Bodega Cooler TS40/TS50 12V Freezer Review
A 12V portable freezer line with an optional detachable battery: the TS40 (40L / 42 Quarts) from $519.99 and the TS50 (53 Quarts) at $589.99. The page lists 12/24VDC and 100-240VAC power and an app; it suits a buyer who may add a battery later.

Our verdict
A match for a buyer who wants a 12V freezer in a 42 or 53 quart size with an optional battery and is content with a basic specification list. Look elsewhere if you need a stated temperature range, a zone layout or a battery price from the page. The main caveat is that the listing text is partly garbled, so several figures could not be read.
- Best for
- Buyers who want a 12V portable freezer in a 42 or 53 quart size with an optional detachable battery.
- Skip if
- You need a stated temperature range, a zone layout or a battery price from the page.
Why 3.4/5: Lifted by capacities, dimensions, net weights and power inputs for three models. Held back by garbled specification text, no stated temperature range or battery details, store wording that differs between its pages and policy text, and public complaints about its support.
Three 12V portable freezers share this page: the TS40 holds 40L / 42 Quarts from $519.99 and the TS50 holds 53 Quarts at $589.99, while a TS60 at $609.99 was out of stock when read. The page lists a detachable battery as optional, and all three list 12/24VDC or 100-240VAC power. It also lists an app, a touch control panel with an LED display and H/M/L battery protection, but no temperature range beyond a quick-cool claim to -20 degrees.

Options and pricing
The Model menu lists TS40 at $519.99, TS50 at $589.99 and TS60 at $609.99, and the TS60 was out of stock when read. The page calls the detachable battery optional and says it lasts 4 to 24 hours in outdoor use, but it shows no separate battery price and does not say whether any listed price includes one. The page shows no crossed-out price and no cover or power station option.
How it compares
The page lists no zone layout, while the Bodega Cooler M60 63QT Stainless Steel Dual-Zone Fridge at $539.99 names a dual zone with a removable divider. The Bodega Cooler QZW58 61QT Car Fridge with App Control is $499.99 and the Bodega Cooler UL-A50-AL 53QT Dual-Zone Aluminum Fridge is $484.49, against $519.99 for the 42 Quart TS40 and $589.99 for the 53 Quart TS50 here.
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 no customer reviews. 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.

Questions before you buy
Is the battery included?
The page calls the detachable battery optional and says it lasts 4 to 24 hours in outdoor use. It names no battery capacity or price, and the Model menu shows one price per model, so check what each price includes.
What power inputs do the models use?
The specification block lists 12/24VDC and 100-240VAC for the TS40, TS50 and TS60. The page also lists a battery protection system with H/M/L levels to keep the vehicle from running out of battery.
How big are the TS40 and TS50?
The TS40 is 600 x 400 x 440mm and 14.7kg net; the TS50 is 600 x 400 x 505mm and 15.7kg net, per the specification block. Packing sizes of 753 x 491 x 506mm and 753 x 491 x 571mm are also given.
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.

What we couldn’t verify
- The specification text is garbled in places (the TS50 capacity row, some gross weights and pound figures); the TS50's 50L is taken from the store title and the other garbled figures are left out.
- The page says the unit can 'quickly cool down to -20 degrees' with no unit, time or conditions, and its tilt claim (less than a 45-degree angle) is cut off mid-sentence.
- The title names TS40 and TS50, but the page also lists a TS60, and it describes the battery only as optional, with no capacity, price or connector.
- 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.
