Full transcript
- 0:05Right. Yep. Back out.
- 0:08Here we are. Pitched up
- 0:12in the darkest place in the world.
- 0:16Really, really pitch black.
- 0:22So, point of this video is, if I can get
- 0:24the light to stay on, is being quite
- 0:28kindly sent a new fridge. Look,
- 0:31this beast
- 0:34has a thingy for scale.
- 0:38This is the AO Bossy
- 0:42Compressor fridge,
- 0:44and it's meant.
- 0:47So, I've got it plugged in. I've got it
- 0:49plugged into the uh Oh, the light's gone
- 0:52off.
- 0:55It's on 98%. That's been on for about an
- 0:58hour and a half. It's drawn 2%. It's
- 1:00pulling 39 watts at the minute. I've got
- 1:03it plugged into that to show you how how
- 1:06much power it pulls.
- 1:08I've got 12 volts over there, so I'll
- 1:10plug it into the van later. But yeah,
- 1:13it's huge. The capacity is massive.
- 1:16I'll pull it out the way.
- 1:20So
- 1:22we have in here, this is the ice
- 1:24compartment. So you fill that with water
- 1:27and freeze that. And then in effect, you
- 1:30have a freezer compartment here.
- 1:33So it'll keep your frozen stuff nice and
- 1:36pretty much frozen. If you're not using
- 1:38that, just use it as a normal cooler.
- 1:41It holds four boxes of beer.
- 1:45this all these. It's massive.
- 1:51It's good though, right? I'll tell you
- 1:53why I got this. Because
- 1:57when I go away on me longer trips, this
- 1:59the smaller fridge is not there's not
- 2:01enough room in it. So, half the stuff
- 2:03ends up in a shopping bag in the front
- 2:06and I have to cool it down later. But
- 2:08this this is cavernous. This will do.
- 2:10This will do a big long trip. So, I'll
- 2:12use this on me longer trips.
- 2:15I use a smaller one at the weekends,
- 2:17but it's got like a little light inside.
- 2:22Nice closing lid.
- 2:25The trick with this is the lid can be
- 2:26either side. So, you just lift it off
- 2:28there.
- 2:30It just lifts off. I don't want to do it
- 2:32now cuz it might
- 2:34see just comes off and you can put it on
- 2:37this side. So, you can have it opening
- 2:39from that. You have it open that way or
- 2:42that way.
- 2:44So yeah, I'll put the link in the
- 2:46description, right? Cuz I'm not sure the
- 2:47model. It's a big long winded number.
- 2:51But yeah, that's where the that's where
- 2:54your fan is there. So you keep that out
- 2:55there. All the controls are here. Dead
- 2:58simple.
- 3:00On, off settings. It gives you it gives
- 3:02you a list of everything there. So you
- 3:04just like get the temperature down with
- 3:06this button
- 3:08down to one. I don't want it on one
- 3:10degree. two degrees is I found is
- 3:12adequate.
- 3:14That's on, off, and that's your settings
- 3:16menu. So, you can have on max, eco,
- 3:20and uh I think it's off, on or off.
- 3:25There's a app to go with it as well. So,
- 3:28you download the app, which is on there
- 3:31on this barcode here. Just download that
- 3:33app, it takes you to it.
- 3:37So, we're going to see what power this
- 3:38draws over this trip cuz I'm going to
- 3:42leave it plugged into the um VTON and I
- 3:44want to see how it pulls it down. It's
- 3:46only pulling one watt now. See, it's
- 3:49it's got down it's at the right
- 3:52temperature now. So, it's pulling one
- 3:53watt. In the winter, it'll pull a lot
- 3:55less.
- 3:57There's another vent there. Let's see.
- 4:00Plug. You get a three pin plug as well.
- 4:02So you can use it in the house or if
- 4:04you're uh off grid, you know, if you've
- 4:06got electric hook up, you can plug it in
- 4:08with the three pin. I've just got this
- 4:1112vt in at the minute.
- 4:13But yeah, it's good, man. It's light as
- 4:16well, you know. There's another another
- 4:18out there, another fan. It's obviously
- 4:21cuz you can use both sides.
- 4:25But when I took it out of the box, it
- 4:27was a lot lighter than it looks.
