◆Appearance check
The appearance of the 'BougeRV CR Lite 9L' is as follows. The size is 46 cm wide, 32.8 cm deep, and 26.1 cm high.
On the top, the lid of the cooler is on the left and the control panel is on the right.
This is what the cooler looks like when you open the lid. The inside dimensions of the 9L cooler are 25cm wide, 21.5cm deep, and 17cm high.
The control panel has an LED light on the left side that displays the internal temperature and the set temperature, and on the right side are the temperature control and power buttons.
There is a handle on the front of the unit to open the lid.
There is a power connector on the right side of the unit, and the mesh area around it is the air vent for the refrigerator and freezer.
There is also a vent on the left side of the back of the device.
There is nothing on the left side of the unit.
There are four plastic feet on the bottom of the unit.
There are holes on the four corners for attaching a band or other accessories, so you can attach your favorite band to it for easy carrying. Note that bands are not included.
In addition to the main unit, various cables, adapters, and an instruction manual were included.
I took the cables and adapters out of the bag. From the left, there is the power adapter, the power cable, and the cable for the car power supply.
It looks like this when you hold it in your hand. The weight of the main unit alone is about 6 kg, and with the power adapter and power cable it is about 6.4 kg.
◆I actually tried it
I'll try using the BougeRV CR Lite 9L right away. When using it for the first time, lightly rinse the inside of the cabinet with water to remove any resin-like odors.
After drying the inside of the cabinet, you can place it wherever you like. In this case, make sure that the right side of the unit (the side where the power adapter is connected) and the vent on the back are at least 15 cm away from the surrounding walls.
Simply insert the power adapter into the power terminal on the right side of the main unit and connect the power cable to a power outlet.
When I pressed the power button, the temperature inside the cabinet was displayed. A low operating sound of 'Whirring ...' was heard from the main unit, and a faint vibration was also transmitted when placed on a desk.
The temperature can be adjusted from 20 degrees to minus 20 degrees, and it can quickly cool the inside temperature from 25 degrees to minus 20 degrees in 40 minutes. This time, with nothing in the cabinet, the inside temperature was 24 degrees and the set temperature was set to 0 degrees. The room temperature was a little high at 29 degrees.
As time passes, the internal temperature displayed on the operation panel will gradually decrease. After about 15 minutes of operation, the internal temperature will drop to 10 degrees.
The temperature inside the cabinet reached 0 degrees in just over 20 minutes after cooling began.
When you put your hand in, you can feel the coolness of the air.
The coldness was felt not only from inside but also from the sides of the main body.
I actually put a drink in it and cooled it. The 'BougeRV CR Lite 9L' can hold 12 350ml cans or 6 600ml plastic bottles. 350ml cans can also be lined up vertically.
Three 500-600ml plastic bottles were lined up side by side.
The 700ml plastic bottles that you occasionally see can just about fit in if you hold them at an angle.
Unfortunately, it doesn't fit a 2L plastic bottle.
If you fill it up, you can fit two 500ml plastic bottles, one 600ml plastic bottle, one 700ml plastic bottle, and three 350ml cans. Note that if you put a lot of food and drink in the cabinet, it will take longer for the temperature inside to drop, so be careful.
As a test, I set the temperature to 3 degrees, poured in a lot of drinks, and ran it from around 5pm to around 9am the next morning; the drinks were still cold the next day.
Condensation had formed on the walls of the cabinet, causing water droplets to form.
One thing I noticed when actually using it was that because the refrigerator itself is small, the cold air inside escapes as soon as the lid is left open, causing the temperature inside to rise temporarily. If you are storing foods that taste bad when melted, such as ice cream, I recommend that you either limit the number of times you open and close the refrigerator as much as possible, or put in an ice pack.
In addition, the BougeRV CR Lite 9L can be powered by a portable battery, and can also be powered directly from the cigarette lighter socket of a car using the included car power cable. Even if you don't have a portable battery, you can carry it around in your car by placing the main unit on the passenger seat and powering it from the cigarette lighter socket.
