About this deal

It is essential that you are aware that this is a budget cool box and not as sturdy as the Vango or Outwell. If you're into trekking, want something for the odd picnic, or to keep your lunch cool for work A cooler bag may be the way to go. It's a rocktrail one bought from Lidls last summer still under a year old, think it came with a warranty but even so that doesn't help us now! Vonshef actually suggest 12°C as the minimum temperature which is way off from where we would prefer to be – around 5-6°C.

Reviews will give you a great detail of information and with any luck some of the reviews will have provided information about the quality of Hi-Gear 28-Litre 12V 240V Cooler. PORTABLE - Durable wheels and a pull-out handle allow you to transport the electric coolbox to wherever you wish, providing easy access to its contents. We bought every product we tested, so you can be sure our opinion isn't biased by us receiving freebies. Or the lid can be lifted as one and locked in place with the handle whilst you are rummaging around—the handle clips into the slide near the fan. Passive cool boxes are good for family picnics, camping and transporting food when going on holiday.From our experience, it is important to carefully examine the features of a particular product to make sure it will match up to the conditions under which you will be using it.

Also, detailing the four different types of cool boxes available and if they are suitable for everyday family camping. Cooling the box from the mains at home and then moving it into the car with the 12 volt plug, a little indication light to show that there is electrical connection. First impressions count, and the dazzling blue of the VonShef Electric Cool Box really catches the eye. They mention it's very good at keeping things cold, and ideal for picnics and using in the car or caravan.This was my first experience of an electric coolbox and it didn't disappoint, the adjustable control made it easy to make it cooler or not so cold, everything stayed perfect in the box, with the option of plug or 12v connection meant that it could be kept cold while in the car on the way there and back, we kept it plugged into the campsite electric whilst away.

A useful tip is to cool for an hour or two and then turn off the power – the insulation is so good that you can easily last a weekend using just a standard pre-charged leisure battery – of course on electric hookup or a battery pack like the Ecoflow Delta 2 then you’ll have no power limitations and can just run pretty much permanently.

You can also use this cool box to keep things hot as it will keep food warm up to a maximum temperature of +65°c. The insulation on Peltier/Thermoelectric coolboxes is generally not that good, only on a par with a so-so passive coolboxes, rather relying on the powered cooling to compensate.

As mentioned previously, you can then disconnect the power so that the insulation is put to work and your food can remains frozen for several hours without using any more juice. The inside power lead is about 1m long, so you need to plan where your electrical mains adaptor is in your tent. The most versatile fridge available (they’re often included in caravans), but a bit of overkill for a week away in your tent. However when you first use the cooler, you must let it run empty for 24 hour on its high setting so tht the refrigeration gases can settle down and do their job. The 40L capacity is too big; if it is not full, it will not be as effective in keeping food and drink cool.

In our opinion, no electric cooler combines greater simplicity, affordability, and efficiency than the Outdoor Revolution Eco Deep Extreme.

We placed chilled bottles of water in each passive cool box, along with two ice packs, and measured the temperature increase over the course of the day. We fearlessly embrace all weather conditions, conquering winter chills and even dancing through hurricanes.
