The BougeRV 12V 23 Quart Colorful Portable Fridge Chills or Freezes Down to -8°F in Mint Green, Pink or Purple
The BougeRV 12V 23 Quart Colorful Portable Fridge is BougeRV's CR22 compressor fridge in three colors. It holds 23 quarts (22 L, 0.78 cu ft) in one compartment and sets from -8°F to 50°F (-22°C to 10°C), so you can use it as a refrigerator or as a freezer. BougeRV shows it holding 32 cans of 350 ml cola, 20 bottles of 550 ml water, 9 bottles of 750 ml wine or 4 bottles of 2 L cola.
BougeRV sizes it for short trips of 1 to 3 people, so it suits road trips, camping weekends, errands and a spare spot at home. It measures 22.7 x 12.6 x 13.0 in, weighs 21.16 lb and has a carry handle at each end. Choose Mint Green, Pink or Purple, or pick Purple + 266Wh Battery to add BougeRV's 266Wh Battery.
BougeRV 12V 23 Quart Colorful Portable Fridge Features
Three Colors With the Same Performance
Mint Green, Pink and Purple share the same CR22 build, capacity, temperature range and power draw. Pick the color that suits your vehicle, campsite or kitchen, and the fridge inside is the same.
Compressor Cooling in About 15 Minutes
In MAX mode with an empty cabinet, the compressor cools from 77°F to 32°F in about 15 minutes and down to -4°F in about 50 minutes. There's no ice to buy and no meltwater to drain.
ECO and MAX Modes
ECO mode draws 36W and uses about 360 Wh per day, and MAX mode draws 45W for faster cooling and uses about 450 Wh per day. BougeRV based those figures on a 77°F room and an empty cabinet. Press the settings button to switch modes.
A Wide Temperature Range
Set anywhere from -8°F to 50°F. The manual suggests about 41°F for drinks, 37°F to 50°F for vegetables and 0°F for meat.
Three-Level Battery Protection
A battery monitor turns the compressor off when your supply voltage drops below the level you choose and restarts it 2 minutes after the voltage recovers. On 12V the cut-out points are 11.3V on High, 10.1V on Medium and 9.6V on Low.
Panel Lock and Power-Off Memory
The control panel locks after 1 minute without use. Hold the settings button for 3 seconds to unlock it before you change a setting. After a power cut, the fridge returns to its last settings on its own, and the manual rates its noise at 45 dB or less.
Real-World Applications
Road trips. Plug into your car's 12V socket and keep drinks and snacks cold on the drive.
Camping weekends. Freeze or chill food at camp and run the fridge from a power station or the Purple + 266Wh Battery option.
Van life. The compact 22.7 x 12.6 x 13.0 in body fits small spaces in a van or camper.
Errands and groceries. Keep frozen and cold items in your trunk on a long shopping run.
Extra space at home. Use the AC adapter to run it as a spare fridge or freezer indoors.
Practical Comparison
23 Quart Colorful Fridge Versus an Ice Cooler
An ice cooler needs fresh ice and leaves food sitting in meltwater. This compressor fridge holds the temperature you set, freezes as well as chills, and keeps food dry.
Color Options Versus Purple + 266Wh Battery
Mint Green, Pink and Purple are the fridge alone, running on 12V or 24V DC or AC power. Purple + 266Wh Battery pairs the purple fridge with BougeRV's 266Wh Battery so you have a power source with you when the fridge is away from your vehicle or an outlet.
Compact 23 Quart Fridge Versus a Larger Fridge
A larger fridge holds more but takes more room and is heavier to carry. At 21.16 lb with a handle on each end, this one lifts into a back seat or trunk for short trips.
Buyer Guidance
Power Sources
The fridge runs on 12V or 24V DC from a car, truck or power station, and on AC power from a home outlet or a power station's AC outlet using the included 100-240V adapter. For solar, BougeRV shows a solar panel charging a power station that then runs the fridge.
Placement and Battery Settings
Let the fridge sit flat for 12 hours before the first power-up, keep it level while it runs, and leave at least 7.9 in behind it and 3.9 in at the sides for ventilation. Battery protection ships set to High, which BougeRV recommends on a vehicle starter battery. Turn the fridge off when you turn off your engine so it doesn't drain your car's battery.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- You want a fridge freezer in a color other than black
- You take short trips for 1 to 3 people
- You want a 21 lb fridge with a handle on each end
- You'd like a fridge and battery package in purple
Common Questions
Does It Come With a Battery?
Only with Purple + 266Wh Battery. The Mint Green, Pink and Purple options are the fridge without a battery.
Do the Three Colors Perform the Same?
Yes. All three are the same 23 quart CR22 fridge with the same temperature range, power draw and size.
Can I Make Ice in It?
Yes. Set it below 32°F and use ice cube trays.
Is It Normal to See Condensation Outside?
Yes. When humidity is above 75%, slight condensation can form on the cabinet. It's a normal effect of cooling.
What Warranty Does It Have?
BougeRV covers this fridge with a 2 year warranty.
