Poor construction but good design
3 of 3 found this helpful Bad things first. I have used the cool box for one return trip in hot weather. The fan noise is too loud to be in the same room with it on. In a car you cannot hear the fan over other ambient noise. The on/off, ac dc label became unstuck and I had to apply pressure a number of times to stop it falling off. The foam sealant around the lid fell off and after putting it on three times it broke/split at the join so now it wont stay on at all. The most serious is the last and indicates some possible H&S issue. On checking that everything was fine using the cool box in the car on its dc lead with cold selected, the lead had become extremely hot and I suspect was on the point of melting. After disconnecting it and allowing it to cool down, I reconnected the dc cable to the cool box and monitored it frequently but the cable did not overheat again.
Good things. It does keep food cool and seemed to work better with a freezer pack to help it. The internal car temperature with air con/ climate control was about 22 and the temperature in the cool box allowed ice to melt - as it would eventually in a fridge.
