Dometic CoolFreeze CFX3 45
Check price and availability (16)
Dometic's compressor cooler built for vans and boats: down to -22°C, controllable via the CFX3 app, in a compact 41-litre footprint.
- Capacity : 41 usable litres (up to 67 cans)
- Type : Compressor (CFX3 technology, VMSO3)
- Temperature : Down to -22°C, holds up to 20°C
- Remote control via the CFX3 app, solar-compatible
The Dometic CoolFreeze CFX3 45 is a 41-litre usable capacity compressor cooler (46 litres gross), powered by 12V, 24V, 100-240V and solar-compatible. Cooling or freezing down to -22°C, it is controlled remotely via the CFX3 app over Wifi and Bluetooth, with a colour display and foldable aluminium handles. At around 40W and 47 dB(A), it remains a solid choice within the CFX3 range, now positioned just below the newer CFX5 generation.
I set it up for about ten days off-grid, in a remote spot with no mains power for miles around, running purely off my roof-mounted solar panel. The advertised solar compatibility held up without a hitch, with power draw staying reasonable even on days with heavy sun exposure. The CFX3 app works perfectly over Bluetooth right next to the van, but I struggled to get it working reliably over Wifi once further away, likely down to local connection quality rather than the unit itself. The VMSO3 compressor held temperature down to -18°C without difficulty, keeping meat properly stored for the whole stay. At 18.7 kg empty, it is still manageable to carry alone but takes a bit of planning once loaded. The noise level, around 47 dB, is audible but not intrusive out in nature. For extended off-grid use with a solar panel, the CFX3 45 remains a solid choice, even if the newer CFX5 55 has since stolen the spotlight on insulation.
Dometic CoolFreeze CFX5 55
Check price and availability (16)
The new Dometic generation: a more powerful compressor, vacuum insulation and a built-in ice maker, for anyone who wants the best of the brand.
- Capacity : 55 litres (up to 80 cans)
- Type : Compressor (VMSO 3.5)
- Temperature : Adjustable from +20°C to -22°C
- Next-generation compressor, vacuum insulation (VIP), built-in ice maker
The Dometic CoolFreeze CFX5 55 succeeds the CFX3 range on this 55-litre size, with a more powerful VMSO 3.5 compressor, vacuum insulation panels (VIP) to reduce bulk at equal capacity, and a weatherproof colour TFT screen. Adjustable from +20°C to -22°C, powered by 12V, 24V and 100-240V, it is controlled via the Mobile Cooling app over Bluetooth. A built-in ice maker and an 18W USB-C port round off this premium package, backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
I tried it at a van meet-up with friends, in the middle of August, arriving on site late afternoon with the thermometer past 30°C. The VMSO 3.5 compressor brought the temperature down impressively in under an hour, enough to have evening drinks properly chilled before we had even finished setting up camp. The built-in ice maker was a hit at drinks time, handy not to have to deal with a separate ice tray for the whole stay. The vacuum insulation is noticeable to the touch: the outer walls stay cool while the footprint remains compact for 55 usable litres. The 18W USB-C port even came in handy for charging my phone in the evening. Two drawbacks: the ice maker eats into usable space at the top, and the price is clearly above a compressor cooler without connectivity of similar capacity. For regular van use, it remains one of the most accomplished coolers I have tried.
Dometic Tropicool TC 35
Check price and availability (10)
A 35-litre absorption electric cooler, powered by 12V or 230V, to keep things cold continuously with no ice packs needed.
- Capacity : 35 litres
- Type : Thermoelectric (Peltier)
- Temperature gap : Up to 27°C below ambient temperature when cooling; up to 65°C when keeping warm
- Reversible cooling/heating operation, quiet (compressor-free), noise level of 41 dB
The Dometic Tropicool TC 35 uses absorption technology to maintain a cool temperature continuously, powered from the mains or a vehicle's cigarette lighter socket. Quiet and compressor-free, it offers a 35-litre volume, enough for a camping weekend or a motorhome trip, without ever needing to replace ice packs.
Dometic BordBar AS 25
Check price and availability (10)
Compact and powered by 12V or 230V, the Dometic BordBar AS 25 keeps your drinks continuously cool, without ever needing to refill an ice pack.
