We picked up the CFX345 to use as a secondary fridge to supplement the built in fridge in our van. The primary fridge is great for weekend-4/5 day long trips, but for longer stints it just was not large enough. Now, we can comfortable set out for week+ trips visiting the store once in a while. This will also allow us to save by shopping once at a less expensive store vs many trips to a boutique market. Better for the environment too. Less plastic from the bags of ice that goes into the cooler while be completely powered off a solar system with battery storage. I am pleased with how quiet it is, how quick and got to 39 degrees from 71 (in a matter of about 16 minutes). Light yet rugged enough. This fridge checks many boxes and fits the bill perfectly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Game Changer!! (DC cord issue resolution)

Absolutely love this thing. It's efficient and quiet, and not having to deal with ice is SO nice! We bouth this unit and protective cover, along with the PLB40, Faucet & Jug, and Hard Cases, and they are all great.
We did have some trouble with our DC cord, and CS sent a replacement after we read a few reports of people having an issue with theirs. We ended up replacing just the tip of the cord (unscrewing the tip like you do to access the 2-pin DC), and that fixed it, so clearly that was the problem.

The quality of this fridge is well worth the price! It keeps my goods at the desired temperature without any issue. The space is perfect and I love the sizing.

PERFECT for my Nissan NV camper van conversion!

Dometic is the go-to brand for everything camper van related for good reason! I love my Dometic cooler and AC unit in my Nissan NV camper van conversion, which I've lived in for 2 years. My original Dometic cooler was a really old unit purchased years ago and when it was time to upgrade, I was really worried that this new cooler might not fit between the front two seats of my Nissan (the location of my first Dometic). I was THRILLED to share that even though the dimensions are different, the CFX3-45 is a perfect fit between my two front seats! In my opinion, this is the ideal location for a cooler in a camper van build because it allows for the rest of the van to be used for storage, toilet, trash containers, and everything else you need in a tiny home on wheels. My 240 watts solar runs this cooler like a breeze and I can stay off-grid indefinitely (until I have to get more food & water, that is). Highly recommend and love this cooler!

Way better than using a roto-molded cooler!

I have been using roto-molded coolers for several years now however I always hated worrying if my ice will last and if everything in my cooler is going to be floating in water after a few days. With the CFX3 45 and the PLB40 I am able to power the fridge for days and keep everything at the perfect temperature. On my last campout I turned the temperature down to keep stuff frozen and was able to surprise my buddies with ice cream after a few days in the backcountry.
I am not even considering going back to a standard cooler.

Works, but...

This thing works well, but the compressor began to rattle. Because I couldn't provide a receipt Dometic denied to help. Someone wrote a review of his 55 that rattled as well. That is unacceptable when you want to take it off road, but I had only used on road. Time for another brand.

Great size for a 4runner

Having used a CFX 40 for over a year, the 45 is a great step up. It really doesn’t take up any more space, but the fact it’s a hair bigger is great. The new controls, handles, and design makes it a perfect fridge for our 4runner

Stylish, function and cool

Got this little workhorse a few weeks ago and I keep finding new ways to use it. I have plugged it in at home for extra freezer space, used it in my van as a cooler, and in my truck as a fridge while traveling. It really brings a whole new level of convenience, without worrying about my food getting water logged. Highly recommended
