This cooler is amazing if you need a big ass cooler that can keep your stuff cold, I haven’t used the battery power yet, only plugged in, but it gets cold very fast and has a bunch of room. The picture is next to a yeti 45 which is considerably smaller, especially since you have to use ice which takes up more room.

So today was my first full day of putting this chest to work. I started off by turning both sides of the chest on(each side can set to different temps or turned off completely on the biggest model) and setting each side to 39°F(3.9°C) at 6 AM(1st picture with 99% battery life). After 10 hours (2nd picture) and a temperature climb to 106°F(41°C) I have 67% battery life left which is where my expectations were exceeded. I expected to have about 25% left of battery life, but nope, 67%(please note that the cooler was not opened during this time making it ideal for long-term storage). This is also speaks volumes about how well insulated the chest is from temperature changes.
The chest itself will use about 5% of the battery from what I’ve noticed so far when cooling from 70°F(21°C) to 39°F(3.9°C)(tested yesterday and today). Once cooling has been achieved, the battery will shut off until it needs to start the compressor up again to bring the temp back down to where it was set.
As for the chest itself, I’d recommend going for the biggest one if possible because that’s one great feature exclusive to the biggest chest in that through the app you can not only set 2 different temps, but also turn off one side if you don’t need to use the whole chest. Another great reason comes down to personal taste which is that as of now only the big chest comes in the nice dark gray color as opposed to the green color for the 2 smaller chests.
Storage wise I was able to fit a 24 pack of bottles of Modelo(which come in bulbous bottles) no problem on one side and another 18 pack of cans on the other side with room to spare on either side.
Another nice touch is that each side has an led light so you can see what you’re looking for when the sun goes down.
As mentioned, you can control the chest through a free downloadable app, though connection is limited to Bluetooth which means you won’t be able to be too far away to monitor the condition of the ice chest.
In summary, I’m very impressed by the cooling, insulation and battery life of this chest and look forward to putting it through its paces as the long and hot summer goes on. I will likely be adding updates down the road, but as of now, I highly recommend this specific model.

I originally had an Ecoflow Glacier but it was making too loud a noise so I returned it and got this instead.
Pros:
* Portability — way easier to wheel around the fridge than carry it with a friend.
* Battery bank — the fact that you can detach and use the battery bank for things other than powering the fridge is a great plus.
* Bluetooth connection — no wifi needed to connect to your phone, although the Bluetooth does turn off after it isn’t used for a while and you have to manually turn it back on on the fridge.
* Folding surface — used more than we thought we would. Nice to be able to use the attached surface that doubles as a handle rather than relying on the top of the fridge to put stuff.
Pros/Cons (somewhere in the middle)
* Noise — it’s quieter than the Ecoflow Glacier, but makes noise more often and isn’t totally silent. I think this is due to the split design of the compartment so the compressor is essentially twice as likely to be running, although it would be in theory running for less time each time.
* Battery — the battery does not last as long as advertised, mainly because I believe it’s advertised with both compartments set to fridge and probably to ~40-42 degrees F. The battery isn’t bad though for general usage. With both of my compartments set to 36 F (see Cons below), I had 35% battery left after around 24-25 hours of usage which puts the runtime right around or a little under 40 hours. I assume if one compartment was set to freezer it’d cut that time down by a few more hours (depending on how full the freezer is).
* Split compartment — the Ecoflow Glacier has a removable divider so you can either have one giant chest or two different temperature chests. The pros of the way Anker has done this is clearly energy efficiency and accuracy of temperature within each chest. You give up flexibility and a bit of storage space in return.
* No ice-maker — I don’t really need it, so I don’t really care about it. But the Ecoflow Glacier has one and it works pretty well (although not on battery).
Cons
* Temperature accuracy — I popped a few thermometers into the sections and the reported temperature by the fridge was consistently around 5 degrees F colder than what the thermometers read (e.g., if the fridge said the internal temp was 36, the thermometer would read 41; if the fridge read 4 degrees, the thermometer would read 9 degrees). This was consistent from compartment to compartment and comparing against multiple thermometers.
* Size — it is very bulky vs similar capacity fridges, but that’s what you get for having a built-in battery backup.
Overall, it’s a good fridge and I expect to use it for a long time!
