Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Koolatron Compact Kooler
Customer Review: good buy
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Keeps things cool. Makes some noise.
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Customer Review: One of my favorite things!

I bought this for my husband in Dec "08 intending to
use it on our road trip honeymoon. We have gotten tons of use out of this.
We use it for daytrips. We use it with the adapter to bring into
hotel rooms with us. I love to bring some yogurt and small snacks and
cream for coffee. It's not huge, but it's pretty roomy. We even use it during the holidays and for parties when there is not enough room for everything in our refrigerator. We have never used the heating part, so I can't attest to that.
This unit is working for us today as well as the day we (I) bought it.
Customer Review: Second one works
Summary: 4 Stars
We purchased this for my husband who is a professional truck driver. Unit was intended to replace his old coleman. The first Koolatron unit worked for a few days then nothing. Completely inoperable. Amazon was excellent about getting us a new unit very quickly and several months later the replacement unit is working as it should. My husband appreciates the smaller size that easily fits in back of his seats, in his closet etc. We restock his truck every weekend so the more compact size was not an issue for us. The unit keeps a weeks worth of food at a safe temp. We would recommend this model.Customer Review: Great buy.
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
