This is our second cooler of this type. The previous version did with us for three years, both in summer shopping and every year in the two-week continuous operation on Italian campsites her uncomplaining service. Since our needed volume increased this year and the fans had become louder in the third year, we bought this successor device for safety and are very satisfied. With the old way, too! ++ The cooling performance is under the principle very well, compared to the previous model even slightly improved. ++ The thermal insulation is quite good ++ The box is running smoothly with 230V and 12V + The lid seal is improved, but still recommended to use a small plastic grid on the ground and to pack the goods to be cooled in cans, as to be expected with condensation that drips from the cooling element + There is an on / off switch / controller, which we hardly used o the fan noise is clearly perceptible, comparable to a pedestal fan, but not unpleasant. In moving car inaudible, in the tent possibly disturbing for sensitive ears. Normally, however, the background noise is more annoying. o 2l bottles do not fit in, 1,5l bottles already o The part complained about hot contacts at 12V plug after prolonged operation are simply because of excess current at 12V limited: not beautiful, but 'normal'
Notes: You should pre-cool the box to 230 and the interference of one or two frozen ice packs as needed, then is it also a 12-hour trip to Italy - even if you unpluging on rest area at 35 ° C in full sun to protect the car battery
