HI,

Does anybody have any more info on the coolboxes that aldi are selling tomorrow?

http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/2827_10056.htm

Are they any good?  What temperature do they cool down to?

Thanks in advance!

We recently bought a 12v/230v coolbox which is similar, although not sure if the Aldi one can be converted to mains, and it cools to approx 20 degrees below ambient. Think this is pretty much standard for this type of box if that's any help?

Hi Mudmonster,bought one very similar from Aldi a couple of years ago,and i must say i have had no problems at all.I only use mine for keeping the beers cool,but it is running all summer.The one i got is mains or 12v.    Well worth the money.

This year's model is different to older ones. I've had one two years and it is great, but it is 12v or 230v and the leads came with it - this years seems to be 12v only so you would need to get a separate adaptor if you want to use it on mains - these cost about £18 from Halfords.

Bought one this morning. Have it plugged in at home (yes, it runs on both 9v and 240v) to run a test. By all accounts on here they are good value.

Yup I got one too, plugged it in for an hour and it was well cold.

Really chuffed as I wasn't going to buy one as thought they were only 12v, but snaffled one up as soon I saw they had both!

  I love my Aldi coolbox, I won't tell you how much I got it for, it was that much of a bargain!!!! Oh ok, it was £10 from ebay with £8 p&p at the end of last year from a seller who seemed to sell pallet loads of left over Aldi products, not sure if some were returns, but my coolbox has been absolutely brill, even partly freezing some stuff it was that cold (the coolbox) at Easter.

  I'm sure non of you will be disappointed

  Best wishes Sam
