An Easicool won't 'cool' as such, but it will keep cold things cold!  Before you use an Easicool for the first time each season, or when it's not been used for a while, sock it in a bath of cold water to make sure the 'core' is wet - it won't work at all if the core isn't wet through.  Never put anything into it that isn't cold, and they work better in the sun (make sure you keep the water topped up).

My parents had an Easicool instead of a fridge for years - they took the cold food camping in a cool-box with freezer blocks.  Once the Easicool was set up, they transfered the cold food and the freezer blocks to it - the blocks cooled the inside of the Easicool quickly.  Once cold, it stayed cold.  And an Easicool with never cool beer, wine or fizzy drinks - stick them in the fire bucket instead!

Thank you so much Scampi (oh darn it, my smileys aren't working!). 

There was nothing in the instructions about soaking it in a bath of water. I just put the water in the tray, put refrigerated milk inside it & expected it to keep the milk cool - it didn't!  I'll get the Easicool out again now & try it again after it's had a bath  :-) hehe!

I have one! in original box with original repair it too. we intend to use this camping this year as we have decided to ditch the EHU.

fingers crossed it does the trick but from what I can remember it kept things quite cold.
