Thinking about doing away with the conventional ice chests and going with a convenient no fuss electric cooler? There're many advantages to using an electrical 12V cooler. Without the ice, you can put more items into the body of the cooler, allowing you to pack more along when you go to the lake or the park.

You also do not have to worry about soggy hot dog buns either as there's no ice to melt. Of course, for this type of convenience, you have a trade off because you require electricity to keep you picnic items cool and electric heaters will be much more expensive than an ice chest of the same size and volume.

A 12V car cooler is specifically designed to use your cars electrical system, accessed through the cigarette lighter port. There're dual mode coolers which could heat as well as cool, along with hybrid 12V/110AC coolers, like the DownUnder DT21 Thermoelectric Icebox Cooler will run off of wall socket AC power.

What model you need is determined by what your requirements are as they come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The DownUnder DT21 is rated to 63 degrees under the ambient temp, and therefore can operate as a small refrigerator while the Engel MD14F Fridge/Freezer could be adjusted to cool or even freeze the items you put into it.

The colder the unit gets, the higher the price. The three factors to determining you needs are time, distance & refrigeration requirements. Such as, if you are on a very long road trip, and desire to save money by shopping for groceries instead of eating at roadside restaurants, then a larger size fridge could be the way to go for you.

If you are only taking some drinks to your kid's soccer games, then a smaller 12V portable cooler will be the best. Hunters, or someone bringing seafood back from a coastal trip, might invest in a little freezer to keep their supplies frozen for long hauls. If you require something to keep cool things cool and to keep hot things hot, you will need to look at the dual mode cooler/heater models.

Sizes are usually rated by quart, liter and by how many 12oz cans the cooler will hold. Obviously, if you just have to keep some cans of soda cold, you could go as small as Koolatron D13 soft-sided 12V cooler made with a shoulder strap, which will hold a modest 14 qts, about 20 12oz cans, but if you need a 12V portable cooler for catering, then you might consider the Engel SB70 Fridge/Freezer at 60 quart capacity.

The shapes and designs of those coolers differ also, as some are narrow to fit between seats; others have their electronics in the lid so that they can be tightly packed in with your other gear. Among the things that you must remember is that the ambient air temperature will decide the effectiveness of your cooler. Leaving it in your vehicle on a scorching July afternoon is gonna limit the coolers abilities.
