Compressor fridges for cars, trucks and RVs · review
A 10 qt compressor fridge that freezes to -4 °F, runs tilted up to 45° and states its inside size, 9.61 × 8.23 × 7.13 in, for $111.99.
Alpicool’s CL9 is a 10 qt compressor fridge, and the listing opens with a clear size notice: 9.61 × 8.23 × 7.13 in inside, 9.23 L. It cools down to -4 °F with a DC inverter compressor and a MAX mode.
It runs on 12 or 24 V DC or 100–240 V AC, and keeps working tilted up to 45°.
Like every compressor fridge on this shelf, it has a three-level battery protection setting that switches it off before it drains the vehicle’s starting battery. Pick the highest level when it runs from the starter battery, and the lowest when it runs from a separate house battery or a power station.
ALPICOOL DIRECT listed it at $111.99 on November 2, 2026.
