Our verdict

Suits one person who values portability over capacity, as the page puts it, and wants a 16 quart fridge with AC and DC inputs and an optional detachable battery. Look elsewhere if you need a stated battery capacity or a larger box. The main caveat is that the 12 hour battery and 1 kWh per day figures are the store's own.

Best for
A solo traveler or commuter who wants a small 16 quart fridge with AC and DC inputs.
Skip if
You need a stated battery capacity or a box larger than 16 quarts.

Why 3.5/5: Lifted by a specification block with product, interior and packing sizes, weights and power inputs. Held back by Trustpilot feedback that is mostly negative on support, differing after-sale wording on the store's pages and battery-life and energy figures with no source.

The P15 Mini is a 15L/16 Quart personal fridge that the page positions as portability over capacity, listed from $239.99 without batteries. Its specification block gives 17.04*12.20*18.39 inches, an 8 kg net weight, AC 110V~240V and DC 12V/24V inputs and a 45W rated power input, and the page lists a -4F to 68F range with ECO and MAX modes. A detachable battery is optional.

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 14 customer reviews with 64% 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 couldn’t verify

  • The specification table has a P8 column (8L/9Quarts) with its own sizes and weights, but no P8 variant is offered on this page.
  • The 12 hour battery life, 'less than 1 kWh per day' at 45W in MAX mode and the 45dB noise figure come with no test or source; a heading says 'Consumes 1 kWh Per Day' while the text says less than 1 kWh.
  • The spec block lists AC 110V~240V but the package names an AC 110~120V adapter, and the battery's capacity, charger and Black versus Gray difference are not described.
  • 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.
  • No independent test of this model was found in the web searches made on 21 October 2026, and the page's own copy is the only source for its figures.
  • Some options showed as out of stock when the page was read on 21 October 2026.
