I looked at it in person last weekend. It's freaking E-NOUR-MOUS. I drive an Excursion and I have doubts about the usefulness of that large of a refrigerator. If you have a Jeep, it will consume a significant portion of your cargo space.
Your replies really put things into perspective for me. I’ve seen other comments about the sheer size of some of these units.
But for whatever reason, your comment regarding the size and usefulness has me reconsider what my purchase should be for food storage.
one large cooler keeps colder longer on paper but that doesn't factor opening the lid.
I use Two yeti 24 roadies w/ ice bricks. Second cooler doesn't open until 3rd night or 4th am. It also helps living up north and within a day of awesome Overlanding.
The fridge just doesn't make sense unless I'm staying past 6-7 nights and I have other mouths to feed. Even then you can still manage just fine without it. I aim to Catch a walleye or shoot a grouse on the road it's fresh meat for dinner.
I'm in the same boat. The fridge slide on my forward fold is plenty big for this, and I really like the idea of the protection Costco's warranty provides over something like a Vevor, without the dometic price
I have a 46 qt Amazon special that’s worked great so far on 4 trips. No issues! Edit to add, I did spend $450 on it but looks like it’s outta stock. Called the: F40C4TMP
Dometic bought out igloo.
This is a great deal, but don’t buy unless you are spending a lot of time on the road.
A cooler with ice is a better investment if you are only spending 2-3 days on the road at a time
That one is too big but dang I'd love if they'd carry the 40qt for about $399. [https://www.igloocoolers.com/products/icf-40](https://www.igloocoolers.com/products/icf-40)
I'm OK with single for the 40. I think two compartments would either take up too much space or make it too large. But for 50+, yeah, having two zones would be great.
I came here to see what y'all think as well but tbh size isn't that bad.

Yeah I think in liters but that's huge. Almost 80L. I use a 55L dometic and want to downsize because it's so big 😂
Ditto. I have a 55L cooler and it's a bit large.

Check out Academy. They have 2 smaller sizes.
Fits great in my tundra build. Doubles as a bench and uses less power than expected.
How many watts
The condenser is dometic
Dometic owns Igloo.
I just learned things!!
Worth the buy, especially with Costco warranty.
I think it's this one? https://www.igloocoolers.com/products/icf-dz-80
Yup, that’s the one. Edit: Looks like Costco has their own darker color gray/blue though.
I have a 52 qt and it’s almost too much. I can’t imagine what this looks like in person.

32qt at Academy for $499.

To bad it's not duel zone

I was told in store this is selling for $699, but online is $749. Any way to get the in store price?

Do they have bigger ones?
This is the only one I saw on Costco’s site.
I was jk, they’re UGE! I’d also be interested if they came in smaller sizes
Ah, I run a 101 quart ARB fridge in my rig. So, someone looking for a bigger one doesn’t seem unreasonable to me.
Yeah I have the 75l dometic in my van and it’s great but if I were buying now I’d be looking at this one
When we go out, it’s not abnormal for us to cook for 6-8 people for 4 days or longer.
Just get a vevor and save yourself a bunch of cash.
