Sizing it up.. my power cooler arrived.. ICECO GO20 Dual Zone

[jjswan33]

Hey all,

Amazon delivered my ICECO GO20 Dual Zone cooler this morning. Thought I would post some photos.

It’s not the largest cooler/refrigerator/freezer but it fits in the gear tunnel or the front trunk. Will add more details as I try it out.



First test and experience. Plugged into the house via 110. Set the freezer side to 0 and the other side to 35. Took about 30 minutes to get to temp. Then I put a cup of water in both sides (~50-60 starting temp) and after 1 hour the cup on the freezer side was starting to freeze and the cup on the fridge side was around 40-45 degrees. Overall seems to cool well.

Also the app is ok, very basic but you can control the temp settings and monitor the temp. One other note regarding the included cords, kinda odd but to use the AC adapter you have to use both cables, the DC cable plugs into the cooler and then to the AC cable to the wall.

Energy Draw Test with compressor on:
33W with DC power
41W with AC power

This is exiting I have been looking around even though I haven't gotten the truck yet. This is exactly what i have been looking at something dual zone and with an app. How is the app and I'm curious how it affects your range or if you even notice the extra power usage. Looks plenty big enough I know there are other much larger setups out there but as far as I'm concerned I would used this for food and a cooler in the bed for the drinks.

Thats a nice price. How well does it cool? I assume it will run on 12v

I guess I didn't even realize there was an app. I'll be sure to add more details and impressions as I try it out, literally just showed up an hour ago

Yes it came with both 110V and 12V cables.

Nice to have a compact dual zone option that fits in the various enclosed spaces. I still wish my Dometic 95DZ would fit under the bed cover, but this should be a good option for short trips and is easy to just leave in the vehicle.

You won't notice the range loss. Looks like this draws around 50 watts peak which is about the same as charging a couple iPhones. Put another way, you'd need to run it for 9 hours at max draw to take off a mile of rated range.

If I may ask, does that fridge fit in the dip if you removed the frunk's shelf? Thanks.

Pros and cons of using 12V vs 120?

You would use AC at the house before a trip to cool the unit down then when you stick it into the truck to go on your trip it just has to maintain that temp. At least with an ice vehicle that's how you would do it I plan to keep my fridge going in the vehicle all the time pretty much. less moving it around.

Can you actually open it from the cabin when it's in the tunnel?

Would lack of airflow be a concern in the frunk?

Not really, it will go below the false floor but only a few inches before it gets wedged.

Kinda, it‘s very tight.

I bought the same a few weeks ago based on measurements. Just waiting on the actual truck... (May-June). Glad to have the confirmation that it fits. The one thing the reviews mention and I've noticed is that the 12v plug, isn't designed the best and can wiggle out if not otherwise secured.

Thanks for posting!
