Pros

Spacious but compact
Cooling and heating function provides excellent usability

Cons

Lacks an AC power cord; plugs into 12-volt car outlet only

For most of us, this 28-quart cooler from Igloo nailed the sweet spot. The thermoelectric powerplant provides cooling power to 36 degrees Fahrenheit below the ambient temperature and can also heat the inside up to 136 degrees Fahrenheit. This flexibility allows you to keep cold things cold and hot things hot. It’s the best of both worlds.

The Igloo lacks a freezer function, but the attractive price point reflects that. The design isn’t anything impressive, but it’s what Igloo is known for: functional and durable. The small size is perfect for road trippers and truckers—it fits just about anywhere in the vehicle, even the front floorboard—and the price is undeniably great, which is why we picked it as the Best Compact Electric Cooler. We wish it had an alternate power source besides its 12-volt cig-lighter plug, but there are plenty of affordable DC to AC adapters available at Amazon.

Power Source	12V DC plug
Claimed Capacity	28 quarts
Tested Can Capacity	39 cans
Space in Vehicle	Fits in trunk with all rear seats up, in all rows, and front passenger’s footwell

Pros

Great price for the performance
Larger capacity than expected

Cons

Handles protrude, making fitment a potential issue

The electric car coolers/freezers in this test vary wildly in price, but this Alpicool 48-quart entry held its own against the more expensive options. It boasts a healthy capacity, holding 59 soda cans (without the internal basket). The cooler comes with 12-volt and 120-volt power cords, so you can pre-cool it at home, keep it cooling on the road, and plug it in when you arrive at your destination.

The Alpicool didn’t get as cold as some of the others we tested (see graph below), but it was definitely cold enough to keep frozen items frozen. This is a great choice.

Power Source	12V DC plug; 120V AC plug
Claimed Capacity	45 quarts
Tested Can Capacity	59 cans (without basket)
Space in Vehicle	Fits in trunk with half of rear seats down and on second row seats
Lowest Temp Reached	6 degrees Fahrenheit
Dimensions (with handles) L/W/H	27.0/12.5/18.0 in
Available Sizes	37, 48, 58 quarts

Best Premium Electric Cooler/Freezer

Dometic CFX3 37-Quart Electric Cooler/Freezer

$862 at Amazon$704 at Dometic$873 at Walmart

Pros

Reached the coldest temps out of any cooler in this test
Top-notch quality and usability

Cons

Pricey

One of the industry leaders in portable cooling and refrigeration, Dometic is renowned for its RV air conditioners. That said, if you want to splurge on a top-of-the-line electric cooler/freezer to take along in your car or truck, this is the one you want. It reached the coldest temps in our test (see graph below) by a good margin. It’s extremely well built, featuring spring-loaded handles, an easy-to-use interface, and a sturdy hinge.

Temperature control is accessible through an app, and the option to power it by a separate solar panel opens it up for use off the grid. Yes, it’s pricey, but well worth the money.

Power Source	12V DC plug, 120V AC plug
Claimed Capacity	35 Quarts
Tested Can Capacity	54 Cans
Space in Vehicle	Fits in trunk with half of rear seats down, fits on second row seats
Lowest Temp Reached	-8.5 degrees Fahrenheit
Dimensions (with handles) L/W/H	26.5/15.0/16.0 in

Pros

Compact and portable

Cons

Internal insulation isn’t as great as the Alpicool

If you’re looking for a great deal on a portable electric car freezer, you’ve found it. We really liked the compact size of the BougeRV; its dimensions are ideal for road trips in small cars. (Again, most of these portable coolers come in multiple sizes; which one you need is up to you.) As far as performance, the BougeRV was comparable with our Best Budget Cooler listed above but came up just short with its insulation; once unplugged, it lost its internal temp just a tad faster than the Alpicool. But it costs about a hundred bucks less, and Alpicool doesn’t make a model that’s this compact.

A fantastic option for a road-trip freezer, it performed well in our vehicle space test; it’ll fit just about anywhere. If you need to keep frozen items from melting in a compact space, this is the portable cooler to get.

