Koolatron Electric Portable Cooler Plug in 12V Car Cooler Bag, 26 qt (25 L) Black/Gray Soft-Sided Portable Car Fridge w/DC Power Cord, Adjustable Shoulder Strap, Cord Storage, Road Trip

As long as youre driving, the cooler cools. It does not hold a chill at all if not plugged in. Will run down your car battery quite quickly if left plugged in.

Took on a family road trip thinking this would be a great buy and would help us save money on food. We packed the bag up with sandwich meat, cheese & fruits to snacks.Midway through the trip we noticed the food was warm. We checked to see if the bag was plugged in correctly and if it was still running. It was however we had it tucked away so everyone could have personal space and since the fan in the back wasn't fully exposed. It couldn't keep the food inside cold... We had to basically give the bad it's own seat in the vehicle.. complete waste of money..

Just a great cooler. Works very well in the car and easily carried into motel room, etc. If you have an adapter you can plug it into the wall and don't even need to unload it. But the best part - this company is awesome! Thirteen months later we had problems with the part of the cord that plugs into the car outlet. I contacted the company for advice and they sent us a new power cord. I have never had a company with that extent of service. Great cooler, great company. Highly recommend.

I figured out why people are having issues with this item stopping working suddenly. I noticed when I was unplugging it that the plug was hot. A few hours later it stopped working. I the fuse inside the plug had blown, and when I disassembled the plug I saw that it had actually gotten hot enough to melt the inside of the plug, allowing it to short out. I happened to have another plug with heavier gauge wire and an online blade fuse, so I cut off the end that plugs into the cooler and wired it up to the new plug. The improvement in the operation of the cooler was immediately obvious- the fans spin faster, the cooler cools cooler, and the plug is no longer warm to the touch, even after operating all day long inside a warm vehicle. It's a decent cooler, too bad they used the cheapest possible power cord.

I love this cooler (mostly). We take many long trips in our truck and this works better for us than putting the ice packs in. It also leaves you a lot more room for drinks or food. It just plugs into the car and we keep it in the front with us. You should either cool the things you put in ahead of time or use ice packs at the beginning. Actually, we just stick the cooler in our freezer before we pack it. One problem to be aware of. It will run down your battery. Be careful about leaving it plugged in when you are not driving. Our car battery went dead because we spaced it and that was a drag.

I received this in July 2024, however, due to health issues, I did not unpack it until yesterday - way past the return date. I happily brought it to my van before going a distance to the grocery store to get perishables, but after packing them into the bag, I went to plug in the charger and found no matter what I tried, it did not fit. For me, money in the product as well as my refrigerated groceries a loss. I do not know what to do with the bag. I have many other well insulated bags - larger than this one.

I love this soft sided cooler. It was perfect for my trip. I would have given five stars but the fuse in the DC charger became hot multiple time and ultimately blew. So I couldn’t use it continuously. It was plugged in my rental car and a lithium generator.

arrived todayim testing it nowright out of the bag itsmells like burnt electronicsgot bad reviews on the charger they recommend so got one rated to 30 amps with a fan, that had good reviewsotherwise works as advertisedit's cooling nicelygave it a day, smell dissipated works great, i have an oversized 12 volt 30 amp power supply so that runs cool, keeps contents nice and cool at under 50 deg f. 85 deg room temperature.
