Overview
An 85 quart portable refrigerator/freezer from Whynter that runs on either a 110V household outlet or 12V/24V DC power, with a temperature range from -8°F to 50°F and a fast freeze function for rapid cooldown.
- Compressor cooling from -8°F to 50°F
- Fast freeze function for rapid cooldown
- Dual AC 110V and DC 12V/24V power
- Stainless steel handles and drain plug for cleaning
Who it's for
RV owners, boaters, and campers who need real refrigerator or freezer temperatures away from a wall outlet, running on either a car battery or AC power. Less suited to anyone needing a frost-free unit, since owners running it long-term report needing to defrost every few months.
Pros and cons
- Holds true freezer temperatures on 12V battery power for multi-day trips
- Runs on either 110V household power or 12V/24V DC
- Kept a home's frozen food safe during a freezer repair
- Dual power cords included
Performance notes
The fast freeze function is meant to pull the interior down quickly rather than gradually. One long-term owner running it full time as a boat freezer reports needing to defrost every 2-3 months and notes the lid does not seal tightly, letting in some condensation.
