This is fantastic for camping and picnics, and is definately one of my 'better buys', I have yet to use it in the car but the car lead is nice and long, in my little car i can put this cooler in my boot and the lead will still reach into the ciggy lighter.

On its warming and cooling capabilities, the lowest the fridge can go is 3°C, while the highest is 65°C. It’s worth mentioning the noise the fridge makes too – it doesn’t! It is almost completely silent which can be a godsend when it’s running in your tent and you’re trying to sleep.

The handle, which can also help keep the lid in position when you need the box open, is super-strong and handy. As for the interior of the Hi-Gear, it isn’t partitioned – however, as a result it can easily be cleaned using water and a small piece of cloth without any fuss. If you're into trekking, want something for the odd picnic, or to keep your lunch cool for work A cooler bag may be the way to go.

Size You'll generally find that cool boxes have larger capacities. You can get cool bags up to 50 litres, but if you need more consider a cool box instead. Dimensions are reasonably compact at 26.9 (W) x 32.2(D) x 38(H) cm, and we found this an excellent size for a few nights away in our tent. It’s a great option for a mini-break or an afternoon retreat as it is small enough to be easily carried using the ergonomic handle on top. However, it’s probably more of a fridge than a coolbox to take picnicing – just bear this in mind!Outwell have taken particular care with antimicrobial coatings on the EcoCool, and in fact it has been treated with a biocidal glass coating inside – this is a special glass which has bug-killing properties and is a real selling point in our view. Hot to trot?

An electric cool box is a portable refrigeration unit that can be powered by electricity from a car or boat cigarette lighter or mains power. They are a good choice for people who need to keep food and drinks cold while on the go, such as on camping trips, picnics, or long car journeys. They are also useful for people who don't have access to a refrigerator in a particular location, such as at a beach house or vacation home. Electric cool boxes are also more environmentally friendly than traditional coolers that use ice, as they don't require the constant replenishment of ice and don't add to landfills. What size cool box do I need for my camping trip? The EcoCool could also be called the EcoHeat as the cooling action can be switched to heat for temperatures up to 60°C higher than ambient. This is plenty for keeping soup or pies warm whilst you go out for a late night winter walk. This cool box has all year round use! Thermoelectric coolers cannot be set to a particular temperature like on a conventional fridge – they just cool a certain amount, and it depends how high the fan is whirring as to how much cooling is performed.We were impressed that it can also heat the contents up to ~65°C. Obviously this isn’t hot enough to actually cook food, but it means you can keep your fish and chips warm if you’re busy – watch out for bacteria though – the heating should just be for short blasts after you’ve actually cooked the food. Think of it as maintaining temperature rather than reheating.
