Description

The Dometic CFX5 55IM is a 55L portable fridge freezer and electric cooler for camping, road trips and overland travel. The built-in ice maker turns out fresh ice at camp, so you can skip bagged ice.

It holds up to 84 12 oz cans, cools from -7F to 68F and runs on 12/24V DC or 100 to 240V AC, so it works in the vehicle, at camp or at home.

Why it works

  • Vacuum Insulated Panels (VIP) and a tight TPE lid gasket hold the cold
  • VMSO 3.5 compressor cools down to -7F
  • Bluetooth app tracks power use and temperature and alerts you if the lid is left open
  • Extended evaporator on the inner walls spreads cold air evenly
  • 3-stage dynamic battery protection
  • Self-folding aluminum alloy handles, removable nonslip lid and a built-in bottle opener
  • Integrated ice maker for fresh ice

Fit

Power: runs on 12/24V DC in the vehicle or 100 to 240V AC at home, with both cables included. There is no internal battery. Dometic's 3-stage battery protection watches the vehicle battery so the cooler doesn't drain it.

Size check: 28.35 x 17.91 x 18.9 in (D x W x H). M6 threaded inserts in the base let you bolt it down.

Options: choose Cooler Only, or Cooler + Protective Cover to add the Dometic protective cover (part 9620012810).

Questions

Does the CFX5 55IM ice maker work while the main compartment is a fridge?
Yes. Per Dometic, the ice maker zone makes ice cubes independently of the main compartment's temperature setting, so you can keep the rest of the cooler at fridge temperatures. The ice maker ships switched off from the factory, and you turn it on or off from the cooler's controls. Dometic suggests switching it off when you do not need ice.
How can I make several batches of ice quickly in the CFX5 55IM?
Cycle the ice maker. Dometic says it makes ice fast for a number of hours after it is switched on, then drops into an ice maintenance mode to save energy. Switching the ice maker off and back on puts it into fast ice making mode again, and you can repeat that as many times as you need.
How do I get the ice cubes out of the trays?
Open the ice maker housing lid, lift under the front of the ice trays, take off the tray covers and twist the trays to release the cubes, per Dometic. In high humidity an ice bond can form under the trays, so removal may take extra force with two hands. Refill the trays with water after taking them out of the housing.
Can I take the ice maker out of the CFX5 55IM to gain space?
Yes. Dometic designed the ice maker housing to be removable for cleaning or whenever you are not using it, which frees up usable space inside. Lift one end until the lug unclips, then pull it out; snap it back by pressing down on the lugs. Clean and dry the trays and housing before storing them to prevent mold.
What does the CFX5 55IM draw on 12V with the ice maker running?
Dometic rates it at 1.55 Ah per hour on 12V DC with the ice maker in maintenance mode, the inside at 4C and the room at 32C. Rated DC draw is 8.5A at 12V. Dometic notes that energy use rises with the ice maker on, and that low freezer settings may not hold in high outside temperatures while it runs.
What are the outside dimensions and weight of the CFX5 55IM?
It measures 28.35 inches deep, 17.91 inches wide and 18.9 inches tall, with a net weight of 44.44 lb, per Dometic. Inside, the 55 liter cooler holds up to 84 cans of 12 oz, and Dometic sizes it for up to six people on a weekend trip. M6 threaded inserts in the base allow bolting it down, and it runs from -7F to 68F.