Power Source	12V DC plug, 120V AC plug
Claimed Capacity	23 quarts
Tested Can Capacity	30 cans
Space in Vehicle	Fits in trunk with all rear seats up, in all rows, and front passenger’s footwell
Lowest Temp Reached	0. 94 degrees Fahrenheit

Available Sizes	23, 30 quarts

Best Extra-Large Electric Cooler/Freezer

Bodega 80-Quart Electric Cooler/Freezer

Best Extra-Large Electric Cooler/Freezer

Bodega 80-Quart Electric Cooler/Freezer

$800 at Amazon$800 at Bodega

Pros

Humongous capacity
Independently controlled dual cool zones

Cons

Size makes it unwieldy and difficult to store

For the tailgater who wants to bring all the goodies, this 80-quart Bodega beast is our pick. Featuring two internal zones that can be independently controlled, it’s the ultimate extra-large electric cooler/freezer. The 80-quart combined capacity is handy too, allowing us to cram in 102 soda cans.

This cooler/freezer won’t be for every driver, as the size makes it unwieldy and difficult to store. But if you have the room, it’s the perfect tool to transform a tailgate party.

Power Source	12v DC plug; 120v AC plug
Claimed Capacity	Left zone: 48 quarts; Right zone: 32 quarts; Total: 80 quarts
Tested Can Capacity	102 cans
Space in Vehicle	Fits in trunk with half of rear seats down
Lowest Temp Reached	Left zone: 2.3 degrees Fahrenheit Right zone: 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit
Dimensions (with handles) L/W/H	35.0/20.0/19.0 in
Available Sizes	37, 48, 59, 80, 100 quarts

Honorable Mention

Pros

Lid can be opened in different orientations

Cons

Some online users have cautioned about the plug getting hot

If you’re looking for a larger thermoelectric cooler, this one from Coleman worked really well. It’s about a third larger than the Igloo for just a bit more money. Better yet, it can be stored with the lid up (like in the photo) or on its side with the lid facing out, like a mini-fridge. Note, though, that it’s not a freezer.

If you want the heating and cooling abilities of a thermoelectric cooler with a bit more internal space, this is the one to get.

Power Source	12V DC plug, 120V AC plug
Claimed Capacity	40 quarts
Tested Can Capacity	60 cans
Space in Vehicle	Fits in trunk with half of rear seats down, fits on second row seats

How We Tested Electric Coolers

Gannon Burgett|Car and Driver

Managing the temptation to test these coolers by drinking beer around the fire was our biggest challenge during this test. But to maintain our quest for objective data for your purchasing needs, we opted for thermometers, a Kia Sorento, and some same-size beverage cans (unopened).

When considering the parameters for our cooler test, we used the following parameters:

Cooling efficiency/time
Insulation: How well does it keep the temperature
Space: Where does it fit in the car?
Capacity: How many cans fit in the cooler?
Design: What features add to or subtract from the cooler?

Using the Govee Home Thermometer System, we ran our first test on cooling and efficiency. Assigning each cooler a thermometer, we started each at 71 degrees and turned each to its lowest setting, measuring the time it took to get there. The Govee app provides exportable data, demonstrating both the cooling and insulation properties of each unit, allowing us to build this handy graph.

To determine the baseline behavior, we measured cooling and insulation while empty. As a note, all of these manufacturers suggest priming the cooler—cooling them the night before any big road trip with a 120-volt AC power cord (if you need one, such as with the Igloo, you can buy an adapter here), then maintaining the cold with your car’s 12-volt DC car plug.

Next, we pulled out Car and Driver‘s Kia Sorento to investigate the size and storage for each unit. Starting with the trunk and moving forward, we checked each row of seats and the cargo hold for possible easy-access storage space. Lastly, we verified the manufacturer’s capacity claim, testing just how many standard 12-ounce soda cans fit into each cooler.

During our tests, our team moved these coolers around . . . a lot—giving us a great idea of just how these coolers adapt in real-life situations. Finally, we took notes on design features like portability, the handles, the wheels, interior baskets or accessories, and whether or not each was cumbersome to haul.

Things to Consider When Shopping for an Electric Cooler

Gannon Burgett|Car and Driver

Capacity: Consider the size of your electric cooler. You’ll want to ensure that your selection can adequately fit the amount of food and beverages you need for your trip.

Power Source: Electric coolers typically operate on AC power, DC power, and/or an external source like a power pack. Sometimes all three! Consider what your trip will look like and the power sources you have available.

Portability: Look for features like carrying handles, low weight, wheels, and a compact design, making your cooler easy to transport.

