Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Koolatron Compact Kooler
Customer Review: Keeps things cool. Makes some noise.
Summary: 4 Stars
Product seems well made and arrived in good order. The only thing that I have found bad about it is the fan makes some pretty loud noise. I think it may bother me when I have it in a motel room (I also bought the AC adapter).
I have some experience with this type cooler and the others I have used did not have as loud of fan.
On the plus side: It fits where I wanted it behind my drivers seat, so my front seat passenger can reach back and open it easily. Quality feel to it and it is not too heavy.
The instructions say only use in heat mode 'up to 45 minutes' if that makes a difference to anyone.
Customer Review: Second one works

We purchased this for my husband who is a professional truck driver. Unit was intended to replace his old coleman. The first Koolatron unit worked for a few days then nothing. Completely inoperable. Amazon was excellent about getting us a new unit very quickly and several months later the replacement unit is working as it should. My husband appreciates the smaller size that easily fits in back of his seats, in his closet etc. We restock his truck every weekend so the more compact size was not an issue for us. The unit keeps a weeks worth of food at a safe temp. We would recommend this model.Customer Review: fits as a carryon for air travel too!

I fly several times a year to do cooking demos for aquaculture associations. This cooler fits exactly under the airplane seats so the flight attendants don't fuss. Even when full of fish, it's easy enough to handle by attaching to my rollaround suitcase in the airport. For several years I used an Igloo brand, which has since been discontinued. I'm happy with the Koolatron brand so far. Adaptor is a must when travelling, for the car and hotel room. As everyone here has stated, cold food/drink to start with really helps.
Customer Review: Works well

I use this for keeping my coffee warm while on the road. I will usually get 3 large containers and keep 2 in the cooler using the heat to keep them hot.
I noticed that the containers are wet along with the holders I put inside to hold the containers in place. Not sure why it does this but it does keep the coffee hot for several hours even if you unplug it after a half hour.
Other than the moister it works like I wanted.
Customer Review: Test run
Summary: 4 Stars
Item arrived in good time. Planning 3000 mi. trip. Will be put to the test. Have used it as recommended in instructions and worked fine. Fan very quiet, nice fit behind seat, filled with 24 cans of pop that had been refriged and they stayed cold after 2hr. drive, and still cold in morning after sitting overnight with power off. I give this cooler a A+ on function, have not tried the heat mode yet, maybe next winter.
