Traditional coolers are great for backyard barbecues and tailgating, but they might not stand up to the rigors of a longer road trip, particularly when it’s perishable foods or medicine that need to be kept cold. Car refrigerators are a good alternative because they actively cool their contents rather than simply creating a barrier to slow the transfer of heat from outside to inside. Right now, Walmart has a well-reviewed car refrigerator that doesn’t take up too much trunk space on sale with a solid discount.
The Kohree 19-Quart Portable Car Refrigerator is on sale for $170 at Walmart, 33% off its normal $255 price tag. Two other sizes, 42- and 52-quart, are also on sale for $299 and $351, respectively. All feature flexible charging, impressive portability, and the promise of keeping not just drinks but perishables plenty cold between point A and point B.
33% OffDespite (and partially because of) its small size, the onboard compressor on this refrigerator can drop the temperature inside from 68 to 32 degrees Fahrenheit in just 15 minutes and reach a deep freeze temperature of -4 in another 35 minutes. That impressive speed minimizes the time needed to get this refrigerator ready to go. It runs off of 110/240V AC or 12V/24V DC with both adapters included, and the onboard 3-level battery protection mechanism prevents this refrigerator from draining your battery. It makes just 45 dB of noise while operating, roughly a conversational volume, and comes with a heavy-duty top handle for easy carrying.
Instead of using coolers and many pounds of ice for a camping weekend, one shopper opted to try this car refrigerator. Even with temperatures over 90 degrees, it “kept everything cold the whole weekend.” They “could not be happier with the refrigerator,” a rare purchase that “actually exceeded expectations.”
Other customers wrote that this refrigerator is “easy to use,” “cooled down quickly,” and is “very quiet.” Another used it on a fishing trip and it “kept my fish frozen all week” while another called it “great for off-grid camping.”
