Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Koolatron Multi-Purpose Adapter 110AC to 12 Volts DC ( Model AC-15)
Customer Review: Great adapter
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for a cooler I also bought on Amazon. It sure did a good job on our vacation. It was worth the money for the 2 uses(one in the wall plug and other in the car).I would definately recommend.Customer Review: Half the Cost for Same Product
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased a Koolatron cooler and noted that the manual stated that non-Koolatron AC/DC adaptors should not be used and would void the warranty. Rather than take the chance with my old adaptor from a different brand electric cooler, I decided to order a new one. Koolatron offers its adaptor at its web site and I just about ordered it, but then compared Amazon's offering. The identical adaptor at Amazon is half the price of the one through Koolatron. I've used it a number of times and it works fine. It also has about twice the wattage capability of my old adaptor. One caution: the cooler cools or heats depending on how the adaptor or DC plug is connected to the cooler cord. Tell everyone who might use the cooler about this. I failed to tell my wife, and she thought she was cooling a load of food, when, in fact, she was heating it. Big mess.Customer Review: Hot Hot Hot

The adaptor worked great when we were on a weekend getaway and in the house when we prechill the cooler. The only problem is that it gets extremely hot!Customer Review: It work but overheats

I always use a Koolatron portable (P-75) cooler for work and it gets plugged in on Thursday and runs continuously throughout the weekend until Monday morning when I head home. As per Koolatron I didn't want to void my warranty and I used their portable AC/DC Converter (Model AC-15). It ended up working through the year of my warranty period and I had problems with it throughout the last half of the year. Mainly the problems with the Koolatron product (Model AC-15) that thing would heat up in a bad way. It would get so hot that it actually started to melt my plug that my cooler used to plug into the converter and it definitely smelled of burnt electronics. It melted the tip and surrounding plastic. I guess I ended up getting lucky. A week after the warranty period expired on the Koolatron AC/DC converter, it just up and died, but then I finally grew a brain and purchased the Vector VEC004. Ever since I bought the Vector (aka Black and Decker) brand of AC/DC converter I have not had any problems at all. I love this thing. It works fantastically. The product itself gets warm, but not nearly as hot as the Koolatron product did. Even when it is plugged in all weekend, I can unplug the cooler from it and immediately touch the metal contacts, for the plug, and they are cool to the touch, not hot at all. Unlike when I used the Koolatron converter I burned myself a couple of times on the contacts. Do yourself a favor and look somewhere else for this product instead of the Koolatron AC/DC converter. They works much better and are much cooler.
