## Description

From the manufacturer Dual modes for powerful cooling or energy saving Need your items cooled quickly? Then select HH mode to use the full power of the refrigeration system.

Wide temperature range Choose the perfect temperature Its efficient refrigeration system can reach temperatures as low as -22℃*, no matter how hot it is outside. Easily and precisely adjust the temperature to choose between cooling or freezing. Suitable for a variety of storage needs, from food and drinks, to medicines and breast milk. Keeps cool with the power off Items stay cool for 48 hours Insulated with high density foam, the Philips TB5101/5301 minimizes heat transfer, locking in cool temperatures for longer. So even with the power off, food and drinks will stay cool for up to 48 hours. Great for outdoors activities (such as camping), when you want to turn the engine off but still keep your food, drinks and medicines fresh.

Review: One of the Best, serve it’s purpose - After a lot of research I chose this one over the tropicool as it’s more stylish and decent looking and great quality. Also I didn’t want semi-conductor technology fridge as it’s not reliable under hot temperatures. Bought from seller: PRIME FAST What you can fit in: 20Beer Cans or 6 full bottles of beer Ample 16.5 L storage Noise level is low so don’t worry about that, it’s quiet when you talk in car or play music Used this on a short road trip of 2hr30mins it can actually chill your cans (set temperature -22 and full power mode) if lid is unopened during that period of time. By it’s performance I can vouch that within 4hrs it can really make the items chilled. Note: when you setup this in your car, area should not be closed as it dissipates heat, ventilated/open area is good. In the trunk you can simply remove the dashboard for hear to vent out, it’s not that much heat won’t affect your car AC cooling. If you plan to keep on the seat it will take one passenger seat Took this on a road trip temperature set for -22 so that compressor doesn’t cut early, kept 15beer cans super chilled and mutton frozen. Also tried with 6 750ml bottles, they were chilled even after the fridge was off for an hour.
Review: Bad product and worst customer service - The fridge stopped working within 6 months just after using once. Philips customer support has no clue about this product. Seller "Air expert India" is unresponsive. Despite calls, Whatsapp messages and emails, no response from them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Solid Car Fridge, Keep Everything Chilled.
*by S***A on 15 June 2024*

Philips portable fridge is great!! Once powered on, it can cool to freezing -2° within 10 to 15 mins. It's can go -22° depends on the settings. The motor is fairly quite, can't really tell its on when in open space. We take it with us when we are taking a road trip, or having picnic at the park or at the beach. Keeps all of our foods and drinks cold. One thing I noticed it come with DC adaptor for car use but doesn't come with AC power adaptor for if I want to use in my home. its not a big deal but it will be nice if it comes with one. So I purchased DC to Ac adapter from Amazon itself.. But overall its a pretty nice fridge, and good amount of space. Value of money and Quality excellent.
