Review on ๐ŸงŠ K-Box 34 Quart Electric Cooler and Warmer - Dual 110V AC and 12V DC Plugs for Car and Home Use by Samiran Pusarla

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It has exceeded my expectations and works great

Just bought this for a 21 day overland trip. From the packaging it was exactly as advertised. I hooked it up to 120VAC and first added a bottle of cold water and a 2lb bag of room temperature beef jerky. I also put a thermometer inside and closed the lid. An hour later the temperature inside dropped 10 degrees and after 2 hours the temperature dropped another 10 degrees to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. I unplugged it and plugged it into a 12vdc portable power supply that I have with a cigarette lighter socket. I added a 16 ounce can of tomato soup that was room temperature (60 degrees). I left the house for 2 hours and when I came back the soup was chilled and the temperature inside was 40 degrees again. Someone said it was loud. Mine is so quiet I didn't think the fan was working. I love that it has built in AC and DC plugs and easy access to the bay. It is very light and weighs only a few kilograms. We plan on taking perishable food and snacks with us for our trip, taking a regular small ice box for our drinks and taking it to our room each night so we can plug it into the hotel's outlet. Both our car and truck have 12V DC and 120V AC outlets, so we can use them in our vehicles. We also take our dog on the trip and like to supplement his diet with minced lamb, so we leave that with him too. It exceeded all my expectations, which is rare these days. I haven't seen any electrical specs for it, I have a power monitor and plan on hooking it up to the monitor this weekend. The 120V AC outlets in my car are rated at 300W. I'm not sure if I can add photos now that I've posted this review, but if I can I'll post a picture of the Power Monitor LCD. It shows performance, cost per hour and carbon footprint.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Out of style
