Why We Like The Dometic CFX3 45 Powered Cooler
The Dometic CFX3 45 Powered Cooler is like having a refrigerator at the campsite. Its compressor keeps food fresh and cold without any ice at all. We can plug it in our car for a deep freeze—without worrying about killing our car battery—and the heavy-duty insulation keeps everything cold while we're hiking away from the car. For a plug-free freeze, we pack along the Dometic 40 Ah Portable Lithium Battery (sold separately). A high-resolution display lets us set the temperature down to -7°F, and using the CFX3 app, we can control the temp from our phone.

Highly impressed with Dometic CFX 45
Quiet. Cools down extremely quickly. Maintains set temperature very precisely. Runs on my Jackery 1000 power source for multiple days. Rugged build quality. About the same weight as a similar size premium rotomolded ice chest, but you don't give up half your useable volume to ice. Suits my needs perfectly.

Great supplemental piece.
Exactly what we needed to supplement our smaller refrigerator in our Sprinter. Kept items colder than expected with very little electrical draw on system.

Works well
Have used it a couple times and has worked great. Minimal battery pull and noise. Lightweight compared to others its size. Wish it would have a bit more robust closing mechanism.

One of the best.
Great cooler. Easy on the power consumption. Love being able to remove lid easily for cleaning. Needs work on the lid. You have to push on it to ensure it locks close. Once you have that habit formed it not a huge deal. But at this price point I don't expect to have to do it.

CFX3 45L powered by Ecoflow Delta 2 (D2). The D2 randomly shuts down 12v socket when powering cooler. Dometic battery protection set to LOW; the D2 12v connection is set to NEVER shutdown. Anyone else have this issue? Solutions?

Can I plug the cooler in AC while it's powered in DC at the same time, does it switch automatically from DC to AC.

Does the cfx3 have rubber feet that can be removed? Im trying to see if this would fit in the following cooler drawer The height is obviously the issue: 31.5" deep, 18.5" wide, and 18.75" high

How much clearance (side, rear, top) do you need if you use the cfx3-45 in a galley/cabinet under the counter (likely with a slide out rack) so that it has enough ventilation space to function properly? I want to use it this way in an RV or cabin.
