Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I just returned from a 3 week trip across the U.S. For this purpose, I purchased this cooler (have not used it as a warmer) for around 90 dollars. I plugged the cooler to the cigarette lighter port behind the driver/passenger armrest/storage unit. In this manner, I can place it behind the passenger seat. This accomplished 2 main things: One, I can reach/open the cooler to get goodies. This is sometimes challenging because the cooler is rather deep. But not bad at all for tall items, such as soda bottles. Second, the instructions suggest you turn off the unit when the car is turned off to prevent electrical surge upon turning the car on again. January 2018: I've use this cooler for 3 nationwide trips and plan to use it for my March 2018 trip again. Still love it. This is a generously spacious cooler. Because of this, I had to place my car's passenger seat forward and its backrest almost straight up. This allowed for the cooler to fit, for me to open the lid and to swivel the very well built carrying handle out of the way. I don't have any major complaints with the function, design, weight and space with this cooler. In fact, I experienced the illusion that when carrying this cooler, it felt lighter than the items being carried in it (?????). Opening the lid feels a little tricky, but I guess I got used to it. My only re-design wish would be the on/off toggle switch be changed to a push switch. Remember this type of coolers do not have Freon and function as a heat exchanger. For this reason the specs read like: cools to 40 degrees under the surrounding temperature. If its working in an air-conditioned car, the contents will be rather cold. If you're driving with the windows open in 95 degree weather, it will be much less so. Finally, the unit comes with a spare fuse which I hope it is available in a local hardware store.
