Our verdict
A fit for a buyer who wants a two-door 53 quart box with each zone behind its own door. Look elsewhere if you need a stated weight, one consistent energy figure or a box contents list from the page. The main caveat is that its energy-saving numbers do not agree with each other.
- Best for
- Buyers who want a 53 quart car fridge with a separate door for each of its two zones.
- Skip if
- You need a stated weight or a single consistent energy figure, which the page does not give.
Why 3.4/5: Lifted a little by stated capacity, dimensions and door details. Held back by conflicting energy figures, no stated weight, store wording that differs between its pages and policy text, and public complaints about its support.
A freestanding 2-door build with aluminum door panels is how the page describes the UL-A50, a dual-zone car refrigerator of 50 liters (53 quart) priced at $595.99. The page lists 16.5 x 27.8 x 21.2 inches, a compressor, 12 volts, 12/24V DC and 110/240V AC adapters, and a design with independent temperature zones and separate doors. ECO and MAX modes and an LED touch panel are listed.

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. The page shows a crossed-out regular price; that is the store's own comparison figure.
What we liked
- Two separate doors with independent zones are described, with up to 48 cola cans or 30 water bottles stated
- Dimensions are given, including a maximum door-open depth of 20 inches
- ECO and MAX modes plus a 3-level battery protection system are listed
- Both 12/24V DC and 110/240V AC adapters are named
Worth noting
- The energy figure is inconsistent: 0.9 kWh/24h in the copy but 0.9 kwh as Annual Energy Consumption in the specification list
- The saving claim of over 300 kW per year uses a different unit from the page's own kWh figures and compares only with unnamed conventional units
- No weight is given
- The 77F to -4F in 1 hour and 3+ hours frozen without power figures are the page's own, with no method named
- No zone-by-zone capacity is given; Freezer Capacity repeats 50 liters
Questions before you buy
How do the two zones and doors work?
The page describes a freestanding 2-door design with independent temperature zones; separate doors are said to limit cold air loss and keep flavors from mixing. It does not state each zone's capacity.
What energy figure does the page give?
The copy says ECO mode uses 0.9 kWh/24h, while the specification list shows 0.9 kwh under Annual Energy Consumption. The copy also claims savings of over 300 kW per year against conventional units. The figures do not line up and no test method is named.
What power can it use?
The page says it comes with 12/24V DC and 110/240V AC adapters, for cars, trucks, SUVs, RVs, yachts and for home use, and lists a voltage of 12 volts. It gives no rated power input or current.
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 page gives 0.9 kWh/24h for ECO mode but shows 0.9 kwh as 'Annual Energy Consumption' in its specification list, and claims savings of over 300 kW per year against conventional units without naming them.
- The page says it chills from 77F to -4F in just 1 hour and keeps contents frozen for 3+ hours without power, with no test method; Freezer Capacity repeats 50 liters, so the zone split is unknown.
- 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.
