The Alpicool NL9 is a 9-litre compressor fridge freezer that sits tenth in this guide to electric cool boxes. At £88.22, with 4.4 out of 5 from 79 ratings, it is a fridge rather than a cooler: the compressor named in the spec table's Cooling Method field is what allows the listing to claim a range of -20°C to 20°C and to sell the box as a freezer too. The bullets say it holds 12 x 355 ml cans or 11 x 500 ml bottles, runs from car and mains adapters on 12V/24V DC and 100-240V AC with three levels of battery protection, weighs 6.4 kg and measures 46 x 32.8 x 26.1 cm.

The finding on this entry runs against the guide's theme. The litres do not move. The title says 9L, the bullets say 9 L, and Size, Capacity, FreezerCapacity and Refrigerator Net Capacity all read 9 litres — four spec fields that agree with each other and with the headline, which is not the case for the 25-litre and 40-litre boxes elsewhere in this guide. The other numbers still need reading carefully. "Cools from -20°C to 20°C" is a range rather than one setting. The spec table lists Voltage as 12 Volts (DC) while a bullet promises 12V, 24V and mains. One bullet carries two different 45s: 45 dB of noise and a 45° anti-tilt limit. And the spec table lists a Processor Count of 1, which has nothing to do with a fridge. Everything on this page comes from the Alpicool listing on Amazon — the price, the rating, the specs and the reviews — and nothing here was tested by us.

## Questions people ask

**How much does the Alpicool NL9 hold?**

The listing gives two figures: 9 litres in the title and in every capacity field, and 12 x 355 ml cans or 11 x 500 ml bottles in the bullet.

**Can the Alpicool NL9 be used as a freezer?**

Yes, according to the listing. The bullets claim cooling from -20°C to 20°C for use as a fridge or freezer, and the spec table lists Has Convertible Freezer as Yes and Defrost System Type as Frost Free.

**What can it run off?**

The bullet says car and mains adapters are included for 12V/24V DC and 100-240V AC, with three levels of battery protection. The spec table only lists 12 Volts (DC).

**Is it a cool box?**

Not in the usual sense. The spec table lists Cooling Method as Compressor and the Alpicool NL9 is sold as a car fridge freezer, which is a different job from a thermoelectric cooler.

**How loud is it, and what are the two 45s?**

One bullet claims 45 dB of noise and, in the same sentence, a 45° anti-tilt limit for cooling on inclines. They are two different measurements that happen to share a number.

**What is the rating?**

4.4 out of 5 from 79 ratings. The breakdown is 77 five-star, 12 four-star, 2 two-star and 9 one-star, which sums to 100 rather than 79, so read those as shares rather than counts.
