The ICECO VL45PLUS is a 44.4 qt (about 42 L) single zone fridge freezer designed around getting at the food once it is strapped into a vehicle. It measures 28.3 x 16.7 x 19.5 in (717 x 423 x 493 mm) outside, length x width x height, and weighs 57.6 lb (26.1 kg), per ICECO's VL45PLUS manual. The lid opens from the left or the right or lifts off entirely, and a side access drawer with a removable wire basket slides out from the end, so you can reach in without lifting the top lid. A SECOP compressor cools it, ICECO quotes 89°F down to 32°F in 28 minutes, and an 8 mm vacuum insulation panel cuts the power it needs to stay cold.
It is built for a truck bed, van or SUV cargo area: a metal outer shell, integrated tie-down points, spring-loaded handles and an internal LED light. The control panel sits on the side where you can read it without opening anything, and the ICECO app with Apple CarPlay support lets you check and change the temperature from the driver's seat. It runs on 12V or 24V DC, works with ICECO's magnetic battery for off-vehicle cooling, and runs at as low as 33 dB. ICECO's VL45PLUS insulated cover fits it.

Frequently Bought Together
This fridge is awesome. I previously had a competitor's fridge and had to replace it as it was too tall to fit in my 4Runner with the Solid Woodworx cargo box. This fridge works perfectly! Tons of space to store food, and access is made simple with the ability to open the door from the side (or what would be the front for me). Access is quick and easy; no need to purchase a sliding tray or remove the fridge from the vehicle when you need to get stuff out. I was initially hesitant to pay this much for a fridge, but this thing is beautiful and functional. I have had problems getting the Apple CarPlay app to work properly, and I wish the smaller basket on the inside of this fridge was able to slide out from the side, but other than that, this thing is damn near perfect.

Outstanding refrigerator and freezer. Extremely well engineered product. Quality is obvious on opening the box. Very versatile in ways to power this unit. Most highly recommend.

Love the two direction lid and the front access. These make the fridge super versatile in my 1994 Land Cruiser. With a swing out rear bumper the dual direction lid allows me to access it from the side cargo window if I don’t want to open the rear bumper. Easily accessed from the other side when cargo doors are open and the fridge slide is extended. Front access is also really convenient for quick access and makes seeing what’s inside much easie. My rig is lifted and it’s not always easy to see in from the top of the ground isn’t level. I would say this fridge operating noise is a bit louder than my Dometic 75 liter, but minimally so. My only real complaint it’s the rattling of the baskets (or compressor) haven’t narrowed down where the rattle is coming from. Hopefully I can eliminate the rattles - overall an awesome fridge.

I’ve used it on one trip so far and it’s way more efficient than my ARB. The front door makes it so much easier to use also. Did I mention how pretty it is?

It’s been a great fridge so far! Would have liked to seen the smaller basket able to come out using the 3rd door access. The fridge in general seems very well built, but only time will tell on the 3rd door. That feature alone was the only reason why I bought it.

So far so good but I am pleased with the unit ? would I buy another? yes I plan to next year as we run a off grid log cabin rental resort. It seems very sturdy but the selling point for us is the low electrical draw. We will be getting more of them next year probably two larger than the 44.4 unit .

I LITTERALLY BOUGHT 3 REAR CARGO SYSTEMS 2 W REFER SLIDES. I ALREADY HAD ANOTHER REFER WHEN YOU ANNOUNCED THE DRAWER OPENING. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT... SOLVED MY BIG PROBLEM OF ACCESS.

I ran the fridge in the back of my Jeep Wrangler for a solid week off a 1500 Wh battery bank and it worked flawlessly taking about 100 Wh per day to keep it at 33°F in the CO mountains where it's already pretty chilly. The fold-down side was crucial as I don't have a slide built into the Jeep and it lots of stuff was stacked on top. I was able to access most everything anytime we wanted and it fit in the back of the Wrangler perfectly. When we got it back, I set it to freezer mode and my son took it to college with frozen food. The app was useful as I could check the temp while driving too. It's been running for about 2 weeks solid between prep and the actual trip. That's not a long-term review, but it's a good start.

This unit is a home run! I have three ICECO refrigerators and two from another brand. The use of the extra space above the compressor is amazing. Having access on the side makes it incredibly useful in the back of my Toyota FJ Cruiser or in my Sprinter. I have had zero issues with lower voltage or cooling. I am using it as a refrigerator, not a freezer (have not tested that low of a temperature). Well done ICECO.
