The multifunctional 3-in-1 power supply was a lifesaver. I used the 12V DC adaptor for long car journeys and the USB power lead during our garden party. The 22-litre capacity allowed me to store enough food and drinks for my family without any issue. On the downside, this cool box is somewhat expensive compared to similar products on the market. Additionally, it requires that items be pre-chilled before placing them inside to achieve the best cooling results. Lastly, the cool box is rather bulky and can take up a considerable amount of space in the car. The cooling capability of the Allied UK 24L Electric Cool Box is impressive, with a cooling capacity of 15-18°C below the ambient temperature, and its heating functionality is equally reliable. It can reach a temperature of 50-65°C with the help of a thermostat. Moreover, the red and green indicator lights efficiently display the hot/cold status, allowing me to monitor the temperature easily.

Compressor coolboxes, coolers or portable fridges are the most high-end type on the market, offering a range of clever features and sophisticated functionality for those with a larger budget. They’re the perfect choice for longer staycations and for use in caravans or campervans. I recently took the GlamHaus Electric Cooler Box on a camping trip, and it exceeded my expectations in terms of performance and convenience. Its advanced insulation, combined with CFC-free thermoelectric technology, kept my food and drinks at just the right temperature throughout the weekend. However, if you’re only off for a picnic or a few days of camping, then a standard ice box should be perfect. Ultimately, cool boxes can make for an excellent addition to your arsenal of camping equipment, and could well make your shopping list when you’re identifying the camping essentials. Why shop at Halfords? Frequency: How often are you likely to use your coolbox? This could help to determine how much you’d like to spend. Coolbags, coolboxes, coolers, portable fridges, camping fridges – there are lots of ways to describe the containers that we use to help keep our food and drink deliciously cool while we’re heading off on a camping trip, staycation or long car journey.Remember to consider the aspects mentioned above when selecting the best electric cool box for your needs. By doing so, you’ll be better equipped for your next trip, whether it’s a picnic, camping adventure or a day out at the beach. Conclusion One downside I noticed is that it can be a bit noisy sometimes. It might not be a deal-breaker for most, but if you’re sensitive to noise, it can be bothersome. Also, the cool box may draw a lot of power when used in a motorhome or vehicle, so it’s something to consider if you plan to use it during extended road trips. One of the features I appreciate is its dual power options, allowing me to power it by a vehicle’s cigarette lighter or an indoor house plug. This flexibility is beneficial when you need to switch power sources or if you wish to use it both outdoors and indoors.

Purpose and destination: What do you want to use your coolbox for? Will you be taking your lunch to work, having a family picnic on the beach or heading out on a camping holiday to the south of France? And do you need freezing as well as cooling capabilities? The cool box’s cooling performance exceeded my expectations. Even though it is not a full fridge replacement, it managed to keep my food and drinks chilled at 18°C below the ambient temperature. This was more than enough to ensure that everything stayed cold and fresh during our trip. One downside I encountered was when trying to store 2-litre bottles in an upright position; I had to lay them down flat because of the limited height. Though not a significant issue, it is something to consider if you plan to store large beverage bottles. At Halfords, we’ve got coolboxes and cool bags perfect for outdoor adventures. Our standard coolboxes use freezer boards to keep food and drink fresh. Imagine your own camping fridge, keeping drinks cold on a hot day, or storing your food safely before you cook up a storm. They aren’t the only cool box option though. Electric coolboxes

The verdict: Cool bags and ice boxes

Portability: Do you need to be able to transport the coolbox a significant distance and if so, would you prefer to carry it or wheel it? I recently took the Mobicool MV30 on a weekend camping trip, and it turned out to be a lifesaver. The 29-litre volume allowed me to store plenty of food and drinks, including six 1.5-litre bottles standing upright. Cleaning the cool box was hassle-free. The wipe-clean exterior and interior saved me time, allowing me to focus on enjoying my camping experience. Keep in mind that if the box is filled to capacity, it may struggle to maintain optimal cooling. However, this was not a problem for me, as I managed the contents well and didn’t overfill it. The Dometic BordBar TB 15 also features LED indicators for easy monitoring of the cooling and heating functions. However, it’s worth noting that the energy efficiency and specific additional features of the Dometic BordBar TB 15 are not specified in the available information. Depending on the specific cooling requirements and desired additional features, customers may need to weigh the advantages of the Dometic BordBar TB 15’s compact size and versatile cooling and heating capabilities against the Mobicool MV30’s larger capacity and portability.
