What the SetPower sheet says
- The manual lists 22.1 lb and 24.3 × 13.1 × 11.9 in.
- The compressor warranty is 3 years. Other parts are 1 year.
- ECO mode is sold as 28W or less. A full box in a hot car uses more than the sticker.
- The coldest published setting is −4°F. The ice pack is claimed to hold for up to 50 hours after you unplug.
What the BougeRV sheet says
- The Amazon listing prints 22.27 lb and under 45W in ECO mode. BougeRV’s current US chart says 21.2 lb and 36W ECO / 45W MAX. There is no app.
- An older CR22 manual lists 45W ECO and 60W MAX. The Canada chart still shows those higher numbers.
- The warranty in the manual is 2 years from the purchase date.
- Roundups in 2026 cited about 4.6 stars from roughly 3,100 ratings. Check the listing. That number moves.
The points above are published specs and one rating figure from 2026 roundups. They are not copied reviews, and a sticker watt is not what a full box draws on a hot afternoon. Updated October 2026.
Questions buyers ask
Which one should I buy?
The SetPower if you care about the warranty and what happens when you unplug. The BougeRV if you want the colder freezer and the lower price.
Will either one drain the car battery?
Not if you use the mid or high cutoff. Both stop the compressor before a starter battery goes flat. A full night still wants a house battery or a power station.
Which one freezes colder?
The BougeRV. −8°F against −4°F. Both will make ice. The CR22 has more room when the car is hot.
Do I need a power station?
For a drive on the 12V socket, no. For camp with the engine off, yes. Pre-cool on household power before you leave. The station comparison is here.
