to keep cooling on grades up to a 40-degree tilt
- Ships with an AC adapter, DC cable, and a fitted insulated cover
Use cases
Built for weight-conscious overlanders on payload-limited rigs like Tacomas, 4Runners, and Broncos, where a 45-plus-pound steel box eats into the budget. It suits weekend-to-week trips that need a fridge and a small freezer without hauling a second cooler, and it does double duty at home on AC between trips. Owners run it off house batteries, portable power stations, and solar.

Can I run the fridge and freezer at the same time?
Yes. The 27L main zone and the 8L freezer each have their own setpoint, so you can keep one side at fridge temps and freeze the other, anywhere across -4°F to 68°F. You can also shut one side off and run the full 37QT box as a single zone.
How much power does it use, and will it drain my battery?
Lab draw is about 0.380 kWh over 24 hours. In real use it pulls roughly 30% of a 100Ah auxiliary battery over 10 hours, or about a third of a 1000Wh power station overnight. Three-level adjustable battery protection shuts the compressor down before it pulls your starter battery too low.
Will the aluminum body hold up to trail use?
Structurally, yes — and aluminum shrugs off corrosion in salt air and humidity better than painted steel. The honest caveat is cosmetic: loose cans bouncing around on washboard can dent the thin interior floor. A cheap interior basket or organizer keeps your contents from rattling and saves the finish.
Is the 8L freezer zone big enough to be useful?
It's a real freezer and hits 0°F, but it's small. Plan on a few steaks, some ice packs, or a pint of ice cream — not a week of frozen meals for a family. If you need more frozen space, run both zones cold and use the 27L side too.
How fast does it cool down?
In MAX mode the lab figure is 77°F down to 32°F in about 11 minutes. Real-world pull-down runs more like 10 to 20 minutes depending on how hot it is and how full the box is.
Does the temperature display read accurately?
The thin aluminum shell cycles more in heat, and on rough off-road runs the panel can read a few degrees off the true interior. If you're freezing, set your target 3 to 5 degrees below what you want and check it with a separate thermometer until you know your unit.
Can I power it at home, not just in the vehicle?
Yes. It has a built-in AC adapter for a standard 110-240V wall outlet and a 12V/24V DC input for a vehicle or power station, and it ships with both cables. A lot of owners run it on AC at the house between trips and switch to DC on the road.
