   I bought the 45qt BougieRV dual zone refrigerator cooler with Bluetooth app after reading all the reviews. I have to say despite seeing a number of bad and good reviews the unit received is perfect.I’ve been running it for the last few days running a series of tests. I wanted to see if the fridge could cool quickly, if it cooled accurately, and how much control I had over its configuration and it’s calibration.As it turns out, if you read the manual you *really get a lot out of it*. This fridge has advanced controls which are in the app that let you set things like the hysteresis and calibration for the temperature. I didn’t need to touch them though because they were nearly perfect out of the factory.The fridge cooler has excellent settings to keep your battery from getting drained in the car, or from over draining its own internal lithium battery if you decide to purchase one. The fridge has a normal and eco mode to save power, and at the same time it also has configurable voltage cutoffs to prevent your battery from becoming over drained in the car, RV, van, truck or whatever you’ve got.The Bluetooth app paired to the fridge instantly. While the front control panel is not the most straightforward to get to all of the functions, they are clearly labeled just under the display panel. This makes it a lot easier to control the fridge even if you don’t install the app.The fridge has a maximum power draw about 60 watts at 12 volts. It supports a battery, which seems to be a bit of a standard amongst the different manufacturers. BougieRV is working on an 11.1 volt battery that has USB-C charging and support, as well as being able to charge from a 12 or a 24 volt source. Because I didn’t want to wait till December, I bought a battery from one of the other manufacturers that fits. It is also 11.1 volts, but requires a 12.6 volt charger, or can be charged by the refrigerator itself. It takes a while, especially if you’re using the fridge while charging the battery. It’ll charge in about 6 to 8 hours gently from about 11 volts to 12.6 volts.I tested the freezer by putting in four 20 oz water bottles and nothing else. I set the freezer to -4°F and they froze solid after an overnight in the freezer. The actual temperature of the freezer tends to move up and and back 4 degrees from the set temperature. This is in line with the hysteresis setting in the advanced menu of the Bluetooth app. Well done.I set the refrigerator to 38°F, loaded it with four 2 l bottles of soda, and from warm it settled in at around 34-36° and stayed there. The coldest it got was 33 ° but it did not freeze the sodas. This is a good thing.The way the fridge works is that it wraps it’s evaporative coils primarily to the freezer, and there are a couple windings coils around the larger refrigerator section. It is a true two-zone system! You can actually set both sides to be freezers, The larger side can be a refrigerator while the smaller side is a freezer, or you can set both of them to be refrigerators. It’s an excellent setup.Both sides of the fridge have bright LED lights which make it really easy to see what you’re picking out of them. The refrigerator side has a drain plug, which is easy to remove to drain the unit. The thickness of the bottom of the unit is about 3/4 of an inch or so and it is filled with insulation. The lid is completely insulated, with foam just like a yeti. The only complaint I have is that the seal around the lid is pretty basic. You may want to consider replacing the seal with a better one if you are going to be using this fridge all the time in an RV or van conversion.The fridge I purchased has baskets on the refrigerator and the freezer, you can buy two different models one that has the baskets and one does not. I highly recommend purchasing the one with a baskets since it makes it easier to arrange the storage and lift the stuff out.One other potential hack which is worth noting is to cut out a piece of insulation material like styrofoam or mylar bubble wrap the size of the left, and the right opening. That way you can keep your freezer cold or your refrigerator cold when you are pulling items out.This is only the first week I’ve had the unit, I intend to update this review if there are any issues, and just to update on how well this unit works over time.

