评论：Bougerv 53夸脱便携式汽车冰柜（冰箱）

If you live your life on the road, you need a way to store food for your travels. Sure, a basic Coleman cooler is good enough for a trip to the beach or a day-long camping trip. But for long-term use over days or weeks, you need an actual refrigerator. But a travel fridge needs to meet a number of requirements. For one thing, it needs to operate on DC power. Cars, semi trucks, and even RVs use DC instead of AC, so most ordinary fridges are out. Similarly, a travel fridge needs to be designed so it won’t drain your vehicle battery. Otherwise, you might wake up in the morning and not be able to start your engine.

In the past, we’ve looked at a number ofDC便携式冰柜/冰箱单元。Today, we’re going to take a deep dive into a single option. We’ll be reviewing the BougeRV 53 Quart Portable Car Freezer (And Refrigerator). This is a portable combination unit that’s designed specifically for cars, trucks, and RVs. It can operate anywhere there’s a DC power supply, and has both a fridge and freezer compartment. But how well does it perform when it’s put under stress? And what can you actually store in it? To find out, we’ll have to take a closer look. Let’s take a peek under the hood, and see what we find out!

总体设计

这BougeRV 53 Quart Portable Car Freezer/Refrigeratoris a well-engineered unit that’s quite roomy for the size. Most fridges with this capacity measure at least two feet on one side. This one, on the other hand, measures 22 inches in depth, 13 in width, and 21 in height. As a result, you can fit it in smaller spaces that wouldn’t work for most other high-capacity fridges. We should point out that there’s also a 42-quart variant available. It has most of the same features; it’s just smaller. The larger variant we’re reviewing today weighs 46 pounds empty. When fully loaded, it can get pretty heavy.

值得庆幸的是,冰箱很容易移动。虽然它的a true refrigerator, it’s built like a cooler. The elastic handles are big and beefy, and sit comfortably in your hand even when the fridge is full. The finish is soft, and has a little bit of give, so you won’t get any pressure points on your fingers or palm. Moreover, the handles fold down when they’re not in use. This keeps them out of the way during normal operation.

手柄并不是唯一的塑料部件。实际上，除了压缩机外，兄弟式零件都不是金属。这降低了腐蚀的风险，并且仍然很坚固。也就是说，有一个缺点。使用金属框架，您可以将冰箱螺栓固定到位，以进行半永久安装。有了一个全塑料的住房，没有什么可以穿过的。这不是Bougerv冰箱设计的目的，但这是您应该非常了解的限制。

该设计令人惊讶地吸引人，大部分身体为固体缎面变色。中间还有一条宽阔的灰色条纹，会产生重音。手柄上的相同颜色图案相反，侧面为灰色，握把为黑色。盖子也是黑色的，背面带有铰链。它可以轻松地上下折叠，并用灰色闩锁固定。该闩锁的设计非常坚固，不会容易弹出；当然，除非您想要它。我们唯一不喜欢美学的东西是盖子上浮雕的光泽“无步”符号。这是一个很好的建议，但作为永久性功能很丑。一个简单的可移动警告贴纸将是一个更好的选择。

在盖子的背面，在铰链的顶部，您会看到一个LCD控制面板。这将向您显示两个隔间的当前温度以及冰箱的当前设置。您还可以调整温度，开关模式，然后打开和关闭设备。总而言之，它提供了许多全尺寸冰箱的调整和自定义选项。

这compressor runs reasonably quietly, topping out at 45dB. This is louder than a whisper, but softer than the noise of a normal conversation. So instead of being whisper quiet, it would be better described as “mutter quiet.” Still, it’s not loud enough to disrupt your sleep. If you’re using your fridge in a sleeper cab or an RV, the volume will be just fine.

