Product Overview

The Alpicool GES55 is a versatile portable refrigerator designed for both vehicle and home use, featuring dual compartments with independent temperature control.

Independent 2-Lid Design: The refrigerator features two independent lids, allowing separate access to each compartment. This design helps prevent temperature fluctuations in one compartment when the other is opened and prevents flavors from mixing. The lid opening direction can also be adjusted for convenience.

3-Way Power Supply: This unit supports DC 12V/24V for vehicles (cars, trucks) and AC 100V-240V for household use. It can also be powered by a portable power supply (sold separately) for extended outdoor use, making it suitable for various scenarios including camping, outdoor events, and emergency situations.

Product Components and Accessories: The diagram shows the main parts of the refrigerator, including the seal strip, lid locks, LED interior light, control panel, built-in handle, compressor compartment, and power input terminal. Included accessories are the DC power cord (approx. 2.5m), AC power cord with adapter (approx. 2.2m), and the instruction manual.

Integrated Bottle Opener: A convenient bottle opener is integrated into the design, useful for camping or BBQ when you might forget to bring one.

LED Interior Light: An LED light is built into the interior. It automatically turns on when the lid is opened and turns off when closed, providing visibility in dark environments.

Shockproof Design with Fixing Holes: The refrigerator is designed to operate stably even when tilted up to 45 degrees. It includes fixing holes on the side for secure installation in a vehicle using a separate fixing belt.
