What to look for in an electric cooler box

Below are a few points that you should definitely pay attention to when buying an electric cooler:

Weight: Remember that the heavy contents go in later. Compare the weight specifications of different electric coolers.
Easy cleaning: Spilled something? Make sure that cleaning is possible without any problems.
Insulation: To avoid stains and trouble, the cooler should seal all around.
Cable storage: Better to have potato salad than a tangled mess of cables; make sure that enough space has been planned.
Ice packs: Essential so that the cooler gets up to "speed" quickly; consider the right size when buying.Ice packs are best ordered at the same time.
Connection for car and socket: Pay attention to the scope of delivery; getting additional adapters costs time and money.
Price: Good coolers are available for around €50, e.g. this one Electric cooler box.
Height of the cooler: 1.5-liter bottles should fit inside standing up, even when the box is closed. A 1.5 l PET bottle is approx. 36 cm high.

Here is an overview of coolers on Amazon.
