Koolatron Compact Kooler review:
Tall, thin, sleek design
Coolers are typically big and unwieldy, which is why Koolatron developed the Compact Kooler, specially intended 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 cover that opens with one hand. Other useful features are a convenient cord wrap and a distinctive storage spot for the unplugged cigarette lighter. In spite of the unit’s compact size and weight only nine pounds, it can still hold up to 23 12 ounce soft drinks. Rivers Janssen
Koolatron Compact Kooler reviews:
Rating: Nice compact cooler
It’s a nice compact cooler, an AC/DC adapter is must. We used it once for a short trip four hrs. It hold up the drinks and milk for babies as cold as we projected it to be.
Rating: AC Adaptor
I bought this cooler heater with an AC Adapter through Amazon.
Subsequently I read where their AC Adapter caused fires.
I wrote to Koolatron to see if they had changed the Adapter to prevent these fires and they refused to answer me.
I am not sure why still carries the product under these situation.
Rating: Works great but with design flaw
My husband and I are over the road truck drivers. We keep this cooler in the top bunk which is the hottest part of the truck still it still does a great job of keeping things cool. The size is perfect for 1/2 gallon cartons or cans of pop stacked two high. My only gripe is a design flaw which doesn’t protect the fan. There’s no reinforcement around the fan such as styrofoam as in our other cooler if something happens to fall against the fan side of the unit, the fan is prevented from spinning burning up the motor. Holding onto on the fan side to move the cooler is enough to stop the fan from turning. Other than that, we’re happy with it.
Rating: Koolatron cooler
I do not know how this got on my list of things to review. I have never owned one. I do have two other Koolatron coolers, and they’re great. One is over 30 years old and still going. I gave this a five star ranking because Koolatron makes five star merchandise.
Rating: Works well
I use this for keeping my coffee warm while on the road. I’ll typically get three big containers and keep two in the cooler using the heat to keep them hot.
I noticed that the containers are wet with the holders I put inside to hold the containers in place. Not sure why it does this but it does keep the coffee hot for some number of hours if you unplug it after a half hour.
Other than the moister it works like I wanted.
