Keep cool or keep warm! I love the idea

I love how lightweight and compact this cool/warmer box is. It is convenient to take with you on the go as it comes with a carrying strap. It's a 12 volt cooler/warmer so I also bought a Wagan #9903 5 amp power supply. I plug it in overnight the day before a trip and then plug it into my car's cigarette lighter to keep everything cold. My wife also uses it to keep her meds cold when traveling. This is perfect for my family.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons

It warms up your drink instead!

My worst purchase! I bought this to have cold or at least refreshing drinks for me and my kids when we are not at home. Not only did it not chill anything, but it warmed my drinks from the inside. I was so scared I figured if I didn't check the whole damn thing it might start a fire in our car. At first I just thought it would take longer. However, I did notice the drinks getting hot. As I looked around I realized how hot it was inside! Make no mistake!

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Cools quickly and runs quietly.

Bought to replace my Coleman thermoelectric when it broke. So far very, very happy with it! For some reason I saved money and bought the smallest version... I guess I wasn't familiar enough with the Wagan Tech brand. I don't usually need a lot of storage space for lunch and drinks, but there were times when it would have been nice to have that option. In any case, this refrigerator appears to be a quality product. Robust construction, light weight. Runs quieter and cools faster than my old…

Pros
  • Easy Install
Cons
  • Frequency

Great travel companion!

This cooler was perfect for my needs! It's thin enough to fit between the two back seats of my van and also serves to separate two kids on our long car ride! I also bought an AC-DC converter to keep the cooler cool before leaving. It keeps drinks cold throughout the ride. Even with short stopovers, the drinks stayed cool until the return. I was able to put a few more perishables in it on the way home and keep it cool for the journey home. I also liked the ability to switch to heating mode! On…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Some flaws

Beautiful and portable refrigerator

Purchased on the recommendation of a friend. This is a lovely little personal fridge/warmer that will come in handy for a family day out. It is very light and portable. I recently used it for a short trip to the beach. The cooler probably isn't cold enough to chill drinks from room temperature to cold (unless you have a very long drive ahead of you), but it's perfect for chilling chilled drinks on and off the road. As mentioned by other reviewers, this cooler only comes with a car adapter…

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Large and bulky

Great product, bad electronics

I loved everything about this cooler and the ability to travel without having to freeze ice every night. The main problem lies in the actual usage. You must disconnect the adapter from the power source every time you start the vehicle, otherwise you will damage the electronics in the cool box. This means you have to unplug every time you get off to view road signs or scenery, stop at a rest area, refuel, or make any number of stops you need to make along the way. I never thought we'd made so…

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Upgrades

Lightweight Electric Cooler

The first thing you will notice is that this cool box is very light. That's a big advantage considering you'll likely be putting six dice in it. An extra strap is also convenient to carry the cool box. It's also easy to use with a simple Warm/Off/Cold slider. Now for the more important details. I ran this cooler at around 71°F for 20 minutes and of course, as with any electronic device, made sure it was well ventilated. This is important because of how this device works. If it's too warm…

Pros
  • Good Price
Cons
  • Not Sure

Exceptional quality as advertised.

EXCELLENT QUALITY, EXCELLENT CONSTRUCTION. This fridge is ideal for small amounts of drinks, meals or other vegetables/snacks for short or long day trips. We have just used it for the first time, alternating 12v power in the car for 3-4 hours at a time and AC around the house (with the optional converter) during the day we traveled and used for short visits to family/ friends stopped. Everything stayed COLD all day and early evening; and the outside temperature from AZ was over 110 degrees that

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not bad

Works great - requires heavy duty wiring

We've driven this cooler twice before - 4500 miles to Mojave in a Jeep and 3000 miles to Arizona in a Subaru. Works perfectly. Keeps drinks and snacks like cheese and dried meat nice and cold. We install it in the middle of the back seat and can easily reach it from the front. Its noise level is quite low, road noise covers it. We usually store four drinks and snacks in it. Enough space. We had a third person with us when we got back from Arizona, and it was big enough for all our stuff. My…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember
