I want one so that I can save money while on vacation- you can buy food at a grocery store and keep it in the cooler in your hotel room (if the room doesn’t have a refrigerator). Not for all the meals, of course, as food is a part of the fun of vacationing- but enough to make a huge difference in the vacation budget.

I bought a small cooler like that for my car a couple years ago when I was making regular 6-7 hour road trips. It is large enough to fit lunch and drinks for two people. I love it and use it on every road trip over 3 hours or so. I never bought a wall converter though, because I’ve never needed it.

That thing looks awesome! My Uncle had built in a cooler in his van and had put installation around the outer edges and you could put a little lid on top. We tried to see how long the ice could last and it lasted up to about 10 days! So, if anyone wants to get even cheaper and has a van, try that little technique

We got ours at Target on sale for $12, but I also saw them at REI as well.

I’m actually more interested in the adapter. I have a electric air pump that plugs into the cigarette lighter in the car, and I can’t find an adapter so I can plug it in the house. I’m getting tired of hauling my ab ball out to the car to air it up.

Its about the size of a regular cooler that you buy anywhere – its not really that big. It’s big enough to bring food for days though!

How big is that thing? It looks like a full sized fridge!
