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:	Where was this cooler made
Answer:	Would this work AS a hammock? NO. It is basically a narrow 20" foam pad. Would it work IN a hammock? NOT WELL, I would think. The pad is just over one inch thick of foam rubber. In a hammock, it would scrunch up, probably tear. Pad needs to be on a flat surface such as a floor.
Question:	Will it hold 20oz sodas upright
Answer:	No. Don't buy this tent, it's junk...
Question:	It appears the width across the lid is larger than the bottom. Whats the width across the bottom
Answer:	About 1/2 inch. Fiberglass. (Sorry I can't go to the garage and measure, both of mine were confiscated when my sons camped on private property and had to flee to avoid a summons. Bummer. Still haven't replaced them.)
Question:	Does it leak if you shake it or tip it over
Answer:	You should be able to set it up in most living rooms but it is big and will take up a lot of space. If you set it up outside I recommend staking it down. A good wind gust can blow it away if empty.
