I have a question specifically about the Bushman C35 Portable Expandable Fridge 35L-52L.

The Bushman publicity material outlines three zones when the fridge is expanded to 52L: -2C on the bottom, +2C in the middle and +6C on the top. It's not clear what the thermostat is set to for these temps, but I assume it's -2C.

However -2C isn't really a freezer temp. I have read reports (perhaps here - I've read a lot of fridge threads) that some people have placed items like plywood or insulating foam just above the bottom zone, which has enabled them to turn the temp of the lower zone down several degrees, while roughly maintaining the temps of the other zones. But these have only been references in passing. I was hoping for a clearer description of how successful this was. Anyone here tried this?

Please also note that (i) I haven't ruled out a proper dual-zone fridge; (ii) I I realise that turning down the temp increases battery usage; & (iii) I already use a vacuum sealer.