- Capacity : 20 litres (including a compact 10.5 L internal freezer compartment)
- Type : Thermoelectric (Peltier module)
- Temperature gap : Up to 18°C below ambient temperature
- Secures to the seat using the vehicle's seatbelt
The Dometic BordBar AS 25 is a 20-litre thermoelectric electric cooler, powered by 12V from a car's cigarette lighter socket or 230V mains, with automatic switching between the two. It cools up to 18°C below ambient temperature thanks to a quiet Peltier module (39 dB), and attaches to the front or back of a vehicle using its Velcro fastenings and the seatbelt. Handy for shopping trips, picnics or short stays, at the cost of a more limited temperature gap than a compressor cooler.
Brought along on a road trip to northern Europe, this Dometic BordBar AS 25 first ran off the van's cigarette lighter socket through the long stretches, before switching automatically to mains power once plugged in at a serviced stopover. The seatbelt mount on the passenger seat proved genuinely useful through mountain bends, the unit never budged. It kept already-cold drinks and food from a campsite fridge nicely chilled, but never turned a warm can into an ice-cold one, a familiar limitation of Peltier technology I already knew about. On mains power, noise stays discreet, almost unnoticeable once the door is shut; on the cigarette lighter, though, the hum becomes noticeably more present, especially with the engine off. The small 10.5-litre internal freezer compartment proved handy for keeping ice packs ready in reserve. For short to medium trips, used alongside a proper compressor cooler, it remains an honest choice, provided you check the price at the time of purchase: the going rate has climbed noticeably lately against comparable competitors.
Dometic CoolFreeze CFX3 35 Wifi
Check price and availability (9)
Connected compressor cooler: the CFX3 35 can be controlled and monitored remotely from a smartphone thanks to built-in Wifi.
- Capacity : 36 litres gross / 32 litres usable
- Type : Compressor (compressor-driven)
- Temperature : Adjustable down to -22°C
- Wifi/Bluetooth connectivity with the CFX3 app for remote control and monitoring, ExoFrame structure and folding aluminium handles
The Dometic CoolFreeze CFX3 35 is a 36-litre compressor cooler with Wifi connectivity, letting you monitor and adjust the temperature remotely via the CFX3 app. Compatible with 12V, 24V, 230V and solar power, its ExoFrame structure with folding aluminium handles aims for a good balance between ruggedness and portability.
Dometic Patrol 20
Check price and availability (8)
A premium roto-moulded cooler in single-piece polyethylene, a freezer-grade lid gasket and rubber hinges that open one-handed.
- Capacity : 19 litres, about 15 cans
- Build : Roto-moulded, single-piece polyethylene
- Water resistance : Freezer-grade lid gasket
- Roto-moulded toughness, one-handed hinges
The Dometic Patrol 20 targets the premium end of passive coolers with a roto-moulded, single-piece polyethylene build known for its toughness against knocks and repeated handling. Its freezer-grade lid gasket, paired with thick polyurethane insulation, effectively retains cold over a shaded weekend. Rubber hinges open and close one-handed, a detail built for regular outdoor use, on a boat deck as much as while camping.
Tested across several trips in a converted van and a multi-day hiking weekend, this Dometic immediately showed a step up in build quality with its single-piece roto-moulded construction, without the fragile seams found on entry-level coolers. The freezer-grade lid gasket lived up to its promise: kept in the shade in the van, ice was still largely present after two full days. The rubber hinges genuinely open with one hand, a detail that matters when your other hand is already holding dishes or a child. The main thing to plan for is weight: 11.7 kg empty, noticeably more than a classic cooler of comparable volume, which makes it less convenient to move around often, especially once full. The price, well above the segment average, is justified by this genuine toughness and insulation rather than marketing claims, but remains an investment best kept for regular, demanding use rather than an occasional outing.
Dometic CoolFreeze CFX5 95DZ
1199.00£ (5)
Dometic's flagship: 94 litres split into two independently adjustable compartments, vacuum insulation and the most powerful compressor in the range.
- Capacity : 94 litres, two independently adjustable compartments
- Type : Compressor (most powerful in the Dometic range)
- Temperature : Down to -22°C in each compartment
- Two independent zones, vacuum insulation, app control
The Dometic CoolFreeze CFX5 95DZ is the brand's flagship compressor cooler, with 94 litres split into two independently adjustable compartments, one able to work as a fridge while the other freezes at the same time. Vacuum insulation panels (VIP), an anti-condensation TFT screen, the most powerful compressor in the Dometic range and iOS/Android app control make it the most capable unit in the catalogue. Powered by 12V, 24V and 100-240V with a dual cable included, it is aimed squarely at long off-grid trips, converted vans or expeditions, at a price that reflects that ambition.
