5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST if Traveling with an Electric Cooler., May 24, 2009

This review is from: Black & Decker CV6B / Vector VEC004 / Travel Mate / Rubbermaid / 6.0 Amp AC/DC Converter (Lawn & Patio)

This is a must have if traveling with a 12V Thermoelectric Cooler, or any 12 volt appliance that you will need when out of your vehicle. That could be for a overnight motel stay or for an extended stay without a direct 12V power source. All you need is a 110 volt wall outlet.

I have used this use this on my Koolatron Voyager Thermoelectric Cooler - P-27 as well as my B & D cooler for quite a few years now with no problems.

This converter is compatible with B&D cooler's, but will also work well with most other coolers and 12V appliances provided they don't have over a 6 amp power draw, " Most are under 6 amp ". This works well for pre cooling your cooler before putting it in your vehicle. It also has a green LED light to let you know it is on.

The Converter will get quite warm when in use this is normal, all converters do it. When you buy a converter make sure it is 6 Amp, much less than that probably won't work on some larger appliances.

NOTE** The photo Amazon is showing is NOT the B&G CV6B converter. Check out my photo on customer image on the product page. Thanx

4.0 out of 5 stars great converter, September 3, 2009

This review is from: Black & Decker CV6B / Vector VEC004 / Travel Mate / Rubbermaid / 6.0 Amp AC/DC Converter (Lawn & Patio)

I used this converter to power a Koolatron cooler almost every night for two weeks of a road trip. It kept the cooler working in the hotel rooms. I did notice that it would get fairly warm during the process though, so I took extra pains to set it on smooth surfaces such as a table or on smooth flooring. That extra precautions is why it only received 4 stars instead of 5.

This adapter provides the power for their thermoelectric cooler. It does the job adequately and is quite useful for getting the cooler cooled down prior to travel. An excellent product.
