Greater than the sum of its parts.
REVIEW UNIT DIED Expensive compared to simple 12V car fridge Can’t be used as a freezer and refrigerator simultaneously Temperature disparity in app versus reality Self-cleaning mode for ice maker and a drain plug at the bottom of the unit Lid is removable USB outputs: 100W USB-C, 18W USB-A (only with battery inserted) 45-degree tilt protection Temperature range of -20C to 40C degrees (-4F to 104F) IPX4, so Bluetti didn’t test for dust, but it should survive getting caught in the rain 24kg / 52.9 pounds 40L / 42 quarts of storage With wheels and handle (L x W x H): 29.1 x 17.3 x 18.7in; 738 x 440 x 475mm Solar input: Voc 16V–28V / 10A max, 200W max (with battery inserted) Bluetooth connectivity only, no Wi-Fi It is now back with Bluetti, and a preliminary report suggests that my issue was caused by a heatsink detaching from a MOS tube — a critical voltage control element on the MultiCooler’s circuitry — possibly as a result of rough handling during shipment.
