Pros and Cons with this one.
on April 7, 2022

Have had this unit for about a year and am thankful that I havent had any compressor failures or anything of that sort. For the most part it functions as intended HOWEVER, the compressor makes a clunking/rattling noise if you drive over rough road or railroad tracks, or things of that nature. This is really annoying when you have the unit inside of an SUV that is essentially daily driven. There is no reason for this and the CFX3 SLD55 unit to make as much noise as they do. It should ride silently regardless of it being inside an SUV or mounted in the bed of a truck. The cfx3 app is also god awful. It doesn't work half the time whether your on bluetooth or connected via wifi. This app needs a substantial overhaul.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

CFX50W

Worked great for a year and a half then developed a pin hole in the compressor and leaked oil. Realized where the oil was coming from just as 2 year warranty expired. Could not be fixed. Was used for tailgating and backyard parties. Would not buy again and will find a more rugged solution.

Awesome enhancement of a perfect Cooler

I had the honor to be one of the first ones getting hands on this awesome Cooler. I had the CFX 50W before and was super happy with it because of the great performance and durability but as I heard that the CFX3 will have an Ice Maker on board I knew it's time for an upgrade. What an awesome enhancement! The Ice Maker is a real gamechanger for me and the new design is also awesome! I definetely recommend this cooler to everyone looking for the best without making compromises.

46 litres of chilled magic!

It’s one thing to keep it beautifully simple astride two motorcycles for 80,000 miles from Antarctica to the Arctic over nearly five years with nothing but a double-walled water bottle - that is, to keep our liquids hot or cold for a day - but when you migrate to a 4WD, you enter a brand new world of self-sufficiency.
Your means multiply ten fold, and all at the push of a button. Gratifyingly, we have been bestowed with a total lifestyle change on the road. Namely through the ability to refrigerate (or freeze) our food in a portable CFX3 55IM and keep it charged with a PLB 40 handheld Lithium battery.

Good but ....

The unit appears to be well built and functions well, however, I did find some issues with it.
1) The manual instructions are nearly useless and not the same as what is found on-line which are somewhat better.
2) The "ice maker" is a useless joke and I immediately removed it to make more room. I would only be suitable for a "barbie" size house.
3) It is very unfortunate that Dometic does not facilitate the direct connection of the unit to a 12 volt fuse block (without having to go through their very expensive proprietary plug connection which just adds another connection where one loses power).
4) Nothing showed signs of freezing until it was set to as low at 27 - 26 degrees (and the only hint of freezing was at the very bottom of the compartment).
5) The unit is a bit noisier than I expected, but then again this is the first time I have purchased such a unit.
6) The wire baskets appear to be flimsy.
All that said, I am hopeful that the unit is as good as the price indicates it should be. However, it does have a bit of a learning curve (especially in regards to the temperature issues).

You couldn't ask for more from a powered cooler

Does everything it's supposed to do, dependably. More features than I could ever expect from a mobile cooler. And this has proven to be rugged in gnarly conditions. Ice is an added bonus and puts this cooler into a league of it's own.