This freezer/fridge will run on both 12 and 24-volt DC power systems. Meaning that it’s suitable for both very large and very small vehicles. You can run it the back of a Prius as easily as you can in a semi. In fact, it can also be used with aportable power station。这是避免在车辆电池上施加不需要的压力的好方法。如果这还不够，那么Bougerv Freezer也可以使用太阳能运行。只要您的太阳能电池板至少以10.9伏的速度弹出45瓦，那么您就可以了。最后，它甚至可以在110和220伏交流电上运行。获取一个简单的插座适配器，您可以在世界任何地方的家中使用它。结果，Bougerv冰箱为烧烤和其他各方提供了可靠的备份。

与冰箱本身一起，您将获得AC和DC电源电缆。交流电是北美风格。因此，尽管Bougerv与220伏电源兼容，但您仍然需要一个插头适配器。这些配件以及压缩机由两年制造商的保修涵盖。其余的冰箱被一年的适当（即使不那么健壮）覆盖。

Storage and Organization

在BougeRV冰箱内部,你会发现两种布局方式te storage compartments. The front compartment is the cooler portion, and has a volume of about 40 liters. Because it stays about five degrees cooler than the back compartment, it’s the freezer compartment. The rear compartment is significantly smaller, with a 10-liter capacity. Because it’s warmer, it’s usually used as the refrigerator. Keep in mind that this is simply the recommended use. In practice, the temperature range is wide enough that you can use both compartments as either a fridge or freezer.

储物篮的大小适用于较大的隔间，设计可轻松卸下。大约是整个单元高度的一半，并且位于车厢的顶部。这个想法是，如果您必须达到底部的东西，则不必单独删除所有内容。取而代之的是，您可以一口气抬起篮子，其中所有东西都可以。这使您可以在需要时快速易于底部。

Inside the fridge compartment, you’ll also find an LED light. This makes it easy to see inside, even if your surroundings are dark. This is a standard feature on full-sized fridges, but it’s uncommon on mini fridges and virtually unheard-of on travel fridges.

冷却性能

因此，借助所有这些存储和坚固的设计，Bougerv在实际冷却食物方面的表现如何？首先，温度范围可将华氏度从-4度到50度。在低端，您可以将两个隔室用作冰柜。在高端，您将比普通的冰箱范围温暖，并且无法进行食物。但是，50度非常适合解冻。由于冰箱仍然相对凉爽，因此完成除霜周期后会更快地冷却。

这insulation in the sides of the unit is 35mm in thickness. This is fairly heavy, just over an inch, and it’s sufficient to keep your food very cold with minimal effort. In MAX mode, the fridge will cool off exceptionally quickly. In fact, it will drop from 77 to 32 degrees in just over 15 minutes. You’ll be able to keep frozen foods at a safe temperature even if you turn on the fridge at the last minute. Not only that, but the BougeRV will drop all the way to -4 degrees in less than an hour. This is ideal for foods like meat and ice cream, which are best kept below zero.

这other setting is called ECO mode, and is designed for saving energy. In ECO mode, the BougeRV will draw only 45 watts. This is the more efficient way to run your refrigerator. However, it takes a long time to cool off in ECO mode. Ideally, you want to start the refrigerator in MAX mode, let it cool down, then switch to ECO mode. That way, you’ll get the best of both worlds; fast cooling, and energy-efficient long-term use.

这BougeRV refrigerator is also smart when it comes to your car’s battery. It has a three-level monitor that prevents it from running you completely dry. As the power drops below 12 volts, the fridge will start drawing less power. In an emergency, it will stop running altogether in order to protect your battery. Keep in mind that the fridge will eventually warm up in these circumstances. So while it can keep your food cold overnight, you’ll need to run your engine regularly during the day. Or you could just use a solar panel or power bank and avoid the issue entirely.

最终判决

这BougeRV 53 Quart Portable Car Freezer/Refrigeratoris the complete package. To begin with, it’s very spacious, with enough capacity to cool a week’s worth of food. It cools off quickly, it stays cold for a long time, and the temperature is adjustable. It’s even designed to save you energy. Our complaints were minor and mostly cosmetic. If you want a reliable portable refrigerator, whether for trucking, camping, or occasional use, this is an excellent choice.
