Great Cooler!, March 18, 2008

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.

This review is from: Koolatron 14-Quart Soft-Sided Electric Travel Cooler, Dark Grey (Lawn & Patio)

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... Read more

A very good travel cooler. Now it won't cool a warm product down immediately, but it will keep pre-chilled items cold. Example: used it as a second cooler/fridge for our boat, pre-chilled items were in it all day, 90+ degrees and things remained cold. Now internal size may be an issue, the internal fan does take up some space, but for our needs, 2 smaller tubs of fruit and bottles of water, it did do the job !!

This review is from: Koolatron P25 26-Quart FunKool Cooler, Dark Grey (Lawn & Patio)

We purchased the Koolatron P25 for a 3000 mile road trip in Aug-Sept 2010. We had medicines to keep in it as well as the desire not to deal with ice and melt for 2 weeks. It's size was perfect to fit in the foot-well behind either driver or passenger seats without interfering with the seats adjustments (in a VW Passat sedan). We were able to keep just the right amount of food and liquids in it for daily lunches and snacks while on the road. I read other user's reviews of the product before purchasing and everything that was stated came to be our experiences with it as well. The handle is awkward. It doesn't seem that it would take rocket science for Koolatron to fix it so the lid function as well as the power cord placement would not be so difficult to manipulate without 3 hands and a tail.
I also baught the power adapter so I could plug it into the house power for pre-cooling as well as use in hotel rooms or whenever we were not in the car - that worked perfectly. All... Read more

W. Priddy "Child of Yah" (NC USA) - See all my reviews

We used our new Koolatron on a 10 day camping trip - no more ice! What a great product. In the car and in the cabin - kept everything cold. We are going to purchase another one prior to our next trip - one for drinks and one for food. It only iced up on us one time, when the humidity was high and we had some foods with liquids - not sealed tight enough. Important to keep the inside of the cooler dry.

The P25 is a good cooler for beverages and small items. It does tend to be top heavy (where the cooling unit is located). I would recommend the P27 as it is just a little bigger, wider, and more balanced. The P27 has a heat/cool function, which the P25 does not. I have kept the P25 as I didn't want to go through the hassle of a return. Amazon is great to deal with, however. Jim
