12V Portable Car Fridge

A compressor cooler that plugs into a car socket (and mains at the hotel) and holds a set temperature — not just "cooler than outside" like an ice chest.

• 12 V
• Compressor

Why you’d want it: For road trips longer than ice packs last. It's the difference between planning around your cooler and forgetting about it.

Picking tip: Look for a compressor model with a digital setpoint — thermoelectric coolers only manage a fixed offset from the outside temperature.
