I think it's crazy that I bought this when I saw that it could charge the battery while powering the fridge on solar!🤯 It wasn't until later that I found out about the ice maker.
I've had mine for a couple of weeks. Almost Couldn't be happier. I agree the fixed lid position is kind of a bummer. But the pros far outweigh the cons. It's Quiet, the wheels and handle are convenient, crazy efficient, app functionality is great, icemaker (yay), dual zone that works flawlessly, long warranty, great customer support (my original battery order did not arrive, so they expedited me the 2 batteries and had to me in less than 36 hours). Over the last 24 hours I left it in the back of my Jeep where it was at least 100° during day time hours, (92° outside during the day), on its own power and its just now dipping under 10% power (temp set to 35°f). I purchased an extra battery, so knowing I can go an entire weekend without power plugged in to it is great peace of mind.
The ice making feature is a game changer!
Do you know if the ice maker has improved? Reports showed thin and fragil cones, that left much to be desired.
Great review! I received my Glacier (with battery!) just today ... bought a "bundle": Glacier w/battery/handle & wheels, Wave2 w battery. Last year same time I bought DeltaMax2000 and Wave A/C. My goal is 2 (maybe 3-fold): house backup system(s), RV (Motorhome and/or no build van). I bought the frig as I am very happy with EcoFlow and wanted something that could hold spendy freezer items in case of summer power outage. I have a dorm sized freezer so was able to experiment with how much room I'd need for meat that would be tough to lose $$ wise. I am a 68 year old female person ... decent condition and good knowledge re lifting and leveraging, plus I am not a tiny person :). I was able to unbox the unit AND move it into my house prior to assembling handle and wheels. It fits in a basement bay of my motorhome so I don't have to get it up and inside the coach. It rolls up a "dog" ramp into my Jeep and if I ultimately get a van. The handles and size are not overly awkward for me but it is close to the weight limit of what I can handle on my own as far as lifting it. I don't have experience with operation yet, but per your video, it looks very straightforward. Thank you! ***Oh, my maybe 3rd purpose for the frig/freezer ... I live rurally in NW Montana and there have been times when I would like to shop in town and do other things ... this unit would allow me to do that without worrying about thawing food. *****Lastly ... I had 1 experience with customer service with my original order last year ... missing cord. Ecoflow sent a cord immediately, no ifs, ands or buts! And they followed up to make sure all was well after shipping it.
That is a massive unit for such a small fridge!
Its not just a fridge
That’s what she said
If you compare other comprable refrigerators most of them are bigger. It's shocking how they got this so compact with a battery and ice maker with that large of an interior compartment. Look up something that's pretty common in the market like alpicool.
It has a built-in battery too 😂
Great review! We had the chance to see it for ourselves recently and are impressed. Like you, we would just like to see some bigger capacity options. Having a true (and fast) ice maker is really cool. EcoFlow is innovating and leading the way!
Super great fridge definitely i’ll buy it! It’s different from competitor’s if you want something else theres plenty to choose. This ecoflow is perfect for me.
Hey Matt, I hope all is well? very nice fridge. Thank you for sharing 😊😊😊
Excited by this product!
I just purchased the Ecoflow Delta Max2, I can't wait to try it out.
Interesting fridge/freezer.
That is a really neat fridge. I would like to see a larger size but all in all I like the features it has. I will be taking a closer look at this one.
Cool fridge! Good review! I hope other companies start adapting a battery! And I wish they offered that with out the ice tray for maybe a cheaper price too.
It's nice but has a ways to go for my money. I think the Iceco APL55 is more efficient, more space, convertible dual zone, lid opens from width side, and has 5yr warrenty on the compressor.
Awesome review! I have an Ecoflow delta and river max can't wait to add a Glacier to the collection I only go away 3 or 4 days tops! So it should be perfect!
Took it camping and made ice all weekend. Plugged into solar. When the panels lose sun, remove the cable or the unit can error out and turn off also. It can't handle unstable solar and gets a low wattage error.
The battery option makes it a nice fridge!!
Agreed, I've got the fridge, and my biggest gripe is that you can't lock the buttons out. try lifting this into your rig without hitting that power button. Seemed like everytime I had to move it, I'd inadvertently turn the unit off.
