"Keeps stuff nice and HOT!"
This combination cooler/heater is just what I was looking for! Actually, I'll probably never use it as a cooler. Moderately filled, it can heat things up to 150°F (measured) in a few short hours.

The only thing keeping me from giving it a full five stars are a few design and manufacturing issues. I don't really care for the pigtail power receptacle dangling from the unit. A built-in port would've been nicer, but I can live with it. Overall plastic forming and construction is good, but there was excessive adhesive that had oozed out from the heatsink area. These issues don't mean this thing won't do its job. But it's possibly something the QC person should take a look at to bring this product to the next level.

Regardless, I'm happy with it. So far it's holding up to a fair amount of abuse (including being checked in with with luggage for cross country flights). Would I order another if I needed one? Definitely yes.

"Kooltron Compact Kooler"
I keep this in the trunk of my car all the time. We have the large size of this cooler and use it on trips -- no messy ice to deal with. We live in a small town so when we go for "big" grocery shopping trips it's a 45 minute drive and I usually stop at 2 or 3 places. This little cooler keeps my cool stuff cool while I'm rinning around without taking up the whole trunk.

"GREAT TRAVEL FRIDGE"
We purchased this unit for a road trip from Oregon to S. Calif. We wanted to be able to buy sandwiches, snacks and bottled water in the morning and eat on the road, or keep things cold overnight. This fridge worked great, we used it every day of our three week trip, and could take it into the hotel to keep our bottled water and snacks cold at night. We also purchased the additional AC power cord. The unit is small, lightweight, and the noise is minimal for a fridge. The only down side is that it doesn't cycle on and off like a regular fridge so things at the bottom and toward the compresser would freeze overnight. We just put the water there, no problem. Would highly recommend this unit! We have used it several times since the purchase.

"great product"
Works just like it said it would. other reviews helped me choose this over a different one. Thanks

"Keeps things cool. Makes some noise."
Product seems well made and arrived in good order. The only thing that I have found bad about it is the fan makes some pretty loud noise. I think it may bother me when I have it in a motel room (I also bought the AC adapter).
I have some experience with this type cooler and the others I have used did not have as loud of fan.
On the plus side: It fits where I wanted it behind my drivers seat, so my front seat passenger can reach back and open it easily. Quality feel to it and it is not too heavy.
The instructions say only use in heat mode 'up to 45 minutes' if that makes a difference to anyone.

What our customer's say!

"Pretty Good for a boat", We bought it to use on our sailboat so that we did not have to open the Ice Chest on Hot Days to remove luncheon meat or a drink. We use it with the AC/DC converter so that we use it mostly in port. (Don't like to use batteries when under sail.)

My wife feels that it works fine providing you cool it down well before using it.

"Works great", Fit perfectly behind the front seat of our Cadillac. Cooler did an excellent job of working for our 3 week vacation. Our only disappointment was the directions not specifying that the blue and red dots on the plugs lining up with the arrow decides whether the cooler runs cold or hot. Also, make sure your food is already hot or cold, and the cooler has been running for at least 30 minutes, before placing in cooler.

"koolatron cooler ", great product - use daily to keep water & tea cool - great for travel - fan a little noisy - great value - would purchase again - works extremely well

"UGH! Stay away from this!", This came without a cord. Then we had to get a different cord (more money) to plug it in when not in the car. Then it stopped working altogether. It wasn't worth the time and aggravation. I'm giving it away.

"quick delivery, effective product", the cooler was delivered in just a few days. it fits perfectly between the seats of my minivan and behind the passenger seat of my sedan. it's a bit noisy to operate in the house, but the noise is completely drowned out at highway speeds in a car. it is a good size and keeps things cool for quite a while even when the car is turned off.

"Great for Traveling", We were so glad we bought this cooler for use on a cross-country road trip. It fit nicely behind the front seat, taking up less room then a conventional cooler. We bought the adapter so that we could take the cooler from the car into our hotel rooms at night. As recommended, we plugged it in a few hours or overnight before starting our trip to pre-cool the cooler and placed cold drinks/food in it.
We also bought a car battery saver thinking the cooler would continue to run when we turned the car off, but infortunately it didn't work. All auxiliary power was shut off when the car engine turned off. However, the cooler did keep our food cool for a few hours while sightseeing and was not a problem. Definitely recommend.

"Brrrrr.... chilly!", This cooler actually started to freeze liquid after about 12 hours. It keeps things cool, that's for sure! It is a bit noisy though with the fan running non-stop.

"Great buy.", Nothing negative to say. Arrived fast, as I ordered it for next day. Cooled down fast...must do that cool down time. I ran for several days straight with mostly drinks and some food and it worked great. I'm looking for another occasion to use it sooner than later. It is small, but I bought it for me to be able to handle easily....haven't used the heating mechanism yet. But very happy with the product. So glad I found it and bought it along with the indoor adapter. Does make some noise, but didn't really bother me. Another successful buy from Amazon.

"Works great but noisey", There's an outside fan and an inside condenser fan. The inner fan is like a squeeky wheel that can get on your nerves. I think there may be a problem with mine as I can't imagine that it should make that much noise. Other than that, it works great and is very portable.

"good buy", Perhaps Koolatron has improved their product, because unlike other postings, my cooler cooled down in several hours, not 12. My only complaint is a little too noisy, but that is a small price to pay for a reliable product. Also, I do recommend the ac adaptor. My unit is in my room now, buzzing away, keeping stuff cold. I called the company and was told that I can run it forever, there is no shutoff needed.

One minor point: with this item, you must be careful to align the arrow on the electric cord on the unit with the blue button on the extention, for cold. I did not do that and got heat for a couple of hours until I checked it.
