ICECO VL60 PRO SERIES Review - Brand New Line of 12v Fridges! Best of ICECO Lineup?! 

Thanks to your awesome reviews, I have an Iceco in my garage and LOVE IT! Thanks for another great review.

I am glad I found your channel, an excellent fridge, I little out of my budget. And I enjoyed the shots of the canyon! Cheers Vancouver island Canada 🇨🇦

Just ordered my 75 pro, thanks for the discount and great review.

Big J. Just looked at your classic video. I love that Iceco 60qt. 12V. Fridge! I purchased a 42qt. Joytutus 12V. Fridge 3 yrs. that's not keeping the food and drinks cool anymore. The lowest temperature I'm getting nowadays is 41 degrees while it's running. And the compressor doesn't cycle on and off like before. When I can get the money, I want definitely try Iceco's 60qt. Fridge with that COOL REVERSIBLE DIRECTIONAL LID! And 5 yrs. Warranty on the compressor! I love your video. Everything was explained perfectly! Looking forward for more of your videos on 12 volt fridge and freezer. I love them much more than a regular fridge and freezer. For my solar powered off grid set-up.

From multiple and consistent reports on the Iceco facebook site (comments and reviews) and on neighboring channels here (Atwood and Wandering Beast) the Iceco products, especially the dual compartment versions seem to fail repeatedly when subjected to actual use in hot temperatures (95+ F). Also, their CS seems to straining and inconsistent; but there does appear to be some effort made on that front. There are always problems here and there, but repeated and consistent reports of a specific problem, that is not a good sign. While I'm really attracted to their products' potential, I don't think I can afford to be part of their beta testing. Oh well.

Excellent description of the Pro series. Especially appreciated the comparison!

Excellent video. I used your code to buy my VL60ProS and then again after I got the fridge to buy the cover. Very nice fridge.

Awesome. Thanks for this video.

Perfect timing, just ordered the 60. The height is just enough to get under my tonneau on the Tacoma and the improved design was an easy sell.

Great review as always!

Thanks my brother!

Dang! Just bought a VL45 a couple of weeks ago! Wish I had seen the pro model then. Love your reviews!

"Eco-mode" would be a fully insulated wrap to add to the test article with a direct feed from a solar panel to the item to provide a constant 'keep cool' feature and some type of "ruggedized fabric" to use the insulator as a protective feature as well.

Thanks for the video showing this particular model. I bought an Alpicool that I have to return because the fridge side doesn’t work and was freezing everything. I had decided to buy an Iceco VL60 model for $749 with dual zone and dual lids. Because of your video showing new upgrades and with your discount code I instead ordered the 75qt dual lid and saved $120 off the $1000. Whew! That’s quite a bit more than the $400 I paid Alpicool. But I heard the Danfos is the best. Seems the only thing lacking here is a longer handle and wheels. Let’s hope it doesn’t take forever to get here.

I bought the iceco vl 45 pro and received it two days ago. It’s a nice clean looking powered cooler. It has a quiet compressor. Unfortunately, the iceco team didn’t put much time into the seal on the lid. It is a great concept how it opens but it does very little at retaining the cold air and keeping the warm air out. The compressor rarely turns off, and when it does, it quickly turns back on within a min or so. I was hoping for a high quality refrigerator, freezer, cooler that would function as well as it looked and as described in product description. Unfortunately, they need to reengineer the seal so it actually seals because power consumption is triple any of their other coolers that are not in the vl pro series. I contacted customer support via phone and left multiple voice messages and did not receive a response. I contacted the customer service email and received a response only in the early am hours(2:30a.m.), and their sentence structure was as if they were not American English and were from another country. They market their product as being based in California(American Made) 🇺🇸 when in reality this does not appear to be the case. Their response acknowledged they are aware these coolers have a design flaw but offer no resolution and request us as the customer to be patient while they work on a solution. Why would they list this for sale on their website if they are aware they designed the lid with a flaw in the ability to seal in cold air. They are reluctant to pay for return shipping and I will not be a return customer of Iceco mainly due to their poor customer service. I hope everyone that is considering the ICECO VL pro series to read my comment and think twice before purchasing one of these until they solve this problem.

I did go with the VL 45, works awesome

Thank you for the comparison

I have the VL45, bought it a year ago. It has worked flawlessly for the past year bolted to the floor in my semi. I removed the front passenger seat, fits nicely. The only mod was to purchase the ARB 12 volt plug, as the ICECO plug would not stay put. And yes, I know I could hard wire it, but that ARB plug does the job. The unit has ran nonstop for over a year, and holds 38* without issue. I would recommend, and I would buy again. And I really like that new top, that would really come in handy in my rig due to the custom cabinet work I have in there which just blocks the lid from fully opening.

Thank you. Most helpful.

Just used your code to get me a VL45 was a very nice discount. thanks

Utah is in the top 5 for me, we go at least once a year for a week but prefer twice. Sxs, mountain bike, explore….I’m looking at the iceco coolers and was looking at the 75 but want to make the right choice! And advice would be much appreciated. I have a larger vehicle and there are two adults and we are looking at a week’s time more or less…. Have you driven Shafer Canyon Utah? We did part of the White Rim back in 2016 on KTM’s….

I was just educated. Well done sir!

Thanks a ton!

I love my VL45. I run the fridge off my Milwaukee M18 batteries when I boondock on the Big Island.

Excellent review. Do you own the pro and how’s the performance 2 years after? I noticed your power poles install inside your vehicle. Nice!