This is so freaking cool!
So funny I was thinking the same thing about size. At least min of 45 litres. We love our IceCo 3-1. I remember when I first saw the ACO Power Cooler with the battery. So smart. Systems not relying onnother systems to operate.
Your right there are so many cool things coming out. DOMETIC, IceCo, ARB, Bluetti are falling behind with all EcoFlows innovations! Well thought out cooler.
Great real world review. Thank you!

That ice maker beats the Dometic for sure. The ice cubes in the video the other day were perfect. 38L is plenty for a couple over a few days camping but even better I think if road tripping.
Very helpfull video👍🏽👍🏽
This is awesome I'm going to buy it... Wouldn't mind buying an extra battery or two that would be huge.
It's also odd that no one mentions the fact and makes a big deal that it takes up to 240 watts of solar. No other internal battery fridge on the market does that! They all do a max of 100 watts
240 watts is enough to actually charge AND use it. Others don't really charge, they extend use. This one will be at 100% battery at the end of the day
Also, being 240w, on a cloudy day when your solar panels are producing much less, it's still powers through and charges
Again no other fridge on the market does that..
Not even ankers new fridge with a similar size battery! Anker for whatever idiotic reason also limited solar charge to 100 watts MAX
Great review thanks
watched a diff vid and they said 100w panel so now im confused. what does the manufacturer call out for? Thanks
I wish you could at least see in the app what the incoming and outgoing power flow is. As you mentioned it would be nice to know at what rate the battery is charging weather weather on 12 volt or solar so you would be able to approximate how long it would take to fully charge and plan accordingly
i will say the best in the world nice videos man thanks
Size matters, got it. I agree, it should be bigger.
Mine has been on, non stop, for over a month.. Running flawlessly on its own internal battery and solar panel... I've had the cheap solar/battery fridges and they SUCKED... This one absolutely kicks ass
Nothing else on the market even comes close.
How about the Anker? What is your take on it? thanks
@@Aonexia looks like a solid lower cost option. But still limited to 100w solar, for me that's a deal breaker
@@mobius012 Interesting.... 100 watt?
Thanks for your reply. Question: what is the minimum wattage in solar that I should be looking for in a standard 42-54 liter cooler for off grid camping?
I did not realize the solar array pushing 100 watts was not enough for the small on-board battery. Any recommendations for a two person cooler in this range?
@@Aonexia it all depends your intended usage..... Ambient temps, what temp you plan on setting it at and insulation. Most of the ones on the market have verry little or poor insulation. I can't speak to the anker one and anker usually makes a pretty good product
You also have to remember, a 100 watt solar panel won't actually produce 100 watts. And produces very little on a cloudy day
I wanted one I could set and forget. The ecoflow has great insulation and can use up to 240 watts. So as long as I leave my 4runnners windows cracked open so heat doesn't build up during the heat of the day and overheat the battery, it keeps on charging. At night the battery is plenty large enough to power through. I also live in az, where it gets pretty freaking hot.
I also love when you close the lid on the ecoflow you can hear it suck the lid shut and seal up.
Being able to use up to 240 W is great for cloudy days or tree shade when camping . Though it obviously gets no where near 240, it still gets enough to actually charge, even in shade
When I tried previous units that only accepted a max of 100 W, they would last maybe 2 days in real world use. That was in lower ambient and raising the fridge temp to 40°... Now I can pretty much use it however I want and never worry about it.
You have to remember they lab test all these things in perfect conditions and set at 39° to 41°
I've had mine set at 30° to keep everything very cold and it has worked wonderfully
Nothing like popping open a chilled water or soda on a hot day
I wish yeti made one of these. Yetis insulation mixed with a compressor cooler would be absolutely amazing!
Which brings me to my next point. When you use a standard ice cooler, it chills your drinks/food quickly. Because everything is sitting on/in ice. In a compressor fridge, the unit itself cools quickly but the contents take a while to catch up. So lf the unit dies and everything warms up, it takes a long while for everything to cool back down. So I wanted one that powered through and never shut off while off grid. No chance of food spoiled or warm drinks
@@mobius012 Wow! Thank you so very much for answering my questions. Ok, I reside in Florida and do alot of driving looking at land and properties for sale. I also camp for day's at a time alone in the bush!
