Why it scored a 84
The Anker SOLIX EverFrost 2 40L tops the category because it is the only fridge here that runs without a car or a wall outlet. Features score 96: a removable 288Wh battery, four ways to recharge including a 100W solar panel and USB-C, and 52 hours at 39°F on one battery. Quality sits at 88 and owners rate it 4.6 stars. The caveats are price and sample size. At $699.99 value lands at 78, and 113 ratings keep reliability at 82 until the design has more miles on it. It also weighs 56.2 pounds.

Should you buy the Anker SOLIX EverFrost 2 40L?
The Anker SOLIX EverFrost 2 40L is for campers who park away from power for days, or who want cold food at a beach or tailgate with the engine off. At $699.99 it ranks #1 of 10 in our 12V Portable Fridges category. If you always drive with the fridge plugged in, the BougeRV CR22 23-Qt does the core job for $169.99. If you want a bigger box without a battery, the ICECO JP50 Pro is the pick.
Where it earns its score
- It runs on its own battery. The included 288Wh pack gives up to 52 hours at 39°F, and a second pack stretches that to 4.3 days.
- Four ways to recharge. A 100W solar panel, car socket, wall outlet or USB-C cord can all top it up, so a dead car battery is not your problem.
- Fast pull-down. Anker lists 77°F to 32°F in about 15 minutes, with Max, Eco and Smart modes to trade speed for runtime.
- Strong early ratings. Owners give it 4.6 stars, which drives a Satisfaction score of 90.
What to know first
- Warranty is the lowest factor at 66. Anker's 2-year coverage is shorter than the 5-year compressor terms on the ICECO models.
- Value scores 78. At $699.99 you pay roughly $530 more than the BougeRV CR22 23-Qt for the battery and wheels.
- Heavy and new. It weighs 56.2 pounds, and 113 ratings is a thin sample, which keeps Reliability at 82 for now.
