Coolers - Fridges - Cold-boxes - Ice Boxes - Cool-bags - what's the difference? • Traditional cooler bags or cool / ice boxes are 'passive', so you put cold food and drink and ice packs into them and the cool-bag's insulation keeps the content cool for a while by slowing down the heat (cold!) transfer. In practice nothing is 'kept' cold but slowly and progressively heats up from very cold to just cool and then eventually to room temperature. The cheapest cool bags allow this in just a hour or so while the best, often called ice boxes, might keep ice frozen for 5 days or more. Even those impressive performers allow some warming, the ice from a deep freeze starts at -18C but is still 'frozen' days later at just -1C. • Active cooler boxes use 12/24/230v electricity to keep items cool for much longer. In practice a budget cool box will keep its internal temperature some 16-20C or so below the outside temperature, some a little more. Plainly performance in the higher 20-30C below ambient range costs a bit more so you'll need to assess your own needs based on how hot it will be outside the box and how cool you want the stuff inside to be. Bearing in mind that summers reach well up into the mid/high 30s these days it often pays to pay a bit more if you don't want warm beer and sour milk! (Temperatures inside cars go even higher of course).
Indel B Mobile Fridges & Freezers:
12v, some also use 230v but others can use 230/12v adapters for
mains use. Hover your mouse over any picture to see a
description. Indel B, founded in 1967 to produce direct current portable / mobile high performance refrigerators. Globally known, its continuous investment in R&D, understanding customer needs, compliance with the highest quality standards led to adoption by great HGV manufacturers, like Scania, Iveco, Renault, Volvo, choose Indel B as their sole supplier for in-cab refrigerators not least due to their use of Secop's renowned refrigeration compressors (Secop formerly Danfoss).
Indel Travel Box Fridges:
NB: Box units with freeze capability will usually freeze the whole compartment not just an ice box! Indel B Cruise Fridges: for motorhome build-in are found alongside the Dometic versions on our ... page.
Dometic-Waeco Coolers, 12v Chest Fridges & Freezers:
Some also use 230v but others can use 230/12v adapters for
mains use. High Performance Mobile Refrigeration from Dometic-Waeco: Dometic-Waeco's high efficiency compressor fridges for life on the move bring high spec cooling - from fridge temperatures right down to 3-star or 4-star freezer, all without caning your battery! Many are 12/24v DC and some 100-240v AC too. The RC1200 Combicool pictured right is a remarkable 3-way so runs on LPG too!

NB: Box units with freeze capability will usually freeze the whole compartment not just an ice box! What temperature should I choose for the freezer? A comparison with domestic freezer star ratings is useful here. * One star is -6C and is fine for making ice cubes and sufficiently cold to keep food for three or four days. ** Two stars is -12C and stores food for fifteen to twenty days. *** Three stars is -18C and will keep food safe for up to three months. **** Four stars is below -18C and means that the compartment provides the ideal conditions for freezing down fresh and pre-cooked foods. I'm told you need -24C for ice cream for sale. Slightly oddly a number of these portable units freeze to -15 so 2½ stars. Outwell Mobile Coolers, Fridges & Freezers: 12v, some also use 230v but others can use 230/12v adapters for mains use. Hover your mouse over any picture to see a description.

• True mobile fridges do rather better than that and
will usually hold their contents to a set temperature but again
performance is dependent on cost and in this case also on the type of
unit used. The ultra quiet units are absorption fridges and the portable
versions of these tend to be less able to cope with
extreme
temperatures. The more robust travel fridges are compressor type and
these will perform like your fridge at home holding temperatures at 4-5º
even on hot days.
There are upper limits for that however and leaving
one out in direct sunshine on your picnic will just not work out well!
Compressor fridges also take much less out of your battery typically 2A
or so instead of 8A upwards - but can't run on gas. You can even
get portable 12v/24v fridge-deep-freezers that will go down to the usual
domestic -18C (4-star freezer) but suitable for travel use - like the excellent
Outwell Deep Cool pictured above and the Dometic* Coolfreeze
fridge-freezers with their +10 to -18ºC thermostatically controlled
temperatures as described below. Note that box freezers are normally
fridge or freezer depending on setting, i.e. not with a
freezer compartment within the fridge. 
for use on boats, trucks and
buses as well as motorhomes and campervans. All utilise extremely quiet
compressor operation with low power consumption on 12v & 24v with 230v via
an adaptor; consumption is typically 15-20W average at fridge temperatures,
30-45W peak. Low voltage sensing protects
your vehicle from battery
damage. The tough Travel Box range are really quite exceptional. 
mains portable compressor
box freezer
/ refrigerator:
These are truly great mains electric but portable compressor products
capable of giving a full compartment deep freeze (-15ºC) from
220-240v power! Compressor cooling units have some
useful and unique characteristics compared with other 'normal' camping
fridges including low power consumption, this mains unit is convenient
in the home too when not away in your hooked-up camper, caravan or tent.
