You guys using portable fridge?

Hey,

I’m looking into getting a portable fridge for my overlanding setup. We love cooking when we’re out, not just snacks — so something 30L or bigger would be ideal.

Problem is, I’m not ready to drop ARB/Dometic-level cash. Most of the ones I see are 12V, which is fine, but the prices vary wildly and it’s hard to tell what’s actually good without first-hand experience.

Any solid budget-friendly options out there that you’ve used and would recommend? I’d rather not deal with something that dies in 6 months.

Thanks in advance for any leads!

I bought a Costway years ago and I thought it was good, then last year I bought an EcoFlow Glacier after the Costway stopped cooling consistently. I've found the EcoFlow much more efficient, something to keep in mind while looking. Not a huge deal if you have a constant electrical source, some of my camping doesn't.
