Great Cooler!
By BoogieCat
I use this in my car for drinks or to keep small items of food cold on the way home from long trips to Costco, etc. It's durable, has many pockets, and works great. If you have more room in your vehicle and need more "cold storage" for your trips, get the bigger one.The only drawback, and I assume this is for all of these type devices, is if you leave it plugged in your car/boat, etc. for long periods of time while your vehicle is OFF, it will drain your battery fairly fast. The longest I've left it plugged in while my car was off was about 3 hours. But I did this repeatedly and it eventually caused the premature death of my car battery in Dec 07.HOWEVER, THIS said, I have an 05' mid-size SUV and this was the original battery so that also may have contributed.

"Cooler" is not cold
By Charles W. Bash
The cooler won't get anything cold - mine only went down to 50 (in a 70 degree room) and it took many hoursto get there with anything in it. (It was blowing 46 degree air after 2 hours). And it warms up quickly - 14 degrees in only an hour and 1/2.Add to that a continuous whir noise, so you don't want to bring it into your motel room and leave it plugged it and the battery load which occurs if you leave it in the car overnight, this is a limited use device (in my humble opinion).

Not recommended for small cars on long trips.
By Gary Brandt
After receiving this product I found it defective. Because I was moving and VERY short on time oh... and quite handy, I decided to open it up and see if I could do the repair by myself. I found the cheap internal construction to be the issue and cleared the fan from rubbing by modifying the hard foam frame a bit which was causing the fan to rub and sounded like a playing card close-pinned to a bicycle wheel when it ran. This caused it not to get cold obviously. I managed the repairs only to find that on the road, the current draw was very high on my TDI VWs little battery and it took some time for the device to cool down internally but it did within about an hour. On my long driving trip from LA to Wisconsin I eventually just unplugged it and bought some ice and threw it in.The device would have possibly been fine I think in a larger car with a stronger alternator and battery BTW. I also bought the battery saver. This did a bit better but I found it heated up the cabin as well as the cooler did by itself just too much on hot days in the summer. Might have worked better in the winter or somehow putting it up on my roof rack rather than having it inside a little bug with two people and a dog. I would not recommend this or any device like it for a small car as configured.