   Nature Lover – October 4, 2022

   I purchased the BougeRV 12 Volt Car Refrigerator Dual Zone, Portable Freezer Fridge APP Control, 37 Quart.It was shipped quickly, well packaged and clean. While in it’s shipping box it is a bear to move, (poor UPS guy/gal), but once removed from shipping boxes the wheels and handle make it easy to move. The removable baskets lets you lift chest in parts if once its full of food and drinks it is too heavy to lift.It was a little bit bigger than I expected and better looking than the pictures, it is a handsome 12 volt car refrigerator/freezer. I was surprised that it could hold a full gallon of milk plus a ton of other stuff. I did pick out the most rugged looking one on purpose to handle the occasional dirt/bumpy road conditions as well as for camping. I am happy with the size.Also I liked that the wheels and extendable handle can easily be removed with a few simple tools in case I end up using it in a permanent or smaller space.The two internal LED lights are very helpful and well designed, nothing cheap about them, they look good and work well.This bougerv got cold quickly and froze quickly in 70+F building. Works well off of power station with 12volt and pass through as well as works well from wall socket. Direct solar will only work if you have purchased the internal battery that goes with it. I use solar to a power station than use the 12 volt to the fridge or use the pass through.The most wattage I’ve seen it draw so far is in the low 50’s when the compressor is running which only runs a few minutes at a time and that is just the first few minutes of starting it, most of the time it runs between mid 30 watts up to 45 watts depends if I’m using 12 volt or running through a converter, even at max it doesn’t go above 45 watts most of the time. Different outside temperature conditions might have different results, as well as whether you have a cover for it.The USB port DOES work without the internal battery, it works as long as you have a power source connected. Also it DOES keep it’s settings if power has been shut off or turned off than turned back on or plugged back in. But just in case double check everything.The sleek designed digital panel was confusing to me at first and took a few minutes to figure out, reading the manual is a must to understand and re-read it again. Simple cheat notes are printed below the panel so next time you need to set it you will be able to without the manual. Now I really like the way the panel works and understand why the designer/programmers created it the way it is.The digital panel is always on so at a glance you can read the internal temperature, without having to push buttons.There are instructions in the manual on how to change temperature unit from C to F manually in the E5 mode if you don’t have the app. When you go into that mode you will see E1-E-9 and EA-EE. E1 through E5 is for setting up the fridge as a whole (E1 Lowest temp, E2 highest, E3 temp. return E4 Soft start) and than E5 for setting temp. unit from F to C or back again. But don’t change anything except the E5. If you do by accident, the instructions shows you how to reset your fridge.Now about the rest of the “E” settings, E6,-E8 and EB-ED are Temperature compensation settings, to calibrate your temp if you have extra thermometer to check, 6-8 are the left side (big side) and B-E are the right side (small side). The first (E6 and EB) is used in increments of two until desired calibration is accomplished if the internal temp is offset 6 or less degrees, the second (E7 and EC) is if temp is offset more than 6 but less than 12, and the third ones (E8 and ED) is used if the temp is offset more than 12. But don’t change them that way unless you are a total computer geek and do not have dyslexia. You can calibrate through the app….. If you find the right app. This should be done at the factory or instructions should be sent in the manual or the app should have simple wording and places where you can enter in the degrees that it is offset.About the app. Bluetooth does work, but the app that the manual has you go to, for android at least, doesn’t work, I’ve tried three different phones and a tablet. But I did follow the owners of that app who is alpicool and used one of those apps and it works, and under settings you will find where you can calibrate the temperature, and that is a little scary there too so have a complete brain help you with it.Another thing, if you use an app to lock your panel, you can unlock it in a pinch if you can’t find your phone or the app decides to not connect, by holding down the plus and the minus at the same time manually on the panel. I do not know of anyway to lock the panel without the app.Now about the rocky start. Basically my first panel did not work properly, it would not calibrate and was at its worse 10-15F degrees off and yes milk did get spoiled. Everything else worked very well, when I contacted customer service they where on top of it immediately and was very polite and professional, They analysed the problems and found that it was the computer board/panel and sent a replacement if I agreed to install it myself, I have worked as a computer tech in the past and agree to that instead of having to ship this back and forth. I found out that you don’t have to be a tech as the panel was very simple to replace and in the end they also compensated me for my time and trouble.At first I was uncomfortable about that decision but customer service’s concern and help was immediate and plentiful and now I am very happy that I went that route instead of having to repackage everything and drag it down to UPS and wait another month, plus I knew the condenser worked great, just couldn’t get a proper temperature.This replacement panel is working well and with elementary calibration the range is mostly within in 3 degrees which is important because this will also be used as an emergency med fridge in the event of a blackout or long haul trip. My back up for when it is use as a med fridge is an fridge freezer remote thermometer with alarms on it.I am grateful for all the time and care that RougeRV representative went through to insure that I had a good working product, also they take great care to improve anything that might not be working properly and that makes me now interested in checking out their solar panels in the future or possibly the internal battery. I think RougeRV has a good future because they do count their customers as important.
