You can set up camp anywhere near an AC outlet or your car to enjoy ice cold or steaming hot food. Electric coolers are governed by the ambient air around them. When you plug in a typical freezer or fill a typical cooler with ice, you can expect a pretty consistent internal temperature. Many are rated to +/- a certain range compared to the outside air. So if it is extremely hot outside (100F) and your electric cooler has a minimum temperature range of -40F ambient, then you will only experience a storage temperature of 60F! We have seen countless times when people purchased a thermoelectric cooler to store frozen goods only to realize that everything has melted after a short period of time.
Coolers aren’t complicated, which is a good thing to remember in the face of all that advertising. After spending many years evaluating more than 40 cooler models, we’ve chosen eight that are well made, well insulated, and well igloo cooler with wheels suited for a range of outings. Just plug it into your cigarette lighter adapter and it Cools to 39°F below outside temperature. Use as a chest in the Truck or sit it vertically for use as a home, office or dorm refrigerator.
Once loaded with ice, drinks, and food, a 37-pound cooler can more than double in weight. When someone then tilts the cooler up, all that weight goes into the wheelbase or leans into the handle hinge. The RTIC 65 has rope handles with a plastic tube for gripping and two rubber latches for holding the lid closed, mimicking the design of most other, comparable coolers. The RTIC 65 weighs 36.5 pounds and measures 32 by 17 by 18 inches on the outside.
The best 12V cooler is the Coleman PowerChill Hot/Cold Portable Thermoelectric Cooler. It has two functions, both warming and cooling technologies, which offer users more options and the ability to transport different types of food. The long extension cord also allows for more flexible placement.
