 Good Idea, But Undersized And Underpowered. Jul 11, 2007
By R. Stevens
Bought this adapter to work with the Koolatron P-20 cooler (/warmer), but unfortunately after 30 minutes of cooling indoors it began to emit a burned resistor smell. And when I picked it up, it was very hot to the touch. Not good signs, from my experience.
Comparing it to my AC-to-DC adapter from Igloo, it's much lighter and seems to be under-designed. You can't fool Mother Nature--increased weight usually means greater power handling capacity. In this case it just isn't there. Overheating isn't what I bought it for, either. In contrast, the Igloo adapter works endlessly with getting overly hot or giving off a smell. It weighs almost twice as much, too, which seems to be related.
Save your time and money and get something more capable. You'll be glad you did. Amazon has been breathtakingly cooperative in this matter, by the way, at least so far. Free return shipping and emailed labels are the way it should be done.

 Half the Cost for Same Product Oct 03, 2009
By Thomas O'Keefe
I purchased a Koolatron cooler and noted that the manual stated that non-Koolatron AC/DC adaptors should not be used and would void the warranty. Rather than take the chance with my old adaptor from a different brand electric cooler, I decided to order a new one. Koolatron offers its adaptor at its web site and I just about ordered it, but then compared Amazon's offering. The identical adaptor at Amazon is half the price of the one through Koolatron. I've used it a number of times and it works fine. It also has about twice the wattage capability of my old adaptor. One caution: the cooler cools or heats depending on how the adaptor or DC plug is connected to the cooler cord. Tell everyone who might use the cooler about this. I failed to tell my wife, and she thought she was cooling a load of food, when, in fact, she was heating it. Big mess.

This thing is a piece of crap Jul 19, 2008
By Audri Schultz
I just got this in the mail on Thursday. Today is Friday and I used it for the first time 4 hours ago and it, literally, melted. Now I'm in a hotel room with 3 kids and no cooler. We're cooling the items that were in the Koolatron in a trash can with ice. BEWARE!

Koolatron May 02, 2009
By Margaret B. Craig
We do a lot of travel staying at many hotels/motels. Some have refrigerators,and some not. Sometimes they charge $10 to $25/day! To cut costs on meals, we like to take our own and need a cooling device. The Koolatron is excellent and cools as we travel with the cigar lighter plug. It also has a heating option which we have not used, but with potluck meals at church, I'm sure that will come in handy as well.

Works Fine Nov 03, 2006
By Carl Plowman
We have used this adapter with our portable refrigerator 24/7 since receiving it. It works fine and appears not to get to hot.
