Description

Koolatron P20 12V Compact Electric Cooler and Warmer (18 Quarts/17 Liters) Coolers are usually large and unwieldy, which is why Koolatron developed the Compact Kooler, specially designed to fit in the snug spaces behind the seats of many cars, trucks, and vans. Like many of Koolatron's coolers, this unit features a 12-volt cooling system that plugs into a car's cigarette lighter. The cooler's motor blows cold air over your food and beverages, keeping them 40 degrees F cooler than the outside temperature. The cooler also doubles as a warmer, if you'd rather keep the contents toasty. Outside of the car or truck, the cooler is still versatile, with a swinging, foldaway handle for easy portage and a latchless lid that opens with one hand. Other handy features include a convenient cord wrap and a unique storage spot for the unplugged cigarette lighter. Despite the unit's compact size and weight (only 9 pounds), it can still hold up to 23 12-ounce soft drinks. --Rivers Janssen

    • Great product; here are some install ideas
Style: P20
UPDATE: Still going strong, I use this all the time! It has come in handy so many times and using in both orientations as I mentioned, I had not had any problems. I only wish it were a little wider sometimes so I didn't have to change the orientation of the cooler. ORIGINAL REVIEW: The cooler itself is great. I have had it for over a month now so I can't speak to longevity but the short-term experience has been great. I've used it to store leftovers, I've used it to keep drinks on shorter outings, and to keep food on longer trips. Here are some ideas to help with different setups: (1) Use it with a deep cycle battery to keep it running longer, even overnight while stopped at a campsite, hotel, etc. Personally I would go with one of the Optima YellowTops ( Optima Batteries 8040-218 D35 YellowTop Dual Purpose Battery ) because they are sealed, meaning they have less emissions and can THEORETICALLY (if you know what you're doing) be used in an interior compartment if absolutely necessary. My previous vehicle had one installed in the trunk and my current vehicle had space under the hood. To use it in combination with your existing battery, you could connect both batteries to an isolator like Blue Sea Systems Solenoid SI Series (120A 12/24V ACR) or NOCO IGD140HP Grey 140 Amp High-Performance Battery Isolator and you will ensure that your starting battery doesn't run down and that your cooler runs your deep cycle battery down entirely and you can still start your vehicle with the other battery. (2) Instead of the Koolatron battery saver which does not seem to work for a lot of people, wire the Havis ChargeGuard (an older version is here Chargeguard CG12D ). Look on eB*y for good deals on that. It will keep more than just your cooler and has some nicer features as well. (3) Setup in the trunk of an SUV, leave enough room around the vents and tie the back part of it down with an appropriately-sized bungee cord (with the lid opening facing the back so you can open it normally with the trunk open). The bungee cord goes around the back with enough room that it holds tight and doesn't fly anywhere. This is what I did, and since the car is more likely to come to a sudden stop rather than an obnoxious start, it never moved. It is hidden, out of sight, and always available to store leftovers after a dinner while you spontaneously shop after dinner until you get home. The bonus side of this is that it is secure but also removable to take with you into a hotel room for instance. (4) Of course, I have mine plugged into a 12V receptacle that is wired to a switch in the front so while I am driving, if I decide I am going to stop for food that I will want to cool, I can activate it while driving and it will be cool and ready when I need it. Because it is not hardwired directly and still utilizes it's 12V receptacle, I can still take it with me (see #3 above). (5) If you want to use it indoors with 120V power, don't bother purchasing the overpriced Koolatron adapter, any decent reliable 12V power converter (at least 5 amps or greater) will do (such as Wagan 5 Amp AC to 12V DC Power Adapter or Schumacher PC-6 120AC to 6A 12V DC Power Converter ). I will be using the DC power converter that came with my 5.11 Light For Life (google it). (6) You can also use this on its side (without blocking the vents) so that it opens and stores food almost like a real fridge. It will store leftover containers better this way. Since I mostly store drinks, though, I don't do this. ... show more

    • Great!
Style: P9
This cooler worked great on my 4-day trip. I used the DC power in the car for the 7-hour drive and it kept my food and beverages cold. I used the power adapter while in my retreat room and it also kept the food and beverages cold. The strap made carrying the cooler very easy.

    • Don't use any more
Style: P20
It works during the day, if left plugged in it will kill the battery. It you unplug over night, it takes several hours to keep everything cool. Had to use ice packs to get it started, my thoughts if I have to use ice packs I don't need the 12v to keep it cold just use ice.

We bought this unit primarily for a 3,000 mile, nine-day road trip to Mexico. My daughter’s medication needed to be kept cool on the trip, and we figured this was the most convenient way to do it. Filling coolers with ice gets old very quickly, and not all hotel rooms on our budget have fridges. Selected this model due to (1) price, (2) size: fits perfectly between front seats in our Chevy Venture minivan, and (3) good reviews. We also bought the additional Koolatron 110v AC adapter (model: AC-16). Before the road trip I took it on a 5 day field-test to Moab, UT. Plugged it in the night before we left, put cold perishables (milk, eggs, butter, yoghurt) in it the morning and drove off, with no ice. Everything stayed nice and cold. My overlander has a HD battery, so I even left it plugged in at night without draining the battery. Before we left for Mexico, we did a test-run on the minivan battery: after 8 hrs it drained the 75A battery low enough that it couldn’t start the engine. This was important to know. Therefore, on the road trip we had it plugged in all day long, both while we were driving (6-7 hours per day), and during stops along the way. The longest stop was about 4 hours. Performance was not diminished, even though during the day we would access it frequently for snacks and beverages. At night we took it into the hotel room and plugged it into 110V AC. Therefore, it ran CONTINUOUSLY for 9 days and nights without losing it’s cool! Now, in Mexico, we use it when we go shopping. It is 90+ F here, and we have a 20 min drive from home to the grocery store. Ice cream will even stay firm for several hours in this awesome little unit in a hot car!!! We will continue to use it for shopping, the roadtrip home and then for overlanding trips. UPDATE March 2020: We still have this original Koolatron, and it still works perfectly. In the last 5 years it has been with us on many roadtrips and heaps of off-road adventures. This is one tough and dependable product!!! ... show more
