The CFX5 25 is Dometic's most compact compressor coolbox – but despite its compact 25-litre size, it still delivers cold that actually means cold. Not "slightly cool after three hours in a warm car" cold. Proper, consistent, fridge-temperature cold. It gets there via a clever combination of vacuum insulated panels and a variable-speed compressor that adjusts output automatically to maintain temperature. Highly efficient low power consumption means it’ll run off a standard 12V vehicle socket. Bluetooth app connectivity means you can monitor and adjust temperature from your phone, while the weatherproof TFT colour display handles things on the ground. A removable lid, interior LED lighting, wire basket, built-in bottle opener, and folding alloy handles round out an impressively considered package. Holds 40 cans or five 1.5L bottles, and operates in ambient temperatures up to a scorching 43°C – which you're unlikely to encounter in the UK, but is good to know nonetheless.

Dometic has spent decades making cold storage smarter. Founded in Sweden in 1922, the company started life making home refrigerators. A century later, they're the global benchmark for mobile cooling – trusted by vanlifers, overlanders and professional adventurers alike. The philosophy hasn't changed much: make the best possible version of the thing, then make it easier to live with.
Today, that means incorporating smart tech like app-connected coolboxes, as well as clever modular systems designed around how people actually pack a vehicle. Whether you're spending a month in your campervan, going car camping with mates, or just packing for a family day trip with a boot full of optimism, there's a Dometic setup for it.
You can expect whisper-quiet compressor cooling in a range of practical sizes from 25L to 95L. Meanwhile, the Recon system rethinks what a coolbox is entirely – modular, stackable, vehicle-optimised, and up to 30% lighter than rivals. A full ecosystem of accessories completes the picture: hydration taps, dividers, baskets, totes, lights, and reusable ice blocks, all designed to work together as an integrated system to build outdoor kit designed with actual intent.
