The Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sales event is here, and there’s plenty for those who like to spend time outdoors to love. We’re talking steep discounts on well-reviewed camp stoves, portable fans, and this car refrigerator that will be the MVP of your next tailgate or car camping trip.
The Alpicool 16-Quart Portable Car Refrigerator is 30% off right now, $112 instead of the $160 it normally goes for. Without the hassle of keeping it loaded with ice (an expense that takes up valuable space), this battery-powered refrigerator can keep its contents at whatever temperature that you set it to, from -4 degrees Fahrenheit for meat to 50 degrees Fahrenheit for fruits and vegetables.

As with anything meant to be portable, dimensions are important. This refrigerator weighs a manageable 18.5 pounds and is roughly 2 feet wide, a foot long, and a foot tall with handles for easy transport. On the right side of the cooler is a thermostat that allows you to set the unit to your desired temperature, from cool to sub-freezing. It can charge via a home outlet, car outlet, or portable generator, and its 16-quart capacity is large enough to hold 20 cans. Other sizes from 10 to 21 quarts are also available, but the 16-quart model has the best discount by far and should be a good size for most people’s needs.
Those of us raised to think bags of ice are essential for any sort of outdoor cooling might be skeptical, but this refrigerator has earned over 300 five-star ratings. One reviewer called it a “great portable freezer” that worked “flawlessly” on a 10-day, 3,000-mile road trip.
Another customer wrote that this refrigerator is “an excellent budget fridge/freezer” because “it has consistent temperature regulation” thanks in part to the tight seal around the lid.
Ice isn’t free, so it doesn’t take too long for the Alpicool 16-Quart Portable Car Refrigerator to pay for itself. And along with the financial savings, the convenience of having a reliable place to refrigerate or freeze food, drinks, and medicine on the go is worth a whole lot more than the $112 this unit will cost you during this sale.
