the cooler does a great job.I will refer to friends. It does real good at keeping everything cold. Thanks

Plugged it in and it took the temperature to 40 degrees below outside temp within an hour or so and held.handy unit.

I purchased this cooler because I am going to start to commute to work (about 2 hours 30 min from home) and stay in a hotel for the weekend. I purchased the house converter so I could use it in my home as well. When it was empty it kept the cooler temperature at approx 42-46 degrees. When I filled it with food it kept the temperature at approx 49-52 degrees. The ambient temperature of my kitchen ranged from 68-74 degrees. So the 40 degrees that they claim it is supposed to get down to isn't the truth. It only lowered the temperature about 20-25 degrees and nothing more. I wouldn't use this cooler as a primary fridge, but it works ok for a day or two with fruits and veggies. Otherwise I wouldn't trust it for expensive food that needs a good cool fridge to keep good.

Although this product performs to its specifications its fan noise is very irritating and loud. I was very dissapointed after plugging it in to find this out. I'll keep it because I can use it as a cooler outside on my deck in the summer where the noise may not matter.
