Has no Thermostat but Works Great
This tiny cooler is perfect for refrigerated medicine. It's quiet and cools down to 40 degrees F and holds it there when the house is about 70 to 60 F day and night. Online claims of 40 degrees below ambient are exaggerated. I was worried it would freeze the meds but it doesn't. The cooling temperature is not adjustable. I put my kitchen refrigerator-thermometer in and it shows steady at 40 F, day and night. You could theoretically put 6 cans of Coke in there but it would be tight. I'd add a tab of duct tape to one of them because you'd struggle to get the first can out. The Fridge is lightweight plastic. I added 4 rubber stick-on feet so it wouldn't slide around when I use it. The magnet on the door is strong and well aligned. However, the very cute little silver "door handle" is thin plastic that will surely break off in a short time. I stuck on a removable 3M "Commander" plastic wall hook to use as the handle. It's almost invisible and preserves the decorative silver handle. The Fridge comes with a 12V cord for a car's "cigarette lighter" -- I haven't seen a socket for a cigarette lighter in over a decade. It also comes with a 110 volt AC cord and a USB cord that takes 2 amps (use a 2A phone charger, not a computer for that power source). The small inner divider tray in the fridge is removable but very convenient. Have not tried running the unit in warming mode--that just runs the system backwards, turning it from a cooler to a warmer. No reason to think that wouldn't work. The only downside is that the box adds yet more non-recyclable plastic to the world, and it comes packed in two big blocks of non-recyclable, imperishable Styrofoam. Otherwise, this product is perfectly functional, totally silly, and a delight for that. Read more
