DETAILED REVIEW: BougeRV E35 Dual-Zone Portable Fridge/Freezer 12V/24V 

i love mine. i keep it in my jeep and its always on, the only problem i had was when running it off the battery when my jeep wasn't running the fridge wouldn't keep the temp i had it set at because it was shutting off, but with my jeep running it was fine. at first it appeared that the app was causing my problem but i figured out that i had my battery setting set wrong, it was set to high so i changed it to medium and all is good.

I bought the 37 quart with wheels. It was received damaged. The extended handle was completely broken off. It also had scratch marks on it as if it was used. I paid for a new one , not refurbished. The packaging is very poor for a fridge that weighs 40+ pounds. The fridge never got below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. After several emails (1 month) later they agreed to give me a replacement They paid for the shipping back. WOW ! My time was more valuable.They do answer your emails, expect a 24 hour reply I am still waiting for the new one to come. Buyer beware !!!! The Fridge itself looks nice & would be a great fit if it only does what they say it will.

I appreciate the review. Especially the power usage section of the video. If I end up ordering this model I will be plugging into my Ecoflow Delta 2. So pretty good run time even without using solar panels. Thanks 👍

Totally nailed this review! Clear and super informative. Thank you for your efforts and time! Helped me out on deciding which duel zone works for me. This one for sure! 👌 -Reed P.

Excellent review. Hope to see more products from BougeRV that you have reviewed.

Superb review! Always excellent reviews!

Looks like a great unit. Great review.

Very good and interesting video. Thank!

Nice review :) one of these 12V fridges is probably gonna be my next purchase as we gear up our camping supplies for longer term stays on our off grid land. Trying to decide between this size or one of the larger ones. I think it would be a pain to have it constantly tethered to my power station, which I need to mover around, so maybe the battery plus its own 100w panel is the optimal solution, especially in places where sun isn’t particularly limiting.

Happy to have found your channel. I worked in politics for a while so have lots of campaign signs laying around. I cut them, in this case would invert the baskets for a pattern, and place them where you thought you were gonna put the bacon and atop sodas as well. They're great if your frig or ice chest is in the back of the pickup to thermal break the heat from the pavement and tape together to increase R-value. You can use good quality styrofoam as well but avoiding white stuff so you don't have beads everywhere. I extended the life of a block of ice to 6 days without a trip an hour away to the store. That translates directly to time on the water fly fishing, if you know what I mean. So, re : a DC fridge can benefit somewhat from additional insulation similar to what I have described as well. Great video, nice job all around.

Awesome review!!! Thank you. I’m curious if u got reading for current draw as the compressor kicks on. I’m wondering if I can run this fridge on a small inverter, say a 400W inverter.

I have the 48 quart version of this with wheels and telescoping handling and that served me really well on a 9 day road trip and a weekend camping. With my EcoFlow River Pro, it lasts for about 1.5 days with one side at 20F and other side at 33F. Right now this is working as a freezer in my garage. Btw, there are several Chinese clone of this and you can get any. All uses the exactly same apps and same look, features, and settings... all the way to the solar interface and battery option. I got the one by VEVOR.

how did you plug the solar panel in? What kind of plug is that?

Did you check for sound of the compressor? WE have a 8.1 Quick Silver tent camper and wondering about the sound. It seems as this refrigerator gets larger, people complain it is loud. Thank you for your help. I like the Pro 35 you reviewed, but this one would give a little more room for a 4 day trip.

Hello! Thanks for the review! Were your power consumption figures based on ECO or MAX mode?

Will you be giving us a update of how the add on battery performs at a later date?

Excellant

Ive had mine for one year and use twice and it wont turn on. Can you tell me whwre the fuse is?

Amazon has it on 2023 Black Friday deal for only $251.

1 year in, do you still use it, or was that just a review model? If you do still use it, is it still doing well? Any new learnings about it? Thx for all the great videos!

Great review. I hope that they change the chemical make up of the new battery. I have watched another reviewer where the battery caught on fire.

I just found this video and this looks like what we've been looking for. I love that it will have a battery soon! But the coupon just expired. Do you think you could get them to extend the coupon for a few more days?

Oh! Also! You never did get to the physical dimensions. I also do not see them listed on the BougeRV website. Can you provide the W x L (minus the outer handles) x H? Thanks so much!

Does it use a standard plug to power it?

This company really chose a great name. Bouge basically means snooty arsehole, someone who is bougey is one who sets themselves apart from others by overtly displaying opulence. Smart name choice.

Too expensive for this small unit without battery…even with the discount

Sorry looks like junk. If they put out a product that needs a battery for solar and it is not available, well shame on them. I like my IceCo yes it does not offer an on board battery but I knew that. I use my iceco in the tent with a Jackery 2000Pro and can run it for a full 7 days with no issues. 1 side cooler 1 side freezer at 0 d f.
