BougeRV CR22 23-Quart Portable Refrigerator/Freezer, 12/24V DC and 110V AC

Compressor cooling lets the BougeRV CR22 chill without ice, so food and drinks can travel in a dedicated refrigerator or freezer instead of sharing space with melting ice. Its 23-quart capacity and portable chest design make it practical for road trips, camping, and other outings where access to chilled supplies matters.

Power it from a vehicle’s 12/24V DC outlet or use the included AC adapter with a wall outlet or power station. With a DC cord, AC adapter, and user manual in the package, the CR22 is ready to fit into different travel and indoor setups.

Benefits

The compressor is designed to cool from 77°F to 32°F in 15 minutes and from 77°F to -5°F in 50 minutes. That quick cooling is useful when preparing for a trip or loading groceries before heading out. The stated temperature range is -8°F to 50°F, allowing the unit to serve as either a refrigerator or freezer depending on what you need to keep cold.

Unlike an ice chest that relies on ice, this unit provides active compressor cooling, leaving the interior available for food and drinks. Why give up cooler space to ice when you can use a powered refrigerator instead? Its 23-quart size offers a compact way to bring chilled provisions along, while the chest-style, single-section layout keeps everything together.

What matters most

The CR22 supports 12/24V DC for use with vehicles such as cars, trucks, RVs, campers, vans, and boats. An AC adapter is also included for use with a wall outlet or power station, so the same refrigerator can serve on the road and in an indoor setup. The stated operating power is about 45W in ECO mode and up to 60W in MAX mode. A three-level battery protection setting lets you choose the voltage at which the refrigerator shuts off, helping manage vehicle battery use.

For travel on uneven roads, its shock-proof design is specified for operation at an incline of up to 30°. The product is also rated at 45 dB. Customer feedback often praises the cooling speed, portability, and quiet operation. Temperature control experiences are mixed: some buyers say it holds the set temperature consistently, while others report difficulty maintaining it. For care, keep the refrigerator out of direct sunlight, as sunlight may deform the door.

Who it’s for

The CR22 suits travelers who want chilled or frozen food without packing ice, including campers and people taking road trips in a compatible vehicle. It can also work as a portable refrigerator for an indoor gathering, with the included AC adapter providing an outlet-powered setup. Compared with a traditional ice chest, it’s the more fitting approach when active cooling and the option to switch between refrigerator and freezer use are priorities. Its listed dimensions are 22.68 inches deep, 12.6 inches wide, and 12.97 inches high, useful details when planning where it will sit or how it will fit in a vehicle.

Final verdict

Choose the BougeRV CR22 when you need a portable 23-quart refrigerator that can run from vehicle DC power or an AC outlet, cool without ice, and handle either refrigeration or freezing. Its mix of flexible power options, quick-cooling specifications, and battery protection makes it a practical fit for road trips, camping, and portable food storage.