I've never owned an electric cooler; as I've always owned a traditional ice cooler. I drive a Tundra and often would place my cooler in the back seat where I could get to my drinks while driving and freshening up at rest areas before arriving at camp.
Question: What brand would you recommend for my journey's?
Second: Do you have a freezer in your? If so... is it practical, or just a gimmick?
Third: I've purchased the AC500 by Bluetti. Can I use the battery "B300S alone" in my rig to power the fridge (Cooler) it's a 12 volt car charger input for the B300S?
Thank you for allowing me ask you these questions. I've never owned an electric cooler before and this is exciting! Cheers!
As I’m researching what fridge is best for me and my budget careful consideration of fridge controls and power configuration is an equally big deal to get right.
Does the phone app show the solar input amount?
If you have it connected to your vehicle 12v soclet. Could you have it run off the 12v car socket when driving, and then continue running it through the night on the fridges own battery? Would this way keep the fridges battery topped up for continuous use as i wouldn't have use for the solar. Also, would it always be connected to bluetooth on a smartphone so you could monitor the battery and change settings anytime you wanted? I apologise for all the questions.
Yes that works great. Yes its always connected with bluetooth.
Great presentation. I wasn't sure when he mentioned there was no screen choice to see input power from solar or, but on the App would it say input percentage ? Thanks to anyone answering this question.
Yes it does in the app
Great video. Looks like there might be an app for it of some of their models. The App might be able to read battery information.
Didn’t watch the video did you? I showed the app at the 15 min mark.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures Oh, apologies, thank you for pointing that our, I got up a couple of times and might not have heard you, or I wouldn't have posted anything about it.
I've got to tell you, I'm new to watching these videos and from what I've seen, you have one of the best channels on UA-cam.
I just have an old two wheel Drive Dodge Ram 2500 pickup with a long bed and want to set it up similarly to what I've seen you all do, just for the places I could go.
Thanks for what you and your wife and others do on these overland excursions and for sharing the videos with us. All the best, Dave
Is anyone running an American adventure lab slide with this?
Please respond.
How is your battery lasting so long. I have 2 of the built in battery (one was given as a replacement). Both batteries only last 12 hours for me at dual zone 1-3 degrees celsius on both sides. Ambient temperature at 23 degrees celsius room temperature. Is my unit faulty?
There’s so many variables that determine how long they last. How many times you open the lid, how much food and drinks is inside etc.
What is the fridge slide you have in the back of your gladiator in this video? Looking for a fridge slide compatible with the EcoFlow glacier
Its from Global Road Outdoors but they are out of business now. I think OVS has a similar one.
Lets say you you plug it into DC current while riding all day. Does it charge the batterie aswell as running the fridge?
I was trying to buy from iceco and for some reason can't get nothing in canada from them.. so really considering this unit if it saves me a power station
Yes it charges the battery too
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures thank you sir! Really appreciwte the response✌️
I have a question that is time sensitive. Is it normal for the display to show a graphic pattern that slowly disappears after turning on the unit or lightly touching the display?
Never seen that before
I have searched high and low to find comments on how much hot air these refrigerators exhaust into you living space. Can you tell me whether it is noticeable? Is it something that will have to be considered? Like venting it out? Thanks
Zero. Does your home refrigerator heat up your kitchen?
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures my kitchen is much bigger than my car and the central air in my house keeps the kitchen cool. When my car or truck isn't running my ac isn't running so I was concerned the exhaust air from the fridge might be noticeable. Glad to know it is zero. 👍🏻
Just picked it up for $580 out the door brand new from Amazon.
Just ordered this item. Any new updates on all of the owners? Still happy with your purchase?
Owned one for a year and still love it, no issues, however other owners have required a replacement from EcoFlow.
Excellent video. This was such a great review. One question I don’t think was answered and maybe it’s just common sense is the ice making part.
You said you need the battery or AC and cannot make ice with just power station. You said it uses 10% of battery. What if the power station plugged into battery while battery is in, would that work? Sorry if I missed it
As long as the battery is in, it will make ice.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures on that note, what slide did you have this mounted to?
I am looking for fridge slide for Ecoflow glacier. What do you use the slide? 18:52
Mine is a kitchen slide from Global Road Outdoors.
