The EcoFlow Glacier is a 38L portable dual zone fridge freezer with a built-in ice cube maker that can make ice cubes in just 12 minutes. It can run entirely off a 298Wh Li-ion battery, solar panels, a 12 or 24V car outlet or mains. The removable battery can also be used standalone as a compact battery pack with 100W USB-C charging. The Glacier can be controlled and monitored via its large LCD screen or a smart app that works over both Bluetooth and WiFi.
It looks to be a very impressive unit that comes under EcoFlow’s new Smart Devices subdivision that includes its Blade robot lawn mower I looked at recently and complements its comprehensive range of portable power stations and solar panels.
I’ll run through all its features and thoroughly test all of EcoFlow’s marketing claims to find out if this might be the perfect portable cooler for you. So let’s take a closer look.
