Review: Really pleased with this - I’ve just used this for the first time on a long journey by ferry and car. It worked really well on mains power in my hotel room (you can vary the temperature and fan speed when using mains power) and in the car (where it operates at maximum and can’t be changed). Half power is good enough to keep things cold and is perfectly quiet enough to sleep next to. I put some freezer blocks in before a 12 hour ferry crossing when the fridge would be switched off and to my amazement, they were still frozen solid at the end of the journey - so excellent insulation too. Thoroughly recommended if you need to keep drinks or food or medicines cold while travelling. Slightly short cables so you might need a 12V extension cable unless you have a 12V socket in your car’s boot. Alternatively it fits nicely in the front passenger footwell.
Review: A great bit of kit. - I purchased it mainly for my attic man-cave, so that I don't have to trudge down to the kitchen every time I want a cold drink or snack. So far, it's been absolutely brilliant in its 240V mains mode. The fact that the temperature is adjustable is great. I use a standard fridge thermometer to keep the contents at a steady 4-7C, and only have to boost the intensity to full for an hour or so, when loading-up the cool-box. Otherwise, it works fine at about half power. At this setting, the fan noise is negligible.

*by N***E on 5 June 2024*

Wanted this as extra storage for boat trips. Perfect size. Kept drinks lovely and cold but it does drip internally - fine for bottles and cartons but anything in paper or cardboard outer needs placed in a zip bag! Would buy again.