Thermoelectric vs. Compressor: Compressor coolers work in any outside temperature, but thermoelectrics are severely affected by it. The hotter the ambient temp, the worse the performance. This is why most thermoelectric cooler manufacturers don’t provide a maximum cooling temp—it’s defined by the ambient temperature. If you want your thermoelectric cooler to work the best, make sure it’s operating away from any ambient heat.

To that end, if you live in a hot, arid environment, or are driving through one on your road trip, avoid thermoelectric coolers altogether—unless you plan on using yours within the vehicle cabin and not in the trunk or truck bed.

Temperature Control: Many electric coolers have built-in temperature-control features allowing you to adjust and maintain desired cooling levels. Some coolers (usually thermoelectric models) have a single cold setting that keeps items cool, but not at a customizable temperature setting.

Additional features: Some coolers offer additional features that can enhance convenience such as removable dividers, built-in lights, and integrated USB ports for charging devices. Consider these extra features based on your specific needs.

FAQs

Gannon Burgett|Car and Driver

What is a portable electric cooler?

A portable electric cooler is a smaller appliance that keeps food and drinks cold (and sometimes warm). They can be plugged into a 120-volt AC wall outlet, the 12-volt cigarette lighter outlet in your car, and/or to a portable power source. Each model will have different power sources, so research your needs and pick up an adapter or power inverter if you need to.

How do I use a portable electric cooler?

To get the best out of your electric cooler, you should prime it the night before your trip. Plug it into your 120-volt wall outlet and begin the cooling process. Once it’s down to your desired temperature, transfer refrigerated items into the cooler. This way, your portable cooler is maintaining a cold temperature, which is far more efficient and uses less power than cooling down items.

What are some differences between thermoelectric coolers and compressor coolers?

Compressor coolers use the same technology as your home refrigerator, cooling through a series of compressed air and refrigerants. They are definitely more effective in cooling and are ideal for drivers who need to keep items at a consistent temperature.

Thermoelectric coolers use “solid-state cooling,” meaning there is no compressor or refrigerants. It uses the transfer of heat or cold through solid metal to run the device. Thermoelectric cooling is incredibly effective, but it does depend on the ambient temperature in which the cooler is operating. For example, if you are trying to run your cooler in the middle of the desert sun, the solid metal plate may have a hard time cooling since the original transfer begins at such a high temperature.

Are electric coolers noisy?

Not really. Some electric coolers can produce a low humming sound when in use.

Can electric coolers be used while driving?

Yes, a 12-volt DC power outlet can power most electric coolers—but be sure to check what the product offers.

Can I use an electric cooler while the car is off?

Yes, but be mindful that the cooler is powered by your car’s battery. Run it too long, and the car’s battery might drain completely. Luckily, many electric coolers produce a “low voltage” alert, which lets you know when the vehicle’s battery is getting dangerously low.

How long do electric coolers stay cold?

This is dependent on many factors, such as ambient temp, insulation, and contents. In general, as long as your cooler is plugged in, it will remain cool. An unplugged cooler, however, will lose temperature at different rates.

Can electric coolers freeze food and drinks?

Some electric coolers have a freeze function that can lower the temperature inside the cooler below the freezing point.

DOMETIC CFX3 35-Liter Portable Refrigerator and Freezer

Best Overall

DOMETIC CFX3 35-Liter Portable Refrigerator and Freezer

$862 at Amazon$980 at Walmart$980 at Dick’s Sporting Goods

Pros

Feels more premium than the competition
Has interior LED lights

Cons

Takes a couple hours to reach desired temperature
Its size makes it hard to fit tall items
Expensive (but worth it!)

Key Specs

Capacity: 35 liters

Weight: 37 pounds

Dimensions: ‎27. 32 L x 15.67 W x 16.02 H inches

There’s a reason why Dometic coolers are the brand of choice among van lifers, RVers, and others who live a more nomadic lifestyle. Simply put, they are durable, efficient, and reliable. Really, the only downside is their expensive price — the cheapest and smallest model will still cost you a pretty penny (~$750).

I recommend you opt for the 35-liter CFX3 model, which will keep your food and drinks cold anytime and anywhere. The car cooler can reach temperatures as low as minus 7 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s insulated extremely well, is built tougher than the competition, and its handles feel robust and make it easier to lug around.

The cooler can run off both 110- or 12-volt power sources, and it consumes between 0.5 and 1 amp each hour (to maintain a temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit.) Given its efficiency and precise temperature control, you can feel confident storing sensitive food items like seafood or even medication.

