On the top, the left side is the lid of the cooler/warmer, the upper right is the case for the built-in battery, and the lower right is the operation button.

The lid of the cooler/warmer is a magnetic type. The inside diameter of the spacious 25L cooler/warmer is 35cm wide, 25cm deep, and 29.5cm high. Although you cannot place a 2L plastic bottle vertically, it is large enough to fit it horizontally.

The built-in battery case on the top right looks like this. It is the size that the separately sold '

A cable can be passed through the hole on the back, allowing you to power the 'BougeRV CR Pro CH' while the portable battery is stored in the case.
The operation panel has a power button at the top left and a settings button at the bottom left, a panel that displays the internal temperature and set temperature in the center, and temperature adjustment buttons on the right.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2024/07/27/bougerv-cr-pro-ch/P6322330_m.jpg)
There is a handle on the front of the unit to open the lid, and a vent on the right side.

The right side of the device looks like this. You can also see the air vent on the left side.

There was a power terminal at the bottom.

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.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2024/07/27/bougerv-cr-pro-ch/P6322335_m.jpg)
Although no bands or other fixing devices are included, there is a hole on the side of the unit for attaching a band or other device, so you can attach your favorite band to it for easy transport.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2024/07/27/bougerv-cr-pro-ch/P6322336_m.jpg)
There are four plastic feet on the bottom of the unit.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2024/07/27/bougerv-cr-pro-ch/P6322337_m.jpg)
In addition to the main unit, various cables, adapters, and an instruction manual were included.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2024/07/27/bougerv-cr-pro-ch/P6322342_m.jpg)
I took the cables and adapters out of the bag. From the left, there is the power adapter and power supply cable, the cable for the car power supply, and the cable for the portable battery (sold separately). Both the cable for the car power supply and the cable for the portable battery are cigarette lighter sockets, but the cable for the car power supply is 3.5m long and the cable for the portable battery is 0.5m long, so the length is different.

It looks like this when you hold it in your hand. The weight of the main unit alone is about 10.9 kg, and with the power adapter and power cable it is about 11.3 kg.

◆I actually tried it
Let's try using the 'BougeRV CR Pro CH' right away. When using it for the first time, lightly wash the inside of the cabinet with water to remove odors, dry the inside of the cabinet, and then install it in your favorite location. In this case, the vent on the right side of the main unit (the side where the power adapter is connected) needs to be at least 15 cm away from the surrounding wall.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2024/07/27/bougerv-cr-pro-ch/P0009115_m.jpg)
Insert the power adapter into the power terminal on the right side of the main unit and plug the cable into a power outlet.

When I pressed the power button, the LCD panel lit up. The numbers and marks were displayed in blue, indicating that the unit was in cooling mode. The unit made a buzzing sound, and when I placed it on a desk, I could feel the vibrations.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2024/07/27/bougerv-cr-pro-ch/P0009126_m.jpg)
The internal temperature is displayed in the top center of the LCD panel.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2024/07/27/bougerv-cr-pro-ch/P0009124_m.jpg)
You can change the set temperature by pressing the temperature adjustment button on the right side of the operation panel.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2024/07/27/bougerv-cr-pro-ch/P0009132_m.jpg)
In cooling mode, the lowest temperature setting is minus 22 degrees.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2024/07/27/bougerv-cr-pro-ch/P0009136_m.jpg)
The maximum temperature setting for cooling mode is 10 degrees.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2024/07/27/bougerv-cr-pro-ch/P0009140_m.jpg)
The BougeRV CR Pro CH has a heating mode as well as a cooling mode. To switch between cooling and heating modes, press and hold the temperature control buttons '+' and '-' simultaneously for 3 seconds. When switching between cooling and heating modes, it is said that the life of the main unit will be longer if you first turn off the power, open the lid, and wait until the temperature inside the cabinet is almost the same as the surrounding environment before turning it on and switching it on.

Then the LCD panel turned red and switched to heating mode.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2024/07/27/bougerv-cr-pro-ch/P0009146_m.jpg)
The minimum temperature setting for heating mode is 25 degrees.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2024/07/27/bougerv-cr-pro-ch/P0009150_m.jpg)
The maximum temperature setting is 55 degrees.

The 25L capacity can hold 40 350ml cans, 21 550ml plastic bottles, or 5 2L plastic bottles. Try putting in one 2L plastic bottle, one 700ml plastic bottle, one 600ml plastic bottle, two 500ml plastic bottles, and three 350ml cans. There's plenty of room even if you put in other food ingredients or ice packs.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2024/07/27/bougerv-cr-pro-ch/P0009160_m.jpg)
2L plastic bottles had to be laid down in the container, but 500ml to 700ml plastic bottles can be placed upright.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2024/07/27/bougerv-cr-pro-ch/P0009165_m.jpg)
I actually put these drinks in the machine, set the cooling mode to 3 degrees, and let it run overnight in a room with a room temperature of 29 to 33 degrees. The drinks were still nicely chilled the next day.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2024/07/27/bougerv-cr-pro-ch/P0009173_m.jpg)
Also, this time set the temperature in heating mode to 55 degrees.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2024/07/27/bougerv-cr-pro-ch/P0009178_m.jpg)
I put a warm plastic bottle in it and got it working.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2024/07/27/bougerv-cr-pro-ch/P0009183_m.jpg)
As a result, the plastic bottle remained at a comfortable temperature even after several hours.

My impression after actually using it was that it has a large capacity and cools well, so it's perfect for barbecues, camping, and events with a large group of people. On the other hand, the unit alone weighs about 11kg, which is quite heavy, so it's physically and physically difficult to carry around, so it's best to use it in a car or at a campsite. If you're using it outdoors, I recommend using a car power cable to power it from your car, or using a large portable battery.
