The Everdure CUBE charcoal grill is a unique little grill that can truly go almost anywhere with you. It’s lightweight and only 17-inches long, yet still can handle almost any grilling challenge a griller on the go could hope to throw at it. It has a built-in heat protection shield and chrome handles that remain cool while cooking, and the removable charcoal tray offers easy cleanup when you’re finished at the campground or on the beach. Wherever you intend to do some grilling this summer, the Everdure CUBE charcoal grill is a great option as a copilot. There are some limitations in this mode. First, it’s recommended that the left-hand compartment (the one with the basket) is set as the freezer, and the right-hand compartment set as the fridge. In this configuration, the fridge compartment is up to 15°C warmer than the freezer zone. Just be aware of using the ice maker in battery mode. I found that making large ice cubes used 8% of the battery. With the Glacier in fridge/freezer mode, I took temperature readings to see how well temperatures were maintained. On average, the fridge recorded a temperature of 4.7°C (0.7°C higher than the targeted temperature). With a maximum of 11.2°C and a minimum of 2.2°C, temperature variance is a little higher than with a regular fridge. Standard deviation showed that temperatures mostly fluctuated between +/-1.23°C. That’s not terrible, particularly for a portable fridge, which will mainly be used for short-term storage.

From the app, I could control temperatures and turn on the ice-making function, as well as monitor the charging status. Battery and charging Even better, it can work off-grid via its battery (chargeable via solar), if you need to go somewhere without power. Design and features the installed gross capacity of the photovoltaic system does not exceed or will not exceed 30 kilowatts (peak), according to the Marktstammdatenregister. As well as using the physical controls, the EcoFlow Glacier is also app-controlled using the EcoFlow app. This is the same app for the company’s other products, including the EcoFlow Blade robot lawn mower. The interior of the Glacier can be divided into two separate temperature zones, each with its own temperature settings. This allows you to chill drinks on one side of your cooler and keep food cold or even frozen on the other. You can pour water into the designated area on the top of the cooler to create ice cubes in minutes. The removable divider can serve as a cutting board when preparing meals, and the interior light of the refrigerator will help you find what you need even in the dark.Whether you’re camping, on a picnic or simply hosting a party at home, having enough cooling for food and drinks can be an issue, unless you have the Ecoflow Glacier, that is. A portable fridge/freezer, this clever contraption can cool, freeze and even make ice. In this mode, the EcoFlow Glacier can set a target temperature using the controls on the front. It can be set between -25°C and 10°C, going between a freezer and a fridge.

Flip open the lid and you get access to the inside. This has just over half the space taken up by a wire basket, with the remainder open up. It’s useful having the wire basket, as I could lift out most of the items, making the fridge easier to carry to its destination.