Draining… just cup out if you can with a container and use a large towel to sop up the rest, I do the same with my hot tub!

Jason, thanks for the time it takes to make these videos and the information shared. I'm just beginning to build out my van and I'm looking at what my options are. Are there any true fridge/freezer combos that are roughly 50/50? Freezers are often smaller in size... and for my needs that freezer section needs to be at least as large, if not larger, than the fridge. Thanks!

Hey Jason. Have you compared the gasket on the vlpro vs the original VL series? The gasket of the VLPro is a thin vs VL series has beefy rubber gaskets. I ask cuz I’m getting a lot of condensation and ice formation outside of the gasket. Also the lid has a lot of play when latched. Moves up down and left right.

I do a lot of offroading on our overlanding trips, to the point where the fridge I have now cannot handle a lot of bumps, angles, and rough terrain. How do you think this stacks up to something like a dometic?

I was sold at the ReVoMable basket 🙃

Whats the power conumption between the two? I have a vl45 and getting a vl45 pro, but the lid worries me, and the lack of insulating cover. Would the new lid seal as well as the regular VL? The VL45 seems to have more rubber there then what you showed in your pic, and when you clamp the latches down, it seems to really pull it down and seal it up nicely.

For your Power tests for 70 and 85 Deg You show 56 hours and 21 hours respectively. Were those runtimes the total time until the battery pack was exhausted? Also what was your 12volt battery source (brand/model)? I assume the battery was charged to 100% at test start?

When I click on the link for the 12% discount, it says “this page does not exist”. Any suggestions?

Best part is you actually put some fridge items inside. Gives us a perspective. Yet to find video with VL45

maybe I missed it, buy at what fridge Temp were you running it at to get those numbers? Thank you

Hello Jasonoid Great Video !!! I am just about to purchase a VL 65 to install in the back seat area of my truck. Can you tell me the length of the DC chord? Also can you recommend a 12Volt auxiliary port to install for the Iceco DC chord. All in all would you recommend the VL65 . Also one last question is Amzon a good choice for the Iceco purchase? Thank you and kept the video's coming

Thanks for the review, everything about this pro series is really well designed ! Can you tell me the thickness/width of the handles , I'm designing Sprinter cabinets and want to keep cooler at max 29 inches width, but would prefer to drawer mount vl60s rather than vl45s . Thanks

Heya! New sub ☘️

Can you strap the backside of the Pro series Fridge tight to a wall and still be able to open the door? The VL series and most others, you have to move the Fridge away from wall to open the door.

Which of the two has a stronger lid. I want to be able to stand on it as a casting platform for fishing!? From the appearance, it would be the standard model not the pro.

Hi have you tested the new VL Pro with. Jackery or Goal Zero yet? How long would a Jackery 1000 run that? Thanks

I’d I have a 5.0 ah 60V battery, how long would it run the fridge?

What is the vertical measurement of the basket. I have about 31" vert space and am concerned that the basket won't be removable. Thanks.

What should I set my fridge to? I get my vl60.

How much discount does the Jasonoid code get you?

Do you know the price of the vl45 pro

do you know what the in-rush current is when the compressor starts? I've been trying to find that, my other fridge has a pretty high in-rush current and was thinking about this but wanted to check.

Really struggling to pick between iceco vl60 pro and the setpower tc75. One is lighter larger and cheaper and dual zone if i want but the other looks better more likely too only use as a fridge maybe more efficient and longer warranty but also more expensive. I change my mind daily

Hey I saw your video and purchased the VL pro model … I’m used to tighter fitting lids I found the lid to be loose when it’s supposed to be closed it’s not a right fit … without unlocking their is play in the mechanism. You have tested other fridge what’s your thoughts on how the lid fits? I’m thinking of returning it… a loose lid has to comprise the efficiency do you think? Is it as efficient as the original model you recommend is the past?

Love Canyonlands! I am just about to pull the trigger on an Iceco and was going to get the 3 in 1, but now you have me second guessing the model I should get. I also don’t see this VL Pro on their website. Do you know the cost? Availability? Which model would you choose if they were the same size?

How would you compare this to the VL 60D?

Do you know the approximate price point of the pro series?

Do they both fit about the same amount of items ?

Will you be able to help Canadian to get your discount and shipping address.

Such an easy to remove lid.. I question how well it would sell bouncing in a vehicle...!!!

Very informative but most of you guys never include the price wich the second most important thing!

The vl has 2 baskets, the pro has 1 basket

Blue Tooth?

Who cares about handles, can the fridge freeze stuff?

These are getting to be like generators. A couple companies did all the research and built a reputation (Honda/Yamaha/etc) then China came along stole the design and mass produced them under a million different names and at a million different prices. Generator companies are doing the same crap we see with these fridges with “we have a so and so engine” like this compressor nonsense. It might have the same compressor but it’s not the same. It might be a fine product I don’t know because we don’t have decades of user experience to go on. We also see this with diesel fired heaters. Sure a Chinese one is cheaper, but in the long run you’ll end up buying a Webasto or Espar because it will last a decade or more. You really do get what you pay for whether it be a heater, a generator or a fridge and you’re supporting research and R&D vs ripping someone else off. Or communism. Or muslim genocide. Or human rights violations. All taking place in communist China. It’s funny today people worry about their carbon footprint and all this nonsense but don’t care where a product is made or what their money is supporting. I am sure North Korea could build things even cheaper. How many of you would buy one? Sadly I bet a lot of you would.
