Roadpro 7-Liter 12 V Cooler works great August 29, 2010 D. Landin (Central East coast of Florida, United States) We are very pleased with both Roadpro and their cooler. However, our experience did not start out so well. We received the Roadpro 12V cooler for Christmas 2009, and were so busy we did not have a chance to try it out until after Amazon's 30-day return policy had expired. The first unit we received did not cool at all. We contacted Roadpro through their website, and were pleased with their reply and instructions on how to return the bad unit for a replacement. We did so, Roadpro followed through with a new unit, and it works great. We keep it powered through a "Koolatron Battery Saver" in the car, which prevents the car battery from running down overnight. We also keep a blue cool-pack in the cooler, too help keep it cool when the battery saver turns off the power.
The unit holds a 6-pack of canned soda, or any equivalent amount of drinks or food. We recommend the Roadpro company, the Roadpro 12V Cooler, and the Koolatron Battery Saver.
Does what it claims August 18, 2010 MY_CHUNKY_MUNKY I purchased this cooler for my husband to take to work with him & he loves it. My husband drives a cement mixer, driving in the 100 degree weather here. This cooler actually keeps his lunch cold, to the point where the lettuce on his sandwich became a little frosty. He has also used it to keep his food warm on cooler days & so far it works great!
baaaad August 1, 2010 Miss Ellie Never worked. To get the green (cool) light on, I had to place the switch in the warm posyion. It made no difference everything we put in became very hot in both positions. I was pleased with the return peocess.
Semi-Useless June 18, 2010 S. WIlliams (USA) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Well, I ordered this for a long road trip we've just returned from and have to say I'm definitely disappointed. While it works, as in turns on and off, it doesn't actually "work," as in keeping beverages all that cool. Is it cooler than, say, the ambient temperature of your car? Definitely. Is it as cool as a cooler? Not even close.
The unit's power connection also seems to loosen frequently with the jiggling motion inherent in a moving car, so that's another downer. Fortunately (????), it's quite loud (fan), so you can tell when it's jiggled itself loose, again, and fix it quickly. I will also note the cup holders on the top are NOT as pictured here, but are instead shallow slots on the top of the unit that are almost too small for a can of soda. At any rate, you wouldn't put a full can in as you have to wiggle the can to get it out and, therefore, spill it all over; which we did, several times. (Also, in case you're wondering, the cup holders are not cooling/heating.)
To sum up, if you put cold from the fridge cans in this unit, they'll say moderately cool as long as the unit is on, but not as cold as they were when you put them in. But this unit will NOT cool warm soda, even after it's been in there for hours, and the top layer of cans (they have to stack on top of each other to fit in 12) doesn't get any cooling at all, necessitating a constant shifting of drinks in order to use it. If you're trying to put in odd-size bottles or anything else ... Well, good luck with that.
We never tried the "keep warm" function but, all in all, I'm sorry I wasted my money and will stick with my $5 cooler and an ice pack from now on.
I took the bait... May 30, 2010 Traveller (Music City USA) 3 out of 7 found this review helpful
I didn't even try this product out since the specific reason I ordered it was I thought it was AC adaptable--I ordered an adapter that was shown as being frequently bought with the cooler/warmer, but when I read the operating instructions that were included with the unit, it specifically stated NOT to use an AC adapter. Evidently I was not the first to be misled this way. I won't be ordering this type of product on line anymore without knowing the particulars, that's for sure...
