Best coolers
"So happy with my cooler/refrigerator. . . keeps everything fresh and work better than I could have ever expected. Would definitely recommend to friends and family."
When power and space allow, consider an Engel MT-series fridge-freezer. Every Engel fridge-freezer is capable of keeping contents fresh - or frozen - wherever you roam. Freeze food to last you on long trips, or set the temperature control to keep fresh food and drinks chilled. All Engel fridge-freezers feature the Engel "Swing Motor" compressor. Highly efficient, it typically draws around 1 to 2 Amps per hour (check the specs for each individual model), about 40% less than a traditional compressor. Engel fridge-freezers run on battery power, 12V/24V DC, or 110/120V AC. So whether you're on the road, on the water, or safe at home, you can use your Engel to make life a little easier.

"So happy with my cooler/refrigerator. . . keeps everything fresh and work better than I could have ever expected. Would definitely recommend to friends and family."
"Managed to stuff the MT27 in the back of my work vehicle, where it's been for a year. Having cold drinks and healthy meals on long shifts has been a game changer. I can stack 3 Pyrex meal dishes and two 48 ounce Nalgene water bottles in it. It cools down fast and uses very little power; maybe 20ah in a 24 hour period. I set it halfway between 1 and 2 and it stays around 30-32f inside. The only con I can think of is the Transit Bag. It fits, but obstructs the knob. I suppose that's why Engel no longer offers it for this model."
"Product was shipped in a timely manner and was packaged well. I got this unit to use as a freezer in our pickup camper. We also have an Engel SR 70 fridge/ freezer in our camper. Both units work great. Great company to do business with."
"Well made, extremely well insulated. I am very happy with this cooler. Fits behind the front seat in truck."
"Had to replace my Engel MT27 that lasted me 12 years much of which was nonstop. Replaced it with the same model and hope to get another 12 years. Great and quick ordering process."
"Love my Engel! Keeps my food frozen or refrigerated and is very energy efficient."
"Bought an MT-27 almost a decade ago and it has served us well on our sailboat 6mos/year (DC), at our house (AC) as well as in our Jeep on road trips (DC). When it started acting up, I contacted Customer Support to inquire about shipping it in for repairs. They encouraged me to talk to tech support to see if it might be an easy repair I could do myself. Turns out it was and my MT-27 is running like a champ again, ready for another decade of adventures. In the meantime we already ordered a 2nd one just to have the extra capacity. Also turns out that "tech support" was the owner, Paul. He was very helpful and very patient w/me through the process. I've had other sailors tell me of their similarly positive experience w/Engel. A+"
"This is our second Engel. It’s working great. We misplaced a screw fot the handle, and Engel sent 2 more immediately."
"Wife saw reviews, planning on road tripping this year with young daughter. Had never thought about looking into a small refrigerator for travel. Put it to the test along with Eco-Flow generador and both are a beauty. Will highly recommend, very easy to use!"
"Bought this cooler to augment my 9 yr old M27F which has been running 24/7 for the last 4 yrs. One for frozen and one for frigid. Great product and service."
