Dometic CFX3 55IM
12V fridge with built-in ice maker, WiFi control and 53L total capacity
The Dometic CFX3 55IM combines a built-in ice maker, WiFi connectivity and smartphone app control in a 53L 12V fridge. It is a feature-rich portable fridge suited to tech-savvy campers who want remote temperature monitoring and the convenience of on-board ice.
Our Verdict
Dometic's CFX3 range represents the current generation of portable refrigeration. The 55IM model has a total capacity of 53L, comprising a 38L main compartment and a 15L ice maker compartment. The ExoFrame construction provides impact resistance, while the CFX3 app lets you monitor and adjust temperatures remotely. The unit operates on 12V/24V DC and 100–240V AC. Power consumption varies by ambient temperature and settings — check Dometic's published figures for your conditions. Note that the ice maker compartment reduces the available food storage space compared with a standard 53L fridge.
