Coleman PowerChill Thermoelectric Cooler with Power Supply (40-Quart) Review

Coleman PowerChill Thermoelectric Cooler with Power Supply (40-Quart)

I bought this cooler to plug-in and sit in the back of one of my Jeeps for road trips and weekend getaways where we want to bring our own food instead of eating out and especially fast food. Recently my wife and I rented a small cabin and we made our meals at home, put the meals in this cooler for the trip and then we used it as a fridge at the cabin (the cabin just had electricity).
I didn't buy this to be a full time fridge so I can't say how many years it will last? So far it works just fine, is quiet and keeps everything cold (including beer!). It's benefit is that no ice is required, and in fact you are not suppose to use ice with it as the moisture from the melting ice may cause the fan to ice up. For those that have said that theirs froze up, they may have put ice in it? I do have another ice cooler to use when I can't plug this one in.
The cigarette lighter power cord is long enough so that you can place it about anywhere in your vehicle. But be sure to also buy the power cord for plugging into a standard electrical outlet when not in your vehicle.

Wagan EL2260 6-Liter Personal Fridge / Warmer Review

Wagan EL2260 6-Liter Personal Fridge / Warmer

I know I was not the only one to be misled by the product discription, and when I contacted the seller about the 'missing wall plug' all I got was the runaround. Be aware this item only comes with the auto-plug feature, the optional wall plug is only if you buy it seperately, that is, if you can find it.
The fridge comes with a temperature display that has never worked, the cup holder is a cheap, roughly hewn soda-can holder that flips open akwardly from the top of the front panel.
I have also found the fridge to be miserably under-powered. ALL it will do is lower the ambient temperature of the room slightly, and if you place items in the fridge that aren't pre-chilled, you're wasting your time if the mini-fridge isn't kept in a briskly-chilled room or car.
If ever I was to regret a purchase, this is definitely it.
To note, I have not tried using the warming feature.

This 6-liter 12-volt auto cooler/warmer allows you to keep food and beverages cool or warm them up with the flip of a switch. This product offers convenience and comfort on the road - no messy ice required. 6 liter capacity can hold 9 cans. Cooling capacity is 40 degrees below room temperature and can heat up to 140 degrees. Simply plug into your vehicle's 12-volt cigarette lighter to use. Features a digital temperature display on the front of the unit, 2 built-in cup holders, a hot/cold/off switch and a padded armrest. A convenient shoulder strap provides easy and safe transport on the go. The item is designed to fit in front console or back seat. Optional AC adapter available for use in home and office (Wagan item EL9903).It is strongly recommended to pre-chill items before placing them inside to cool. It’s best to take items from the refrigerator that are already cold instead, rather than room temperature items since warmer items slow the cooling process. It may take up to 45-60 minutes to reach the maximum cooling capacity, especially in warm environments such as your vehicle. The digital temperature readout is affected by its proximity to a cooling part inside the unit so a lower interior temperature may display. Turning on the air conditioner in the vehicle will also expedite the cooling process.