Very cool & great review! Any issues taking this cooler on a pontoon boat ?
I think it would be perfect for that.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures thanks! Glad I found your trailer - good stuff
Just bought a apl55. This or the apl55 for general use?
APL55
How did you buy the wheels and handle because they didn’t list it on there website.
EcoFlow sent it to me. Not sure why they are delayed on the website.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures lucky fish
I don't see anywhere on their site that says where they are made. Do you know where they are made?
I'm sure it's china. That's where they are all made.
Yeah, I just got a response back from EcoFlow. Made in China. Too bad, I'll have to keep looking. Thank you for the content, I love your product reviews
Lol, makes my old Engel fridge that has one control knob seem primitive... of course the Engel will be running long after that thing breaks down I'm betting.
I got an Engel MT45 at the boat show in Miami back in 2005. It still running like a champ.
And based on our difficulty to locate a Dometic thermistor and the frequency which they seem to die (after 5 short seasons of use!) - I would definitely not recommend Dometic.
Are those huge handles removable?
Yes they are.
What size fridge slide do you use?
It’s a large universal one.
Is the divider a cutting board???
No
Does it come with an XT-60?
I showed everything it came with in the video.
What are the dimensions of this fridge
That information is easy to find on the EcoFlow website. I didn't measure it.
If you plug into the AC on the power station you could make ice
Yep. I said it can do that plugged in to AC.
Nice, can you put two beer cans in the freezer. I like a little ice in my beer. Now, if you like my better half, she forgets it till the next morning. Everyone knows what happens when a beer is forgotten.
with the price of the battery you could just buy a river mini, why not do that instead? seems more versatile
Then you can’t make ice.
@OzarkOverlandAdventures wouldn't be the same as plugging it into 110? You could do that to make ice? Either way watching your other videos I think I like the new iceco better anyways haha
@@tennyis28 you’ll drain the mini super fast doing that.
Cost/price?
It’s in the video.
How much is it
Didn't actually watch the video did you? LOLOL
The app will show you much more info then screen only
Ice for when it is 120 degrees.
Hello friend
is rather have it at better price without the ice maker option
Same. And larger than 35L
For that price though... geez. I need a working jeep before I need ICE!
Nice video but I think k Newair is a little better.
It needs to be connected to one of Ecoflow charging stations to use the solar charger
Incorrect. You can plug a solar panel directly into it and charge the internal battery.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures it say “solar charging applies only when Glacier is connected to the plug-in battery”. You’re saying it’s referring to the removal battery unit?
@@SeanTheBlackOne yes.
Seems to be giving up too much space for a party trick. Rather have 30-50% more capacity for the same form factor.
Dometic is running 20% off on fridges, would you cancel the dometic CFX3 55IM for this one? I’m torn, I don’t even know what kind of customer service and warranty ecoflow provides, their website doesn’t mention it’s warranty.
Both have solid customer service. I'd say it depends more on what size fridge you need. The Dometic 55 has a lot more interior space.
You should buy another one that fits your needs. Duh.
Huh?
Way to over priced for sure
This thing is a huge L
How?
You talk too much
You comment too much
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures 🤣
If only you could get an optional battery with a port for jumper cables to start your car!
Huh?
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures Haven't you seen the portable solar generators with a port for the cables and module that jump starts a car? That would be a great feature to add to the battery pack since it is designed to be used as an axillary power supply!
@@mikebartoli4755 I’ve never seen a power station that can jump a car.
I like when he snapped his fingers and said you can go from this (Snap)🫰🏽to this 😮. Wasn’t expecting that. 😆😆
Hey Matt!! Quick question...I just bought this fridge and plugged in the 12V car plug to my Bluetti and it powered on just fine. When I plugged in the AC power supply to the wall the fridge does not power on. Do you know if I need the battery in order to use the AC power supply?
That's very odd. You don't need the battery to run off AC power. Might contact EcoFlow on that one.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures Thanks Matt...After contacting EcoFlow, they determined that it is a defective unit and they are sending me a replacement. Now if I could only get them to expedited the replacement to me prior to me leaving for Overland Expo West on the 21st.....real world problems here..UGH!!! Thanks for your reply!!
