Keeping food fresh in the summer is a challenge when traveling long distances. Small car refrigerators can create coolness when traveling by car. Such devices are structurally divided into three groups. The most versatile and economical are absorption refrigerators. They operate on three independent power sources, and food is cooled both during the trip and during long stops.
Compression units are rightfully considered the most effective. They have the fastest adjustable cooling, a large selection of working chamber volumes, and a battery protection system when parked. But they also cost much more than their counterparts.
Thermoelectric refrigerators are used to transport pre-chilled beverages and food. Cooling is based on a built-in fan.
We have compiled a list of the best car refrigerators based on expert opinions and reviews from real customers. Our recommendations will help you make the best choice for your requirements and desires. There are many competitors on the world market for equipment, but we have selected the best manufacturers and recommend paying special attention to them:
- AVS
- MOBICOOL
- Indel
- Dometic

The main advantages
- The refrigerator is built on the basis of a high-strength plastic case with a capacity of 24 liters and is designed for the safety of food. The snug fit lid has a built-in fan.
- Also on the cover there is a small control panel on which there are two power connectors - from a 220 V household network, and from a 12 V battery
- On the control panel there is also a switch for operating modes - either for heating or for cooling
- The advantages of the device include the presence of a vehicle battery monitoring sensor. This protection system prevents the battery from completely discharging when parked.
- All insulating parts of the refrigerator are made from environmentally friendly materials. Food can be cooled to 30 ° C below ambient

Indel B TB18 (car refrigerator)
The main advantages
- The device works reliably in conditions of constant road shaking and can withstand slopes up to 30 °
- The refrigerator evaporator is protected by a special aluminum surface, which prevents damage while the vehicle is in motion
- The electronic circuitry of the device constantly monitors the operating mode of the car engine. When the engine is running, the cooling of the chamber is most intense. When the engine is off, the refrigerator works in economy mode. The intensity of this parameter is adjustable by the user.
- The stable working SECOP BD Micro compressor of the original design ensures optimal operation of the device even with a significant gap between the actual and the set temperature
- The protection circuit monitors the battery voltage level and turns off the compressor when this parameter falls. When the battery recharges, the refrigerator automatically turns on

about
Dometic Waeco CombiCool ACX-40 (car refrigerator)
The main advantages
- Three independent power sources are provided for a compact electric gas device - a 220 V household electrical network, a car's on-board network and a gas cylinder with butane or propane
- Using gas as a power source, a car refrigerator works most economically and at the same time completely silent, since no moving parts are involved
- High-quality polyurethane insulation helps maintain a stable operating temperature
- Rugged housing made of high-grade aluminum reliably protects the inner chamber from possible mechanical damage
- A container for making ice cubes and trouble-free piezo ignition, as well as three-position flame control in gas mode, make the operation of the refrigerator more comfortable

Cooling mode
The main advantages
- The thermal container is suitable for use not only in a car, but also on an outing or traveling in a bus, due to the fact that, in addition to power supply from the on-board network, it is possible to connect to a 220 V household power supply and from a 24 V truck network
- Modern, environmentally friendly materials provide excellent insulation for the device. In the parking lot, after turning off the refrigerator, the set temperature is maintained for two hours
- Thermoelectric container works using the "Peltier effect", which is based on the ability of semiconductor wafers to cool or heat depending on the polarity of the voltage
- The device works without a compressor, so there is no additional load on the vehicle's on-board network
- The device, in addition to the mandatory cooling function, has the ability to switch to heating mode. The temperature inside the chamber of the device in this mode reaches + 65 ° С

The main advantages
- The German-made auto-refrigerator features a large chamber - up to 38 liters, which allows you to store a significant stock of food in it
- The device uses two cooling methods - compressor, in which it is possible to change the temperature of the chamber in the range from +10 to -18 degrees Celsius
- In addition, thermoelectric technology is used, which guarantees a temperature drop of 20 degrees below the environment. The choice of cooling technology is determined by the choice of the type of power supply
- The insulating materials of the apparatus are made of polyurethane. The substance is completely non-toxic. The inner walls of the refrigerator are treated with a special antibacterial composition, which protects food from premature spoilage
- The set includes two power adapters - for connecting to the vehicle's on-board network and a 220 V household power supply
