While Joan and I enjoy RV life in our Montana 5th wheel and the comforts it allows, we still enjoy outdoor life too. I gave up tent camping long ago, and Joan and I left our hippie, beach bum lifestyle in the mid 70’s to start our family only to transition our outdoor events to trips to the beach, family outings, and the occasional day of Little League and now travel baseball with the grandkids. What has not changed was the need to refrigerate food and beverages for the day which has lead to a large collection of ice chest coolers and the never ending need to feed them with 10lb bags of ice. It was time for a change and we had the fortunate opportunity to review the ICECO JP50 Pro 50 liter portable 12V DC refrigerator, and found it exceeded our expectations.

ICECO JP50 Pro 50L Portable Refrigerator

We have another brand portable refrigerator freezer that is very large that we use for our long trips mounted on a slide-out tray in our lower 5th wheel storage bay. But for our outdoor activities, this refrigerator isn’t practical. It’s to large and too heavy especially when we are needing to walk long distances from our truck to wherever the outdoor activity is held.

That’s where the ICECO JP50 Pro comes in to play. The size, weight, and features were perfect for our needs. We like the ability to fill the 50 liter compartment with more than a days worth of food and refreshments with the benefits of not dealing with bags of ice, managing containers and bags to prevent food from getting wet, and the excellent efficiency of low 12V DC power demands.

Let’s look at the ICECO JP50 Pro features that we found were important for our outdoor activities:

• NO ICE NEEDED!
• Size: 13.8″D x 23″W x 20.9″H
• Equipped with a SECOP compressor for more efficient cooling, quieter operation, more stable operation, and longer service life.
• Cooling range from 0°F to 50°F(-18℃~10℃) for most freezing or refrigeration needs.
• The JP50 Pro fridge came with an insulated cover, wired basket, 120V AC cable, 12V DC cable. A note about the 120V AC power feature. This is a great feature which allows us to cool the fridge prior to outdoor use. This way food and beverages enter a cold environment and battery power isn’t wasted to chill the fridge and contents in the first hour of operation.
• 5-year warranty on the compressor and a 1-year warranty on all other parts.
• Built-in wheels and pull handle making it easy to transport a fully loaded fridge

Our Experience with the ICECO JP50 Pro

Our plans are use the ICECO JP50 Pro for 8 or more hours of outdoor activities. We also received the ICECO 250Wh Magnetic Lithium Battery Power Station. This small and lightweight power station was perfect for a day at the beach. After 9 hours with the fridge set to cool at 37°F and opened frequently, we still had 48% of power remaining at the end of the day.

The JP50 Pro was ideal for our beach day. We had high tide all day and parked in a public area with steps leading down to the beach. The fridge was full, but the wheels and folding handle made it easy to pull along the parking area and once we carried down the steps to the beach, pulling the fridge along the packed sand was a breeze.

The JP50 Pro is a perfect addition for our outdoor activities.
