Auto Companion Coolbox Hot Cold Portable Electric Cool Box 40L 240V AC & 12V

Purchased this for not only picnics but also freezer shopping, we were expecting a smaller unit with limited capacity but pleasantly surprised when this arrived plugged it in using the mains adaptor to test it out on low setting apart from seeing (eco) the fan spinning did not know it was on there is a little noise on the high setting but unit is a lot quitter than a unit I purchased approx thirty five years ago most of it was motor & just a 12v cable hot or cold was whichever way you plugged the lead into the units socket.The only one issue I can find since the unit comes with both the 12v and 240v leads built in (nice touch) with a two pin plug on the mains lead they provide a large adaptor for the UK market somewhere to store it when not in use would be handy to prevent it from getting lost.I am lucky that in the boot of my car there is a 12v 120w (10amp) socket so no worries about not enough power.So good purchased the 40ltr model to go with the 32ltr use a socket doubler for both units.

We purchased this cooler after reading several reviews both good and bad on various coolers before deciding on this one, as it met all our criteria.we were not disappointed!! we bought this on the basis we were travelling to Brittany by car with an overnight stop at an Ibis hotel both ways. We also knew that there were no fridges in the rooms, and my medication had to be kept cool.this cool box delivered on all counts both in the car and in the hotel, keeping everything nice and cold.One bit of advice, make sure the items you carry in the cooler are cold to start with, as this is NOT a fridge, its a cooler !! If you have freezer blocks better still.We drove back from Brittany without freezer blocks, and all the cheese,meat, and butter were still very cold when we got home some 48 hours later.Brilliant cooler, better than expected

We bought this for ocasional use (ie 4-5 times a year)Tested at home.... Seemed good...Now testing on camp and it seems very good! (Used end of August). It's not been the hottest of weekends but has kept the ice packs frozen for 48 hrs and now starting to go slushy 72 hours in... Powered via the mains....from the elec hookup. .Overall... fantastic purchase and for the "cooling" type box.... This has performed perfectly... (, Remember it's not a fridge and is designed to cool below ambient temp rather than be refrigerated type! .... My experience iw that it's performed very well!S

arrived before estimated date (great service).it is a little heavy, and surprisingly larger than a standard cooler box , 32 litres.the colour of the cooler is really nice, as well as the construction.motor of the cooler - heater , is a slight hum that isn't going to annoy me at all.yes it was a bit expensive , but you get what you pay for.will be used for holidays and fishing trips .summer cool soft drinks, winter take aways to be kept hot until we want to eat them.would recommend this .

This is now a total essential for us when we are on days out and long trips. This size is a good size for us. It holds drinks, cheeses, butter, cold meats.We use it both from the car cigarette lighter while in the travelling and then via the mains plug while in a hotel. When packed well, this keeps us going for 3 days.We have only used it on the cool function but it has a keep warm function too.Sturdily built. Recommended

Kept food cold in 30C heatwave (on mains), It can take a 4ltr milk bottle upright. It is quiet and did not disturb sleep even though it was in the same room. In Eco mode it is whisper quiet but the contents must have been cooled down first for it to maintain things cool overnight. Eco did not work very well on a hot 22c night.Works OK on 12vDC but a bit louder for some reason.

We used this on a road trip to Spain from uk. Plugged it in a few hours before we filled it. Used a couple of ice packs. Tip. Put a tea towel in the bottom before filling. It soaks up any moisture.. used it all through the journey for cold drinks and food . Plugged into the mains of our overnight hotel. It worked like a dream, cold milk next morning. Not too noisy. Excellent.The bad bit. It is VERY heavy when loaded and I struggled to lift it. Maybe some wheels or casters ?

I like that it can be mains or vehicle use , perfect for keeping what I need cold , I work away from home and milk butter and cold drinks meats and so on it is excellent for the purpose , I don't have to spend in a canteen that has disgusting food , cost of box returned in 2 weeks ❤️