The CFX3 has a complementary smartphone app to offer users remote controls and a quick but easy way to monitor its internal temperature. A reviewer at Vancillary — who has used a Dometic cooler for over three years now — called the Dometic a “game-changer” and said it’s well worth its high price tag.

Cons

Heavy

Key Specs

Capacity: 35 liters

Weight: 37 pounds

Dimensions: ‎27.17 L x 13.6 W x 15 H inches

Annoyingly enough, electric car coolers have an incredibly wide price range. Some are even priced as high as $1,500. This option from Euhomy is a lot easier on your wallet and typically costs just under $300 — over three times cheaper than Dometic’s powered coolers. The Euhomy is a dual-zone cooler, which means one side can be used as a refrigerator and the other a freezer.

This option comes in three sizes, ranging from 35 liters up to 55 liters. The cheapest variant offers enough space to stow 36 cans of soda. The cooler is equipped with both 110/240 volt AC and 12/24 volt DC adapters, making it a good option to use both in the car or at home, or in a hotel room. The Euhomy allows users to set its temperature between 4 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit.

You can even pair it to your smartphone for remote control. The cooler weighs 30 pounds, so it may be a tad heavy for some. It does have handles on its side to ease the burden of carrying it, but unfortunately, they aren’t as large as Dometic’s car coolers.

Best Small Soft-Cooler

Polar Bear Coolers 24-Pack Original Nylon Soft Cooler

$90 at Amazon

Pros

Affordable

Easy to clean

Cons

Its smaller size can feel limiting

A note on availability: Due to increased demand, this product may fluctuate between in and out of stock. We will be frequently checking and refreshing the links as it becomes available again. If the Polar Bear is out of stock, we also recommend this soft cooler from AO.

Key Specs

Capacity: 10 liters

Weight: 4 pounds

Dimensions: ‎18 L x 12 W x 10 H inches

This affordable but durable soft cooler offers enough space for 24 cans of soda and 14 pounds of ice while still being narrow enough to store on the floor mat behind your front seat. It’s highly insulated and keeps ice frozen for 24 hours, even in the summertime. It comes in several colors and includes a convenient shoulder strap.

My colleagues at Best Products’ sister site, Good Housekeeping said of the soft coolers they tested, Polar Bear’s coolers performed the best, even just as well as hard coolers. The tester also remarked that it was “very easy to clean.”

Best for the Backseat

YETI Roadie 24 Cooler

$305 at Amazon$330 at Walmart$250 at Dick’s Sporting Goods

Pros

Latches are easy to use

Extremely durable

Cons

Strap could be a little bit longer

Key Specs

Capacity: 23 liters

Weight: 13 pounds

Dimensions: ‎17. 5 L x 14 W x 16.5 H inches

The Roadie 24 cooler from Yeti is an excellent option for day trips thanks to its taller and narrower size which makes it ideal for storing it in the backseat of your vehicle. It provides enough space to stack 24 cans and a 10-pound bag of ice. With an internal height of 13 inches, it is also tall enough to accommodate wine- or 2-liter bottles.

When it comes to insulation and ice retention, the Roadie 24 won’t disappoint. During my tests, I pre-chilled the cooler for a few hours before a weekend trip, and it was able to keep my drinks cold for 3 days.

Compared to Yeti’s soft coolers like the Hopper 18, it’s larger and much easier to get in and out of since it doesn’t have a zipper. That’s because its latches can be unhooked easily with one hand. Yeti’s zippers, on the other hand, are quite tight and require two hands to open.

I appreciate that the cooler features rubber feet on its base, which add some friction to keep it stable and prevent it from sliding around. Another nice perk? The Roadie is the perfect height to use as a stool when you need a place to sit while you’re out and about.

As for the not-so-great, I wish that its strap were longer. Unfortunately, it’s not long enough for shoulder carry, and when the cooler is loaded up, it swings around and can easily bump into your shin.

Overall, the Roadie 24 is a small but sturdy cooler that’s solidly constructed and outshines other coolers in ice retention. Its convenient size and shape make it a strong choice for a two-person trip or a day at the beach.

