I really like how you guys talk about one thing and have smaller videos showing it in detail. Also how you unbox and already start sharing info about the product. As an idea, you could have used some of the time (from 4:00 to 5:00) to fill the fridge with the 33 cans while you were talking about other stuff.
But that is just a detail. You guys already have all the structure to be a great channel. Subscribed :)
Thank you Pandraus, for both the feedback and subscribing, really appreciate it
I have over 89 ryobi tools but they are starting to get so high in price it’s ridiculous. Anyone here seen there $8,000 battery 54” zero turn mower. You can buy a entry level commercial gas mower for $6,000 and the engine will last longer than the deep cycle batteries. Ryobi needs to get back to what got them famous, good tools at a decent price.
The price is ridiculous I love their reasonable and affordable price otherwise would never buy these expensive gadgets .
Same fridge is $399 at Jaycar in a Brass Monkey variant and Jaycar sells adaptors to suit your competitors. I have had this exact fridge for over 12 months. Recognised the design instantly lol
and brass monkey is 1/2 the ryobi price
Oh this is the same as Brass monkey is it? Just with different battery design I guess..
@@micktaylorwolfcreekmechanical link please?
link please
I think it's a great idea, but not quite there. Needed to be sold as a skin only to lower price, most of us have plenty of batteries and chargers. Also disappointing that it won't charge batteries when connected to mains or 12v.
They sell it as a skin only.
Glad come across your YT channel as recently I brought 4.0ah trimmer which my bad starting 2stoke trimmer, no more mix fuel n worst of all the noise. For Xmas I brought cordless drill driver skin plus bit set, only thing I wish Ryobi would add extra is 10mm drill piece but run time on 4.0ah has good for tools.
Hey Jamie
Thanks for visiting our channel
It was an easy choice for us to switch from petrol to battery for those reasons as well.
The drill/driver comes in handy all the time for us too
Have a great day
I agree with luke burns...not $700, but I DO like my Ryobi products.
Good review.
Ryobi used to have an ice chest/cooler up here in the States. They discontinued the product after one year. It was different from this one, and I wonder when or if we'll see this one up here.
That old one acted as a swamp cooler for your surrounding area this one refrigerates the inside
I've received the promotional ad from Ryobi here in the states, ( email ad was last week Jan )...Coming SOON !!
Don't remember the price but it's way too high.
Since it can plug into both wall and 12V outlets, it should be possible to re-charge the batteries while supplied with power from the outlet - at least at that price!
You would think so but unfortunately it doesn’t charge the batteries
For the van life people I think it's perfect
I haven't seen that product yet I'm in the United States but that price is absolutely ridiculous shame on you Ryobi thanks for the video
Does it show estimated runtime on the display? A Bluetooth module/app would be great to be able to monitor battery and temp etc. Also can you plug into 12v car socket to charge batteries/cool fridge while driving? If those features not present, I'd be waiting for the next gen model, but Ryobi will have to sell these units first before that happens!
Doesn’t show estimated runtime. Only the battery bars left
Does also come with the 240v and 12v cables as well
Wow❤ im in love Ryobi girl, she's wearing pink shorts. I love it. Sweetie use the table behind you. ❤just a thought. Great product.
Can you charge the batteries while they are in the fridge? If yes, is it a 240 v charge or is there an anderson connection to a regulator and solar panel for charging. Is there a cigarette connection for charging in the car while travelling. If not! It's useless! Why would you need a bottle opener if it's selling point is the number of cans it holds?
the joke of the 33rd can earned a like from me 🤣
hey guys great video I've just bought it but carn't see how to change the battery safety mode . how is this done ?
The price is ridiculous. Now that's just stupid. I can get a very useful generator for that price. Staying with ice. How dare you Ryobi.
I agree wouldn't even considering purchasing at that price 🤑
$799 at Bunnings yesterday. 😂
That’s Australian dollars. .67 usd.
≈ $529.00 USD
Yep ! All that yellow dye must be super pricey huh ?
Nice video guys. I would love to buy this fridge but not for $700 I don't need more batteries or a charger and to much-wasted space. But I do love ryobi. And it's nice to see Australia get something first the usa normally gets all the good stuff first
Thanks Luke
It’s not very often us Aussies get something before USA but it’s exciting when we do
Just buy the one without batteries the it's your choice which one you get.
Love it guys,will be getting one I think it’s fantastic for picnics…
I saw the price at Bunnings and I just kept walking.
I will wait for the 40 volt version to come out.
I agree, I’m aware that 18v won’t have enough power to make it an effective cooler. If I ever get the funds to get one, i will try it out in Arizona temps. Its dry hot ambient with digits reaching +100 degrees F
Do they sell this without batteries and charger? This should really recharge the batteries from the cigarette lighter in the car instead of having the separate charger
They Don’t sell it as a tool only (Yet)
And I 100% agree about it charging the batteries with either the 12v or 240v chargers
I was like "Wait, when did Ryobi...", then you all opened your mouth, and I realized this was yet another thing Australia got that we didn't (I'm in the US).