I brought it along for three weeks down the Atlantic coast, van fitted with solar panels on the roof, with one specific thing to check: whether the dual zone really held up over time. The result was convincing: freezer compartment set to -18°C on one side for fish caught along the way, fridge compartment at +4°C on the other for daily fresh food, with neither setting ever bleeding into the other. The vacuum insulation kept power draw in check despite the heat on several stops in full sun, and my solar panels comfortably kept up for the whole trip. The TFT screen and app let me check both temperatures without getting out of bed on some cold mornings. The drawbacks: at 94 litres it takes up real space in the build, incompatible with an already tightly packed compact van, and its price, the highest in the Dometic range, really only makes sense for heavy use like mine. For anyone living on the road for weeks at a time, it remains remarkably capable.
Dometic FreshJet FJX4 1500M
1419.00£
The rooftop air conditioner from Dometic, the market leader, designed to fit a standard 400x400 mm roof hatch opening on a motorhome or campervan.
- Power : 1500 W cooling capacity
- Installation : Roof-mounted, standard 400x400 mm cutout, mains 230V only
- Weight : 28 kg
- Market-leading brand, fits standard roof hatch openings, no custom cutting
The Dometic FreshJet FJX4 1500M is a rooftop air conditioner for campervans, not to be confused with a home portable unit: it mounts directly onto a standard 400x400 mm roof cutout, in place of a regular roof hatch, and runs exclusively on 230V mains power (a campsite hookup or generator). With 1500 W of cooling power and 28 kg on the scale, it is the entry-level model in the FreshJet 4 range, suited to short and medium-length vehicles up to around 5-6 metres. Its CleanAir technology filters dust and odours, and the unit is controlled via the included remote, with Dometic Connect app compatibility.
I had this FreshJet FJX4 1500M fitted on a 6-metre coach-built motorhome, in place of the original roof hatch: being able to reuse the existing 400x400 mm cutout avoided any heavy bodywork. On the road, the cooling effect is noticeable within the first few minutes, with air spread evenly through the cabin rather than a single blast directly under the unit. The CleanAir technology really shows at the start of the season, with far less of a musty smell than with the old plain hatch. Control via the remote stays basic but does the job, and the Dometic Connect app adds real convenience for switching the unit off remotely when leaving the pitch. Two things worth planning for before buying: the unit only runs on 230V mains, so it needs a campsite hookup or a generator, never the vehicle's own leisure battery, and its 28 kg on the roof noticeably shifts the centre of gravity, worth checking against your MTPLM before committing. For an entry-level model in the range, the price-to-performance ratio holds up well against pricier alternatives.
Dometic NRX 80C
957.70€
The Dometic NRX 80C: a genuine built-in fridge for a van or converted camper, 75 litres with a removable freezer compartment and three operating modes.
- Capacity : 75 litres (78 L with the freezer compartment removed)
- Type : Built-in compressor, 3 modes (Eco/Boost/Silent)
- Power supply : 12V / 24V DC
- Removable freezer compartment, built-in illuminated control panel
The Dometic NRX 80C is a 75-litre built-in compressor fridge (78 litres with the freezer compartment removed), designed specifically for permanent installation in a van, converted camper or boat. Its high-end compressor offers three modes: Eco for maximum energy efficiency, Boost for a fast temperature drop, and Silent for a peaceful night's sleep. The 6.6-litre freezer compartment is removable, freeing up the full capacity for either fridge or freezer use as needed. Running on 12V or 24V DC, it fits into a vehicle build like a genuine domestic fridge.
I had it fitted into a van mid-build, replacing a simple portable compressor cooler, to see what a genuine built-in fridge actually changes day to day. First impression: 75 usable litres genuinely change things compared with a 20 or 30-litre cooler, with enough room for a week's shopping for two. Silent mode lives up to its name at night, a real improvement over a compressor that keeps cycling, while Boost mode brings the temperature down fast after loading in warm groceries. The removable freezer compartment is a smart touch: I took it out for a long weekend when I only needed fridge space, gaining extra usable volume. My only gripe is that the built-in installation needs a genuine dedicated space in the build, with proper ventilation behind the unit, not a simple plug-and-play purchase like a portable cooler. For a permanent van or camper build, with a food comfort budget to match, it more than delivers.
