Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Koolatron Compact Kooler
Customer Review: works, not well insulated
Summary: 3 Stars
This review is for the Koolatron Compact Kooler (Model P20 I think). Checking the [...] site, I noticed they specialize in As Seen On TV exclusives.
I used this cooler on a three week road trip. After the trip I think my normal personal size igloo is more practical.
The P20 does do a decent job cooling while it is powered. For my use, the problem is that it is such a poorly insulated container. Any $[...] cooler would hold temperature better. This made me use a real cooler with fresh ice every day instead.
Customer Review: Happy as I can be
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been very happy with my purchase. My Koolatron kept drinks and snacks very cold with no problem. As other reviewers have already noted you need to power up the unit roughly 12 hours prior to loading it with items you want to keep it cold. This unit is not a refrigerator so if you pack it with items not chilled already in refrigerator then it will be a long time before things get cold.
Whether my unit will be reliable long term I cannot say but on my recent use I have used it four days straight without a problem.
Customer Review: Received Koolatron in 1 DAY BUT WITHOUT AUTO / D/C PLUG!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I am greatly upset, I received this item within 24 hours of ordering it which was INSANELY fast delivery, however I received it WITHOUT ANY PLUG!!!! I cannot use this item AT ALL. It is marketed/advertised that it comes with an AUTO / D/C plug included to plug in and use in your car, and if you wanted to buy the optional A/C HOUSE plug it was sold seperately. It is supposed to come with the AUTO DC plug, which I am shocked and pisssed off it didn't. I am returning this ASAP and will never order another product from this company ever.Customer Review: fits as a carryon for air travel too!
Summary: 4 Stars
I fly several times a year to do cooking demos for aquaculture associations. This cooler fits exactly under the airplane seats so the flight attendants don't fuss. Even when full of fish, it's easy enough to handle by attaching to my rollaround suitcase in the airport. For several years I used an Igloo brand, which has since been discontinued. I'm happy with the Koolatron brand so far. Adaptor is a must when travelling, for the car and hotel room. As everyone here has stated, cold food/drink to start with really helps.
Customer Review: First Koolatron was defective, 2nd one we have not used yet
Summary: 3 Stars
Purchased the Koolatron Compact Kooler. Used it for a weekend (worked great)and then it stopped working. The cord that plugs into the car became extremely hot, too hot to handle. Unplugged it and the next time we went to use it, it didn't work. Replaced the fuses several times in the plug and each time we plugged it in, the fuse blew. Contacted Amazon and they sent a new one out right away and we sent the other one back. Have not had the opportunity to use the new one yet. Hopefully it works longer than the first one.
