Alpicool X50s Amazon £135 Deal today only

[d8smt]

If anyone is interested, they are selling the Alpicool X50s again on Amazon as a deal day for £135. Can be used as a freezer or a fridge, freezes to -19C. I bought one of these last month and tested it, works quite well, but not been on a trip with it yet (next week ). Tested the temperature down to -19C (unit said -20C) and generally temperature is within 1 degree of the unit readout. Kept its temperature for about 2-3 hours without power.
Power requirements are supposedly 440W for 24h @ 25C = ~ 1.5Ah (37A per day). I'll report back in this after my trip.

hope this helps someone!

It's back on as a deal on Amazon Prime Day, same price.

Just been round Europe in a heatwave with this fridge and used it as a supplemental fridge to my installed Domestic CRX50. It performed very well. In a nutshell:
- the CRX had a problem whereby the second coolest selling is a little cold (2 degrees) and the third setting is about 9 degrees. Nothing in-between, and so in high heat you get stuff that is too cold out to warm (eg fruit) plus a lot of condensation water in the fridge. Not so with the Alpicool, the fridge temperature was always within 2 degrees of the display temperature (it was already 1 degree it when I bought it and tested it in UK).
- Both fridges very quiet, didn't notice them when sleeping in the van
- the Alpicool does use a bit more current/battery especially overnight. The CRX is rated at 40W, and the Alpicool 60W. In reality, the CRX used an average of 3 - 3.5Ah per hour of battery, overnight tested in an 11 hour period evening to morning, setting no2, temperatures 34 degrees to 25 degrees overnight. The Alpicool, on a 5 degree setting, used 4.5 - 5.5Ah per hour. So overall through Germany in a heatwave, about 8Ah was utilised by both fridges (reasonably well filled) averaged hourly overnight, compared to the equivalent of 5.5-6Ah when I'm the UK under lower summer temperatures (17-25 degrees C).
