Whitney's Review of DOMETIC CFX3 Powered Coolers

Fantastic on all fronts: 1) CampSaver processed our order quickly & had the cooler shipped out very promptly, thank you. 2) Product arrived in perfect condition. 3) The cooler is awesome and packs more than we’d assume! Example) for my wife and I, we have the CFX3-35 fitted to the slide rack in the back of our Sub Outback, it’s hooked up to a Goal Zero Yeti 500 that charges from the car’s 12v or 100w solar panels. For a 5 day trip, with mostly sunny conditions, stored in a hot car we ran the cooler at 37F. The cooler ran efficiently and we maintained ~80% charge on the battery while running the cooler, recharging the camps phones, GPS, & flashlights; with better panel management, fewer clouds, or using the battery for nothing else, we’d probably have kept the battery fully charged. While our camp mates were making ice runs to refill ice chests, we were playing. Also great, since there’s no ice, we packed the cooler tight and easily fit as much in the cooler as we could into a comparably sized ice chest (1 gallon chili, 4 lbs salmon, 4 lbs brisket, 2quarts rice, 2 wine bottles, 1dozen eggs, 6-8 cans, tortillas, butter, 2liters water). Unpacking is a cinch, pull the basket out and take it inside to unload, wipe down the cooler, drop in a desiccant pack, and you’re done.
