## Description

An electric cooler that doesn’t require ice – but it makes it. Nice. Holds up to 84 cans, so it’s a go-to for long weekends with friends or as a travel fridge. Vacuum Insulated Panels deliver outstanding insulation, the lid’s gasket seals tight, and the compressor takes it down to -7F degrees. Control it with our smartphone app, power it with our optional Obsidian solar panels, and a bottle opener’s built in.

Review: Buy once, cry once - this is the best cooler available - I'd been using a $250 Chinese cooler for sometime - ran fine on 12V from my truck forever and then when I needed it, it died. I did all the research and discovered that the Dometic - while more money than most - was simply the best and most reliable fridge / freezer available. It's evacuated walls insulate the cooler without added weight and keep my food cold...I set it at 36 degrees and walk away. It's a perfect size for me (45L) and I can store food for 2 people for a week without issue. It's very simple to use, with connections available via Bluetooth to monitor the fridge from around the truck. It comes with a divider that helps keep things organized - and I chose to equip mine with an optional durable protective cover (sold separately) to keep it from getting dinged and scratched. It's very quiet - and uses almost no electricity (15-25w when running cold. )
Review: Low power consumption for excellent cooling is just outstanding - I bought this as a damaged item from Dometics desertcart page with a nice cost reduction. Had no idea how bad the damage was, (no pictures) but a $300 discount was worth checking out. Damage is cosmetic and on one side and no effect on operation. Not a big deal to me, since its likely to get bumps and bangs during use anyway. This is a great refrigerator/cooler in every way. As others have said, built like a tank. I used it in both A/C mode and DC 12v mode. Using my Yetti 3000, it was drawing 7 watts in standby and 80 watts with compressor running. But, in 12v DC mode, it drew zero in standby and only 55 watts with compressor running. I ran it for 24 hours and the draw was only 7% on the Yetti 3000. Really great news, just how long it will run without charging the Yetti. I also have solar, so this unit should run as long as I need. Note, that if your using a power supply (not vehicle) change the voltage setting to "low" otherwise you will get a yellow warning message saying low voltage. With setting at low using the Yetti there was no message. This unit is also very quiet, it was so quiet that I wasn't sure it was working when I first plugged it in. The temperature shown is about 2 degrees colder than what I have it set at. But, I would rather it be colder than warmer. I was not able to get the bluetooth to connect, but suspect its more of a phone issue and not a cooler issue. Plus don't think I will really need that and I have so many apps on my phone was happy to eliminate one. This is a great unit, just so happy with it. UPDATE 9-9-22 after using the Dometic on four trips. Works flawlessly, a bit heavy when fully loaded. On my last trip the Dometic 35 stopped working when on 12v but worked fine on 110v. Issue is not, let me repeat, is not the Dometic but rather the Yetti Goal Zero 3,000. Found out the cigarette lighter output on the Yetti Lithium 3,000 is not regulated and when battery reached 47%, the voltage dropped to 10.8v and the Dometic refrigerator will not run on that lower voltage. Yetti sells a cigarette lighter adapter that is regulated, but you have to spend another $48 for this on (w tax/shipping) very disappointing that the Yetti power supply will only work on 12v when battery is over 47%, unless you spend extra. The Yetti 3,000X doesn’t need this regulator, but the Yetti 3,000 lithium does. Important info for Yetti users. My Solar 100 briefcase supplies more than enough power to run the Dometic on full sun. Just love how cold the Dometic is for very little watts.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality and Adaptability
*by T***N on October 13, 2024*

The Dometic CFX3 100 is an exceptional cooler and freezer that blends durability with superior functionality. Its generous 100-liter capacity is ideal for long journeys, while the VMSO3 variable motor speed optimization technology ensures effective cooling and freezing, even in harsh environments. I have adjusted the temperature from about -5F for freezing to the suggested 39F for standard food cooling. A standout feature is the Bluetooth app control which enables remote temperature monitoring and adjustment to about a distance of 30ft. That can come in handy while driving in the backcountry with the cooler in the back of a vehicle. The unit's sturdy construction makes it well-suited for outdoor activities. However, the cover, which must be purchased separately, is challenging to install on this cooler/freezer. The CFX3-100 is expensive, but its quality and warranty set it apart. The CFX3-100 remains a dependable and adaptable mobile refrigerator for any travel arrangement or emergency scenario. It works well on 120-volt home current or 12-24 volts with the cigarette lighter vehicle socket. It also functions well on various retail available lithium battery power stations.
