Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Koolatron Multi-Purpose Adapter 110AC to 12 Volts DC ( Model AC-15)
Customer Review: Koolatron Multi-Purpose Adapter
Summary: 4 Stars
Good product. Used twice already. Seems to run a little hot, but is just what we needed to make full use of our Kooltron cooler/warmer.Customer Review: Excellent Product!
Summary: 4 Stars
This adapter work flawlessly with the Koolatron cooler. My only concern is that it tends to be a little too hot with prolonged use.Customer Review: Good to have, but flawed.
Summary: 3 Stars
This item is a must have if planning a road trip where one of the Koolatron thermoelectric coolers (a great device to have, by the way) is being used, as it allows the cooler to be set up and allowed to cool off ahead of time and to be removed from the vehicle and powered from line current.
The downside is the 12 volt socket: it won't reliably hold the plug from the cooler. Plug the cooler into the power socket in the vehicle, and it holds perfectly. Plug it into the socket on this device, and plan on some fiddling, finagling, careful placement and possibly gaffer's tape to keep the cooler plugged in.
Once the plug was coaxed to stay connected, though, the little converter brick worked like a champ, only getting a little warm to the touch after running overnight on initial cooldown of the cooler.
For the next road trip, a short stop off at the local auto supply or electrical supply shop for a better socket might be in order, but otherwise, I'm glad I included this in my purchase.
Customer Review: Works - but should be included with the Cooler
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought a Koolatron cooler and needed this piece in order to pre-cool the cooler before loading it. During my test, this product did the job, but since it is a necessity with the Kooolatron coolers, it should really be included with the cooler and not be a $25.00 item. That marketing approach is simply not what a high quality company would do. Again, this product worked and you need it if you buy a Koolatron, but since it should be part of the cooler package, I can't in good conscience give 5 stars.
Customer Review: 12 volts from "the wall"
Summary: 3 Stars
This adapter plugs into the wall and turns out 12volts just like your in-car plugs. It is effective and looks reliable (I haven't had it long enough to rate lifetime). It does get pretty hot, so you need to be careful not to let the cords sit on top of the adapter while in use
