Our verdict
Useful to a camper, RV owner or home user who wants a countertop compressor ice maker with both DC and AC inputs and accepts the store's own output and noise figures. Look elsewhere if you need a stated power draw for a 12V supply, a weight or independent noise data. The main caveat is that daily output, cycle time and noise level are all the store's figures.
- Best for
- RV and camp users who want a compact ice maker that runs from 12V/24V DC or household AC.
- Skip if
- A stated power draw, weight or measured noise matters before you connect it to a vehicle.
Why 3.4/5: Lifted by a specification block with size, output, tank, basket, power supply and box contents; held back by output and noise figures with no source, a missing power draw and weight, differing policy wording, the store's low public rating profile and no outside test of this model.

Shipping, returns and warranty
Shipping: the shipping page offers free standard shipping around mainland US from US warehouses (the FAQ names California, Texas and Pennsylvania), with 1 business day of processing, a tracking email once the order ships, and no delivery to PO, APO or FPO addresses; the address cannot be changed after shipment. Some products can go to Canada, Germany and Italy for an extra $35 (8 to 15 business days) or to the UK for an extra $60, while the FAQ says every product ships to the continental US, only part of the range to Canada and only the detachable battery to Europe. Returns: an order can be cancelled within 24 hours by email or phone; after it ships a double shipping fee comes off the refund and a 2% transaction fee may apply. A return within 30 days needs an email to [email protected] for a return authorization first, an unused, uninstalled product in its original packaging, and shipping back within 7 days of the refund confirmation to the Rancho Cucamonga, California address; the buyer pays the shipping, while for a defective or damaged item the store says it refunds the shipping fee after photos or video. Orders bought from Amazon, Walmart or other resellers are not covered. Exchanges within 30 days carry a restocking fee and shipping that vary by brand. The page gives the refund time as 3 to 7 business days in one place and up to 7 in another, and the FAQ says 1 to 3. Warranty: the warranty page promises 2 years on products bought directly from bodegacooler.com, with the exact period on the last page of the manual, and also says a 1-year warranty extends to 2 years by registering the product (the FAQ says register within 10 days of purchase); it covers defects in materials and workmanship, not misuse, accidents or unauthorized repair, and not products from third-party sellers. Some product pages state other terms, such as a 5-year compressor warranty with 1 year on the rest, 24 months on the compressor and accessories, or a 5-year product warranty. Payment: Klarna, American Express, Discover, JCB, Mastercard, PayPal and Visa, plus regional methods such as Boleto, THAI QR PromptPay, Rabbit LINE Pay and ShopeePay, according to the FAQ.
Before you buy
The page shows 11 customer reviews with 73% of them five-star in the store's own widget, which we could not verify. Reputation: on Trustpilot (read on the Australian site) bodegacooler.com is a claimed profile with a TrustScore of 2.6 from 16 reviews, 25% five-star and 69% one-star; the company rarely replies, and the newest reviews (August and September 2026) describe a 100-quart unit with about 60 quarts usable, a replacement that froze the fridge side, and unanswered support. A June 2026 review of a 3-door Bodega cooler sold on Amazon (The Inventory, which names no model code and may not cover this item) cites a 2.5/5 TrustScore and reports of damaged units and slow support. A web search found no BBB profile. The bodegacooler.com domain was registered on 27 May 2019. The store's FAQ says only one promotion code can be used per order and offers new customers 12% off fridges for subscribing to its newsletter, and some pages advertise their own sales and codes.
What we liked
- The specification block lists size, daily output, cycle time, tank and basket capacity, power supply and noise level
- Runs from 12V/24V DC or 100-240V AC, so one unit covers vehicle and household outlets, per the page
- The page says built-in battery protection helps prevent excessive vehicle battery discharge
- LED indicators show water level, ice status and progress, and the basket is removable with one-touch drainage, per the page
- The box list includes an ice scoop, a DC power cord, an AC adapter and a manual
Worth noting
- No power draw (watts or amps) is given, which matters on a 12V vehicle supply
- No weight, ice size or operating temperature range is stated
- The battery-protection claim names no cut-off voltage
- The page does not say how much ice one batch makes
- The title lists 12V/110V while the spec block lists 12V/24V DC and 100-240V AC
Questions before you buy
What power does the ice maker run on?
The specification block lists 12V/24V DC and 100-240V AC, and the box list includes a 12V/24V DC power cord and AC adapter. The product title says 12V/110V dual power. No power draw in watts or amps is given.
How much ice does it make and how fast?
The page lists up to 24 lbs per 24 hours and a cycle time of about 8 minutes per batch, and says the first ice cycle takes approximately 8 minutes. The ice basket holds about 0.5 kg and the water tank 1.3 Liters. These are the store's figures, and the page does not give a batch size.
How loud is it and what do the indicators show?
The page lists a noise level of 45dB or lower and says LED indicators show water level, ice status and operation progress. It gives no measurement distance or conditions for the noise figure.
Where does Bodega Cooler ship and how fast?
Free standard shipping covers mainland US from warehouses in the US, with 1 business day of processing; no PO, APO or FPO addresses. Some products can go to Canada, Germany, Italy (+$35, 8 to 15 business days) and the UK (+$60), but the FAQ lists fewer destinations, so check the product before ordering abroad.
What is the return window?
30 days from purchase for an unused, uninstalled product in its original packaging, after an email to [email protected] for a return authorization. The buyer pays the shipping unless the item is defective or damaged; cancellation is free within 24 hours of ordering. Orders from Amazon or other resellers are not covered.
How long is the warranty?
The warranty page says 2 years for purchases from bodegacooler.com, or 1 year extended to 2 by registering the product within 10 days of purchase (per the FAQ); the manual names the exact period. Some product pages state other terms, so keep the order number and ask support before relying on one figure.
