Koolatron12V Electric Cooler/Warmer with Handle 34L (36 qt) - Portable Thermoelectric Fridge for Camping Travel Road Trips and Picnics - Compact Lightweight and Durable

We bought this because we were going to a week long camp (in a college dormitory). We had heard that the one refrigerator in the dorm gets quite crowded and things can "disappear". Taking a conventional cooler was not an option because there was no ice maker on the premises and the nearest town was inconveniently located 10 miles away.This cooler worked great keeping our perishables cool for the 7 hour drive to the camp. We were pleased that the insulation was good enough to keep thing cold even when we stopped for a few hours along the way. (Note: The cooler only works when the car ignition is on; this keeps you from draining your car battery when the car is off).When we arrived at the camp, we switched to AC power. The cooler worked great on AC as well. (Note: The AC/DC converter is not included with the cooler; you must purchase it separately). We were very happy to have this at the camp. It also came in handy when we stayed at smaller motels that did not have a fridge in the room.The only problem we had was that after about 2 weeks of near constant use, it stopped working in the motel. We discovered that the cooler still worked on DC (in the car), so the problem was with the AC/DC converter. We read on line that other have had this problem with the 5.0 amp converter recommended by Amazon. Since we were traveling it was not convenient to get a replacement. We took the advice of another reviewer and bought a 5.5 amp converter at Canadian Tire. Since we got the high amp rated converter, things are working great.Do yourself a favor do not buy the 5.0 amp converter. Buy a 5.5 amp one instead.

Arrived on time. If I didn't need SOME KIND OF COOL, I'd return it. The inside tray can't hold any weight. Now it's bent and doesn't want to go back into the track. Should've been metal. The doors' hinges are rubber with screws. I don't believe that's going to last long. And my door WON'T stay closed since I'm using it as a stand up. The magnetic door closure is a joke. It won't stay cool because the door refuses to stay shut. It was advertised as a stand up as well, so I'm attempting to use it as such. My drinks come tumbling out on a turn or a sudden stop. I keep a case of water directly in front of it to try to prevent the door from opening. I can't attest to the coolness, because I haven't had it a week, and can't use it fully to verify. I'm a truck driver. My ac just went out, and I needed cool. I've got cooler than inside cab temperatures. It's cheaper to keep the cooler than inside cab temperature "cooler", than to drink very hot liquid. I will not purchase this brand or product again, nor will I recommend for stand up use. Probably better suited for lay down use, but I can't confirm. The heat works well. I connected it incorrectly first and put my drinks in for parking overnight. The next morning I open the "cooler" to almost hit to the touch water bottles. If that is what you need it for, then go for it because the heater element is great. I only have 9 water bottles inside in the stand up option because that's all it'll hold. Keep what I've stated in mind. I'm a fair reviewer of products I buy. You've been warned. Maybe mine is defective.

My dad is a truck driver and needed a cooler. He loves this one runs quiet keeps drinks and cold cuts cold for him on hot days and when he can’t get to a store. Perfect size for him. Value for money. Durable, and versatile can stand up as an upright with shelves or side ways as a cooler.

We decided to go on a three week trip up the eastern seaboard. We brought fruit, drinks, and sandwich stuff. The Koolatron, at first, took about 12 hours to cool down. But once it was cool it stayed cool. It doesn't get stuff really, really cold but cold enough that some of sandwich stuff made the three week round trip and was still in good shape. And it is sooooo much better than keeping your stuff cold with ice. There's no worrying about melting ice, no pouring out the water created by the ice, and then worrying when and where you need to get ice. My wife and I are so glad we found this coolerator.

It does a good job keeping cool things cool. I gave temperature control a 3 because there is no adjustment. Best to power it up several hours before you use it so it can get cooled down. If you put room temperature beverages in a room temperature cooler it will be tomorrow before they are cool enough to enjoy. We used it for a week while traveling with it plugged in the truck while moving and used a 12 volt adapter in the motel room. It worked great using it like this and no ice mess. The plastic shell had a lot of stray pieces of plastic sticking out that needed trimmed off.

Great cooler. Traveled to Arizona and back. Bought the adapter so we could keep things cold when not in the car. Worked great. Light weight

Read lots of reviews for cool boxes I can run from the 12V socket in the back of my car and plug in overnight. This one seemed to have the best reviews and we have now used it over a 1 month period as a cool box for fridge items whilst supporting cyclists going from Lands End to John O Groats.In summary - its been brilliant. I've needed the air conditioning on in the car (to give you an idea of external temperatures) and it kept the chocolate bars hard and cold (and cyclists love a cold Kit Kat). We didn't have any issues with milk going off, or cheese weeping.Overnight, powered by the mains, there was ice sometimes at the bottom of the box - so it does get cold. My car does keep power to the 12V socket for 1 hour after stopping, which meant it was still working whenever we had a break. Other cars don't do this - and I suspect this is why it doesn't work so well for other people.On one training day when it was really cold outside, we turned it to warm, and gave the cyclists, warm sausage rolls and pastries. They loved it!I've used it in both orientations, but the shelf doesn't hold much weight and in the end, we used it like a cool box, rather than a fridge.Worth very penny - its been brilliant for us!

Enfría poco,unos 20° grados por debajo temperatura ambiente ,en climas más fríos funcionará mejor pero por donde vivo se queda corto,estoy pendiente de devolverlo,servicio post venta muy malo les he enviado correos solicitando devolución y no contestan,no lo volvería a comprar

je m en ai servi durant une semaine et elle a très bien fonctionner , ne doit pas être au soleil

OMG WOW! Bought this as an emergency replacement for the fridge on my boat which was faulty and draining my batteries. It wasn't expensive and so i didn't have high expectations for this chiller and boy was I so wrong. It's quite, uses very little power and gets so cold that small drops of ice formed from the condensation. My home fridge is set to 2 degrees and this is just as good as the real thing. Food was kept fresh, beer ice cold I can genuinely say it was worth every penny and more!
