With a 20-litre capacity, it provides ample space for your needs on a picnic, at a campsite or even a festival. It will operate from the 12V cigarette lighter of your car or campervan and comes with the requisite lead. Compressor fridge – this is like your electric fridge at home which uses circulating refrigerant inside which expands to provide cooling.

Despite being a decent-sized cool box (storage volume measures 63 x 51 x 42cm), the Eco Deep is portable enough to move around when required. I've wondered before about a custom coolbox design that places the ice core inside an insulated sub-compartment within the chiller. This Hi-Gear electric cooler boasts a spacious 20-litre capacity, making it an ideal storage solution for food and drinks during outdoor excursions such as picnics, camping trips, and festivals. It also comes with an integrated handle for easy carrying, making it ideal for taking all the way to the trig point if you choose.The cooler can be easily switched between hot and cold settings, making it perfect for keeping your cold drinks icy cold or maintaining the temperature of hot food. The most versatile fridge available (they’re often included in caravans), but a bit of overkill for a week away in your tent. I'm a cynical old bugger, if a company is not heralding the exceptional performance of their product, then I consider it's likely to be inferior to the competition and they've nothing to boast about!

That’s why we’ve pulled together this list of key factors for Hi-Gear 28-Litre 12V 240V Cooler below, to help you choose if it’s the right product for you and your budget. This is a full-on compressor-based fridge which also has a separate freezer section which can keep ice cream frozen! VERSATILE - It can be powered on the go via a 12V in-car socket for added convenience and accessibility.On its warming and cooling capabilities, the lowest the fridge can go is 3°C, while the highest is 65°C. Compressor fridges (very expensive) rather than the cheap thermoelectric ones are much more efficient.

If I couldn't get the bimetallic contractors to work, it could have a microprocessor powered contractor system that would need very little power - which itself could come from a small TEC through which heat enters the super-ice core from the food compartment. Value is subjective, but to YETI, it has always meant a superior product that will stand up to the demands of a life spent in the wild. It also comes with an integrated handle for easy transportation, making it ideal for carrying everywhere. If portability is important for you and you're looking for something you can take on the go then we recommend checking out our Hopper Soft Coolers or a Roadie cooler with wheels.If after checking those three out, you’re still looking for some more inspiration then something like Middy Hi Viz 8-10 Specimen Elastic reviews could be a great choice, or perhaps something like Middy Hi Viz 10-12 Whopper Elastic reviews.

The cooler can hold up to 30x 330ml can and can be powered or charged by your vehicle's 12V socket, and it comes complete with in-car plug cables, so you can use it on the go. There’s plenty of room for 2L drinks bottles and an adjustable power switch, making it an ideal product for camping adventures. Rotating sets of freezer blocks, morning and evening, have kept the cool-box tolerably cool for me in the past. Vonshef actually suggest 12°C as the minimum temperature which is way off from where we would prefer to be – around 5-6°C.A 20 litre capacity is not going to set the world on fire if you’re planning a long trip, but it’s ample for a night or two away. Weight and portability: the ease of walking around with the cool box is an important consideration if you are planning some picnic trips away from the campsite. Peltier/Thermoelectric coolboxes have their place, but come with a few major disadvantages, they are VERY power hungry often drawing 6-8 amps at 12v, which makes them VERY ineffient cooling devices, because they are so power hungry many have a 'battery saver' feature which brings it's own problems, usually the unit will only run when connected to a vehicle with it's engine running or a leisure battery on charge, a straight 12v battery doesn't have high enough voltage to overcome the battery saver trip out level. Borrowing more than you can afford or paying late may negatively impact your financial status and ability to obtain credit. You're better off rotating cool blocks or 2litre bottles of water in the campsite freezer, I've been doing this very successfully on scout camps for 20 years.
