One essential piece of gear for anyone looking to wander off the beaten track is a reliable, portable fridge and freezer; something that can withstand the rigours of the outdoors, while keeping your food and beverages fresh.

Enter the new iFROST 40L fridge freezer: The best camping fridge-freezer in Australia, and the ultimate companion for all your outdoor adventures.

This little beauty can act as either a fridge or a freezer, depending on your needs, making it a very versatile bit of kit.

Why choose a compressor fridge freezer like the iFROST?

This powerful little unit has some serious cooling capability, perfect as a caravan fridge, 4X4 fridge, or really anywhere you need on-the-go refrigeration. The unit is not too bulky to pack in for a weekend away or a longer adventure. Road trip, anyone?

Much easier than having to top up an Esky with ice, you'll love all the handy features and thoughtful details of the iFROST 40L Fridge Freezer.

Compressor fridges like this are the most popular choice for camping enthusiasts, and for good reason. They use the same compressor technology as your fridge at home, but can run on different power sources (batteries or mains).

  • Compressor fridges can operate efficiently using 12V batteries or higher.
  • Compressor fridges will work in almost any conditions. They can operate in a higher range of temperatures and humidity than other portable fridges.
  • Compressor fridges are powerful; this means they chill both more consistently, and to lower temperatures, than gas portable fridges or thermoelectric fridges.

The portable fridge freezer you can rely on

The iFROST stands out from other market offerings, delivering with our perfect blend of durability, efficiency, and innovative features designed to enhance your camping experience.

Best of all, there are flexible options for powering the device - so while it could be called a car fridge, it's also more adaptable for any situation than most portable camping fridges.

The iFROST is designed to be highly energy efficient so that no matter which way you go, you won’t have to worry about draining other power sources.

Built tough, efficient to run

Camping in Australia often means dealing with tough terrain and unpredictable weather. Weighing in at 17kg, the iFROST is built with a robust, heavy-duty construction; meaning it can handle bumps, knocks, and even extreme temperatures. 

Express cooling is impressive, sure, but conserving energy while off-road is critical to any road trip. That’s why the iFROST is engineered to be highly energy-efficient, drawing as minimal power as possible from your vehicle’s battery, lithium batteries (such as a portable power station), a solar setup, or an inverter generator. This means you can enjoy longer trips without worrying about power consumption.

Whether you’re travelling through the outback or setting up camp along the coast, this fridge is designed to endure it all.

40L fridge capacity

We know fridge space is at a premium when camping, and the iFROST maximises every inch. Its 40L capacity accommodates up to 57 cans… or plenty of other stuff, if you’re not just worried about keeping drinks cold while you’re off the beaten track.

With a thoughtfully designed frame (including a built-in bottle opener - how convenient!), this camping fridge freezer offers more than enough space for the essentials.

Easy to use with LED display

We believe that great portable camping fridges should be easy to use, giving you more time to enjoy the outdoors.

The iFROST comes with an easy-to-read LED display that’s intuitive and simple, allowing you to set the temperature and monitor the fridge’s performance with ease.

Additionally, the reversible lid offers versatile access, making it easy to transport and set up at your campsite.

Keep food fresh and drink cold when you’re in the bush

This portable camping fridge holds a powerful LG compressor that ensures rapid cooling and can maintain a consistent temperature range from -22°C to 24°C, even in scorching Australian summers.

With adjustable temperature settings, you can customise the cooling to suit your needs, keeping drinks icy cold or food perfectly chilled.

When it comes to finding the best camping fridge in Australia - look no further than the iFROST. This unique combination of durability, efficiency, and user-friendly design results in a portable fridge that’ll become your ultimate camping essential.
