User questions & answers

Question:	From what I see in the reviews it seems that there is a problem with the cord getting to hot and the tip of it melting.Is there a better quality cord
Answer:	I've had no issues with the cord attached to the cooler itself but I did have an issue with the Schumacher PC-6 120AC to 6A 12V DC Power Converter that I purchased for indoor use. It ran hot and in less than 6 months it died (Amazon graciously allowed me to return it and gave me a full refund). I replaced it with a Wagan 5 Amp AC to 12V DC Power Adapter. While it gets a little warm, it runs much cooler than with the Schumacher adapter. In fact, the Igloo runs quieter and appears to be more efficient with this adapter. That said I think the power source may be the root cause of the issues that others may have with overheating/melting. I run my cooler inside, all day, everyday as it serves as my office refrigerator and I've had it since last November. I love it and will buy another on the sad day planned obsolescence kicks in.
Question:	Why is the larger unit cheaper than the smaller unit
Answer:	Really don't know but I found out that the larger one keeps cooler much longer and at a lower degree.
Question:	What is the power consumption in amps? I'm useing deep cycle batteries, and low amps is a must
Answer:	Working current, battery consumption is between 3.5 to 4.8 Amps according to the owner's operating manual. The current draw is 6 amps maximum at 12-volt DC. I hope this is helpful.
Question:	What is the inside height with the lid closed? Looking to keep some Smartwater bottles in there (they are 12" tall and 3" diameter). Thanks in advance
Answer:	I have the same question except I'm wondering if the lid will close with 2-litre soda bottles standing inside. That 13 1/2" height measurment sounds rreeaalllly close to the height of a 2 litre bottle. Has anyone actually tried it?

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the unit warm up the car compartment if it's kept running during a long trip
Answer:	It didn't quit getting cold. It froze with ice everywhere I side and that was at the lowest level. I s frosted it and 2 days later I was caked with ice inside. I keep defrosting it twice a week. Not worth buying.
Question:	Does this run all the time when plugged in or cycle on off like compressor units do? If it's on all the time no wonder it'll drain a 12Vbattery fast
Answer:	Once a week. Horrible product.
Question:	What are the inner dimensions
Answer:	It is 5 shelves
Question:	Can you use this w/ice, then plug it into a 110V outlet at destination
Answer:	Unfortunately… Our freezer and lasted two months before it died and we are still waiting for a replacement with no hope in sight, so we never had to defrost our freezer. The customer service from this company is horrible I do not recommend buying anything from this company.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would this keep drinks cold on an outdoor patio
Answer:	This unit will keep things about 20 degrees cooler than the outside temp at best. I freeze a couple of water bottles or a freezer pack and it will keep things cold much better. Takes about 10 hrs or more before the frozen bottles melt enough to drink with the outside temp at over 90 degrees.
Question:	What mechanism generates the cool
Answer:	40 Quart PowerChill Hot/Cold Thermoelectric Cooler Take some cold drinks on your next road trip while leaving the ice at home with a Coleman 40 Quart PowerChill Thermoelectric Cooler. More than a cooler, but not quite a refrigerator, it cools up to 40 °F below the surrounding temperature without any ice. So if you use your cooler in an environment where the temperature is 70 °F, this cooler will maintain an internal temperature around 30 °F. You can use it like you would any other cooler except, instead of throwing ice inside, you simply plug in the 12V car power adapter. Then add your pre-chilled drinks and snacks. Your cooler will reach maximum coldness in about three hours (you can speed this up by adding Coleman ice substitutes) and stay cold as long as it's plugged in. Large enough to hold 44 cans, you'll have plenty of space for refreshments for the whole trip, and you can keep all your contents organized with the storage tray.
Question:	Can it be powered with a battery
Answer:	Sure....It is 12 volt, so it can be powered with the included cigarette lighter cord, or from any 12 volt battery with the appropriate cord for connection.
Question:	How long can it stay plugged in before draining battery
Answer:	That question depends totally on your battery supply. Mine runs off of 2 -12V batteries and I can leave it on for 12 hrs or more before I have to start the truck and make sure the batteries don't get past half used.