Best for Road Trips and Grocery Hauls

ICECO JP60Pro 60-Liter Mobile Refrigerator Fridge

Shop at Amazon

Pros

Rugged rotomolded design

Compressor is reliable and backed by 5-year warranty

Cons

No interior light

Latches are stiff and can be tricky to remove

Key Specs

Capacity: 60 liters

Weight: 56 pounds

Dimensions: ‎29. 3 L x 19.5 W x 18.8 H inches

The ICECO JP60Pro is one of the most feature-filled car coolers on the market. The cooler is equipped with four cup holders on its top lid, two rulers for measuring fish (one in inches and the other in centimeters), and rubber-like latches to keep it closed.

This 60-Liter cooler offers more than enough space for a family of four and can easily store 60 cans of soda. Given the cooler’s large size — it’s about 30 inches long, 19 inches tall, and weighs 56 pounds — I was happy to see that it has two handles on each side. One pair is rope handles with padded grips, and the other two are located at the lip of the cooler.

On the left side, you’ll find a drain plug at its base for emptying melted ice, and on the opposite side, near the handle, is a convenient bottle opener. Users can easily set (and view) temperature with a side-mounted control panel.

YouTuber Jasonoid remarked that the ICECO is an extremely reliable cooler that did “really well” at regulating its temperature. The car cooler is DC power only, but fortunately, it comes with a DC to AC adapter. You can expect the fridge to pull an average of 1.08 amp-hours per hour which is impressive given its large size.

Lastly, it’s worth mentioning that ICECO includes a cutting board and a useful wire basket to keep food organized. It’s also compatible with a removable set of 6.5-inch wheels at an additional expense, which makes it easier to move.

Best for Weekend Trips

YETI Tundra 45 Cooler

Shop at Amazon

Pros

Large capacity yet still small enough to fit in most trunks

Includes dry basket

Cons

Not tall enough for wine or 2L soda bottles to stand upright

Key Specs

Capacity: 35.6 liters

Weight: 23 pounds

Dimensions: ‎25. 8 L x 16.1 W x 15.4 H inches

The Yeti Tundra 45 hard-shell cooler is slightly larger than a checked piece of luggage, making it an ideal companion for an extended weekend getaway or camping trip. The rotomolded cooler has rope handles, a rubber seal around its lid, a metal dry storage basket, and tie-down loops.

Compared to the Roadie 24 I previously mentioned, this option has a 55% larger capacity (35 liters versus the Roadie’s 23 liters). It also has a drain system to allow you to quickly empty melted ice. It’s worth mentioning that the Tundra 45 is surprisingly heavy for its size and weighs 23 pounds when empty. It’s probably the largest hard-shell Yeti cooler that one person can comfortably handle.

Although the Yeti Tundra 45 is more expensive than most coolers, it retains ice longer than the competition to keep internal temperatures plenty low, it comes in a wide variety of fun colors and is durable as hell. It’s even bearproof!

Best Dual-Zone Cooler

ICECO VL75ProD 75-Liter Portable Fridge Freezer

$999 at Amazon

Pros

Lids can open each way or be removed completely

Cons

Handles are made of plastic

Expensive

Key Specs

Capacity: 75 liters

Weight: 56 pounds

Dimensions: ‎38. 3 L x 18.3 W x 18.1 H inches

The ICECO VL75ProD is the best option for large families, lengthy road trips, and folks who want a car cooler with dual zones that each have independent temperature controls. The cooler is essentially split in two and has separate lids for each side. That way, you can use one side as a refrigerator and the other as a freezer. Of course, you can set the same single temperature for each side in the event you strictly want to freeze or cool your items.

The cooler sports an ultra durable design with a steel shell and plastic bumpers. It’s weatherproof and has a sealed control panel, which has dual USB ports for charging your gear. It’s also equipped with bright LED lights on each side and comes with two baskets to help keep things organized. This option also packs dual drains if you use ice and need to empty it out once it melts.

Compared to the CFX3 75 from Dometic, the ICECO’s lids are easier to open for faster access to your items, even if you’re in the front seat. In fact, the lids can open in either direction! Both the Dometic and ICECO coolers allow users to completely remove the lids if need be. The Dometic also allows users to plug the cooler into both 12- and 120-volt outlets at the same time. However, Dometic’s coolers are oftentimes several hundred dollars more expensive than ICECO models.

If you have space for this massive cooler (it weighs a whopping 67 pounds), it will offer more than enough room to keep your food fresh and drinks ice cold. Although it’s typically priced at a hard-to-swallow $1,000-plus, it’s still cheaper than the competition and still has a reliable compressor and a durable build quality.
