Product Information
Full details
The Dometic CFX5-55 is a high-performance 55-litre portable compressor coolbox designed for outdoor enthusiasts, campers, and overlanders who require reliable refrigeration during off-grid travel.

One notable caveat is its weight of over 20 kg, which, while reflecting its robust construction, may require assistance for lifting when fully loaded.
