Cooling is by the thermoelectric effect and again is a little limited. It will get you to around 10°C in our experience on a standard UK spring day (i.e. not too hot outside). Vonshef actually suggest 12°C as the minimum temperature which is way off from where we would prefer to be – around 5-6°C. Still, it can definitely chill and is great for cooling drinks in this respect, when you don’t have to be completely ice cold. We think 20 – 30 litres is the sweet spot for a camping trip away for one to four people. It can store just enough stuff to keep you all going for a few days, and the fewer of you there are, the longer you can last between reloading! We tested both electric cool boxes and passive ones, on everything from insulation to durability and portability. Our testing revealed one passive and two electric cool boxes that impressed enough to earn our Best Buy recommendation. The best cool boxes The 45l ECO Deep offers the convenience of using either AC (240V) or DC (12V) power connection. 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.Size You'll generally find that cool boxes have larger capacities. You can get cool bags up to 50 litres, but if you need more consider a cool box instead. The cooler can be easily switched between hot and cold settings, making it perfect for keeping your cold drinks icy cold or maintaining the temperature of hot food. It also comes with an integrated handle for easy transportation, making it ideal for long days in the great outdoors! Delivered Monday to Saturday 8am-8pm, excluding bank holidays.
