Capacity, per the listing

Roughly a long weekend for two. The listing also states a range down to -8 °F. Baskets and dividers eat some of it, so think in lunch boxes and milk cartons, not just in cans.

Why it made our list

What changes on your trips

23 qt, per the listing. A long weekend for two, or the drinks and lunches of a family day out, without an ice bag in sight. Our capacity guide turns that number into meals.

-8 °F to 50 °F, stated. Cold enough to run it as a freezer, so ice packs and frozen meals are on the menu. A compressor holds that setting whatever the cabin heat, within the limits in the manual. Put a thermometer in anyway; our camping food guide says why.

3-level battery protection. It cuts the fridge off before your starter battery runs too low, with a low, medium or high threshold to pick. Handy overnight, though it doesn't tell you how much charge is left. Our battery protection guide explains the settings.

Weekend trips or a week off-grid?

For weekend trips, 23 qt holds drinks and food until the next grocery stop. It pre-chills from the wall socket at home the night before.

For a week off-grid, battery protection looks after the starter battery when the car sits for days.

On balance it shines on short trips; a week off-grid takes more power planning.

Great for you if…

You want our #1 12V fridge
You want a fridge that fits behind the seats
You want frozen food to stay frozen, not just cold
You trust a long track record: 3,094 buyer reviews

Skip it if…

What BougeRV promises

The seller states, word for word, in the BougeRV CR22 23 Qt listing:

The CR22 12V refrigerator comes with a 2-year Tech Support.
With ECO energy saving mode, this 23 Qt portable refrigerator's operating power is about 45W.
This camping fridge also has a shock-proof design to face the uneven road, operating with no problem in case of a 30 ° inclination when you are off-road.
The RV fridge/freezer is equipped with a 3-level battery monitor to prevent the fridge from draining your vehicle's battery.

Their words and their figures, not our measurements.

Capacity, cooling and what's in the box

What the BougeRV CR22 23 Qt listing names:

23 qt of stated capacity
Single zone
-8 °F to 50 °F, stated
12/24V DC and AC
Battery protection, ECO and MAX modes
22.68 × 12.6 × 12.97 in outside

What the listing names with it: DC power cord, 6.56 ft AC power cord, User manual.

Tick them off on delivery day, before the cardboard goes out.

That is the seller's promise, not ours. Keep the receipt with the manual.

Measure the spot in the car with the luggage in and the lid open before the box arrives.

Price and cost per quart of stated capacity

$199.99 Price on Sep 30, 2026 · may have changed

At the price on Sep 30, 2026, each stated quart of capacity costs about $8.70. That puts it in the pricier third of the 65 12V fridges we have a price for.

Only a rough yardstick: zones, battery, app and warranty count as much as the size.

The button opens the exact listing (ASIN B0BPM6XDH2), where today's price, stock and seller apply. Sizes and bundles of the same family often sit at different prices.

A better fit for your trips?

Need room for longer trips? The ICECO VL60 Dual-Zone (9.3/10) states 60 L (63.4 qt).

Want fresh and frozen at once? The ICECO GO20 Dual-Zone (7.8/10) has two independent zones, per its listing.

Want to set it from your phone? The EUHOMY 19 Qt Car Fridge (7.7/10) lists app control.

Our take

The verdict

If a friend asked us for one 12V fridge, we'd point them to the BougeRV CR22 23 Qt. 3,094 buyers back that up with 4.6/5, about as reassuring as a review record gets. Our main reservation: there's no app in the listing, so every temperature change means reaching the panel in the back. If it fits your car and your socket, this is the one we'd load for our own road trip. If your numbers don't fit, the EUHOMY 19 Qt Car Fridge is the next one to look at.

Living with it

The night before

Plug it into the wall at home and let it pull down overnight, then load cold food, not warm. The seller quotes 50 minutes from 77 °F to 32 °F, so an hour gives you margin.

On the road

Plug it into a 12V or 24V socket and set the battery protection, and open the lid as little as you can stand on a hot day.

At camp

Keep it in the shade, leave the vents breathing and keep a thermometer inside. Our cleaning guide covers the wipe-down after the trip.

What buyers say

Buyers give it 4.6/5, an excellent record, well above this ranking's 4.3 average. And with 3,094 reviews behind it, that number is hard to argue with.

The one thing we'd check first

Before you add the BougeRV CR22 23 Qt to your cart: check the space, because 22.68 × 12.6 × 12.97 in has to fit where it will ride, with the lid open and air around the vents.

Before you buy

The space

Cut a piece of cardboard to the fridge's footprint, put it where the fridge will ride with the bags loaded, and picture the lid open. Our fridge fit planner does the maths.

The socket

Check that your car's 12V socket stays live with the ignition off, then set the battery protection to the level your battery can live with. Our power connections guide has the checklist.

The food

A display shows a setting, not the temperature of every container, so keep a cheap fridge thermometer inside. Our camping food guide explains why.

The paperwork

Look up who handles the warranty, and keep the receipt with the manual.
