Mystery MTC-24 Price from 2 720 up to 3 595 ₴ →

Mystery Electronics, which has American roots, initially specialized in automotive audio equipment, but over time it has significantly expanded its field of activity. In particular, it began to produce refrigerators for motorists.

The main feature of Mystery MTC-24 is that it is able not only to cool, but also to heat products. The model supports a temperature range from 5 °C to 65 °C, and the maximum difference with the ambient temperature during cooling can reach 19 degrees. A very good result for an inexpensive refrigerator. It is convenient that the body of this model is made of impact-resistant plastic and equipped with an ergonomic carrying handle.

The built-in fan evenly distributes the cooled air inside the refrigerator chamber, which contributes to the uniform cooling of the products in it. By the way, the camera has an antibacterial coating and has a volume of 24 liters, which is the second result in our review (after Gio'style).

Mystery MTC-24 offers good versatility for moderate money and can only slightly upset with its solid weight (exceeding 4 kg).

Gio'Style Fiesta 25

Buying a car cooler from the Italian company Gio'style may be a good solution for users looking for the most capacious models. In our TOP-5 Fiesta 25 has the largest volume of the refrigerator — 25 liters. The products of this company have been pleasing drivers all over the world for almost 70 years.

The chamber of such volume is capable of accommodating, for example, 6 two-liter bottles, each of which will receive its portion of cold with the help of a fan. It is important that the good capacity almost did not affect the dimensions – the model is quite compact and weighs only 2.85 kg.

The Gio'style Fiesta 25 model does not lag behind competitors in terms of the minimum cooling temperature (5 °C). And the maximum difference with the external temperature (15 degrees) is a typical indicator for entry-level and mid-level devices.

The Gio'style Fiesta 25 car cooler does not have outstanding temperature indicators, but compensates for them due to a successful combination of large internal volume, lightness and compactness.

Ezetil Sun & Fun E21S

The German manufacturer Ezetil released its first mobile refrigerators in the 50s of the last century and today is one of the most famous companies specializing in "cold".

The Ezetil E 21 S model stands out for its ability to maintain the maximum difference between the external and internal temperature up to 20 degrees, as well as to cool products up to +5 °C. According to this parameter, it wins over all models of our rating, except Thermo TR-19A.

Like some competitors, the refrigerator body is made of impact-resistant plastic. It is equipped with a handle for transferring from the kitchen to the machine and a built-in fan for uniform cooling of the contents of the working chamber.

Despite the not very large volume of the camera – 21 liters, the model is a kilogram heavier than the more spacious Gio'style Fiesta 25. So Ezetil E 21 S attracts the attention of buyers with a well-known brand and low maintained temperature. Although, before buying, it is worth considering a small "extra" weight.

Campingaz Smart TE 20

The French company Campingaz does not have the largest range of car coolers, but almost all models are of high quality. At least, this is indicated by positive reviews. The Smart TE 20 has the usual performance indicators — it can cool its contents to a minimum of 5 °C and at the same time the maximum possible difference between the external and internal temperature is 16 degrees.

A special feature of the model is the unique One Handed lid locking system. Thanks to it, it is convenient to open and close the container with one hand, without releasing a large amount of "precious" cold from the chamber. Also, the model is characterized by a small weight (less than 3 kg) with a useful volume of 20 liters.

Campingaz Smart TE 20 attracts with an authoritative brand name (for more than half a century the company has achieved worldwide recognition), ease of operation and low weight. At the same time, it has a maintained temperature like competitors of comparable value.

Thermo TR-19A

The Thermo TR-19A car cooler is the most expensive in our review, but its price is justified by excellent cooling parameters and the possibility of heating products. The model is able to maintain a 25-degree difference with the ambient temperature and cool/heat its contents in the range from 5 °C to 65 °C. In our TOP 5 and among most similar devices, these are the best indicators.

In addition to the usual handle, the container has a convenient carrying strap on the shoulder. In addition, the refrigerator is equipped with an information display, which simplifies the management of its operation. This is a unique feature for such devices.

The disadvantage of the model is a large weight – as much as 7 kg, especially considering that the refrigerator chamber holds a modest 19 liters. Apparently, this is a payment for the solidity of the design and extended functionality.

Thermo TR-19A handles well with its main function – cooling of products, and also has other advantages like a display. At the same time, a solid weight with a small volume does not allow the model to look down on competitors.
