Overview

A thermoelectric cooling module chills this Frigidaire retro cooler, which runs from a wall outlet or a car adapter cord. One small door with a viewing window and locking latch opens onto a removable shelf, and a carry handle makes it simple to move.

Dual power cords let it go from a bedroom shelf to a road trip without extra parts. Capacity is small, and how cold it gets is never stated, so treat it as a drink and snack chiller, not a food fridge.

Who it's for

Dorm rooms, desks and long drives suit this small cooler, since it plugs into a wall or a car socket. People who need real food storage or a freezer section should look at a full compact refrigerator.

Performance notes

Cooling comes from a thermoelectric module, and the listing stresses quiet running. Results depend on the temperature of the room or car around it and on how often the door is opened. The window lets you check contents without letting cold air out.
