FridgeFreeze portable 12-volt vaccine refrigerator and medical freezer

Frequently Asked Questions & Answers

Q: How does FridgeFreeze vaccine refrigerator/freezer performance compare to other portable fridge/freezers?

A: Absolutely no comparison. The FridgeFreeze vaccine refrigerator/ freezer will keep food and drinks colder in the hottest environment with minimal AMP draw.

The FridgeFreeze vaccine refrigerator/freezer was tested in the Arizona desert when the outside temperature was 115 degrees Fahrenheit. It maintained an inside temperature of 28 degrees and was drawing only 3.8 amps. It draws only 2.3 amps in 85-degree temperature. [top]

Q: Why is the FridgeFreeze vaccine refrigerator/freezer more efficient than other portable fridge/freezers?

A: The FridgeFreeze vaccine refrigerator/freezer is so efficient because it uses the entire outside casing as the condenser to dissipate heat. We can do this because the casing is made of marine grade aluminum. All other portable vaccine fridge/freezers use a fan and an external condenser. The problem with this method is that a fan increases the amp draw and the external condenser is susceptible to corrosion and breakage. [top]

Q: How does the FridgeFreeze vaccine refrigerator/freezer quality compare to other portable refrigerator/freezers?

A: Absolutely no comparison. Our FridgeFreeze vaccine refrigerator/ freezer is built to last for years. The casing is anodized aluminum, not plastic or painted steel that will rust. We use solid anodized aluminum handles that have been tested up to a half-ton lifting load. The ABS lid is painted twice with a UV protectant to resist fading. All electronic components are the best we can find or manufacture. [top]

Q: What is the warranty period?

A: All parts and labor are warranted for 1 year. FridgeFreeze will allow the return of up to 10 units in an initial order for a period of 60 days for a full refund. Units ordered in excess of 10 units cannot be returned.

We manufacture each FridgeFreeze vaccine refrigerator/freezer in San Diego, California and we can service them at the same location. Other portable fridge/freezers, although sold in the United States, are manufactured overseas. [top]

Q: How long will the FridgeFreeze vaccine refrigerator/freezer run on one deep cycle battery?

A: Typically the FridgeFreeze vaccine refrigerator/freezer will run for two to four days, depending on ambient temperature and how frequently the lid is opened and closed. This is based on an isolated battery that is not connected to a charging system. However, if the battery is connected to a 12-volt auto or boat charging system, the FridgeFreeze vaccine refrigerator/ freezer should run indefinitely. If the FridgeFreeze vaccine refrigerator/freezer will be used in an automobile, we recommend installing a deep cycle battery in addition to the starting battery. The vehicle's alternator then recharges the deep cycle battery whenever the automobile is running. [top]

Q: Can you stand the FridgeFreeze vaccine refrigerator/freezer up on end?

A: No, you never should tilt the FridgeFreeze vaccine refrigerator/ freezer more than 30 degrees. [top]

Q: Can a FridgeFreeze vaccine refrigerator/freezer be wired through a cigarette lighter receptacle?

A: Yes, we also sell a cigarette lighter adapter. [top]

Q: How will the FridgeFreeze vaccine refrigerator/freezer perform on a boat?

A: The FridgeFreeze vaccine refrigerator/freezer is built for the marine environment. All materials are corrosion resistant aluminum, brass, stainless steel, or ABS plastic. The bottom of the FridgeFreeze vaccine refrigerator/freezer has skid resistant rubber pads. It makes an excellent marine refrigerator or freezer. [top]
