Bought this a few weeks ago for car camping - not the smallest or lightest piece of kit but the volume and separate freezer capability tipped the choice. Fully laden with food and drink and it will likely require two people to lift in and out. I have a Goal Zero YETI 500X and a Nomad 100 Solar Panel - with the unit set at -10C for freezer and 4C for fridge it’s drawing ~35W on the 12V outlet which means the solar panel easily keeps the YETI fully recharged during day, even if we’re using the YETI for recharging mobile devices, laptops or powering camp lights. Runs very quiet, can hardly hear it. Very pleased with purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi David,
We are so happy to hear that you've gotten a lot of use out of the CFX3 75DZ fridge and that you've enjoyed the dual-zone fridge/freezer functionality.
The cooler is great, with a few exceptions. I have not been able to connect via Bluetooth or WiFi and the instructions are not very good. Also, the 12v adapter does not work with my Yeti 400 Lithium, so I have to use the inverter and plug it in via the 110v plug. In this mode, I think I'll get between 16-18 hours without a recharge.
One of the best add ons to our Toyota Tacoma. Being able to have our lobster tails frozen and cook them out in the middle of nowhere is just priceless. Lets not forget having icecream as we see shooting starts.
This cooler is amazing, I got it because I travel for work for extended periods of time and wanted to be able to fit all my food when hotels didn’t provide a good sized refrigerator. It will also come in handy when I drive to new locations, look forward to using it off the grid as well, the possibilities are endless. The CFX3 75DZ does exactly what I was hoping it would, have yet to connect it to WiFi but will in the future. It’s a steep price so unless you can justify the need but I would recommend it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you very much for this lovely 5-star review!
Right now I'm sheltering in place, during the pandemic. I realized that my regular refrigerator didn't have too much capacity. I wanted another freezer, so I wouldn't have to go into town as often. I bought two of these, the Dometic CFX3 75DZ. They are awesome! So spacious inside, and so good-looking outside! The app lets me see the interior temperatures, by looking at my phone. Perfect. The interior light is awesome. And they're really quiet, which is appreciated. I have never used Dometic refrigerators/freezers before, so I had to get accustomed to the speed of cooling. I happens gradually, unlike a home fridge which is fast. But once it's below zero, it stays there. That's what counts. The bottom line? I might never need to go into town for 2-3 months. And these days, that's awesome. Thank you, Dometic.
We had hesitations about switching from our old CFX65W because we loved it so much. We really wanted a dual zone but didn't know if it would fit or if it would use more electricity. Well I'm glad we decided to switch because not only does it not use more power, we got it to fit perfectly and can finally keep ice cream in our new freezer compartment! We are very happy with our CFX3-75DZ.
