Bought this after wanting this for a long time. I bought this size because I often stop at butcher shops and buy large quantities of frozen meat. The instructions say that if you use ice, keep it in the bag. I have not used ice yet because I wanted to test the function. I have plugged it in for over an hour before loading it, as instructed. Then loaded frozen and refrigerated items.What I have found is that even in mild days, when the car is parked and the motor doesn't run, the contents do not stay cold. (The ice chest is not in the sun.) My plan is to go hiking and bring my lunch and beverages, that I prefer cold, and they are lukewarm after the car has been turned off. On the other hand, I have driven > 8 hours with frozen on the bottom, refrigerated on the top, and dense foods stay mostly frozen, and less dense (like fish and fruit) defrosted almost completely.Having the chest with few items vs. full did make a difference in how much change in temperature there was. Unfortunately, my traditional chest does better at keeping food at temperature without ice with the same contents.I don't have an ice maker, so I will purchase a bag and try again, but the purchase doesn't make sense when you have a motor on a long drive, but for picnicking it does. Hopefully my cheese and fresh berries will still be good at lunch time in the forest.

Looks like this Cooler is going to be very nice and useful.

This is a nice big cooler and it's sturdy. The heat/cool unit on top is actually not too intrusive into the body of the cooler.I'm not sure how capacitive cooling works - but I can tell you that it works to a point. In general, it kept our food cool, but not cold, two hours after it was last plugged in. The cooling is hampered by the fact that you're not supposed to use ice in the cooler - which would really make the cooling effect last longer.However - what I didn't realize when I ordered it is that it has a heat function as well - and man, that function works great! It kept our food hot between home and grandma's just working off our car's 12V cigarette lighter plug. You can also power it from your home's AC outlet as there are cables for both.Note that this cooler doesn't have a battery, so you're not charging it - it only runs when it's plugged into something. I would pair it with an inexpensive 300W power station if you need it for a tailgate or other places where you may not have power.5 stars to start, but 1 star removed for not being able to use ice in conjunction with the capacitive cooling.

This cooler is amazing. I bought this for my husband to keep in his work truck and it fits perfectly. It’s bigger than I thought it would be but it’s exactly what I wanted.

This is the 3rd one we got! The other ones were for our kids! Keeps everything cold! Used the heat option once and it worked great! Not noisy and size is prefect for between the seats! Also it's quite too!!

Decided to try at home before I used it on a buggy ride. It never worked! Just junk

We road trip and used to bring frozen water bottles & re-freeze in hotels overnight. Many do not have freezers so this is the perfect solution! Don't have to unpack it, just leave it all in the cooler & plug it in at the hotel! Carry it back to the car & plug it in & ready to go! Holds drinks & food so we've got all we need for the day! Only downfall - we'll know more on summer road trips - is that it contributes to warmer air in the car as works to keep the cooler cold.
