Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had one of these before, and it lasted over 8 years and well over 40 football tailgate sessions and 3 trips across country before giving it up. To those who have it burn out too soon, it is extremely important to allow plenty of room for air flow around the fans (inside and outside). DO NOT PUT ICE IN IT! Water will cause it to ice up faster and, if it gets in the fan, you will kill the motor. If you want to supplement the cooling, use Imitation Ice packets. Leave room for air to circulate around the fans. If the outside fan gets blocked, the heat exchanger will burn out in short order. If the inside fan gets blocked, it will not be able to cool efficiently and may ice up easier. These are nice coolers and will last you a long time as long as you take care of them.
