Product Information

This Halfords stalwart appears unchanged and, at 24 litres, is nicely placed between its family-sized 40 box and the 14-litre options, also tested here. It’s a well made product with a solid lid and good spring-loaded handle, plus there’s a flip-up rear lid for cable storage. You can only run this on a 12v charge, it doesn’t come with UK plug or USB fitting but this is still great for a car, van or campervan trip This is an 8L capacity electric cool box by Mobicool, unlike the cool bag which we have also reviewed, this cool box seems to actually keep the food and drink inside it cold. It is of a sturdy and well built build and has been made specifically for travelling in your car. Could this be the best electric car fridge and cool box available?

The fan and motor can make a little noise when in the car, if you have windows open or music on, you probably won’t notice itWe are really impressed with this option, big enough for mot day/multi-day trips in a car and if you’re car is really big you can fit it to your side next to your feet at the front foot well. We hadn’t even thought about using it for medicine or anything other than food and drink you might like to have as luxuries for a camping trip, we can see how practical an electric 12v plug-in fridge for your car could be. If you have a medical requirement to cool medicine, make sure to test in your own home first as some of the ambient coolers only cool down relative to the outside temperature and won’t always hit a fixed target of say 8celcius, if it’s 20c in your car and it cools down by 15c then you can expect anything around or just above 5c.

Another nice feature from this electric cool box is the partition shelf which you can fit in a number of different ways to organise your food and stop it from all getting mixed up or items falling over, especially if they have liquids in them. It has dimensions of 40 x 24.1 x 40.5cm and weighs 3.1kg empty, after adding a couple of bottles and some food we were still able to comfortable move the cool box around and could carry it up to distances of a few hundred yards without problems. If you are older, this may be heavy for you and we recommend a trolley for moving it. The Mobicool 12v and USB Electric Cool Box keeps your food and drink chilled to 18c below ambient temperature outside. The only other which beats this on temperature is the Mobicool U8 8L and that is probably only because it is so small, we think that being 2c off with such a large internal space is a great achievement by this electric cool box. From the minute we used the well weighted, spring-loaded top release, it was clear this was a high-quality product. The downside was the heavy weight – 10kg – but it featured twin side handles and wheels to help cope. When unplugged it stays cold for hours, helped by getting colder whilst plugged in and its small sizeOnce we had it plugged in, it took around 30-45minutes to feel fully cool, or feel as cold as it would get. This was roughly the same for both AC and DC power supply in your home and in your car. This box comes with box the 3 pin UK plug and the 12v car cigarette lighter/USB for car use. These are stored in the top of the box and are hidden away which is great if you are taking the box outside whilst camping and it wont be used or plugged in for a few hours.
