Engel UC19
Check price and availability (14)
Airtight and waterproof, this 18-litre Engel cooler floats even when full: the ideal companion for fishing, kayaking and boating trips.
- Capacity : 18 litres (19 US quarts), up to 30 cans of 33 cl
- Outer dimensions : 42 x 28.6 x 32.4 cm
- Inner dimensions : 35 x 20.3 x 25.4 cm
- Waterproof box that floats even when full, 5-year warranty
The Engel UC19 cooler stands out for its airtight, waterproof construction, able to float even when full, a feature sought after by anglers and watersports enthusiasts. Its recessed EVA gasket and injection-moulded polymer (TPU) shell, reinforced with stainless steel hardware, give it up to 24 hours of cold retention. A compact 18-litre format, 5-year warranty, built for heavy outdoor use rather than the occasional picnic.
Taken out several times kayaking and by the water's edge, the Engel UC19 quickly earned its place in our selection: it's one of the rare passive models that's genuinely waterproof, in the literal sense. The EVA gasket does the job as advertised, no leaks observed even sitting in the damp bottom of a kayak, and seeing it float as intended when it goes overboard is immediately reassuring. The stainless steel latches and self-locking hinge give an impression of rare sturdiness for this compact format, consistent with the 5-year warranty Engel states. The removable hanging tray is a clever detail for keeping sandwiches away from cans. Two honest downsides: at 18 litres, it stays small for a group or several days of catches, and its price is well above a classic passive cooler of equivalent capacity. But for targeted use, fishing, kayaking, protecting a camera or electronics from moisture, it justifies its price with a ruggedness and water resistance few competitors offer at this size.
Engel MR-040F
599.00€ (12)
A historic reference among compressor coolers: rugged, virtually unbreakable, it switches from fridge (+10°C) to freezer (-18°C) with ease.
- Capacity : 40 litres (38 L usable)
- Temperature : Continuously adjustable from +10°C to -18°C
- Power supply : 12V / 24V (vehicle) and 230V (mains)
- Engel swing compressor: virtually unbreakable, shock resistant
The Engel MR-040F is a 40-litre fridge-freezer cooler with a swing compressor, powered by 12V, 24V or 230V. Continuously adjustable from +10°C to -18°C, it consumes very little power (about 32 W) thanks to its patented compressor, immune to vibration and tilting. All-ABS housing resistant to corrosion, external digital thermometer included, virtually no maintenance required. A safe bet for a van, boat or motorhome, at the cost of a heavier build (about 22 kg) and a higher price.
We were able to follow several long-term user reports on the MR-040F, some having used it for more than a decade without a single breakdown: that's the reputation that built the Engel legend. The swing compressor lives up to its promise, even lying on its side in a boat that's heeling over. The external digital thermometer is a real day-to-day plus: no more opening the lid to check the temperature. Its fridge/freezer versatility across such a wide range (+10°C to -18°C) makes it a convincing two-in-one appliance. Two points to accept before buying: its weight (22 kg empty), which better suits fixed use (van, boat, motorhome) than frequent back-and-forth trips, and its price, well above thermoelectric or absorption electric coolers, but reflecting a durability rarely matched in this market.
Engel MT35F
1072.66€
The compact, digital-display size of the Engel classic: long-standing mechanical robustness, precise digital screen, 10cm shorter than the MT45F.
- Capacity : 32 litres
- Type : Compressor (Engel unit, digital screen)
- Temperature : Adjustable from -18°C to +10°C
- 10cm shorter than the MT45F, for near-identical usable capacity
The Engel MT35F (manufacturer reference MT35F-G3-S) is a 32-litre compressor cooler, adjustable from -18°C to +10°C via a digital screen, with a grey metallic casing 10cm shorter than the MT45F. Powered by 12V, 24V and 230V, it relies on the same long-standing mechanical robustness as the rest of the Engel range, a genuine asset for heavy use in a van, motorhome or boat. Sold directly through Engel's official store, in stock at the time of writing.
The MT35F carries forward Engel's proven mechanics in a more compact footprint than the MT45F, 10cm shorter while keeping usable capacity very close. That lower profile makes it easier to slide under a worktop or bench seat in an already tightly optimised van, a reason that comes up often among owners who chose it specifically for that fit rather than for any difference in volume. The digital screen allows precise adjustment from -18°C to +10°C, and the oscillating compressor holds the same promise of longevity as the rest of the range. The main thing to watch is price: the MT35F sells for slightly more than the MT45F on the official store despite its smaller capacity, a positioning gap worth knowing before comparing the two purely on volume. For anyone who genuinely values the lower height, it remains a sound pick within a range whose mechanical reliability speaks for itself.
Engel MT45F
1053.91€
The digital-display take on the Engel classic: precise LCD screen, the brand's long-standing mechanical robustness, in a versatile 40-litre size.
- Capacity : 40 litres
- Type : Compressor (Engel unit, digital LCD screen)
- Temperature : Adjustable from -18°C to +10°C
- Precise digital screen, only 38 dB at full load
The Engel MT45F (manufacturer reference MT45F-G3-S) is a 40-litre compressor cooler, adjustable from -18°C to +10°C via a digital LCD screen that shows the exact interior temperature. Powered by 12V, 24V and 230V, it draws around 32W at a maximum noise level of 38 dB. At 24 kg it leans on the Austrian brand's long-standing mechanical robustness rather than connectivity, at a price that reflects that reputation for longevity. Sold directly through Engel's official store, in stock at the time of writing.
The MT45F carries forward everything that built Engel's reputation, in a digital-display format that is more precise than the brand's purely mechanical versions. The oscillating compressor proves itself once again: long-term user feedback, some spanning several years of heavy use in a motorhome or on a boat, confirms reliability that rarely falters. The digital LCD screen is a real everyday improvement over dial versions, giving an exact temperature reading without opening the lid. Its maximum noise level of 38 dB makes it one of the quietest compressor coolers on the market, a point regularly praised. The same two trade-offs apply as with the rest of the Engel range: a 24 kg weight that suits a fairly fixed installation better than daily moving around, and a price noticeably above mainstream electric coolers, justified mostly by a mechanical durability rarely matched in this market.
