Totalcool products combine innovation, sustainability, and efficiency, ensuring you stay comfortable wherever your journey takes you. From our best-selling Totalfreeze fridge freezers to our innovative evaporative coolers, we develop products built to go with you.

What is the Totalfreeze series?

The Totalfreeze series is one of Totalcool's primary product lines, offering reliable and efficient portable cooling solutions for on-the-go use. The current range consists of the Totalfreeze 18, 35, 45, and 55, with each model tailored to different storage needs and available spaces.

The Totalfreeze series is a more budget-friendly alternative within the camping and travel fridge freezer market. Despite the lower price point, the Totalfreeze series offers excellent value for money without compromising on performance or key features. One of the standout features of the series (with the exception of the compact Totalfreeze 18) is the identical footprint of the 35, 45, and 55 models.

These models all share the same width and depth. Only the height differs, which also varies the internal capacity. Thanks to this smart, modular approach, you can easily account for storage and installation, especially in tight or awkward spaces such as campervans, car boots, or awnings. Each model is also suitable for different situations. For example, the Totalfreeze 35 is a compact and practical choice for day trips, smaller cars, or short camping weekends. It is easy to lift, store, and transport. The Totalfreeze 55, on the other hand, offers more space and is ideal for longer stays, group adventures, or a fixed setup, for instance under an awning or in a caravan porch.

With several sizes to choose from, the Totalfreeze series gives you the flexibility to select a model that perfectly suits your style of travel and the available storage space.

What is the Totalfreeze-XTREME series?

The TF-XTREME series is Totalcool's answer to the needs of demanding adventurers, overlanders, and professionals who expect that little bit more from their equipment. The TF-XTREME series is a more robust version of the standard Totalfreeze series, featuring extra durability, functionality, and ease of use. The series consists of the TF-X40 and TF-X50, both available in green and grey.

The foundation of the XTREME design is a reinforced, impact-resistant outer casing that withstands bumps, scratches, and rougher terrain without compromising performance. Additionally, the internal insulation is thicker, ensuring a more stable temperature and higher energy efficiency. This keeps your battery power consumption lower.

Thanks to the hard-wearing all-terrain wheels and the retractable, extra-sturdy handle, the fridge freezer is easy to move, even when fully loaded. Whether you are pulling it across a campsite, the beach, or unpaved surfaces, the TF-XTREME is designed to go with you.

The wheels of the TF-XTREME can also be removed, allowing it to fit into smaller spaces or be placed on our TF-Slide for an alternative storage solution. Inside, the fridge freezer features two independently controllable cooling zones. You can use one side as a fridge and the other as a freezer, or switch off one compartment entirely to save energy. This flexibility is ideal for longer trips where you need to store different types of food and drink.

For extra convenience, the TF-XTREME is equipped with an integrated cutting board in the lid. A small but thoughtful detail that is particularly useful in practice.

Key features

  • Robust outer casing

  • Independently controllable cooling zones

  • Removable wheels

  • Retractable, extra-sturdy handle

  • Lid that can be opened from both sides

Which one should you choose?

Choose Totalfreeze if:

  • You are looking for something lightweight and affordable.

  • You mainly use the fridge freezer in vehicles or setups where it does not need to be moved often.

  • You do not need two independently controllable cooling zones and always use one zone as a fridge.

Choose Totalfreeze-XTREME if:

  • You need a fridge freezer that can withstand rougher terrain.

  • You are serious about off-grid adventures or professional use.

  • You value robust construction and extra convenience.


  • Both series share Totalcool's reliable quality and innovative technology.

  • The difference lies primarily in the robustness of the construction, the thermal insulation, and the way you use the fridge freezer.
