AAOBOSI Campervan Fridge 83L review

Overview

The AAOBOSI Campervan Fridge 83L is a compressor fridge-freezer designed for a more permanent campervan or motorhome installation. It ranks #5 in our list of the top 10 best-selling car fridges and electric cool boxes on Amazon UK, with an 8/10 score and our Best fitted campervan fridge award. Its separate fridge and freezer sections set it apart from simpler cool boxes, while app control and a reversible door suit a tailored van layout.

It sits below the larger #1 AAOBOSI 95L Dual-Zone Fridge in our ranking, and is a more substantial fitted-style option than the #4 AAOBOSI Camping Fridge 60L. The listing’s capacity figures need careful checking, though: the title says 83L, the bullets specify a 74L fridge plus 9L freezer, and the specifications also state 95L total capacity and an 83L freezer. Those figures do not agree, so confirm the actual usable capacity with the seller before buying.

Features and specification

The listing gives a fridge temperature range of 0–8°C and a freezer range of -20 to -12°C. It says the compartments can run simultaneously, with the freezer above the fridge. Controls are available on the appliance or through an Android/iOS app, which the listing says works without an internet connection. You can also check or adjust temperature, voltage and cooling mode.

For installation, the stated dimensions are 45.5 × 49.5 × 79cm and the weight is 23kg. The door can be reversed to open from either side, and the interior includes a crisper drawer, shelf, bottle holder, egg tray and light. Power is listed as 12/24V DC, while 240V also appears in the specifications; check whether a suitable mains adapter is included and compatible before relying on that option. Three-level battery protection is intended to cut power at low voltage. The listing claims noise below 45dB, but that is a manufacturer figure rather than a guarantee of quiet operation in a small van.

What owners say

Owners commonly praise its quick cooling, useful storage and ability to keep frozen food frozen on trips. Some report low power use with their own battery and solar setups, and several describe the running sound as unobtrusive. These experiences will depend on installation, ambient heat and the vehicle’s electrical system.

There are also reports of fan noise being more noticeable in confined spaces, and one buyer found the freezer smaller than expected. A more serious complaint describes a door that sat unevenly and did not seal properly, with hinge changes failing to resolve it. Check the door alignment and seal promptly after delivery.

Who should buy it

This is worth considering if you want a fixed-position campervan fridge-freezer, have room for its dimensions and value separate chilled and frozen storage. The reversible door and onboard controls give useful installation flexibility, while app control is a handy extra rather than a reason on its own to choose it.

Skip it if you need a lightweight portable cool box, are sensitive to fan noise while sleeping, or cannot confirm the capacity and power arrangements. Before ordering, ask the seller to clarify the usable fridge and freezer volumes, the 240V connection and the return process. Allow for its 23kg weight and check ventilation and door clearance in your planned space.
