The new E35 portable fridge/freezer (37QT Dual-zone) from BougeRV is a surprisingly feature-packed, value-priced and well-built option! If you're looking for something in the 37qt capacity range, this should DEFINITELY be on your short-list!

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! 👌

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.
Excellent review. Hope to see more products from BougeRV that you have reviewed.
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.
Superb review! Always excellent reviews!
I appreciate the kind words! Thank you so much!
Looks like a great unit. Great review.
Thanks 👍
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.
Yeah I do like that add-on battery option. I'd say figure out where you're going to keep it and then get one with the biggest dimensions that will fit within that space, since the power draw differential between as 37qt and a 50qt is really not all that great...and it IS nice to have extra space when you need it. I'm a little torn on the dual- vs single-zone. Personally, I find I often don't need to keep frozen items. But that's obviously going to vary from person to person.
Very good and interesting video. Thank!
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.
Cool hack! And an excellent repurposing of something that'd otherwise end up in a landfill!
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.
So if you have 200w of solar on the roof would top off the ecoflow during the day or you think more would be needed?
@@Raynor88 If you can top up 400w-500w, that should be enough. I used one side for freezer which was consuming more power btw. Running at a refrigerator temperature will consume less power.
So theres no difference if i buy euhomy and bougerv? They look exactly the same
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.
If your 400W inverter has a peak surge of 800W, should be completely fine.
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.
I did.this thing is actually Plenty quiet for me,and I consider myself a very light sleeper.
Excellant
Hello! Thanks for the review! Were your power consumption figures based on ECO or MAX mode?
Pretty sure it was in ECO mode. MAX is not significantly different, but will add a little consumption because it basically narrows the tolerance in the upper and lower temp range monitoring so the compressor will kick on a little more often than in ECO mode.
@@ReeWrayOutdoors Sweet! Thank you for the prompt reply.
Will you be giving us a update of how the add on battery performs at a later date?
That's the plan! :)
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.
Was a battery for a 12v fridge? I'd be interested seeing that video, if you have a link.
@@ReeWrayOutdoors yes it was for a 12v fridge. It was Jasoniod who showed the video
Just watched that. YIKES!! 😱Thanks for making me aware of that! I'd been thinking about not doing reviews on Lithium NMC-based products going forward and that video certainly helped me decide. LiFePO4 or solid state only, from here on out!
how did you plug the solar panel in? What kind of plug is that?
Amazon has it on 2023 Black Friday deal for only $251.
Ive had mine for one year and use twice and it wont turn on. Can you tell me whwre the fuse is?
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!
I've been keeping it my car pretty much continually over this past year for grocery trips...and frequently use it as an over-flow for the main fridge when necessary. Still running like a champ. Not had a single issue with it. Maybe the only additional insight I'd offer is that I rarely use the revmovable baskets because...at least in the car, with the baskets in place and nothing in the fridge (ie on the way to the store), the baskets rattle around in there constantly. It's not an issue once you have weight in there, but I found myself just leaving them out all the time to avoid the periodic rattle.
In your test, did you run it in full power mode or in eco mode?
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!
I just re-checked and seems I did actually include them :) ua-cam.com/video/BInRKz7gXaU/v-deo.html
@@ReeWrayOutdoors Oh no! I must admit... I was multi-tasking while watching the first bit so I must have missed it! 😅 Thank you for the timestamp! This fridge is literally a PERFECT fit! Will be ordering it this week! Any update on a new discount code? P.S. Thank you so much for your detailed review!
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?
I could ask, but I think my contact is on vacation/holiday all this next week. :-/
@@ReeWrayOutdoors can you plug it into a cigarette plug in our RV while we travel during the day to run it? And we can wait to see if you can get a new code! Thank you for all these great videos about the products. You make it so us newbies understand the products!!! We are checking into that power like the jackery.
Does it use a standard plug to power it?
It comes with an AC adapter so you can power it from a standard wall plug, or from a 12v car socket. So 2 ways to power it
@@ReeWrayOutdoorsthank you!
Too expensive for this small unit without battery…even with the discount
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.
True..but...there are also several alternative definitions of that word in the urban dictionaries..which are much more appropriate and charitable than the version you cited.
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.
The way you started your comment makes you sound like a snob.Most people watching this video know that IceCo is a superior unit,but this is budget friendly option.Did you just make this comment to brag about your IceCo?🤔
