Hcalory D35M+, D45M+ and D55M+: compressor car fridges for travel

According to the manufacturer, the Hcalory D35M+, D45M+ and D55M+ compressor car fridges can cool their interior from room temperature to 0 °C in approximately 15 minutes. In MAX mode, they can reach around −20 °C in about four hours. Alongside cooling and freezing, they offer a divider, vehicle battery protection and features that make them easier to move.

Fast cooling and freezing

The claimed cooling time of approximately 15 minutes to 0 °C is particularly useful when preparing the fridge before a trip. The temperature inside the compartment does not necessarily mean that food and drinks placed inside will cool at the same rate. Their temperature depends on factors such as the amount stored and its starting temperature.

MAX mode can bring the compartment to approximately −20 °C in about four hours. The fridge can therefore also be used to transport frozen meals or ice cream while camping or on a longer journey. Reaching the set compartment temperature does not, on its own, guarantee that everything inside is frozen or safely stored; check food temperatures when necessary.

Two zones with a divider

A divider is included to split the interior into two temperature zones. According to the manufacturer, the left zone can be set between −20 °C and 20 °C, while the right side is 10 to 20 °C warmer. In this description, the right zone does not have its own independent setting: its temperature depends on the left zone and the temperature difference between them.

The divider allows one section to be used for chilling and the other for frozen items, provided the temperatures reached in both zones meet the requirements of the food stored there. It is therefore worth checking the actual temperatures, particularly if you need both chilled and frozen storage at the same time.

Three-level vehicle battery protection

When powered by a vehicle, the three-level battery protection helps limit excessive discharge. It is particularly useful during stops and while camping, when the fridge is running without the vehicle being driven.

The protection does not guarantee that the vehicle will always start after prolonged use. The outcome also depends on the condition of the battery and other operating circumstances, so the feature is not a substitute for checking the battery.

Wheels and a retractable handle

The D35M+, D45M+ and D55M+ have wheels and a retractable handle to make them easier to move, for example between a vehicle and a campsite. The handle provides a grip for pulling the fridge, so it does not need to be carried the whole way on a suitable surface. Lifting may still be necessary when loading it into a car or moving it over uneven ground.
