Ivation Electric Cooler & Warmer with Handle |27 Quart (25 L) Portable Thermoelectric Fridge For vehicles & Trucks| 110V AC Home Power Cord & 12V Car Adapter for Camping, Travel & Picnics

This cooler works great. I tested the cooling and heating and the results were surprising. Plugged into household current, the box cooled down to about 38 degree F in about an hour (from room temperature). I switched it over to heat from that temperature and it topped out at around 148 in little over an hour. An excellent solution to traveling with food. It won't cook the food for you, but it will keep it at a safe temperature. I have not tried it powered by my truck yet, but I would have to assume it will perform the same.My only complaint is the lid is very top heavy because it has the cooling/heating unit and fan in it. So if the cooler is empty or only partially full, it will tip over. Also, the handle will secure the lid closed - 100% guaranteed that it is in that position when I try to open it!For the price I paid ($25 in "Used" condition) I am extremely satisfied and I bought several extras as gifts. I'm not sure if I'd paid the full price of over $100 for it though.

I purchased this for a week-long road trip so we could transport some essential groceries with us from one B&B to another and make lunches on-the-go without having to deal with ice or freezer packs, and it worked great. I love the dual-power option (12V & 110V) and cord storage. I also like being able to lock the lid by moving the handle into the appropriate position. It fit perfectly under the cargo cover in the back of our Rav4 and ran just fine off of the switched 12V power port back there. It ran quietly; we could hear it running only when the engine wasn't. Even indoors, the sound wasn't very noticeable. It was just the right size for our needs, which typically included a quart of milk, lunch meat, sliced cheeses, mayo, yogurt cups, carrot & celery sticks, and some small drinks. We even used it to keep some chocolates cool as we drove. I chose to transfer everything to refrigerators each night (which didn't always have a freezer suitable for refreezing ice packs), but would plug the cooler in to 110V for 30 minutes or so in the morning prior to loading it as per the suggestions of other users. It did a great job keeping our food cool during multiple, full days of travel, even when being opened several times, and I loved not having to purchase ice, drain water, or worry about refreezing freezer packs.The only thing I ran into that was less-than-optimal was that it is a bit top-heavy and prone to tipping over when the lid is open and the unit is empty, but it was easy enough to hold it or prop it against a wall or cabinet until I put in something heavy enough to keep it upright. And I have to say that I do like that the cooling section is entirely self-contained in the lid which is removeable for cleaning and storage, so the tipping doesn't bother me much. The cord cover could be just a bit stronger/robust as sometimes the 110V cord would push up on it (even when run in the cord groove) due to holding it's memory from being wound up in the storage area. It wasn't a functional problem, but just a minor cosmetic observation.Overall, this seems to be a great unit and I highly recommend it for replacing a typical ice cooler.

Works really well. It kept my food cool for 3 days with intermittent electricity on a camping trip.

I have had this for two months. I like it and I use this for canned and bottled drinks in my RV campervan to supplement my refrigeration capacity . This has been doing a good job keeping things cool and actually it works fairly well cooling room temperature beverages in as little as an hour down to 40 degrees. The construction is fairly robust and I think best of all it holds fairly large containers vertically. There is a lot of room in this refrigerator. The downside is that my it is always on my Victron Shunt is showing that it is drawing 5 to 6.5 amps. This is fine but it draws more than 50% more than my 2.8 cubic foot refrigerator and if I am dry camping with limited solar power, this gets turned off and only use it for a couple hours to chill some non spoil beverages.

Great cooler. Keeps thing very cold. Light weight. Great value so far.

Works just as you'd expect. Hot or Cold.

Used it for a couple hrs in cigarette lighter 12v plug, worked fine, stopped to gas up, cooler no longer worked, they provided a extra fuse, after disassembling, no obvious place to switch for a different fuse, who brings a manuel with them when traveling, piece of junk, no sure even worth it to keep in car takes up space, to get it home. Will need to go purchase a regular cooler

I've had mine for six months as I write this. It's been in nearly constant use as a bar fridge in my house. Two things that need to be improved are the 12v plug and the fan motor. 1) The tip of the 12v plug gets *extremely* hot, unsafely hot in my opinion. I've only taken it on one road trip so far and I'll replace the plug with something better like an XT60 bullet connector before I'll take it on the road again. 2) The fan motor needs to be lubricated about once a month or it just stops spinning. This slightly overloaded the power supply once and created a (thankfully mild) hot electrical smell. I made a few simple modifications to the lid to make lubricating the motor easier.I'm a tinkerer so I don't really mind these problems, but if you're not 'handy' you'll be better off with a higher-quality unit.
