Product Information

One of the main issues is not always how your cool box will be powered, it is the capacity. How much food can you store in a cool box? Our buyers’ guide explains the capacity and how much food and drinks you can place in each size. Also, detailing the four different types of cool boxes available and if they are suitable for everyday family camping.

Many people do not consider the importance of a cool box. We all assume that any cool box will be okay. In reality, that is not the case. The handle, which can also help keep the lid in position when you need the box open, is super-strong and handy. As for the interior of the Hi-Gear, it isn’t partitioned – however, as a result it can easily be cleaned using water and a small piece of cloth without any fuss. The Vango is expensive, but it is worth the higher price for the additional extras. The lid has indents for holding 2L drink bottles in place. The base has 3 circular sections that support the bottom of a bottle providing extra height. However, not all fizzy drink bottles will fit into the circular sections. Electric coolers are miniature fridges. They actively cool your food rather than simply maintaining low temperature, and they keep food chilled for many days. I recently took the Mobicool MV30 on a weekend camping trip, and it turned out to be a lifesaver. The 29-litre volume allowed me to store plenty of food and drinks, including six 1.5-litre bottles standing upright.One of the key selling points of the Waeco caravan coolboxes range is that it has coolboxes for practically every budget. That's is not to say that the low-end coolers compromise on quality. Far from it. Budget Waeco caravan coolboxes offer a sturdy solution that is lightweight and portable.

If you are away for an extended time, consider using two cool boxes to keep food frozen for longer. It will provide you with the space to divide food and drink, which will help keep food frozen longer. They do not have to be thermoelectric; one can be a passive cool box.Our collections by our couriers are happening as usual. As it stands, delivery times are not being affected too much. Please be aware though that Royal Mail and other couriers are sometimes prioritising essential items so please bear with us if your delivery takes slightly longer than expected. Electric cool boxes should be sturdy and made of quality materials to withstand frequent use and transportation. Choose a cool box with robust and well-insulated construction, as this will not only ensure durability but also enhance the box’s cooling performance. Additional Features Compared with the Mobicool MV30, the Dometic BordBar TB 15 offers a compact and portable solution with its 15-litre capacity. While it has a smaller capacity than the MV30, the Dometic BordBar TB 15 compensates with its ability to cool up to 20°C below the ambient temperature and even heat up to +65°C. This versatile functionality makes it suitable for a wider range of applications.

Thermoelectric cool boxes will not freeze food. Food will gradually defrost. However, it can remain frozen for 3-4 days, depending on the following factors. Compared with the Mobicool MV30, the LEISURE DIRECT 32L offers a larger capacity of 32 litres, providing even more space for storing items. It shares a similar cooling performance, capable of cooling down up to 18°C below the ambient temperature. The LEISURE DIRECT 32L distinguishes itself by offering dual power options, allowing users to supply power either through a 220V outlet or a 12V vehicle cigarette lighter. This flexibility makes it suitable for various situations and settings. If you are camping for long periods in high temperatures, having an electrical cool box will help keep food and drinks cold. As well as prolong the length of time food will remain frozen. However, if you often camp without an electrical hook-up, an electrical cool box is not worth buying. One of the features I appreciate is its dual power options, allowing me to power it by a vehicle’s cigarette lighter or an indoor house plug. This flexibility is beneficial when you need to switch power sources or if you wish to use it both outdoors and indoors. At Halfords, we’ve got coolboxes and cool bags perfect for outdoor adventures. Our standard coolboxes use freezer boards to keep food and drink fresh. Imagine your own camping fridge, keeping drinks cold on a hot day, or storing your food safely before you cook up a storm. They aren’t the only cool box option though. Electric coolboxesOn average, the below ambient temperature for cool boxes is 18 °C. However, the IceQ states it is 20°C below ambient temperatures, which I have not noticed any difference. It does take a while to cool to a suitable temperature. So if you are travelling and not using the in-car charger power cable, it will take 2 – 4 hours to cool sufficiently. It also features two removable shelves inside so you have plenty of space for anything – from your favorite beer to a good old Cornish pasty! The Oypla 30L Electric Cool and Hot Picnic Box is a handy companion for outdoor excursions like picnics, festivals, or road trips. As someone who has experienced the convenience of having cold drinks and warm food on the go, I can vouch for its performance. Absorption cool boxes Similar in size and design to compressor cool boxes, but you can also power these with gas.

It’s a great option for a mini-break or an afternoon retreat as it is small enough to be easily carried using the ergonomic handle on top. However, it’s probably more of a fridge than a coolbox to take picnicing – just bear this in mind!
