    I’ve seen plug in mini fridges at various truck stops but can’t recall the brands. Anybody know of a good one?. I’m not 100%
    sure but my Coleman power chill might be starting to go. I’m not sure why as it’s not even a year old and has served me well but if it takes a crap I’d like to know of a worthy replacement.

    Those electric coolers don't last long.
    The fans quit, or suck to must dust.

    I have had a Koolatron for 3 or so years. I love it and have never had a problem with it. I think the one that I have is the 18qt. I have taken it out of my truck and used on vacation also.

    The same brands are usually at the truck stops but ask your company if they have any spares laying around you might get lucky

    I personally would not buy any p the chinese junk the truck stops sell.

    Walmart, Lowes and HomeDepot, Best Buy all sell plug in mini fridges that actually work and last longer.

    Do the chain truck stops sell or do I have to get one from a big box store?.

    The fan didn’t quit but the contents are not as cold as they once were. Also the fan blows hot air on the outside of vent.

    I’d prefer to get a fridge with a cigarette outlet plug rather than a AC plug. I don’t want to be dependent on a power inverter.
