My only big purchase of the season.  Electric Cool box from go outdoors an Outwell 24L.  Just switched on for a play to see how quiet it is.  Not too bad really.  Just need to rinse it out to eradicate that plasticy smell.   Read instructions  Cool it first, best to really chill food for the best effect, Before putting food in, for the coolbox to become really cold.

So is it still best to put frozen water ect for optimum usage?

Thank you for your replies folks.  I'm pleased that I have had feedback from personal experience of this product.  Thanks for the tips Richard, espeacially with the bubble wrap great idea. 

Do you chill your foods by just putting in the fridge or into freezer but only to really chill the food rather than freeze.  Sorry if it sounds daft.

Mantrachant, thats where I bought my coolbox from Go Outdoors in Stockport, they had them at a reduced price.  I thought it would be a good investment. I had a look at the Aldi one, but I did like the additional features of the Outwell.

Sheffgrow, I did toy with the idea of a mini fridge, but I had to think of the practicalities. The coolbox suit my needs the best, because of space and also I can run it on the car battery en route to campsite ect.

Thanks again.

Hi a quick question, did you remove the white polystyrene stuff in the lid, where the fan is, you can see it if you look through the holes?

I phoned go outdoors and they say yes, but I cant see how you can open the bit with the fan in

?

Oooaaa, I did'nt notice any polystyren, it seemed fine. It ran very quietly.  My sister said everything was still cold. I used bubble wrap. chilled food before going into the coolbox.  When I use it again I will test it for it's temprature.  But I have mislaid the instrunction. Doooh.

I shall go and check the lid.
