Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
Koolatron specializes in portable 12-volt devices, such as coolers, freezers, or microwaves, that plug into a car's cigarette lighter or other 12-volt source. With the Koolatron 110-volt adapter, you can use these same devices wherever you have access to a 110-volt outlet. Now your camping fan can double as a hotel fan when on the road, or your portable cooler can keep things from heating up once you reach your in-laws' house. The adapter works for any 12-volt accessory rated 5 amps or less, including any of Koolatron's coolers, massagers, or fans. The unit features lightweight, solid-state construction with overload and overcharge protection. --Rivers Janssen

Good Idea, But Undersized And Underpowered.1
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.

Works Fine5
We have used this adapter with our portable refrigerator 24/7 since receiving it. It works fine and appears not to get to hot.

This thing is a piece of crap1
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!
