ICECO APL20 21QT Light Duty Aluminum Freezer Single Zone

The ICECO APL20 21QT Light Duty Aluminum Freezer Single Zone Weighs 22.9 lb and Runs at 32 dB or Less

The ICECO APL20 is a 21 quart (20 liter) single zone portable fridge freezer in an aluminum shell. A SECOP compressor cools it anywhere from -4°F to 68°F, so it can work as a fridge or a freezer, and the whole unit weighs 22.9 lb.

It's built for car camping, road trips and overlanding, when you want real refrigeration without giving up much space or carrying a heavy box. It runs on 12/24V DC from your vehicle or 100-240V AC with the included adapter, connects to the ICECO app over Bluetooth, and comes in Black or Silver.

ICECO APL20 21QT Light Duty Aluminum Freezer Single Zone Features

22.9 lb Aluminum Shell

The aluminum body keeps the APL20 light enough to lift easily by its spring-loaded handle. Tight lock latches keep the lid sealed, and corner protection guards the edges against bumps.

SECOP Nano Compressor

ICECO pairs the APL20 with a SECOP Nano compressor. In ICECO's lab test, an empty APL20 in MAX mode cooled from 77°F to 32°F in 11 minutes. Real results depend on the ambient temperature and what you put inside.

Quiet MAX and ECO Modes

In MAX mode the APL20 cools fast at 32 dB or less, and in ECO mode it saves energy at under 30 dB. ICECO lists 0.293 kWh per 24 hours in laboratory testing, which matters when you run it from a vehicle battery.

Bluetooth App Control

The ICECO app for iOS and Android connects over Bluetooth for remote temperature control and performance monitoring. Turn on Bluetooth, tap Add Devices, and the app finds your fridge.

Soft Close Lid

The lid holds open in any position, so it stays put while you reach in with both hands and closes gently when you're done.

Thick Insulation

C-pentane insulation fills the walls, and ICECO shows a 1.8 in insulation layer with vacuum insulation panels for better insulation and energy savings.

Triple Battery Protection

Choose High, Medium or Low protection. On 12V the compressor shuts off at 11.1, 10.4 or 9.6 volts, and on 24V at 24.3, 22.8 or 21.3 volts, to help prevent over-discharge and battery depletion.

Real-World Applications

Car camping. The compact 25.0 x 14.9 x 11.6 in footprint leaves more room for the rest of your gear.

Road trips. Keep drinks and snacks cold on 12V DC and check the temperature from your phone.

Overlanding. Use it as a dedicated freezer or a compact fridge, with battery protection watching your vehicle battery.

Day trips. ICECO rates it to hold 32 cans of 355 ml, 17 bottles of 550 ml or 8 bottles of 750 ml.

How It Compares to Common Alternatives

Versus the ICECO APL35. The APL35 holds 37 quarts in two separately controlled compartments and weighs 32.0 lb. Choose the APL20 if one temperature zone is enough and you want the lighter carry.

Versus an ice cooler. There is no ice to buy or water to drain, and the APL20 can freeze food as well as chill it. The trade-off is that it needs a DC or AC power source.

Is This Portable Freezer the Right Fit

• Power source. Use 12/24V DC with the included cable or 100-240V AC with the included adapter. A 15A fuse protects the supply line.
• One temperature zone. The APL20 cools to a single set temperature, and its smaller 4 L area runs warmer than the main 16 L area.
• Size and weight. It measures 25.0 x 14.9 x 11.6 in and weighs 22.9 lb empty.
• Weather. ICECO fridges run in ambient temperatures up to 131°F and in light rain with the vents clear. Keep it out of moderate or heavy rain.

This may be a good fit if

• You want a fridge that's easy to carry
• You need one zone, as a fridge or a freezer
• You want low noise in a vehicle or tent
• You like Bluetooth app control

Common Questions

Why Is the Small 4 L Area Warmer Than My Setting?

The compressor controls temperature from the main 16 L area. In ICECO's lab data, the 4 L area runs about 9°F warmer than the main area, so it can read differently from your set temperature.

Can the Magnetic Power Bank Attach to the APL20?

Not directly. The APL20 is aluminum, so ICECO says the magnetic battery attaches to the fridge by using a magnetic panel. The Magnetic Power Bank is sold separately.

How Do I Change Modes and Settings?

With the fridge on, hold the plus and minus buttons together to open the advanced menu, then tap the power button to move between mode, battery protection and °C or °F. Settings save after 3 seconds.

What If the Fridge Arrives Upside Down?

Stand it upright for 24 hours before you turn it on so the compressor lubricant can settle.

What Warranty Does It Have?

ICECO covers the APL20 with a 5-year warranty on the compressor and a 1-year warranty on all other parts and accessories.
