We bought one a few weeks ago and it was perfect for 2 for a weekend over half term. Very pleased with it

Do you need to buy a separate transformer? Do they sell them in Woolies? Is there a specific one you need to buy? I'm useless with anything electrically technical!

I looked at the Woolies cool boxes as I needed a new one.  I thought they were expensive given that you needed to buy the mains adaptor as well.  Then I found a bargain in Argos last week  - a mini fridge at half price (down to £24.99) that works on mains or car/12v and has both cables with it.  We tried it out and within an hour and a half the temp was down to under 5C - much more efficient than a coolbox.  Another plus is that its really quiet. 

Downside is it's not as spacious, but I managed to get a 4 pint/2 litre milk carton, 500g butter, 6 pack of yoghurts, sausages, and tomatoes in it and still had a wee bit of room to spare.

Hi

I just looked at the Argos one - is it called a 'wavy fridge'!!!!!!!?

It sounds like a good bargain?!

Let me know and i'll trot off down to Argos and get one before they run out!

Thanks

Sam

Yes Sam, that's the one - it's great.  As I say, it's not got a huge capacity but I found it much more efficient at chilling than a coolbox. 

We're off to York this weekend and the weather forecast looks good, so we'll give it a thorough testing out then

Bought one from woolies but returned it as I found it a little too noisy. Also the lighter lead was only about a metre long to short to stick in the carboot although maplins do extensions if required.

I've just got a campingaz activ' travel cool box from Attwoolls for £44 inc transformer.  I'm not sure how big the Woolies one is this is 24l.  We wanted a compact one to fit in the footwell.
