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.
The CFX3 45 shares its review pool with the rest of the CFX3/CFX5 family on Amazon, over 700 combined reviews that stay broadly positive. The VMSO3 compressor does the job without surprises: quick cooldown, solid performance even in summer heat, and solar compatibility is a genuine bonus for anyone camping far from mains power. The CFX3 app works well over Bluetooth up close, a bit less reliably over Wifi depending on local network quality, a complaint that comes up repeatedly. Two things worth knowing before buying: at 18.7 kg empty it is not the lightest in its class, and it has been overtaken within the range by the CFX5 55, more powerful and better insulated, which now gets most of Dometic's marketing attention. Still, for 41 usable litres at a price below the CFX5, the CFX3 45 remains a sensible pick for anyone who does not need the very latest tech.
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.
The CFX5 range is gradually replacing the CFX3 on 45-litre-and-up sizes at Dometic, and the feedback available (shared across the whole CFX3/CFX5 family on Amazon, over 700 combined reviews) remains very positive about this generational shift. The VMSO 3.5 compressor, more powerful than the CFX3's VMSO3, is praised for cooling down faster, a welcome trait on a hot day arriving at the campsite. The vacuum-panel insulation frees up usable volume without increasing the outer footprint, a concrete point raised by several users who have owned both generations. The built-in ice maker, new on this 55-litre size, splits opinion: valued by some for the comfort it adds at gatherings, seen as unnecessary by others who would have preferred a lower price. That price remains the main point to weigh: noticeably above compressor coolers without connectivity of similar capacity, justified by the technology on board and the 3-year manufacturer warranty, but worth comparing against simpler alternatives if budget is tight.
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.
Reclassified in our catalogue as an electric cooler (rather than a soft bag, a filing error we've now corrected), the BordBar AS 25 earns its place among the small, affordable thermoelectric coolers. Its real strength is power flexibility: cigarette lighter cable on the road, mains cable on arrival, with automatic switching between the two. The Velcro fastenings and the seatbelt used to hold it on the passenger seat are thoughtful details for use in a car. Genuine customer reviews are split on two points: noise level on 12V, seen as more noticeable than on 230V, and cooling power, decent for keeping already-cold products cool but not for turning a warm drink into an ice-cold one. Like any thermoelectric cooler, it doesn't replace a compressor model for heavy use. Its observed price on Amazon has risen sharply lately (worth checking before buying), which now puts it above comparable competitors such as the Severin KB 2922: for short to medium trips it remains an honest choice on a technical level, but the value for money deserves a close look at the time of purchase.
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 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.
The CFX5 95DZ is clearly built for people going far and staying out for a while: the independently adjustable dual zone genuinely changes day-to-day use, with a freezer compartment on one side and a fridge compartment on the other, without having to pick one or the other as you would on a single-zone cooler this size. The vacuum insulation delivers on its promise: cooldown is fast and power draw stays reasonable given the total volume, a point often praised by users running solar panels in a van. The TFT screen and app control add real convenience for keeping an eye on both zones without opening the lid. The drawbacks are mostly about size: at 94 litres it takes up serious space and calls for a dedicated build-out, and its price, the highest in the whole Dometic range, keeps it geared towards heavy or professional use rather than occasional trips. For anyone genuinely living on the road for weeks at a time, though, it remains one of the most capable coolers on the market.
