Wagan 2260 Thermo-Electric Fridge/Warmer - 6L Capacity
6 liter capacity, cools to 32 degrees Fahrenheit to 36 degrees Fahrenheit, hot/cold/off switch, LED temperature display, 2 can/cup holders on the front, designed to fit at front console or backseat with leather armrest and adjustable shoulder strap.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.

The temperature read out lies
Got this item yesterday and plugged it in. Was very impressed at first. The temperature indicator was showing rapid temperature decrease finally down to 45 degrees. This was inside a 78 degree home. Ok, I then put a thermometer inside the unit and closed it up for an hour. The external display showed 41 but the thermometer I placed inside was showing 52. This is all done inside a 78 degree home. I'm more inclined to believe my thermometer then the display. I placed 3 chilled 16oz water bottles inside and left them overnight. Took them out in the morning and they where cool, but not cold. The 32 degree claim on the box is pure puffery in my opinion. The 40-45 degree drop from ambient temperature is also was not confirmed in my test. I'm returning this unit. It isn't going to 'cool' anything to near the advertised claims.

Wimpy little portable fridge with AUTO PLUG ONLY
I know I was not the only one to be misled by the product discription, and when I contacted the seller about the 'missing wall plug' all I got was the runaround. Be aware this item only comes with the auto-plug feature, the optional wall plug is only if you buy it seperately, that is, if you can find it.
The fridge comes with a temperature display that has never worked, the cup holder is a cheap, roughly hewn soda-can holder that flips open akwardly from the top of the front panel.
I have also found the fridge to be miserably under-powered. ALL it will do is lower the ambient temperature of the room slightly, and if you place items in the fridge that aren't pre-chilled, you're wasting your time if the mini-fridge isn't kept in a briskly-chilled room or car.
If ever I was to regret a purchase, this is definitely it.
To note, I have not tried using the warming feature.
avoid this
I do not know where to begin.
I bought this to replace a similar older Wagan I got from Costco 5 yrs ago. That one used to hold 6 small water bottles standing up (8.25" height each). This one is a piece of junk. The same water bottles do not fit anymore. It slopes down towards the front, so it is much shorter.
I have no idea who could have designed this, they probably never seen a plastic water bottle before.
I guess the product photo showing the cooler open with the content exposed is the way it was designed for.
The whole thing is plastic. The top has a useless cushion.
The latch is so cheaply made, it pop up and leaves the fridge open.
I have to keep scotch tape on it.
The front face does not seem to be mounted securely.
Does not come with AC adapter, so I bought a Black & Decker adapter for $17 at Walmart, and it looks like it can easily outlast the cooler.
It is very under powered, the manual says reaches 34 deg, yes if you place the...
