Oypla 30L 240V AC & 12V DC Coolbox Hot Cold Portable Electric Summer Cool Picnic Box

Product Information

Powering the Oypla cool box is never an issue, as it can be used with both mains power and a 12V DC vehicle cigarette lighter, making it ideal for car trips or camping adventures. However, I found that the power cord does come loose quite easily, so it may need frequent re-attaching, especially when moving around. Portability is made easier with the inclusion of wheels and folding handles. However, the size may be a concern for some, as it may not fit smaller vehicles or cramped spaces. Additionally, I have experienced some minor issues with the durability of the wheels and hinges. Electric cool boxes should be sturdy and made of quality materials to withstand frequent use and transportation. Choose a cool box with robust and well-insulated construction, as this will not only ensure durability but also enhance the box’s cooling performance. Additional Features

Some electric cool boxes excel in energy efficiency, while others prioritise easy portability. Capacity is another crucial aspect to look into, as various sizes cater to different needs.Purpose and destination: What do you want to use your coolbox for?

If you’re heading away for a longer journey, perhaps for anything from a few days to a few weeks, then these devices are perfect for you - and larger capacity electric coolboxes are better suited to longer trips. Cleaning the cool box was hassle-free. The wipe-clean exterior and interior saved me time, allowing me to focus on enjoying my camping experience. Keep in mind that if the box is filled to capacity, it may struggle to maintain optimal cooling. However, this was not a problem for me, as I managed the contents well and didn’t overfill it. The multifunctional 3-in-1 power supply was a lifesaver. I used the 12V DC adaptor for long car journeys and the USB power lead during our garden party. The 22-litre capacity allowed me to store enough food and drinks for my family without any issue.

Not only do you get the capacity to store 56 standard 330ml cans and various handy ways to generate cooling power, but the box also boasts a temperature control dial that you can use when it’s connected to the mains.
