Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Koolatron Compact Kooler
Customer Review: Not a "Cool" choice
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered the Koolatron P20 from Amazon on October 13, 2010 and received it promptly from Ace Photo Digital, their outside source. In the car I noticed no real cooling, so I decided to try it in the house using the A/C adapter, which I also had ordered. The house temperature was 70 degrees. I used a refrigerator thermometer which I placed in the bottom of the cooler. After 21 hours of "cooling" the temperature inside the cooler was 63 degrees, nowhere near the advertised 40 degrees below ambient temperature. I didn't expect it to cool to 30 degrees--it is not a refrigerator--but I did expect better than 63. I have returned the cooler for a refund.Customer Review: Not happy
Summary: 2 Stars
Overall, just not happy with this cooler. It's fits very perfectly behind the driver's seat of my SUV. The unit is smaller than the picture presents it. The picture shows 1/2 gallons of milk/juice in the cooler but neglects to tell you that you can't have anything in front of the fan. Therefore, 2 - 1/2 gallons don't fit. The unit is also really loud. I bought this cooler, and car adapter, to transport perishable items for a baby. Only I don't trust that it keeps milk and milk products cold enough. Nothing is ever cold. The temperature feels similar to something sitting in front of a fan. A regular cooler with ice would be better. If you're just storing soda, fine. But I wouldn't use it for longer periods of time with perishable items. Buy an Igloo cooler and lots of ice.
Customer Review: One of my favorite things!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my husband in Dec "08 intending to
use it on our road trip honeymoon. We have gotten tons of use out of this.
We use it for daytrips. We use it with the adapter to bring into
hotel rooms with us. I love to bring some yogurt and small snacks and
cream for coffee. It's not huge, but it's pretty roomy. We even use it during the holidays and for parties when there is not enough room for everything in our refrigerator. We have never used the heating part, so I can't attest to that.
This unit is working for us today as well as the day we (I) bought it.
Customer Review: Overnight shipping excellence
Summary: 5 Stars
Ordered this in a hurry for a roadtrip. Placed order at 4 pm. Item was at my door at 10 am next morning! Outstanding service/delivery. Cooler looks spacious and well made. Minor disappointment is the lack of 110 volt AC adapter. Out of the box it only works in the car. Overall, very pleased with item and speed of delivery.Customer Review: Pretty Good for a boat
Summary: 4 Stars
We bought it to use on our sailboat so that we did not have to open the Ice Chest on Hot Days to remove luncheon meat or a drink. We use it with the AC/DC converter so that we use it mostly in port. (Don't like to use batteries when under sail.)
My wife feels that it works fine providing you cool it down well before using it.