The US have them now at home depot 😁
@@ryobitized hmmm… must never be in stock then. Good to know.
Does having it connected to 12v charge the batteries also?
I like it, but not the price. I’m curious if it will be in Home Depot here in the states in the future?🤔
I'm sure it will be cheaper then you think in the US. We always pay more for products in Australia.
Doubtful. The product is a rebranded/reworked version of a cooler model from an Australian company (Brass Monkey) which doesn't sell products in North America I don't believe. The air-circulating P3370 is probably as good as you're gonna see for now which isn't much consolation since that's a cooler not a real fridge like this. **EDIT** Have to take that back. Apparently it *is* coming to the US market with MSRP of $499 USD however it doesn't come with any batteries I don't think (tool only).
Im goung to guess things are much more expensive in Australia. Here in the U.S. that price is crazy. Good review though.
It’s a great idea but man that’s an expensive piece of kit. I just bought a kings 20l for $200 and am about to spend $75 to be able to make something up to run off my 18v ozito batteries. Fair enough it comes with 2X 4ah batteries and they ain’t cheap, but $800 that can do the same as a $20 esky and a $5 bag of ice is crazy.
We have a similar fridge called the brass monkey which has a three year warranty what is given on this particular model fridge from Ryobi ?
On this fridge we get a 6 year warranty 😁
I can see why it's like 800 AUD but my soul still dies
Great review, good to see someone able to review this thing! One thing I'd love to know... does it recharge batteries when it is plugged into the wall or 12v? It would be great if you could plug this in and then if the power went out, know you have 20+ hours of emergency back up power.
Hey Mark
Unfortunately it doesn’t charge the batteries while plugged into the mains outlet.
Would have been a nice feature and surely not that difficult to implement
Cheers
@@ryobitized Thanks! My guess would be cost, it is already pretty expensive compared to other portable freezers and Anker just launched a new one too!
@@ryobitized this is a pivotal downfall imo. I specifically purchased a hikoki (metabo) from japan that has this feature (one of the only ones I am aware of at the moment that does). It also has a 12v socket in it so I am able to insert a 100w USB-C car charger and charge my phone fast (has a slower USB-C built in)!
I have a question though, does the batteries charge while the fridge is running on 12-24 volt power while your driving?
Great question and we have actually tried this out
Unfortunately not, we have found that the fridge will always favor the batteries before an external power supply
Great video and I subscribed. I know the price point seems a bit much, I thought the same, I’ve also looked at the brass monkey one at Jaycar, but they didn’t have the ryobi adapters. When you take into account they give you 2 batteries that are worth $199 a pair at Bunnings then the charger would make the fridge you know ballpark $500 maybe 🤷♂️ be nice to have a skin only one.
$700 hard pass ryobi dropped the ball there could of sold a heap at a competitive price point
$700 is not a competitive price for a portable battery compressor fridge with batteries? Who has a more competitive package?
@@Darndiddlyarn Has dropped in price to $599 now
@@snakesonn3590 ^^ At this point, it's 450 € in Europe. But it's without batteries or charger. So if you new to the Ryobi ecosystem, those batteries can make it even more expensive than this pack was.
Hmmm. It's an 18v battery but right out of the box and after dropping the temp down to 0, you mention the voltage is 20.3v? Is that total or per battery which would be interesting.
Hey There, It shows each batteries voltage and from what I understand an 18v battery can have up to 21v when fully charged.
You can set a minimum voltage on the fridge so you batteries never drop below a certain point
Hope this helps.
Max charge on Li-ion cells is generally 4.2 V per cell.
Banks of 5 cells (and the 4AH batteries have 2 banks of 5 cells in parallel) have a fully charged voltage of around 21V.
That's why Aldi call their tools 20V.... 'cause naturally the higher the voltage the better the product, hey....... at least from an advertising standpoint.
@@michaelsimpson9779 Hang on i just realized then that 36V system in Australia and 40V in the US is actually just the same product marketed differently.
question guys, can you have the 12v and batteries connected to the fridge so when you turn off your car it continues to run on battery power? thanks in advance!!
Hey Sean, yes it does. BUT.. when you turn your car back on- it won’t switch your 12v automatically
Thanks
This item coming to the USA ??? I would be great to have during these hot Texas summers
It's coming to USA this year, $499 MSRP, tool only (no batteries included).
Great work
Thanks Lazy awesome dad
Do the batteries change up when plugged into 12 or 240 volts??
Hey Anthony
Unfortunately not, it would have been a really great feature but we tried it over night with flat batteries plugged into the 240v and they were still flat in the morning
@@ryobitized Which means it is a no-go at that orice . if it were to re-change the batteries when supplied with power, it would have justified the price!
Didn’t even know Ryobi had a fridge…. Did you say it come with 12 volt cord
Yes it comes with a 12v power cable
Thank you good show.
