Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Koolatron Multi-Purpose Adapter 110AC to 12 Volts DC ( Model AC-15)
Customer Review: On my 3rd one...
Summary: 2 Stars
As I go into three years using my Koolatron Compact Kooler, this is my third adapter.
I purchased my first cooler and adapter in April of 2008.
The cooler died and I purchased a second one in May 2009.
The second adapter was purchased in August 2009 and just died today.
I'm now on my third adapter as the second just blew while I was sitting here on the computer. I noticed the motor on the cooler stopped. When I looked over, the adapter was sparking and smoking. * sigh * It's a good thing I was here. But then, I never leave the cooler or adapter unattended for long, else I'll disconnect it.
Now, you may be wondering why I keep purchasing the same pieces of junk every year. Well, unlike most coolers, I run this one ALL YEAR ROUND. Rarely do I disconnect it. So, it's never a seasonal or an on-off-on-off thing. For something that runs about 340 days out of the year, it's not bad and I'm getting my money's worth.
So, if you get this adapter, just plan on blowing $40 every year. Some people on here say they've only gotten a few uses from it. Thank God, I've been fortunate. I feel that for $140 of decent cooling a year, it's not so bad. That's about .40 cents a day plus electricity. It's cheaper than a fridge. *shrug*
Customer Review: Power Adapter - Powerful
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm sure this is a great unit but, unfortunately for me, this unit didn't work in my particular environment. I was using a handheld police radar unit. Approximately five minutes of being plugged into this unit, it managed to fry the power supply board and digital readout board. It cost me just under $275.00 to have the radar unit repaired. Use caution in what you plug into this unit.Customer Review: This thing is a piece of crap

I just got this in the mail on Thursday. Today is Friday and I used it for the first time 4 hours ago and it, literally, melted. Now I'm in a hotel room with 3 kids and no cooler. We're cooling the items that were in the Koolatron in a trash can with ice. BEWARE!Customer Review: Well, we are on our 3rd, need I say more :-(

Item does get hot quickly and burns out. We are ordering our 3rd adapter for a future road trip and I'm frustrated that this "awesome" travel companion isn't up to par. We have followed all instructions, yet we still experience burn out????
