Summary: UGH! Stay away from this!
Comment: This came without a cord. Then we had to get a different cord (more money) to plug it in when not in the car. Then it stopped working altogether. It wasn't worth the time and aggravation. I'm giving it away.

Summary: quick delivery, effective product
Comment: the cooler was delivered in just a few days. it fits perfectly between the seats of my minivan and behind the passenger seat of my sedan. it's a bit noisy to operate in the house, but the noise is completely drowned out at highway speeds in a car. it is a good size and keeps things cool for quite a while even when the car is turned off.

Summary: Keeps stuff nice and HOT!
Comment: This combination cooler/heater is just what I was looking for! Actually, I'll probably never use it as a cooler. Moderately filled, it can heat things up to 150°F (measured) in a few short hours.
The only thing keeping me from giving it a full five stars are a few design and manufacturing issues. I don't really care for the pigtail power receptacle dangling from the unit. A built-in port would've been nicer, but I can live with it. Overall plastic forming and construction is good, but there was excessive adhesive that had oozed out from the heatsink area. These issues don't mean this thing won't do its job. But it's possibly something the QC person should take a look at to bring this product to the next level.
Regardless, I'm happy with it. So far it's holding up to a fair amount of abuse (including being checked in with with luggage for cross country flights). Would I order another if I needed one? Definitely yes.

Summary: Kooltron Compact Kooler
Comment: I keep this in the trunk of my car all the time. We have the large size of this cooler and use it on trips -- no messy ice to deal with. We live in a small town so when we go for "big" grocery shopping trips it's a 45 minute drive and I usually stop at 2 or 3 places. This little cooler keeps my cool stuff cool while I'm rinning around without taking up the whole trunk.

Summary: GREAT TRAVEL FRIDGE
Comment: We purchased this unit for a road trip from Oregon to S. Calif. We wanted to be able to buy sandwiches, snacks and bottled water in the morning and eat on the road, or keep things cold overnight. This fridge worked great, we used it every day of our three week trip, and could take it into the hotel to keep our bottled water and snacks cold at night. We also purchased the additional AC power cord. The unit is small, lightweight, and the noise is minimal for a fridge. The only down side is that it doesn't cycle on and off like a regular fridge so things at the bottom and toward the compresser would freeze overnight. We just put the water there, no problem. Would highly recommend this unit! We have used it several times since the purchase.

Editorial Reviews:

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