- 4:30So that's good. But yeah, it's good,
- 4:32man. And if you get to this point, you
- 4:36can use it as a little table. Nice flat
- 4:38top.
- 4:40You probably sit on it.
- 4:42So we will come back
- 4:45and have a look how it's performing
- 4:47throughout this video.
- 4:50A bossy. Excellent. It's about £169.
- 4:57So we're just sitting here chilling out.
- 4:59chilling out, man. Come on. Anyway, this
- 5:03is the app. Oh, I don't know if I can
- 5:06pick it up.
- 5:09I'm I'm getting eaten alive by flies.
- 5:12It's called Outdoor Joy. Anyway, the app
- 5:14Outdoor Joy. That um barcode takes you
- 5:16to it. So, the current temperature is
- 5:184°.
- 5:20It's off at the minute, like but I think
- 5:22it's just cooling down. So, you can set
- 5:24it up to 20°. Plus, you've got the
- 5:27refrigeration mode there, right? So, you
- 5:29can have refrigeration or freezing. So,
- 5:32it sets it down at minus 18 and that
- 5:34starts turns it into a freezer, right?
- 5:37So, we don't want that. We want the fan
- 5:39on. So, that's back to the fridge on,
- 5:41off, obviously. Eco max if you want to
- 5:44get it cool quickly.
- 5:47And then you just got some settings
- 5:48here. You got these things here, device
- 5:51sharing, everything. So, that's like you
- 5:53turn that off if you don't want anybody
- 5:54finding it. But yeah, that gives you
- 5:56update. Oh, this is like 4°. So you can
- 5:59set plus or minus. Plus or minus. I'm
- 6:01going to keep it on two degrees. So
- 6:04that'll go down. So that's it really.
- 6:07That's how you control it with the app.
- 6:10Outdoor Joy it's called. I'm not going
- 6:13to show you cuz it takes you to me home
- 6:14screen.
- 6:18So yeah, it's nice and quiet. It came on
- 6:20before and it's really really quiet.
- 6:23just makes a noise when it comes on, but
- 6:25then it goes silent.
- 6:28It's good. I like it. You know, I like
- 6:31the color. I think you can get gray one
- 6:33as well.
- 6:36So, here we go. Right, it's tomorrow
- 6:38morning. Everything in there.
- 6:42Ice cold.
- 6:46It's all ice cold. Lovely.
- 6:51And
- 6:53It's going on forks of harmon and it's
- 6:55only drawn. Look at that. It's on 94%.
- 7:00What was it last night? 99. It's drew
- 7:035%. It's pulling one watt now.
- 7:07I'd say that was a winner. That
- 7:11That's an excellent fridge.
- 7:14If you want one for like if you've got a
- 7:16bigger van, it would be probably better
- 7:18in a bigger van. But I've managed. I've
- 7:20managed. All right. Be good for long
- 7:22trips, you know. And when I go on long
- 7:24trips, I rarely have the double bed.
- 7:28So, yeah. A bossy. There you go. All the
- 7:32um details will be in the description if
- 7:35you follow the links. I like the light.
- 7:36It's got a light. Oh, yeah. It's got a a
- 7:39drain plug in the bottom
- 7:41so you can wash it now. You can wash it
- 7:43out and if any nasties get in there, you
- 7:46can just drain it out.
- 7:49removable.
- 7:51This is the freezer compartment.
- 7:55The whole thing can be the freezer if
- 7:57you take if you turn it right down.
- 8:01Yeah. What can you say about a fridge?
- 8:02What more can you say about a fridge?
- 8:04But other than that, it's really good
- 8:05and it's hardly taken any power out of
- 8:08that power bank. That's amazing.
- 8:11Now,
- 8:15I could be wrong. Don't think I am. But
- 8:18the other fridge would have probably had
- 8:20that on 89% now.
- 8:24So this is very very efficient
- 8:29to the point of I might just keep it in
- 8:32permanently.
- 8:34Anyway, right. So, hope you like that.
- 8:38Just a short video about a fridge. If
- 8:40you're looking for a compressor fridge
- 8:42for your van, you cannot really go wrong
- 8:44with that.
- 8:47Let me know what you think in the
- 8:48comments.
- 8:50I'll put the links in the description.
- 8:52Everything will be there.
- 8:55Right. See you on the next one.
- 8:57Hopefully back out camping,
- 9:01not in the van.
