Hi-Gear 20 Litre Electric Cooler Box powered by 12V in-car Socket with Integrated Handle, Portable Electric Cool Box for Camping and Festivals, Camping Equipment, Grey, One Size

Product Information

This Hi-Gear electric cooler boasts a spacious 20-litre capacity, making it an ideal storage solution for food and drinks during outdoor excursions such as picnics, camping trips, and festivals. This system would then be compatible with "super-ice" from -80°C freezers to provide longer lasting passive cold. I was just thinking about coolboxes, as you do, and as a newbie to the world of ehu, was initially wondering about what type of electric coolbox to get (I did take a look at previous threads) but started to think about the amount of electric they use. For anyone with a sense of adventure, there is no better way of escaping mundane suburbia than by packing the camping gear into the car and setting off into the great beyond with the wind in your sails!

Luckily we tried both of them out at home before taking them camping - even with the coolbox in the next bedroom with a solid nine inch brick wall in between us and 'it', the noise still kept us awake. No point having a massive fridge on site if you’re only going to put a pint of milk and a couple of scotch eggs in it! Coolboxes are very inefficient and they can only cool so many degrees below ambient so if it's warm outside it'll be working even harder. The other thing is that TE coolboxes don't actually have the ability to cool things down, they can only keep cold stuff cold. Thermoelectric coolers cannot be set to a particular temperature like on a conventional fridge – they just cool a certain amount, and it depends how high the fan is whirring as to how much cooling is performed.It does pretty much everything you need from a thermoelectric cooler as well as looking stylish in its grey, white and green colours. A well installed (10cm insulation) compressor fridge with 2 big solar panels and 110Ah batts copes pretty well but normally it's more effective to run an engine driven compressor. Current draw is low at only 5 amps, even on 12V power which means a typical 100Ah leisure battery will not get drained until after about 20 hours of continuous operation.

I feel more confident now, with your little chart, to use my ehu and know how to work out amp useage by dividing Watts by Volts. If you need a proper cooker to do this though, be sure to check out our guide on camping stoves and kettles. The EcoCool offers two cooling modes with a cooling delta of up to 25°C below the outdoors temperature on the MAX setting operation. If I put two or three frozen meals (homemade chilli or Bolognese mince in those plastic boxes takeaways come in) they act as cooling and thaw over a day or two.We run a small mini fridge, heater (on 1Kw setting) and a light and have never had any problems with power supply. Borrowing more than you can afford or paying late may negatively impact your financial status and ability to obtain credit.

It is a proper compressor fridge with its own freezer section, and the 35 or 45 litre capacity is perfect for a small family over a week or two.The cooler can be easily switched between hot and cold settings, making it perfect for keeping your cold drinks nice and cold or maintaining the temperature of your hot snacks. You see a lot of those Coleman Xtreme boxes on boats that do fishing trips and the like, so they must be fairly good.

I guess - presumably there's no issue it being plugged in while driving but then need to unplug when parking up? The Outwell ECOCool 35L Cool Box is a case in point for a thermoelectric cool box which can operate on both 240V hookup and 12V battery power and provide a substantial amount of cooling power.

It is almost completely silent which can be a godsend when it’s running in your tent and you’re trying to sleep. To be honest though, we are not sure how often you would need the heating function in the real world. The handle, which can also help keep the lid in position when you need the box open, is super-strong and handy.
