What Cracks?
I am happy with this cooler so far. I had a 40 Qt. Coleman thermoelectric cooler and I like the size of this one better because I can put it on the floor board passenger side or the back seat. The other one was too big. I am going to debunk a few reviews I read. The thermoelectric coolers are not designed to keep your food and drinks ice cold like a refrigerator. So for those of you who are disappointed, do like I do and use frozen ice packs. They do not melt as fast as in the thermoelectric cooler and keep things colder. The cracks that one review mentioned in the lid are natural seams in the plastic. The seams open slightly when the lid is open and close when the lid is closed. That is normal. It's not a design flaw! I also read one review that mentioned the plug was getting too hot and melting. I am sure that was a defective plug. I checked mine after running for 8 hours and it is just warm to the touch. I will keep monitoring it to see if that changes or if any "cracks" start to form.
