A fridge, a freezer, a solar-powered wonder child called the Anywhere Fridge. Portable for camping and sturdy and weather-resistant for transport or permanent outdoor installation, this wheeled powerhouse of food preservation seeks Indiegogo funding through July 18, 2014.
The Anywhere Fridge is made of 4 collapsible metal walls. It breaks down flat for storage and then pops up with an extendable handle for schlepping along on road trips, tailgates, and rustic(ish) tent getaways, or just setting up by the pool for easy refreshment access during the summer. Its top solar panels absorb sunlight all day long, using some of this energy to run the fridge during daytime hours, and the rest to charge the ion battery that keeps the fridge outputting cold air all night long. The battery can also be charged using a standard outlet or car cigarette lighter, and serves to power 2 built-in USB ports for device charging.
With small and large sizes available, the Anywhere Fridge proposes to replace heavy, sometimes sloshy coolers and ice chests. Its programmable temperature settings range from -8 degrees F to 75 degrees F, and a Fast Freeze function is able to rapidly drop the cooler's temperature to its -8 low. Small Anywhere Fridges weigh 20 pounds and have a 30-quart storage capacity. Large versions weigh 40 pounds and can store 80 quarts of food and drinks. Small dimensions: 12" long x 9" tall x 18" deep. Large dimensions: 25" long x 10" tall x 19" deep.
Fridge Skins
Dressing up kids and pets is so passe. The new canvases of self-expression are appliances. And the most decadent of appliance haute couture is Kudu's magnetic fridge skins--panels that adhere to refrigerators' full facades...

When you're done tearing through trails and drinking up the adrenaline rush, and are ready to chill out at the beach and drink up a cold beer, trade in the ATV for the ATC: Igloo's Trailmate all-terrain cooler. The 70-quart...

Biersafe Underground Beer Cooler
The Biersafe Underground Beer Cooler is a smaller, simpler, and much cheaper version of a design I first saw in the eCool cooler. The Biersafe removes some of the nifty engineering of the eCool - like, instead of using...
The Groundfridge
Bomb shelter? Underground fort? Not really. But Dutch designer Floris Schoonderbeek's Groundfridge is big enough for me to pop a squat inside and go all Jabba the Hutt chowing down on the 1,100 pounds food and drink she...
TARDIS Fridge Skin Kit
Yikes, $185 for the TARDIS fridge skin kit. But it's customized to fit your specific cooler's make and model, so at least you know it will look as sick in your own kitchen as it does in the one in the photo. And if any...

Anker EverFrost Powered Cooler
Got an Ankering for everlasting coolness? To be clear, it's for your food and drinks in Anker's EverFrost Powered Cooler, not your body that runs perpetually hot, or your geeky image...
Life-Size RC R2-D2 Refrigerator
You probably won't be so bummed to hear that this life-size remote control R2-D2 refrigerator is available only in Japan once you hear that Lucasfilm's Far East minions are charging over $8,000 for it. Oh, and the fridge's...

Refrigerator Coffee Table
This refrigerator coffee table is probably a Sobro cooler coffee table knockoff, and it's not a whole lot cheaper, but if you prefer the color and design to what's available elsewhere, the features and functions will...
The Stuff Stopper Under-Fridge Bumper
The Stuff Stopper stops dropped fish eyes, spilt civet poop coffee beans, and that edible dehydrated zebra tarantula that wasn't quite fully dehydrated from scurrying into the abyss beneath your fridge. Install the extendable...

Sobro Cooler Coffee Table
From Coolest Cooler to cooler coffee table. And like its portable predecessor, Sobro has plenty of gadgety bells (dual speakers on the sides) and whistles (tabletop touch controls for all built-in systems) to complement...
Rubik's Cube Mini Fridge
If you can solve this Rubik's Cube in 2 minutes or less I'll give you 1 million dollars. Awwww, shucks. Yeah, I did know the segments don't actually move. Why else would I put the offer on the table? I don't think I even...

Refrigerator Door Lock
I like how the people who sell this refrigerator lock advertise it as a good way to secure sensitive medications or other restricted items, especially in public places like schools and hospitals, but every person who's...
