I purchased this product recently to take on a 4500 mile road trip. My car has two 12V accessory outlets which are fused with a single 15A fuse. I was planning to run the GPS unit from one and the Koolatron from the other. The first problem surfaced when I discovered that the 12V plug would not stay plugged in to the outlet; the spring clips on the side were set back about 1/4" relative to those on the GPS 12V plug; this forced the plug out of the outlet. When I held the plug in, it then blew the fuse twice. Koolatron seems willing to work with me on the plug size issue- they claim they use industry standard, but they do recommend using a cigarette lighter outlet (more power). Nothing in the Koolatron literature indicated that it drew above 5A, so the fuse issue is still a question. Since we could not cool during the road travel, we religiously took the cooler into the hotel room and cooled overnight using the AC adapter. This worked very well, just a little noisy unless we could keep it in the bathroom and close the door. The big problem I noticed is that the insulation capacity must not be very high, since during the day (when we couldn't run off 12V) the inside of the cooler warmed up significantly. I suspect the problem is that the cooling fan port is a direct inlet to the interior, making heat exchange with the external environment easy and faster than a normal cooler. The lid design, handles, and wheels are very functional. Hopefully I'll get my two issues solved and then be able to use this as intended.Customer Review: Works just as promised

Not only was I very pleased with the performance of the cooler-it kept the temperature of the contents in the high thirty's or lower forty's(depending on the outside temperature). However, one disappointment-the first time I used the cooler I noticed the hinges on the larger door were broken/cracked. I don't know if this was received as damaged or we broke them on our first trip using the cooler. I received a set of replacement hinges within three days after I contacted Koolatron customer service. Their service and support is great and they were very pleasant to work with. All in all, I do not regret making this purchase.Customer Review: Great for travel, needs bigger/rubber wheels

I really like this product. Having it do hot and cold is a great feature. It gets pretty cold (haven't used the hot yet) and it is very quiet. Capacity is good. I would recommend buying the AC adapter to that you can pre-cool and pre-heat it prior to a road trip. The little door is great for quick access. I haven't needed to use it like a mini-fridge yet but it's good to know that it's possible. Good bang for the buck.Customer Review: Koolkraft

I love the product, but was so terribly disappointed in Amazon and their service...or lack thereof. It was a horrible experience with lie after shipping date lie. I didn't end up receiving my product in time for the event I'd ordered it for - my parent's anniversary - thus missing the opportunity to give it to them in time for their big trip they were embarking on. All in all, it was devastating.