I love Ryobi products but I'll still with my Dometic this time...If I need portability I can just use Ryobi's 150v power inverter to power my fridge.....A 9AH battery will power my Dometic 40l for 8-9 hrs easily as the fridge only draws 50watts when the compressor runs
Big fan id Ryobi but man thats expensive for a fridge, could buy a camping fridge and generator for that price. Love the design and versatility though, the price point just seems out of reach based on other brands and options.
Wish we could get it in the USA
Anyone experiencing the door warping and not closing securely after 12 months? It’s not damaged and placed under cover away from any direct sunlight
Thats a lot of money for that cooler and two batteries that is not good they should make that you can attach to your truck 12v or 110v as a handyman thats what I’m looking for a cooler to put in your pick-up truck.
It does come with a 12v/24v adapter
And also a 240v adapter
What are the internal dimensions of the esky?
I was going to ask if and where this is available in the UK, but if the UK price is in line with the US price of $700 I'll pass and buy a Milwaukee coolbox, I'm sorry Ryobi you have definitely dropped the ball on this item it could have been a huge seller at the right price
$700 (actually $799) is not a US price, it's not sold in the US but is coming, at a price of $499 USD with no batteries. This is an Australian review. Milwaukee doesn't have a powered, compressor cooler in North America either I don't believe, though one may exist in the UK if that's what you mean...
Who else makes a battery compressor fridge complete with battery for less than 700 aussie buckaroos?
Why is there no charging input? Engel , ARB , Dometic and even Iceco are far ahead of this ryobi refrigerator. I have the 150 watt ryobi inverter and tested it on my iceco. Those 9 ah batteries will last 6 hours at the most depending on the ambient temperature of course. This ryobi refrigerator needs another power source. Ecoflow, Bluetti even cheaper brands are a far better choice for powering these fridges instead of the limitations of these 18v ryobi batteries.
You charge of 12V or even 240 volt, its on the ryobi website
Hey There
It does come with a 12/24v charger and also a 240v charger for home
I have the footage but we forgot to add it to the video
How can I buy 1
owwww ahhhhhh
Those cans figures for them Chinese coolers are for shorter 330ml cans found in the EU/asia lol, I guess Ryobi just took the manufacturer words for it Edit: oh the picture shows 375ml lol
Yeah
That's a big box that's what he said 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Crazy
At that price, it should be 40V with two 7.5Ah 40V instead of the 18V batteries.
The runtime would be much better with 2 of those batteries for sure
Well...... the price is considerably high and I have some Ryobi tools 🔧 🤦♂️
I bought a 25 l fridge on amazon for $112
$800?
That is a stupid price - it’s why I luv ozito - sure ozito is not a category leader so usually have to wait longer for ozito to launch products like these.
2nd point - my wife would kill me if I paid $800 to keep my beer cold 😂
Huge exterior dimensions for such a tiny cooling compartment. Errrm… no thanks.
$400 MAYBE. That's crazy pricing.
a hybrid would have been better
Or just use a ryobi power supply.
They could've made it as charger when plugged in... very annoying have to take off batteries put them in a charger and put them in the fridge... even though the fridge itself has ac plug... what a disappointing.
Totally agree
Wish it had that feature also
The background music is very distracting.
Hey. Yeah we know. It’s our first video and still new at editing and UA-cam. Thanks for your feedback. We know for next time :)
So they copied from the Worx brand worx cooler is 200 cheaper and does the same thing
Ohhhf, maybe sort out your audio channels guys. Left and right all mixed up. Simple stuff.
Thanks Matt, it was our first video and we can’t edit the video after it’s been uploaded.
We have fixed the issue with our new videos
Thank you
No way
$800 Aussie is about $560 USD.
Thanks and around £460 in GBP 😊👍
i could buy more tools for that amount of money
Just a brass monkey in ryobi colors and double the price. Too small for serious use and lousy insulation drains battery
Only if it was a compressor fridge
Hey Christopher
It does have a compressor
That is a brass monkey..
Only 400 bucks dearer..
No thanks ryobi
Where is the battery compartment on the brass monkey?
@@craigalexp im wanting to know where people are finding the brass monkeys for that cheap lol
Wow $800 no thanks
This Ryobi cooler is a copy of Worx cooler that has been out for six months or more plus the Works is better and cheaper come on Ryobi stop copying over brands worx had this first sorry.
Is this video sponsored? At the minimum it seems you guys get the fridge for free from ryobi. You really should disclose this if you want any objective credibility. The wheels are definitely not "thick and sturdy" undeserved compliments like make me think sponsored for sure.
Hey Chris
Not sponsored at all, We bought this fridge for $799 like everyone else, The wheels are actually wider than the Brass Monkey version and they worked well for us at the Beach.
Thank you for your feedback
Type A USB in 2022? really….
I know right!
What would you actually use the type A USB for?
Surely you would have other means to charge a phone right
