It’s capable of keeping your food and drinks up to 18 degrees below ambient temperature.
Cooling is by the thermoelectric effect and again is a little limited. It will get you to around 10°C in our experience on a standard UK spring day (i.e. not too hot outside). Vonshef actually suggest 12°C as the minimum temperature which is way off from where we would prefer to be – around 5-6°C. Still, it can definitely chill and is great for cooling drinks in this respect, when you don’t have to be completely ice cold. The thing with the compressor is that it cycles on and off only when needed, the lads have a 30Ltr ? Thermo electric one for their tinnies and when run side by side at high ambient temps the Thermo runs constantly for hours at an end, sometimes all day, till the early hour of the morning, unlike the compressor cycling on and off.At Halfords, we’ve got coolboxes and cool bags perfect for outdoor adventures.

For the 45 litre, the main attributes are:The cheapest cool box in our recommendation is the HI-GEAR 20L Cooler. It is another 12V only system which can cool food and drinks to around the 10°C mark. For the money, it’s excellent value and has a few extra little design touches we like.
