Got one exactly the same back in 1995 and used it for a fridge in many over the road trucks that cooler has over a million miles on it , the wiring needs a little attention, so I thought I would see what else might be available on the great web, I was so happy to see that this model was still on the Market it was a complete no brainer, I just had to have another and it is just great.

FULL cooler = COLD items!Mostly EMPTY cooler = items not nearly as cold!Use it wisely and be super happy with it! (See below)This is a pretty handy little plug-in cooler. I was reluctant to buy it because of some comments that it doesn't get very cold, but there were enough positive reviews that I decided to take a chance. I'm glad I did.How cold the cooler will keep your stuff depends on how much you have in it and what you have in it. Firstly, make sure stuff is cold when you put it in. This is not a heavy duty fridge like you have in your kitchen ... nor is the price. So if you use it as intended, you will be happy.Secondly, how much you put in it will affect performance. If you only have a handful of things in it, it has a hard time maintaining a colder temp. So if you need to only refrigerate a few things ... easy solution ... put a gallon jug of COLD water in it along with the stuff you need to keep cold and it will maintain a colder temp much more easily. When I have lots of solid mass stuff in it like cans of soda, everything in it is super cold. When I have stuff like pasta (airy) & cold cuts and cheese and lots of free space, it has a harder time keeping the temp down in the exact same environment.Bottomline .... it's a great product for what it is & how it's intended to be used. If you use it "smart", following notations by the manufacturer, it won't disappoint. If you expect it to do something it's not designed to do (keep things cool while mostly empty inside) you WILL be disappointed ... it's not designed to work well like that ... put a COLD gallon jug of water in it to solve this issue, or a couple of COLD 2L bottles of pop. But keep it fuller as the emptier it gets the warmer your stuff will be.UPDATE (02/18/2014)As people said in reviews I read before I bought the product, the power supply unit gets quite hot, very hot sometimes, just sitting in the open. Well, one night a towel fell on it and thankfully it didn't start on fire, but the power supply unit did melt and died. So I bought an after market one which works just fine. So the power supply unit that comes with it, at least when I bought it, is dangerous because of how hot it gets, BUT the cooler is great. So just get an after market power supply and problem solved. :O)

This cooler only worked for two days before the compressor completely gave out. I ignored the warnings in other reviews and ordered it with one day shipping before a long (3500+ mile) road trip, but it failed before our trip even started. We brought it along anyway, because it was small enough to fit in the back seat. It still managed to keep things cool with a nightly refill of ice, but for the high price I expected the electronics to last more than two days.I suspect that the failures are caused by a design flaw: the compressor and associated electronics are built into the cooler lid, which can be oriented horizontally or vertically. Most refrigerator compressors are designed to run in a very specific orientation; the coolant and oil systems don't circulate fluids properly unless the compressor is upright. Even if this isn't the problem, the compressor may be taking damage every time you open and close the lid, particularly if you use it like a normal cooler with the door on top. If you decide to buy one of these, be certain to close the lid very gently, and to leave adequate room for ventilation around the air intake fan.That said, don't buy one. You will likely regret it.
