Amazon.com Review
Coolers are usually large and unwieldy, which is why Koolatron developed the Compact Kooler, specially designed to fit in the snug spaces behind the seats of many cars, trucks, and vans. Like many of Koolatron's coolers, this unit features a 12-volt cooling system that plugs into a car's cigarette lighter. The cooler's motor blows cold air over your food and beverages, keeping them 40 degrees F cooler than the outside temperature. The cooler also doubles as a warmer, if you'd rather keep the contents toasty. Outside of the car or truck, the cooler is still versatile, with a swinging, foldaway handle for easy portage and a latchless lid that opens with one hand. Other handy features include a convenient cord wrap and a unique storage spot for the unplugged cigarette lighter. Despite the unit's compact size and weight (only 9 pounds), it can still hold up to 23 12-ounce soft drinks. --Rivers Janssen

 Finally, A DC-Powered Cooler/Warmer That Works! July 11, 2007

After going through a bad experience with trying to buy and then (in some cases) buying first a Vector, then a RubberMaid, then a Wagan Tech, and now a Koolatron, I can tell you that it's a relief to find a well-designed, well-built DC-powered cooler/warmer that actually works! Our Canadian neighbors to the north have done a great job with this unit.
I worried about its 17" height and depth, but once it was decided that it was going to live behind the passenger's front seat, those concerns became non-issues. In fact, its height is a benefit as long as it doesn't interfere with the seat back when you lift the lid, as you can reach right in from the driver's seat and get a can or a sandwich without much effort if you pack it well.
I also worried about all the ads that portrayed it as being only a cooler. But after having so much trouble with other companies' cooler/warmers, I decided to forget warming and bought the Koolatron without it (or so I thought). So when the unit arrived--in its original box, no less--I was pleased and surprised to see that it warms too! Excellent combination, since I have consumer-issue MRE's that I can now warm in it while I use my clumsier (and larger) Igloo Cool-Mate unit to cool other things down. And when I'm not doing that (like when the world ends or Limerick blows up), I can use it in the car as a cooler as I originally planned--an ideal situation.
If you need cooling in the car--or in an emergency situation (such as a power outage)--for medicines or for food, don't hesitate to buy this unit. In my opinion, it's by far the best one out there for its size and price, and I've seen or tried almost all of them.

Perhaps Koolatron has improved their product, because unlike other postings, my cooler cooled down in several hours, not 12. My only complaint is a little too noisy, but that is a small price to pay for a reliable product. Also, I do recommend the ac adaptor. My unit is in my room now, buzzing away, keeping stuff cold. I called the company and was told that I can run it forever, there is no shutoff needed.
One minor point: with this item, you must be careful to align the arrow on the electric cord on the unit with the blue button on the extention, for cold. I did not do that and got heat for a couple of hours until I checked it.
Fabulous product July 15, 2007

This was a fantastic way to keep drinks and other things cold during a recent trip. It is easy to take into the hotels at night and plug into an outlet. It worked flawlessly! You need to remember that the startup needs to have the pop and other items cold and the kooler needs to be pre-cooled before you put it in the car. It is a must to buy the adaptor to plug into an electrical outlet.

We were so glad we bought this cooler for use on a cross-country road trip. It fit nicely behind the front seat, taking up less room then a conventional cooler. We bought the adapter so that we could take the cooler from the car into our hotel rooms at night. As recommended, we plugged it in a few hours or overnight before starting our trip to pre-cool the cooler and placed cold drinks/food in it.
We also bought a car battery saver thinking the cooler would continue to run when we turned the car off, but infortunately it didn't work. All auxiliary power was shut off when the car engine turned off. However, the cooler did keep our food cool for a few hours while sightseeing and was not a problem. Definitely recommend.
Great buy. September 9, 2007

Nothing negative to say. Arrived fast, as I ordered it for next day. Cooled down fast...must do that cool down time. I ran for several days straight with mostly drinks and some food and it worked great. I'm looking for another occasion to use it sooner than later. It is small, but I bought it for me to be able to handle easily....haven't used the heating mechanism yet. But very happy with the product. So glad I found it and bought it along with the indoor adapter. Does make some noise, but didn't really bother me. Another successful buy from Amazon.
