Koolatron P95 Travel Saver Cooler 45-Quart, Light Grey

Product Description

The koolatron P-95 Travel Saver is a thermoelectric portable cooler with a 45-quart capacity and a unique "domed" lid that provides maximum space for larger bottles. This unit provides convenient cold storage for long road trips, ridding the need of taking costly stops along the way.

Plug the cooler into your car with the included 12-volt cord, load it with snacks and refreshments and you'll be good to go! koolatron portable coolers utilize thermoelectric cooling technology, which uses no compressor nor CFCs. A long-lasting brushless motor drives an internal air circulation system which keeps the temperature nice and even.

To maximize its versatility and utility, not only can this unit be used to keep your perishable groceries market fresh while shopping, the power supply can also be inverted to provide a heater for coffees, hot cocoa or take-out food.

Two different reviews on this purchase. First the product itself, great unit, works well in the car and with an optional converter works great on 110v. Keeps items extremely cold in the hotel rooms and very cold on 12v. Used ours on a 2 week trip to Florida. Very happy with this product although definately overpriced. I had one a few years back, virtually identical and about a third the price.

Sedond review was the way the item was shipped. The seller sent it exactly as the manufacturer packages it, simply in a cardboard box. It arrived with a small 1" x 1" dent in one corner. Upon inspection the plactic corner of the unit was cracked and broken, extremely brittle plastic! The manufacturer should have this unit encased in a styrofoam packing at the very least! The seller promptly sent me a replacement unit and it arrived safely and without damage. The seller was pleasant and would buy from them again, I'd give the manufacturer a 1 star for packing procedures!

We are professional drivers, on the road a month at a time. Keeping food essentials cool is a must. We tried the other brand who also makes camping gear and it failed within the first two weeks, later on we found this to be fairly normal. The Koolatron was actually our second choice due to the price but you get what you pay for. It has performed perfectly! When power from the truck batteries runs low the unit shuts itself off and still keeps things cool.

Very happy! Thanks for making a quality product.

I was looking for a fridge/cooler for me when I travel and camp. I typically go for 2-7 night stays camping in very remote places. In the summer, ice does not last and its a pain. My review on this product has some mixed feelings about it.

Here are the pros:
Price, its pretty affordable for what you get.
Size, has plenty of room to stock for a 2-3 overnight trip.
Coldness, I keep cheese, milk, meat and many other items in this cooler and it stays cool without a problem.
Drain on battery, in keeping food cold you can expect it to have a fairly heavy draw of amps to your battery. I use a deep cell so it lasts much longer. I also use a solar panel that is rated for 15 amps charging. So this lasts me the entire 3 days of camping without having to charge my battery.
Weight, its fairly light weight.
Storage, there is plenty of room. After purchasing I found the company made one size larger and only charged $20 additional for it. I would have purchased it knowing. This one is rated for 72 12oz beverages. The bigger one holds 78. Not much difference, but it would make the difference to me of one extra nights stay.

Here is my negative report on the product:
There is no thermostat. So the unit runs non stop on electric or battery. Which means if you are on battery, it will continue to run and use amps, draining your battery. While on 110, it continues to run as well.

Insullation could be just a little bit better. This way the unit would stay colder, keeping food colder.

Report on company that sold it:
Pros; they shipped me the product in original package. No problems. Product was just as stated and worked fine.

Cons; be careful about shipping and understand it clearly. When they say usually ships within 2 business days, means you might not get the product for 2 weeks. I purchased it on a Sat night. They shipped it at the last pick up time from them on Tuesday night. So the product sat all night Tuesday and did not get shipped until Wed. The standard shipping took 10 days. So all together 10 days + 2 business days + 1 day wasted, I did not get the product in enough time for my trip I had planned. I also was a amazon prime, free 2 day shipping. Out of all the products I purchased this last year from Amazon, only 3 were prime and shipped for free. I must have purchased over 20 different items.

Overall I am really happy I purchased it. In looking at other units that are the same size, they range from $200-$1200 depending on what you get. I cant imagine adding a thermostat and some thicker insulation would cost much more to the company. I would buy another one if they made it with these additional features. Its a good product, works for me, just has a fairly heavy draw on DC power. I only run it on AC when cooling it 24 hours before a trip. This helps tremendously as the unit is empty and cooling prior to the trip. Instead of playing catch up with cold food and a warm cooler. I would highly recommend purchasing the AC that runs this unit.

Good luck!

I ordered this unit from Koolatron, via Amazon....it is a factory re-conditioned unit, and appeared flawless coming out of the box.

I SPECIFICALLY ordered this for my mother, who lives in an assisted-living apt. that has a TINY 'fridge in Kitchenette. SO, Koolatron to the rescue! She has this set-up in another room, so her kitchenette isn't crowded, and it provides her w/ much needed extra 'fridge capacity. SO FAR, it's been a month and NO PROBLEMS w/ unit....obviously, it's hooked-up to AC converter/adaptor, 24/7.
My mother couldn't be more pleased with this addition to her apartment!!
Thanks to Koolatron!

We received the Koolatron in a timely manner in good condition. It has proved to be more than worth it's cost. We are in the middle of an extended trip, using it as our refrigerator in car and hotel/motel/cabins. It is working flawlessly. Quiet, smooth operating over many continuous hours using the AC converter to plug in 110 outlets when not in the car. You can't get a better deal in our experience.
