| This product works very well. I use mine 24/7 and have had no problems. I have left it in my truck for two days without starting the truck. It didn't run down my battery and it maintained temperature. The outside temperature was around 100 degrees. I would and have recomended this product to a friend. |

"Not happy" | 2008-09-17 |

| Overall, just not happy with this cooler. It's fits very perfectly behind the driver's seat of my SUV. The unit is smaller than the picture presents it. The picture shows 1/2 gallons of milk/juice in the cooler but neglects to tell you that you can't have anything in front of the fan. Therefore, 2 - 1/2 gallons don't fit. The unit is also really loud. I bought this cooler, and car adapter, to transport perishable items for a baby. Only I don't trust that it keeps milk and milk products cold enough. Nothing is ever cold. The temperature feels similar to something sitting in front of a fan. A regular cooler with ice would be better. If you're just storing soda, fine. But I wouldn't use it for longer periods of time with perishable items. Buy an Igloo cooler and lots of ice.br / |

| I ordered the Koolatron to carry my yogart, protein power drink and insulin on long travels. I commute 32 miles one way to the office and it keeps my lunch fresh. Remember though that your items should be cold already or from the fridge. It definitely does and job and fits nicely in my vehicle. |

We bought it to use on our sailboat so that we did not have to open the Ice Chest on Hot Days to remove luncheon meat or a drink. We use it with the AC/DC converter so that we use it mostly in port. (Don't like to use batteries when under sail.)
My wife feels that it works fine providing you cool it down well before using it. |

| Fit perfectly behind the front seat of our Cadillac. Cooler did an excellent job of working for our 3 week vacation. Our only disappointment was the directions not specifying that the blue and red dots on the plugs lining up with the arrow decides whether the cooler runs cold or hot. Also, make sure your food is already hot or cold, and the cooler has been running for at least 30 minutes, before placing in cooler. |

| the cooler was delivered in just a few days. it fits perfectly between the seats of my minivan and behind the passenger seat of my sedan. it's a bit noisy to operate in the house, but the noise is completely drowned out at highway speeds in a car. it is a good size and keeps things cool for quite a while even when the car is turned off. |

"Keeps stuff nice and HOT!" | 2008-06-04 |

This combination cooler/heater is just what I was looking for! Actually, I'll probably never use it as a cooler. Moderately filled, it can heat things up to 150°F (measured) in a few short hours.
The only thing keeping me from giving it a full five stars are a few design and manufacturing issues. I don't really care for the pigtail power receptacle dangling from the unit. A built-in port would've been nicer, but I can live with it. Overall plastic forming and construction is good, but there was excessive adhesive that had oozed out from the heatsink area. These issues don't mean this thing won't do its job. But it's possibly something the QC person should take a look at to bring this product to the next level.
Regardless, I'm happy with it. So far it's holding up to a fair amount of abuse (including being checked in with with luggage for cross country flights). Would I order another if I needed one? Definitely yes. |

| I keep this in the trunk of my car all the time. We have the large size of this cooler and use it on trips -- no messy ice to deal with. We live in a small town so when we go for "big" grocery shopping trips it's a 45 minute drive and I usually stop at 2 or 3 places. This little cooler keeps my cool stuff cool while I'm rinning around without taking up the whole trunk. |

"GREAT TRAVEL FRIDGE" | 2008-05-29 |
| - Reviewed By dcfilker |
| We purchased this unit for a road trip from Oregon to S. Calif. We wanted to be able to buy sandwiches, snacks and bottled water in the morning and eat on the road, or keep things cold overnight. This fridge worked great, we used it every day of our three week trip, and could take it into the hotel to keep our bottled water and snacks cold at night. We also purchased the additional AC power cord. The unit is small, lightweight, and the noise is minimal for a fridge. The only down side is that it doesn't cycle on and off like a regular fridge so things at the bottom and toward the compresser would freeze overnight. We just put the water there, no problem. Would highly recommend this unit! We have used it several times since the purchase. |
