These look identical to the BougeRV 12v refrigerators [amazon.com] (at least in appearance and specs). There's a deal currently for the 30qt BougeRV cooler for $203 that may be a better deal if you want something larger. $30 more for 40% more space seems like a good tradeoff.

I picked up the 30qt BougeRV last week and have been testing it out the last 4-5 days. Assuming this cooler is in fact the same as the BougeRV one, I've been very impressed with the quality and performance. In ideal situations (food already pre-cooled, fridge set to 38deg, eco mode, minimal opening of lid, indoors at 74deg ambient), I'm noticing around 8-10Wh of energy usage per hour. The compressor and fan are very quiet and nearly unnoticeable.

I bought this last summer in preparation for camp. Works very nice. The 20qt is good for sodas, monsters, beer, and water bottles. The 1 liter soda bottles are too tall, so they need to be tilted. I should have bought the cover along with it as it was discounted if purchased together. I've been using this unit with with my bluetti power banks for the last year and it works gr8. My next unit will be a bigger one, but still deciding.

From what I could gather, the cheap(er) portable freezers are all from the same OEM or use the same compressor/controls with tweaked styling. I think it was Apticool or Astro, don't remember.

Random tidbit: Bouge also sells the same battery pack as F40C, just different color.
