5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT TRAVEL COOLER, May 14, 2002

By 

OTTO (LIVERPOOL, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Coleman 40-qt. Thermoelectric Cooler (Misc.)

This is the best ICELESS travel cooler around. No ice to deal with, but the optional 120v converter is an absolute must. Also, check on the internet/truck stops for a BATTERY SAVER when running in auto (shuts cooler off when battery reaches certain voltage, turns it back on after you start the car). I have used one of these for several years for hotel travel, shopping at the supermarket, or going long distances or multiple stores to keep cold stuff cold until I get it home. Great to throw some drinks in for yourself and family (better than paying $1.25-2.00 a drink in many places in the summer). PLUS, with the 120v adapter, take it right into the hotel room with all your cold food and drinks and save a lot of money on restaurant meals. Add a reasonable sized George Foreman Grill, you can make a quick meal in a snap while traveling. I have saved a LOT with it, and usually alway have one with me...WIRED a three-gang cigarette lighter in trunk direct from the battery with a battery-saver wired in-line and this is absolutely the most awesome....cooler stays in the trunk, always there for a cold drink while traveling around from place to place! You can't beat these....I remember the days of dumping and adding ice and the water mess....these are the greatest!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Product (...), December 1, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Coleman 40-qt. Thermoelectric Cooler (Misc.)

I have been using this cooler for a couple of years now and it works well. I like to load it up the night before an outing, plug the cooler into the wall and then simply transfer it to the car the following morning. The only caveat is to make certain you select the proper setting otherwise your cold food will be warmed to about 125 degrees in a few hours. This cooler comes with a 12volt DC car adapter but [store] is selling the same cooler for [price] with a 12volt DC car adapter AND the AC converter for home use.

4.0 out of 5 stars An extra fridge, December 20, 2002

By 

Robert J Kramer (Everett, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Coleman 40-qt. Thermoelectric Cooler (Misc.)

Have had it about 3 weeks so far and it works as expected. For indoor use, it may be almost too cold...some of my stuff was starting to freeze a little. Haven't tested the heating yet. New version supposedly has a thermostat which would be useful if using in wide temp ranges. Also, it takes a while to cool stuff that is at room temperature, so some planning is needed. Used it when I hosted a holiday party and it was nice to not have everyone going in the fridge or making a mess with ice/water. I expect it to really shine while on road trips. This unit seems to give much more bang for buck than the tiny 9 can units advertised. So far, I recommend it!
