Review on ๏ธ๐Ÿฅถ Wagan EL6225 12V Cooler/Warmer - 24L Capacity in Gray: Energy Efficient Travel Companion for Food and Beverages by Adewole Sherman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Lasts excellent for approx. 5400 miles. Then I got tired from driving

I just got back from a 3 week trip in the US. I bought this cooler (not used as a heating pad) for about $90 for this purpose. I plugged the cooler into the cigarette lighter socket behind the driver/passenger/trunk armrest. So I can place it behind the passenger seat. This served two main purposes: First, I can fetch/open the fridge to get treats. Sometimes it's difficult because the radiator is quite deep. But not bad for tall items like soda bottles. Second, the instructions suggest turning off the device when the car is turned off to avoid a power surge when the car is turned on again. January 2018: I have used this cooler on 3 trips across the country and am planning to use it again on my March 2018 trip. still love him This is a very large refrigerator. Because of this, I had to put the front passenger seat in the car forward and raise the backrest almost vertically. This allowed the cool box to be placed and I was able to open the lid and fold down the very well folded carrying handle. I have no major complaints about the features, design, weight and space with this cooler. In fact, I've experienced the illusion that this fridge appears to be lighter when carried than the items carried inside (?). Opening the lid seems a little tricky but I think I'm used to it. The only thing I would like to change about the design is to replace the on/off toggle switch with a push button. Remember that this type of cooler does not contain freon and acts as a heat exchanger. For this reason it is written in the characteristic curves as follows: It is cooled to 40 degrees below ambient temperature. If it works in an air-conditioned car, the contents will be pretty cold. If you drive in 95 degree weather with the windows open it will be a lot less. Finally, the unit comes with a spare fuse, which I hope can be found at your local hardware store.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Packaging is ugly
