The Dellonda DL13 is a 36L portable compressor fridge freezer/cool box designed for versatile use in cars, camping, and general travel. It operates on 12V, 24V, or 230V power supplies, making it suitable for both home and vehicle use.
Function Description:
This stylish and compact unit functions as a fridge freezer, capable of maintaining temperatures between -20°C and +20°C. Its primary purpose is to keep food and beverages cool or frozen during long road trips, camping adventures, or any situation requiring portable refrigeration. The unit features a dual-zone design, allowing individual temperature control for each compartment. However, if the zone divider is removed, only one temperature will be displayed and controlled. The compressor ensures efficient cooling performance.
