User questions & answers

Question:	From what I see in the reviews it seems that there is a problem with the cord getting to hot and the tip of it melting.Is there a better quality cord
Answer:	I've had no issues with the cord attached to the cooler itself but I did have an issue with the Schumacher PC-6 120AC to 6A 12V DC Power Converter that I purchased for indoor use. It ran hot and in less than 6 months it died (Amazon graciously allowed me to return it and gave me a full refund). I replaced it with a Wagan 5 Amp AC to 12V DC Power Adapter. While it gets a little warm, it runs much cooler than with the Schumacher adapter. In fact, the Igloo runs quieter and appears to be more efficient with this adapter. That said I think the power source may be the root cause of the issues that others may have with overheating/melting. I run my cooler inside, all day, everyday as it serves as my office refrigerator and I've had it since last November. I love it and will buy another on the sad day planned obsolescence kicks in.
Question:	Why is the larger unit cheaper than the smaller unit
Answer:	Really don't know but I found out that the larger one keeps cooler much longer and at a lower degree.
Question:	What is the power consumption in amps? I'm useing deep cycle batteries, and low amps is a must
Answer:	Working current, battery consumption is between 3.5 to 4.8 Amps according to the owner's operating manual. The current draw is 6 amps maximum at 12-volt DC. I hope this is helpful.
Question:	What is the inside height with the lid closed? Looking to keep some Smartwater bottles in there (they are 12" tall and 3" diameter). Thanks in advance
Answer:	I have the same question except I'm wondering if the lid will close with 2-litre soda bottles standing inside. That 13 1/2" height measurment sounds rreeaalllly close to the height of a 2 litre bottle. Has anyone actually tried it?

User questions & answers

Question:	Would this keep drinks cold on an outdoor patio
Answer:	This unit will keep things about 20 degrees cooler than the outside temp at best. I freeze a couple of water bottles or a freezer pack and it will keep things cold much better. Takes about 10 hrs or more before the frozen bottles melt enough to drink with the outside temp at over 90 degrees.
Question:	What mechanism generates the cool
Answer:	40 Quart PowerChill Hot/Cold Thermoelectric Cooler Take some cold drinks on your next road trip while leaving the ice at home with a Coleman 40 Quart PowerChill Thermoelectric Cooler. More than a cooler, but not quite a refrigerator, it cools up to 40 °F below the surrounding temperature without any ice. So if you use your cooler in an environment where the temperature is 70 °F, this cooler will maintain an internal temperature around 30 °F. You can use it like you would any other cooler except, instead of throwing ice inside, you simply plug in the 12V car power adapter. Then add your pre-chilled drinks and snacks. Your cooler will reach maximum coldness in about three hours (you can speed this up by adding Coleman ice substitutes) and stay cold as long as it's plugged in. Large enough to hold 44 cans, you'll have plenty of space for refreshments for the whole trip, and you can keep all your contents organized with the storage tray.
Question:	Can it be powered with a battery
Answer:	Sure....It is 12 volt, so it can be powered with the included cigarette lighter cord, or from any 12 volt battery with the appropriate cord for connection.
Question:	How long can it stay plugged in before draining battery
Answer:	That question depends totally on your battery supply. Mine runs off of 2 -12V batteries and I can leave it on for 12 hrs or more before I have to start the truck and make sure the batteries don't get past half used.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why is this listed as a freezer if it only goes down to 43 degrees Fahrenheit
Answer:	I do not remember what the warranty was, but I bought mine at Sam's club, and they refunded in full. I also had called company, and they were willing to replace parts. They also said that if parts did not work, would replace unit... I only had ours a few months before it burned up. No one offered to do anything about my scorched table though... Makes you wonder what they would have done it if it had caused my house to burn down.
Question:	I need a setting that's constantly between 68f - 76F. Will this do that
Answer:	Hi the interior dimensions are 17 inches L x 12.5 inches W x 12.5 inches H. The interior is design to fit a standard 24 bottle Corona case of beer.
Question:	Will it hold half gallon milk
Answer:	Unfortunately no. there is a small freezer compartment up top. It is manual defrost and frosts over quite a bit.I too was looking for refrigerator only. However, I have the 4 year square trade warranty, and the fridge has reliably kept things under 38 degrees for about a year.

User questions & answers

Question:	What size solar panel does it take to power this, or if anyone has tried it
Answer:	This thing uses a surprising amount of electricity. And it's VERY poorly insulated, so as soon as it stops running it heats up quickly. In full sun, a 100w solar panel will work, but no matter where you are (assuming the US) you'll only get 4-5 hours of full, direct sun per day. The other problem is that this cooler is very poorly insulated. The top isn't even airtight. So that means it will start to warm up about half an hour after the sun is no longer directly overhead. To get around this you'll need several (3-4) 100w panels and at least 100-150 mah of battery storage if you want to keep something cold for one day.
Question:	Is there a power cord with this cooler and how long is it
Answer:	Yes, it has a 9 ft long,12vdc power cord. One end has a plug that fits into a lighter socket, the other end has a plug that connects to a short cable on the unit. It can be connected to either produce hot or cold depending on need.
Question:	Does this thing run constantly (and draw constant amps) or does it cycle on and off like a regular fridge
Answer:	The fan appears to run constantly. When using the adapter indoors the same is true so I think it is set up to run all the time and maintain a roughly 40 degree temperature drop from the surroundings. When we travel in the car, we put a couple of frozen water bottles in at the beginning of a trip. These allow us to stop for several hours of sightseeing without having the cooler get warm. WE stopped for as long as 5 hours and everything was still nice and cold when we got back to the car. On a recent 23 day trip out west, we took it into each hotel at night and plugged in the adapter. We probably used hotel refrigerator freezers a half dozen times to refreeze the bottles and when we got home we still had ice in the bottles. The nice thing is that with this cooler, everything stays dry and you don't have to get dripping water all over everything when you want a drink or worry about things falling into the water in the cooler. There is no water in the bottom.However, the cooler does draw significantly so you would not want to leave it on when the engine is not running in the car. We don't have that problem because all our outlets are controlled by the ignition key.
Question:	Can it be left on overnight and not run the battery down? Are there molded in carry handles on the sides
Answer:	Yes there are molded handles on the sides. I am a truck driver so this goes in the cab of an 18-wheeler. So I cannot say whether it would run down a car battery if ran overnight and the car is off. This works great in the cab of my 18-wheeler, it is rugged and can handle the bouncing around in an 18-wheeler. Previously I have used the Coleman plug-in coolers and they only lasted a few months. Hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you store breast milk in this
Answer:	Didn’t like this product at all. Bought it for my dad as a birthday gift and it never gets cold. Just cool. And if you are like every other corona drinker your beer needs to be ice cold to taste best. So allot of power for no good outcome.
