Compressor fridges for cars, trucks and RVs · review
A 42 qt fridge in light EPP foam, 17.9 lb, about half the weight of a steel-cased fridge this size, for $179.90. It runs on 12/24 V DC.
VEVOR’s FE40 holds 42.3 qt in an EPP foam body and weighs 17.9 lb, about 0.42 lb per quart. The 52 qt EUHOMY weighs 35.7 lb, about 0.69 lb per quart.
Two ranges: freezing from 14 to 32 °F and refrigeration from 32 to 50 °F, with a cool-down from 68 to 32 °F in 18 minutes. It does not reach the -4 °F of the EUHOMYs.
The listing names 12/24 V DC, with no AC adapter.
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.

A remarkably light 42 qt fridge. It does not freeze deeply and needs DC power.
Same category, nearby prices, between portable power units. What remains is the specifications every one publishes — half empty, a column is no use.
