I'm sure that it will have been covered many times before so I apologise now for my question, but has anyone used the portable coolers before? Are they any good?

I'm looking at the Outwell 24 Litre electric cooler. Anyone used this one?

Thanks.

A lot depends on where you are going, for UK use I have one of the Aldi electric coolers, which is good to 18DegC below ambient.

The Aldi cooler is great for keeping water, beer and wine chilled, but I would not use it for foodstuffs, unless just for a day trip.

For Southern France during July, we use a Waeco CF25, more of a portable fridge/freezer than a cooler, it does a cracking job, and will keep to any temp you set it at, regardless of what the ambient temp is, but overkill for UK use imho.

Just bought one but not used it yet. The quality seems good. Check it'll fit in your boot. It's tall.

I've read it's a good idea to plug it in and chill it down before you go.
