Stay Cool on the Road with Car Coolers
If you find being on the road a very “hot” prospect, a Car Cooler may be able to help. You can use a car cooler for everyday travel. Rather than conventional coolers, which can give you cold drinks when you want them hot or hot drinks when you want them cold, a car cooler you can really do what it’s meant to.
What Do You Use Car Coolers for?
The makers of car coolers had in mind your travel convenience. If you are traveling with children and babies, the cooler can keep baby bottles warm and drink/snacks cold. A cooler that is plugged to the car’s cigarette lighter does away with messy melting ice. It’s a portable fridge without the bulk. The top picks for this type of travel companion are coolers with insulated cup holders and room for dry items. This all-in-one cooler can be used as a mini storage for nappies and wipes.
If you drive a van, this type of cooler can be convenient, because cold drinks and snacks can be there when you need them. No need to stop for meals on the road or to do the “drive-through” unhealthy option. Stay on the road, get more done, and be more efficient. If you have a little car, a car cooler will give you much more storage space. Car coolers can give you lots of advantages, so why go on the road without one?
Features and Brands
Igloo 2707 Kool Cruiser has enough room and is tall enough to hold 3 L bottles and 18 quarts. It can cool things up to 40 degrees Fahrenheit below outside temperatures, and operates almost silently. Gray and white, its lid is thermoelectric and replaceable, very lightweight. It has 12 V power, and you can adjust it to either cool or warm things in the interior. It does have one drawback, which is that the motor is going to need replacement quite often.
The Koolatron is featured next, and is a competitor to Igloo. It’s better in some cases, and has no necessity for frequent motor replacements. The lid, however, can begin to “chip” with constant use, opening and closing. However, if you only use the cooler infrequently, this won’t be a drawback for you. You simply plug the Koolatron into your car’s 12 V cigarette lighter for power, although you should be aware that this can cause some overheating for some of these coolers, similar to the Igloo. Its cooling temperature is a steady 40 degrees F.
The Wagan EL 2577 7-liter fridge/warmer is next in line, with both drinks and food kept at perfect temperatures. No ice needed to keep food and snacks at the perfect temperature, so you can have more room for actual food and drink. This is perfect for families who are on the go all the time.
How to Choose Your Cooler
If you’ve got a long road trip ahead, whether you’ve got children with you or not, car coolers can make the trip so much easier. You won’t need to stop often for food, nor will you have to spend money on unhealthy fast food. It’s best if you use the hard cooler for long trips.
Soft coolers are good for short trips, but they’re only suitable for a few bottles of cold drinks and sandwiches. They can leak, which means they won’t be perfect for long-term situations. You also need to consider how many people are going to be using the cooler when you make your choice. There are lots of Travel Cooler designs available, and different brands and sizes to choose from, too. There’s a lot to choose from, so you won’t have any problem finding the Best Cooler for you.
