Customer Review: Get's hot.
Summary: 3 Stars
This adapter worked well at getting my cooler cold before putting it in my car and at night when not travelling. The unit itself seems to get hot and makes me wonder if there is something wrong with it. Not sure it's supposed to do that.Customer Review: Hot Hot Hot

Summary: 2 Stars
As I go into three years using my Koolatron Compact Kooler, this is my third adapter.
I purchased my first cooler and adapter in April of 2008.
The cooler died and I purchased a second one in May 2009.
The second adapter was purchased in August 2009 and just died today.
I'm now on my third adapter as the second just blew while I was sitting here on the computer. I noticed the motor on the cooler stopped. When I looked over, the adapter was sparking and smoking. * sigh * It's a good thing I was here. But then, I never leave the cooler or adapter unattended for long, else I'll disconnect it.
Now, you may be wondering why I keep purchasing the same pieces of junk every year. Well, unlike most coolers, I run this one ALL YEAR ROUND. Rarely do I disconnect it. So, it's never a seasonal or an on-off-on-off thing. For something that runs about 340 days out of the year, it's not bad and I'm getting my money's worth.
So, if you get this adapter, just plan on blowing $40 every year. Some people on here say they've only gotten a few uses from it. Thank God, I've been fortunate. I feel that for $140 of decent cooling a year, it's not so bad. That's about .40 cents a day plus electricity. It's cheaper than a fridge. *shrug*
