Our verdict

A match for someone who wants a 75 Liter dual-zone box whose sides can each be set as fridge or freezer, with a full specification list. Look elsewhere if you need proof of the water resistance or a measured energy use. The main caveat is that the IPX4, cooling-time and energy-saving claims are the store's own.

Best for
Buyers who want a 79qt box whose two sides can each be set as fridge or freezer, with app control.
Skip if
You need a documented water resistance rating or a measured cooling time from an outside source.

Why 3.5/5: Lifted by a specification table with size, weight, rated power and a zone-by-zone capacity split. Held back by the unsourced IPX4 and cooling-test claims, store wording that differs between its pages and policy text, and public complaints about its support.

Priced at $524.99, the 79qt (75 Liters) model is a dual-zone compressor fridge-freezer on 12V / 24V DC or 100-240V AC power. Its specification list gives 17.7 x 33.5 x 18.3 inches, 56.2 pounds, a 70W rated input and -4F to 68F. The page cites an IPX4 rating, two doors and app control, and describes a 43L (45QT) left zone and a 32L (34QT) right zone that can each be set as fridge or freezer.

Options and pricing

One variant is listed, the 79qt at $524.99, in stock when read, and the page shows a crossed-out price of $699.99. The box list names the fridge, a 12/24V DC cigarette lighter cord, a 100-240V AC power cord with adapter and an instruction manual. No battery, power station or cover is offered on this page. The specification table also shows an MCD95D column of 95 Liters/100qt that has no matching option here.

How it compares

The Bodega Cooler 95QT Dual-Zone Electric Cooler starts at the same $524.99 and lists 95qt. The Bodega Cooler M60 63QT Stainless Steel Dual-Zone Fridge is $539.99 and names a removable divider in its title, and the Bodega Cooler QZW58 61QT Car Fridge with App Control is $499.99 with app control and wheels.

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 38 customer reviews with 87% 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. The page shows a crossed-out regular price; that is the store's own comparison figure.

What we liked

  • Zones are described in detail: 43L (45QT) left and 32L (34QT) right, each set as fridge or freezer
  • A full specification list gives size, weight, rated power input and rated current
  • Both DC and AC inputs are listed, and the box has a cigarette lighter cord and an AC cord with adapter
  • Manual control and the BODEGA app (iOS/Android) are both listed

Worth noting

  • The IPX4 'certified' claim names no certificate or test lab, and the page also calls the unit dustproof without a dust rating
  • The 15-minute and 45-minute cooling figures, the 40% energy saving and the 24-hour cold hold are the page's own, with no method named
  • The specification table also lists an MCD95D of 95 Liters/100qt, so it mixes this 79qt model with a larger one

Questions before you buy

Can each zone be set separately?

The page says so: it describes independent temperature control, a 43L (45QT) left zone and a 32L (34QT) right zone, in any combination of fridge and freezer. The table lists the area as dual zone with 2 doors.

What does the IPX4 mention mean on this page?

The page cites IPX4 water resistance and calls the construction certified, splash-resistant and dustproof. It names no certificate, lab or dust rating, so the figure is the store's own claim.

What power does it use?

The table lists 12V / 24V DC or 100-240V AC with an AC adapter, a rated power input of 70W and a rated current of 7.0A / 3.5A. The box has a cigarette lighter cord and an AC cord with adapter.

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.

Independent

What we couldn’t verify

  • The page cites IPX4 'certified construction' and also calls the unit dustproof, but names no certificate, lab or dust rating.
  • The cooling figures (15 minutes to 32F, under 45 minutes to -4F), the 40% energy saving in ECO mode and 24 hours under 40F after power loss are the page's own; the 'test data' is not sourced.
  • The specification table pairs the MCD75D with an MCD95D (95 Liters/100qt) although only a 79qt option is sold here; many rows show one value for both.
  • The refund policy gives the refund time as 3 to 7 business days in one place and up to 7 in another, while the FAQ says 1 to 3.
  • The warranty page says 2 years and also 1 year extended to 2 by registering; 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.
  • The page points to reviews of this model (link text only, such as 'Check the reviews:') that we could not open; apart from those, no independent test of it was found in the web searches made on 21 October 2026.
