Newair has the perfect, “cool” combo here with the Newair 48 qt portable electric cooler and the 100W solar panel with 173W rechargeable battery. This combination will allow you to keep food frozen and beverages chilled in almost any environment – from the backyard to camping to being on-the-go in your vehicle. These Newair products are a win-win!
While I did have to read the manual to fully understand the control panel and the appropriate settings based on the type of power I would be using (plugged into the wall, using a car plug, or using battery + solar), once I figured out how to set the temperature, I realized how great this electric cooler was for around the home, the backyard, or away from home in general. While the cooler is a bit heavy to be fully portable, two people can move a full cooler easily, and the rugged wheels and extending handle make it easy to move around. The operation is fairly quiet and LG compressor only turns on when the dual-zone-monitored temperature rises above the set temp. Running just the battery last many hours (of course this depends on the outside environment) but in my tests, beverages have remained quite cool based on the set temperature. Overall, the combination of Newair electric cooler plus the solar panels and detachable battery make this a perfect combo (and, NO MORE ICE)!
