BougeRV 12V Portable Refrigerator Freezer, 23-Quart — Grey, Compressor Cooling & Low-Power

The BougeRV CR22 is a 23‑quart 12V portable refrigerator/freezer that cools down to -8°F, runs quietly, and uses minimal power for road trips and off‑grid living.

Compact but capable, this grey BougeRV 23‑quart unit uses a compressor to deliver fast cooling, multi‑stage battery protection, and an energy‑efficient design suitable for cars, trucks, vans, RVs, and boats. It ships with both DC and AC power cords and comes with two years of technical support from BougeRV, making it a practical cold‑storage solution when you need refrigeration away from home.

How quickly will it chill or freeze my food?

The CR22 uses compressor refrigeration to lower internal temperatures fast: it can drop from typical room temperature to 32°F in about 15 minutes and reach near‑freezer levels within an hour. That speed means less time waiting for items to become safe for storage and more consistent preservation without ice packs.

• 15 minutes: 77°F to 32°F (fast chilling)
• ~50 minutes: 77°F to -5°F (deep freeze capability)
• Compressor cooling: reliable performance in varied ambient conditions
• No need for ice—saves space and prevents dilution of liquids

What are the power needs and energy characteristics?

This 23‑quart fridge is built for low energy consumption and flexible power sources. In ECO mode it typically uses under 45W, and even at peak it consumes around 60W, translating to well under 1 kWh per day in normal cycling—ideal for extended trips with limited power.

• Operates on 12V/24V DC and includes AC cord for plug‑in use
• ECO energy‑saving mode reduces average power draw
• Max 60W consumption; intelligent cycling lowers daily energy use
• Compatible with vehicle electrical systems, solar setups, and inverters

Will it be noisy or tolerate rough roads?

The unit is engineered for quiet operation and road use, running at about 45 dB so it won’t disturb sleep in a vehicle or campsite. Its shock‑resistant design and ability to operate on inclines up to 30° make it well suited for uneven terrain and off‑road conditions.

• Low noise: approximately 45 dB for minimal disturbance
• Shock‑proof construction for bumps and vibrations
• Operates reliably on inclines up to 30°
• Compact and lightweight: 22.68 × 12.60 × 12.97 inches; ~22.27 lb

How does it protect my vehicle battery and what accessories are included?

The CR22 includes a 3‑level battery protection system so you can set the cutoff voltage and avoid draining your vehicle’s battery. The package contains a DC power cord for automotive use, a 6.56 ft AC adapter for household outlets, a user manual, and access to two years of BougeRV technical support for setup and troubleshooting.

• Three selectable battery cutoff levels to preserve starting power
• Includes DC cord, AC power cord (6.56 ft), and manual
• 2 years BougeRV tech support for assistance
• Note: avoid direct sunlight to prevent door deformation

Who is this for? The BougeRV CR22 is aimed at weekend adventurers, van‑lifers, RV owners, fishermen, and anyone needing reliable refrigerated storage away from home. If you want rapid cooling, low electrical draw, quiet performance, and a compact footprint that fits in a vehicle or small galley, this portable freezer/fridge is a practical choice.
