Electric Cooler
There are two main variety of coolers: A mini fridge that runs on electricity (i.e. electric cooler) and the
ice cooler which works by delaying the rate at which ice melts.
The advantage of the electric cooler is that its a device that will never let you down. The best ice
coolers such as the Coleman cooler will only be able to keep the ice frozen for up-to a maximum of six
days. With models at the other end of the scale, the time frame of use is significantly lower.
With an electric cooler, they will just go on and on. So if someone is likely to be away for a longer
period of time, they can rest knowing there is a device on hand to keep the milk, eggs, bread or whatever else you will store in the best possible shape.
As a device running on electric power, with more extensive mechanical system,
generally electric coolers are more expensive then regular a cooler.
Coleman is the lading maker in camping and outdoor equipment. They produce are number of electric coolers which have received positive reviews. There is the 16 and 40 Quart Powerchill range of
thermo electric coolers which will meet any travellers needs.
The 16 Quart Powerchill thermoelectric cooler is a 12v fridge that uses the DC power source such as a battery, would
be plugged into the battery source of the vehicle. Its a device that hold two 2 litres bottles. This
would be nice coolbox to have to store a small number of items. There is also the bigger 40 Quart
Powerchill thermo electric cooler.
It is capable of holding up to 44 cans in addition to other food which may need refrigeration.
The 16 quart cooler has a handle for carrying and would be opened from the top. The 40 quart electric
cooler can be adjusted as a chest or upright (like you'd find in the home).
Along with Coleman, there is the Koolatron coolers. Koolatron have a great deal more variety of electric
coolers to choose from as the12v fridge is their main area of expertise.
One difference between the Coleman 12 volt fridge and the Koolatron variety is that since the 40 quart
range of Coleman coolers look like a household fridge and comes with tray facilities. It will
helped to keep the fridge coordinated and certainly will be easier to find items. Unlike the Koolatron
12v cooler there would be no need to dig deep, remove items at the top to take out things at the very
bottom. One can say no consideration needs to be given for packing this model.
An electric cooler as it operates on battery power from the car or recreation vehicle or truck, does
have the negative setback on relying on the vehicle as the power source. It means battery will need to be
recharged or changed on a more regular basis. But given the advantage that an electric cooler provide
for people who love the outdoors, its no major issue.
