There are many benefits that go hand-in-hand with a good quality 4×4 fridge freezer. The capacity and capability to keep food, drink and other supplies icy cool, even when exploring harsher conditions, certainly isn’t lost on us or other off-roading enthusiasts.
Choosing the portable fridge freezer that’s right for you and your 4×4 isn’t easy. Those looking for a budget friendly yet cutting edge and convenient option however need look no further than the Dometic TropiCool TCX.
Combining two leading technologies
The debate rages on about whether an electric cool box or portable fridge is the best option but with the Dometic TropiCool TCX, you get the very best of both worlds. These coolers feature both compressor and thermoelectric technology to ensure optimum flexibility when travelling far from home.
We’ll let Campfire Magazine explain more about how the compressor technology found on cool boxes and camping fridges works:
“Compressor fridges are the top of the range because you can set a temperature for your food, or even freeze it, and that’s what you’ll get – unaffected by the searing sun outside. They’ll have to do more work in hotter temperatures, of course, which means they’ll run more often but they’re very efficient. They run on the car battery and also on mains (some will only freeze when on mains power). Many have power-saving features and some can operate with solar.”
By combining the compressor system with a wear resistant fan that insulated thermoelectric cool boxes are known for, the Dometic TropiCool TCX range ensures effective, reliable and efficient refrigeration to 27°C below ambient.
Heat and cool at the touch of a button
Unlike many other models, the Dometic TropiCool TCX has the ability to cool and heat, with food contained inside the unit able to be heated up to 65°C.
Despite these extraordinary heating and cooling capabilities, the gadget is extremely efficient with its intelligent power-save circuit unlocking fantastic energy savings for all. While the unit can be operated from a car battery in thermoelectric mode, Dometic supplies a power pack option that is great for powering their coolers. Their PLB40 Portable Lithium Battery Power Pack provides up to 53 hours of power on a single charge to fuel portable coolers and other 12V appliances.
Your heating and cooling requirements can also be pre-programmed into your Dometic system, with presets even maintained when the product is switched off.
Easy to carry and access
The accessibility of your cooled supplies is important. You want easy access wherever your adventure takes you, a fact that makes the Dometic’s lightweight, compact and carry along design particularly handy. The Dometic TropiCool TCX also operates in a number of positions, including when tilted.
Its durable housing and built-in Active Battery Protection makes it suitable for camping, motorhome and marine use too.
Choose from 21L and 33L
When choosing the Dometic TropiCool TCX, you’ll have plenty of space for all those essentials. Choose from Dometic’s 21-litre and 33-litre coolers to ensure a high performance unit that delivers whatever the destination or occasion.
