Ideal for a camping trip or a picnic, a 12 volt fridge provides the best option for keeping your foods and drinks chilled to the touch. Unlike the coolers which keep your items cold as long as there is ice, 12v fridges maintain food freshness and guarantee icy drinks without the need for ice.

If you are in the market for a 12V fridge, you will find that there are currently many different brands offering different models and it can all get confusing. If you have a tight budget, consider shopping for more affordable fridges crossing out the features you do not need.

Also consider the size of the mini-fridge. When considering the size take time to assess its mobility for example if you plan to travel with it by car, make sure it can fit in the car nicely providing ample room for ventilation. Check the fridge weight also to see if it is easily movable by hand.

You can either choose the compressor or thermoelectric fridge. I recommend the compressor fridge as they are more efficient and quite popular among 12V fridge users. They are also more ideal for extended trips and can generally cool to a temperature well below freezing point (0˚ c). Thermostatic fridges on the other hand are ideal for short term trips such as picnics.

Before purchasing a 12V fridge it is important to identify its intended use. Make sure the fridge is easy to clean and has features that add value to your money. Make a point of doing some online research on 12v fridges to get leads on the best brands available.
