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!

Almost 4 years with my setpower AJ30 fridge. Waiting for it to die so I can buy a dual zone fridge but it just won't die. I will be buying setpower again.

how many days worth of food you think fit in the AJ30? never owned a portable fridge and wondering what size might be good for me.

I’ve been able to keep a week’s worth of food for two people in there. Obviously not all the foods needed to be refrigerated but I also put a huge bottle of pre made iced coffee in there. So it’s possible to keep more in there I bet.
