Top 10 Best 12V DC Freezers
for June 2023

The BougeRV 53 Quart Car Fridge is the cheapest portable refrigerator we tested, and it's the only one that uses 12 V power, so it's great for campers and RVers.

It can run on a 12 V battery, a 24 V battery, or on 110/220 V AC power, and it's small enough to fit in the trunk of most cars. However, like most 12 V car refrigerators, it's not powerful enough to keep foods frozen for more than a week, so it's better suited to short camping trips. The refrigerator has a practical handle and wheels for easy transport, and it has a see-through lid and a door that swings open. This fridge has 53 quarts of storage, which is enough for 6 to 8 people, but it's a little smaller than our other picks, so it's more suitable for short trips.
