[QUOTE="Snowbird Tom, post: 457715, member: 24869"] Comparison of Coleman electric cooler vs IceCo JP 50 compressor refrigerator. :) Since I have and used both. Coleman will get down to 42-44* if outside temp is 70* and it's kept in the shade. The advertised 40* drop vs exterior temperature is optomistic. Also, it's designed to be used standing on end as you can see by the shelf included in the picture. Cold air falls out immediately on opening, so I never used the shelf and kept it set up like a cooler. Coleman will run on 12v with the wired on cord and 110v with power converter. It loses cold quick if disconnected. I used mine in a tent several times at campsites with power and in a Starcraft popup that had an icebox. It was just ok. Cost was ~$100 and another ~$40 for the converter. JP50 fridge will freeze meat solid if put in the bottom of the box. There's a place to put soda pop or your favorite beverage above the food basket in the picture. It'll handle a 12 pack if you drink two as you're filling it. Max cool in the middle of the box is 32*. Eggs, lunch meat and veggies were stashed on top. I kept enough food and colas for several days on the road in it and never worried. Unplugged, it will hold temp for a few hours and slowly start to warm. It's wired for 12v and 110v with the included power cords. Longest use was a two month east coast tour from Michigan to Maine to Florida and on to Houston before coming home. Cost was ~$400 then. I see they're up to $550 now. Ouch! Rocky got excited when he saw the coolers. Figured we were going camping! 😁 Hope that helps in your decision making. Any questions, just ask! I'll try to answer competently. Oops! Just a thought - weight. Coleman is ultralight. I can carry it one handed empty. IceCo is a two hander and significantly more weight due to the compressor and insulation. I can barely carry it filled from house to car, so I put it into the car, then fill it.
