Title: OK -- if you add ice.
Product review: Construction seems to be good. Latch and door work well. They advertise that it will maintain an internal temperature of 40-45 degrees below the ambient temperature. Regarding the one I received, that's not even close. I just returned from a 3-week-long "field test" -- a trip to visit friends in AZ and NM during early spring (high temps from 50-85). The ambient temps in my van ranged from 40 to 80, and the Koolatron didn't come close to maintaining a temperature 40 degrees cooler inside. I initially loaded the cooler with chilled items from my refrigerator, and after the first 2-3 days, the sodas and milk were not chilled. I nearly depleted a battery charge trying to keep things cool when I wasn't driving.I'm not pleased and would not recommend it to anyone for cooling. I haven't tried the heating function, since that's not why I bought a cooler. I plan to return it.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
