Setpower is a value-focused 12V fridge brand with light, compact cabinets and Bluetooth app control on several models. ICECO covers a wider size range, up to 95 quarts, with SECOP compressors and a longer compressor warranty. This comparison uses each brand's own published specifications only; it includes no prices or test results of our own.

Setpower publishes capacity in quarts only. Its largest current model is the 59 qt DT55, so above that size ICECO has no Setpower equivalent.
Weight
Setpower's cabinets are noticeably lighter. The DT55 is 37.3 lb against 63.2 lb for ICECO's APL55 at a similar size, and the DT45 is 35.3 lb against 53.4 lb for the steel VL45ProD. If you lift the fridge in and out of the vehicle often, that's a real difference. If it lives on a fridge slide, it matters less.
Compressor, temperature and features
- Compressor: ICECO uses SECOP compressors. Setpower describes its compressors as self-developed.
- Temperature range: Setpower lists -4°F to 68°F across these models (the DT pages also list 0-50°F in one section). ICECO rates the APL series -4°F to 68°F and the VL Pro series 0°F to 50°F.
- App: Setpower lists Bluetooth app control on the RF30 PRO, DT45 and DT55. ICECO lists Bluetooth app control on the APL55, VL45ProD, VL45PLUS and GO20 (see our ICECO app guide).
- Battery protection: both brands offer three levels. ICECO publishes the cut-off voltages (see our battery protection guide); Setpower doesn't.
- Power: both run on 12/24V DC and ship with an AC adapter or AC input.
Power use
Setpower lists 0.324 kWh per 24 hours for the MC20 and ECO 38 W / MAX 50 W for the DT45 and DT55. ICECO lists 0.293 kWh per 24 hours for the APL20, 0.433 kWh for the GO20 and 0.381 kWh for the APL35. Neither brand states its test conditions, so treat these as rough guides rather than a head-to-head result. Size your battery with how long a battery will run an ICECO fridge.
Warranty
| Brand | Compressor | Other parts |
|---|---|---|
| ICECO | 5 years | 1 year |
| Setpower | 3 years | 1 year |
