KoolatronIceless 12V Electric Cool Box, 34L Portable Cooler/Warmer Car Refrigerator Fridge, DC Power Cord, Grey/White, Travel, Camping, Trucking, Made in North America

Dont want gas in my camper and my Waeco CF25 fridge is pumped system but getting unreliable draining my 2 leisure batteries in its struggles so bought this to replace or assist.Basically it's a posh cool box with no controls and with that technology it is on 24/7 drawing 4amps which is inacceptable for me as I'm a wild camper and don't visit campsites so my batteries have to function 48 hours at least between charges. My plan is to buy a 12v timer to halve the consumption and hope to make this work.If you are tempted then I suggest you take account of the current depletion as it is ON permenantly.In an ordinary car it's only suitable for day trips out discharging for no more than an hour or two at a venue, too risky to draw more on your main function battery I reckon. If you are in a camper and stopping overnight in sites with electric hook up no worries however the motor hum IS INCESSANT and annoying when the sound of silence is what you are seeking.With the timer I'm buying I'm hoping to cut out half the noise and cut out half the battery consumption.So finally just remember this is not a refrigerator it's a cool box which will keep your stuff cool, cold even but will struggle interminably to get room temperature volumes down to cold.So cool the box in good time before using, ensure stuff you are taking spends extended time in your home fridge so it can be placed in this box colder than you intend to use it. Then this box will delay the warming and you should have cool fresh produce for a decent amount of time if the box is controlled with a timer. I honestly believe that placing two or three 2 litre bottles straight from the supermarket shelves into this box on a run will will have no serious cooling effect and will tend to warm the interior to the detriment of other stuff inside. Stuff needs to be COLD already before placing it inside.So what you get is a very expensive cool box or conversely a cheap fridge which could take a bit of planning and extra equipment to enjoy.

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!

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!

Product works well in cooling mode, haven't tried warm mode. Arrived with grease looking internal scratches and appeared to have signs of some usage. Lid a tiny bit warped, for the price you'd expect perfection. Had to use over a long weekend, the box runs fairly quiet and keeps a constant temperature which is good. I'd recommend but I'd check it over fully upon delivery.

Despite a couple of negative reviews i’d read about how long it takes to cool and a noisy fan, I bought it, as the price was reasonable and it was a large size and ideal for our upcoming week in Center Parcs.I bought the dedicated cable that Amazon suggested, so that I can plug it into the mains so I can use it at home as a beer and wine cooler and keep food chilled whilst travelling in the car, making it ideal for picnics.We had it plugged in to the mains in the lounge on our week away and no one noticed the fan. I put beers at room temperature in the unit and 3 to 4 hours later they were chilled and ready to drink!All in all I think this is a great piece of kit and well worth the money.
