bought this cooler as a gift for my husband. he is on the road all day and tired of drive-thru. he was using a regular cooler and the ice packs just wouldn't keep drinks cool all day on the blistering hot days. my husband loves this electric cooler. he does not pre-chill the cooler before packing it, but all food and drinks placed in the cooler are pre-chilled. he does not have to add ice packs, the cooler does the job. my husband's only negative comment is he wishes the power cord was a little longer.

1st cooler was received damaged, but i called customer service and i had the replacement in 3 days. no cost to customer to return the damaged one.

Very disappointed in this product. The first time I used it the plastic hinge on the lid became distorted. The lid is difficult to open.
The instructions was a single page and though written in English, were not clear. It took me a while to figure out how to make it cool or warm. It stopped cooling after one use and I had it plugged in correctly.

The provided strap was unattached. No Instructions were included on how to attach the strap. Also, the strap is a cheaper version of what is displayed on the packaging.

I'll go back to my old ice cooler.

This cooler is a great product, no problems w/ the quaility of it. It was smaller than what I needed. I made several attempts to return & exchange for a larger model. I requested 3 times a return thru email ( as directed). With no reponse from the shipper. Extremely dissapointed with customer service!

They really need to have thermostats on this. That said, it works, it works well, and it does what the advertisement says it will.

Sorry, but this item was a total dud. It failed to cool as indicated and the coil froze up imediately. Item was returned with no problem.

I saw this cooler on one of the money saving blogs I read and bought it for our trip across the country. Perfect! We loaded it full of frozen baby food, milk, cheese, etc each morning before we left and every night the frozen food was still almost completely frozen when we got to our next destination. Very simple and easy to use. Small and compact. Won't be traveling without it in the future

The P9 Koolatron works well and is the size I wanted. But the fan noise is excessive, very irritating. I bought a $5 CPU fan from a computer store
and modified it and replaced the fan that came with the cooler. It is now much quieter and it works well. The manufacturer should put in a better fan.

I received this in fine shape. It works well for what it is intended. It is designed to keep thing kool - and it does. To cool from warm, takes a few hours.

First off, the cooler is quite small, I own a 26qt Koolatron that cost almost the same, and puts this one to shame. Sure it says 9.8qt, but it sure doesn't hold that much considering the contents you add, will be of different sizes and shapes. If you don't put your cold items inside already chilled, it will be at least 3-4 hours to reach proper temp. Do yourself a favor and buy the bigger 26qt. I can't comment on the heating aspect since I did not use that, so I gave it a 3 star instead of lower.

This product is really not worth the money. It didn't keep our things very cool during our 12 hour car trip. Also not much room inside.
