Overall Feedback:
96% positive
94% liked its sturdy construction, but 6% found it flimsy.
The 12v cooler is very rugged and has a unique olive green color.
The build quality is like a $5 knock off cooler at Walmart and the lid shakes when closed.
95% praised its impressive cooling performance, but 5% found it struggled to keep things cold.
The cooler works great as a small freezer inside the house and is very cold.
I was able to cool items to 40F in less than an hour using the cooler in my trunk with a 12v connection.
It took 7 hours for the cooler to reach 34 degrees F.

94% liked its lightweight and portable design
I suggest carrying an empty cooler to the vehicle as it is portable and easy to carry.
This product is versatile and can be plugged in at home, in a hotel, or in the car.
I have taken the product on a 2,500 mile road trip and several 500 mile trips over the past year, indicating its portability.
93% appreciated its energy efficiency, though 7% found it drained the car's battery.
The product has plenty of cooling power even on hot days in the sun and is extremely energy efficient.
The product is very conservative on power consumption, drawing between 20 and 40 watts while running, with 30w being the average. When the compressor is not running, it only draws 2w to keep the display on.
The power usage is low, and I provided specific information about power consumption in watts.
After running the cooler for 15 hours and consuming 1 kWh in eco mode, I noticed that the cans were only slightly cool to the touch and still not drinkable.
95% liked the ample storage space
Having one compartment instead of two allows me to have more total storage, which is important to me.
I found that the product has enough space to hold all my food and beverages.
The inside space is sufficient for storage as the majority of it is available for use.
The cooler takes up some room, so check the dimensions to ensure it fits your needs.
96% praised its precise temperature control, but 4% found it inconsistent.
I set the temperature to 36 on the left and 14F on the right. It reached the set temperatures quickly and maintains them well.
I found the instructions confusing for setting temperature manually, but once set, it took only a couple of hours to obtain the temperature and it has held for 24 hrs.
It's difficult to control the temperature on the smaller side using the touchscreen interface and there's no information in the manual on how to do it.
