Subject:      Re: magic coolers

I bought one--but returned it a few days later--having decided to stick with my cooler. It can only get the interior to 40 degrees (F) below "outside temp". So in the sumnmer, when it is ~100+ in the parked Vanagon, it would be ~60+ and that's not cool enough to keep the food. Plus it would be running all the time.

I thought--well, it could run all night, get the interior cold, then I could cover it with a blanket, etc, etc.

In the end, I decided that buying ice every three days was the way to go--still.

If others have used them and like them, I'd like to hear how they do it.
