Test of auto-refrigerators Dometic

Agree, it is familiar, when in the summer a cold bottle of water quickly turns into boiling water? And how many problems appear with the desire to go on a picnic, because you need to choose foods that will not spoil on the road. And what can I say about long trips?

Of course, when new electronics appear daily, manufacturers could not ignore this problem. The solution is auto-refrigerators.

Types of auto-refrigerators

Conditionally, such devices are divided into the following categories:

Thermoelectric. This is the most budgetary model, which is no longer designed for cooling, but for maintaining temperature. Suitable for daily, short-term trips.
Compressor. By its design are analogues to household models. However, they are adapted for travel in the car and consume less electricity. Advantage - can maintain the necessary temperature, regardless of the environment.
Absorptive. These are models of the premium segment, which are often bought by professional hunters or those who go on long trips. Their main advantage is that they are not dependent on the availability of electricity and can operate on gas.

For the test, we took auto-refrigerators only the first two types, since the latter type is practically not popular among the mass audience because of its high price.

Compressor fridge Dometic CoolFreeze CDF 46

This model can do even more than some stationary devices. Dimensions: 47.5x34x56 cm. The dimensions do not impress the compactness: it occupies the entire passenger seat. If you go on a trip by a large company, then there may be a problem of free space. Therefore, the auto-refrigerator is ideal for the owners of beads and other more capacious machines.

The device is equipped with a small display, where the internal temperature is displayed. Also you can set the necessary mode for work, which is adjusted manually. The parameter can be set from -15 to +10 degrees. The internal temperature does not depend on the environmental conditions. Inside, the specified parameter will be stably maintained.

By the way, a good option for owners of suburban areas, since there is a special adapter for connection to the outlet.

The volume of the refrigerator is about 40 liters. Inside there is a special zone, separated by a shelf, where the products will not freeze into ice. The device allows you to comfortably place all the necessary products. The design provides a place for a glass and even a small table: you can comfortably snack even on the road.

If you drop all the comments on impressive sizes, the disadvantage is only in the price, which even scares your numbers. Therefore, buying a Waeco CoolFreeze CDF 46 auto refrigerator is better for those who constantly travel or do not have a stationary refrigerator on a suburban area.

For transfer, the manufacturer did not even provide convenient handles. And this despite the fact that the design weighs 20 kg.

Isothermal container Dometic Cool-Ice WCI 13

This model is more affordable, but in fact it is hardly a refrigerator. It is a design that can keep heat inside. Works on the principle of "Dewar vessel". To operate the device does not need power.

A practical option for daily use. For example, to bring lunch or have a couple of bottles of cold water left in the reserve when the heat outside the window. If you use several cold accumulators, you can get the temperature inside the refrigerator 15 degrees lower than outside.

Take into account that every time you open the lid, air exchange takes place and the internal temperature rises. For example, if you constantly open the refrigerator, then by evening the water in the bottle will be relatively cold.
