The ICECO VL45 47QT Single Zone Portable Freezer Gives You 47 Quarts of Fridge or Freezer Space With No Ice to Buy
The ICECO VL45 is a single zone fridge freezer with a SECOP compressor, a metal cabinet and a 47-quart capacity. Set it anywhere from 0°F to 50°F and the whole space works as a freezer or a fridge, so you can leave the ice and the meltwater behind.
It runs on 12/24V DC in your vehicle or 110-120V AC at home, and both cables come in the box. It suits campers, road trippers and overlanders, and anyone who wants a dependable 12V freezer in a car, truck, van, RV or boat.
ICECO VL45 47QT Single Zone Portable Freezer Features
SECOP Compressor Cooling From 0°F to 50°F
The VL45 holds any set temperature from 0°F to 50°F (-18°C to +10°C). With one zone, the full interior runs at that setting, so you decide on each trip whether it's a freezer for meat and ice cream or a fridge for drinks and produce.
MAX and MIN Compressor Speed
MAX runs the compressor faster for a quick cool-down. MIN, ICECO's ECO setting, slows the compressor to run more efficiently once your food is cold. ICECO's laboratory figure for the VL45 is 0.348 kWh per 24 hours, and actual use depends on your conditions.
Three-Level Battery Protection
On DC power, choose LOW, MID or HIGH protection. On a 12V battery, the fridge shuts off at 9.6V, 10.4V or 11.1V and restarts at 10.9V, 11.7V or 12.4V. That helps keep your vehicle's battery from running flat while the fridge is plugged in.
Car and Home Power
Use the DC cigarette lighter plug cable on 12V or 24V, or the AC wall outlet cable at home. The included AC cable is for 100-125V outlets; using the VL45 on 200-240V needs a different AC cable. A 15A fuse protects the supply line.
Metal Cabinet With Thick C-Pentane Insulation
The metal cabinet surrounds a thick C-pentane insulation layer that helps hold the cold and save energy. ICECO refrigerators are built to run in ambient temperatures up to 131°F (55°C), and the VL45 carries ETL certification.
Spring-Loaded Handles, Tight Lock Latches and Corner Protection
Stainless steel ring pull handles spring back out of the way after you carry the fridge. The tight lock latches press the lid against its seal to improve insulation, and the corner caps reinforce the cabinet against knocks on rough roads.
Two Removable Baskets
Two wire baskets keep small items organized and lift out when you need to load, unload or clean the interior.
Real-World Applications
Camping and overlanding. Run it as a 0°F freezer for a long weekend or as a fridge for a week of fresh food, with no ice to buy along the way.
Road trips. Plug into your vehicle's 12V socket with the included DC cable and set battery protection to suit your battery.
Home and garage. Use the AC cable to run the VL45 as an overflow fridge or freezer for holidays, parties or bulk shopping.
Boats, vans and RVs. ICECO lists cars, trucks, RVs, vans, boats, SUVs and overlanding rigs among the places this fridge is meant to work.
How It Compares to Common Alternatives
Versus ice coolers. The VL45 holds a set temperature with no ice to buy, drain or replace, and your food stays dry. It does need a 12/24V DC or AC power source.
Versus thermoelectric coolers. The VL45 uses a SECOP compressor and a set temperature range that reaches 0°F, so it can work as a true freezer. If frozen storage matters to you, check that any cooler you compare can reach freezer temperatures.
Versus the ICECO VL60 Dual Zone. The VL60 holds 63 quarts in two zones, weighs 64 lbs and measures 31.2 x 19.5 x 18.9 inches. Choose the VL45 if one temperature zone and a smaller, lighter cabinet suit your trips.
Is This Portable Freezer the Right Fit
-
Power. It runs on 12/24V DC or 110-120V AC with the included cables. For 200-240V outlets you need a different AC cable.
-
Size. It measures 27.4 x 15.8 x 19.2 inches, so measure your cargo area first.
-
Weight. It weighs 50.6 lbs empty, with a handle on each end.
-
One zone. The whole interior runs at one temperature, either fridge or freezer.
-
Weather. It can run in light rain with the vents kept clear, but don't expose it to moderate or heavy rain.
This may be a good fit if
- You want 47 quarts of fridge or freezer space
- You move between vehicle and home power
- You want protection for your vehicle's battery
- You prefer a metal cabinet with locking latches
Common Questions
Can the VL45 Be Used as a Freezer?
Yes. The VL45 is a single zone fridge freezer, so you can run it as a portable freezer or a portable fridge anywhere from 0°F to 50°F.
How Much Power Does It Use?
ICECO's laboratory figure is 0.348 kWh per 24 hours. Your actual consumption depends on the outside temperature, your set temperature and how often you open the lid.
What Should I Do If It Arrives Upside Down?
Leave the fridge upright for 24 hours before you power it on. That lets the compressor lubricant settle back into place.
Can I Switch Between Fahrenheit and Celsius?
Yes. With the fridge on, press and hold the SET and down buttons to switch between °C and °F.
What Warranty Does It Have?
The VL45 has a 5-year warranty on the compressor and a 1-year warranty on all other parts and accessories.
