Little did I know that Acopower already provided that PLUS solar charging with its LiONCooler X series of appliances. Did the X40A answer this outdoor geek's prayers? Read to find out!

All were coincidentally rebranded units manufactured by Alpicool, but they lacked features I increasingly longed for: dual-temperature storage zones, transport wheels, removable wire racks, drain hole, and remote app control. The Costway 53qt car freezer was a popular, affordable choice among outdoorsy people with the additional properties I was looking for. Was it better than my favorite Foho appliances? In nearly every way, YES... Almost!

With no section divider (like the Foho), what does that mean in regards to temperature control, storage space, and flexibility? Here are my impressions.
