Road trip to Detroit. Used it as mini fridge in the hotel room.
12 hrs hooked up to the car on my return. Stayed cool. Some water bottles actually froze.
Takes a few hours to cool down but as previously suggested placing at least room temperature items in will speed up cool down process.
Only snag was however to pay additonal for home adaptor. Should come with product. Otherwise 5 stars. |

 "Cools superbly, but check cooler lid covers/hinges closely for damage when unpacking" | 2008-04-19 |

My Kargo Kooler arrived damaged in a dented box without any interior packing materials. The lid doors were warped and a little loose, a screw was missing from a hinge, the cheap plastic lid latch did not work properly, and I could not use this cooler vertically as a "refrigerator" because the heavy bottom door sagged badly. Perhaps attaching the heavy cooling unit to a lid door is a design flaw of this model.
The Kargo Kooler arrived a day before a 1600-mile road trip: I tested it en route to the Deep South in April as a chest cooler for exotic cheeses and a frozen pork roast, plugged into a socket in the cargo area of my Subaru Forester. I also splurged for the the optional AC adapter so I could plug it in at hotels. It cooled things superbly, despite lid problems. Yes, it may be a bit noisy in quiet office/home environments, but I did not notice its hum above road noise or the loud blasts of heating/cooling in highway hotel rooms.
My unit was obviously damaged from shipping, so I'm returning it to Amazon for a refund. Just check the lid covers and hinges very closely for damage and/or defects if you order this item.
I liked this enough to give Koolatron a second chance: I just ordered Koolatron's slightly smaller rolling mini-fridge model which may better suit my needs, has an adjustable thermostat, and should tuck away nicely and discreetly under the cargo area blind of my Subaru.

| ..and maybe a little too cold. The latches are junk, the lock barely works. This sucker gets cold though, and hot too. Just be sure to check the size, it is big and I had a little trouble fitting it where I wanted too. |

I was very impressed with this little refrigerator, my sister put one in her guest room and I found it so Comforting, A LUXURY for me, because I did not have to disturb anyone for a cool glass of juice or late night snack.
I decided then that I would get one for my Guest room too. I like to entertain and I think having this is definitely a courtesy to guests.
Highly recommended for this purpose. |

I got this as a sort of "extra" frig for drinks in the summer. However, it freezes up easily and can't be adjusted for temperature. It is lightweight and portable, working well for a drink chest for parties.
Also, the plug in that comes with it was missing. It only plugs into a car outlet--I had to buy the adapter to use it in the house.
Given the choice, I'd probably go with a small refrig that adjusts temperature. However, again, I like the portability of this product. |

| WE GOT INTO THE TRANSPORTATION BUSINESS AND NEEDED A SMALL FRIDGE TO KEEP DOWN THE COST OF FOOD.. WE HAVE USED THIS KOOLATRON ALMOST STEADY FOR A MONTH NOW. IT KEEPS ON GOING. THE ONLY THING BETTER WOULD BE IF IT WAS VERSITLE TO PLUG INTO CAR AND HOME. WE BOUGHT AN ADAPTER TO TAKE IT INTO MOTELS AND SUCH TO BE ABLE TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE.. WE JUST LOVE IT THOUGH. WE RECOMMEND IT HIGHLY. |
