I ended up getting the Anker Everfrost Dual Zone 50. I don't use any other tech, so this is a perfect setup for me.
What do we think of Anker's new battery-powered cooler?

I went ahead and ordered the 30 with solar panel.
Hoping it’ll be big enough. Without needing ice, it should last me a couple days at a time worth of food. When my wife, my kiddo, and I camp together for two days, we use a 52 liter with two bags of ice.
Definitely looks intriguing. Though I must admit, I find the claim of a 299wh battery running a cooler at 39 for 42 hours a bit of a stretch unless they've managed to source the most efficient compressor ever conceived. That said, I'm tempted to look at the 40 with an extra battery, but I'm kind of wanting dual zone, and the 50 is too big for what I need. I've been eyeing Setpower with either the RV45D or the new PT series.
I ended up opting for the 30 and the solar panel. I don't have a solar setup, and probably won't need much of one, so this one should be plenty.

Ah, they’re like the Harbor Freight of overlanding gear, right? Some folks love ‘em, others hate ‘em.

Pretty much! They get more flak than they probably deserve, though they do deserve some, but on the whole they have some good budget options.
That fridge does look neat, but boy is it ugly. Haha
As far as I can see, though, the battery isn't removable.
Was looking for a forum on this cooler to see if anybody has some good hacks on it.
I have the 40L and love it. The battery is removable. Right now it’s plugged in my garage keeping my beers cold while I’m not camping. I pulled the battery out for the mean time so I don’t degrade thebattery with multiple charge cycles.
This cooler got through 3 days of camping without charging it but I have to admit the nights were at 40 degrees and day highs were 70.
one bad thing so far I see is thefridge seal sits on the bumpy finish polymer. I canonly imagine the coldair will seep out.
ecoflow has a pretty cool frige like anker that also has a ice maker which is wild. Honestly I think I can live without the ice on camping trips but if needed the anker cooler can be set at 0 degrees.
cycle pwr draw is about 30 watts. I timed the compressor cycle in my 80 degree garage , 4 times an hour for a 5 minute duration each cycle. This is when it’s set at 32 degrees. It seems to have an temp discrepancy of 5 degrees. So it’s more like it is set at 37.

I have the 30. I put it in my FJ for two days with 5x 16-oz cans in it, and it kept them at 40 without a charge, no problem. Battery was at 60% at the end of the second day.
