CONCLUSION
Although I ended up testing the SH-C22 Car Refrigerator by VEVOR for just over a full week it mostly delivered on everything it’s advertised for. Build quality is very good overall, interior space is more than enough to fit 7-8 1.5 litre bottles, the digital control panel works well (keys did require more force a few times but that’s something touch keys do in general) and obviously I also liked the fact that you can control the unit via your smartphone. In terms of cooling however even though VEVOR claims that the SH-C22 can go down to 0 degrees Celsius in just 5 hours that wasn’t my experience with it. I did most tests outdoors during which I used the portable power station VEVOR send over and well even after 5 hours temperature was at around 9 degrees Celsius. This isn’t a bad number since it’s plenty to keep drinks cold but at the same time it’s not close to the advertised one. When testing the SH-C22 indoors using a regular power socket temperature did drop down to 8 degrees after 2 full days. Again, not close to the advertised numbers but this number obviously has largely to do with the ambient temperature and since these days it was well over 36 degrees Celsius where I live (I obviously didn’t test the SH-C22 with the AC on) it makes sense that temperature didn’t drop beneath that (keep in mind that I have 2 mini bars in the office and with the AC’s off at the most they go down to 10-11 degrees).
Right now, the SH-C22 Car Refrigerator by VEVOR retails for USD246.42/223.99Euros (VEVOR) but you can actually get it for less, thanks to a 5% discount coupon offered by VEVOR (VVMH5%OFF). Overall, the SH-C22 may not be the best portable refrigerator in the market today but it looks nice, has plenty of space, provides good cooling and can be operated both by its digital panel and your smartphone and that’s why I highly recommend checking it out if you’re out in the market for one.
