Best Prime Day cooler and 12V portable refrigerator deals

There's an array of coolers available in the Prime Day event, Fox Morgan has sought out the best deals to save you time and effort...

A cooler box is one of the most useful items to have between your house, car and boat. If you’re out at the beach or in an open boat, put a few ice blocks in one and keep your drinks and picnic cool.
Coolers aren’t just for keeping things cool though. If you’re collecting a take away, then put it in the “cooler” in the back of your car. It’ll keep the smells down and keep the food hot. These insulated boxes are a great way to carry anything keeping it at the temperature it started out at for longer.

Then there’s the powered options which open up the possibilities of ongoing refrigeration and freezing. Here’s my top pick of some of the best Prime Day cooler deals.

Don’t forget, if you want to get the best price, you’ll have to be an Amazon Prime member – if you aren’t already, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial.

iceMi Backpack Cooler – save 26% (now $48.78, was $65.98)
I use a soft cooler bag in my camper van where I don’t have space for a solid sided cooler. It can be squashed slightly to fit into an awkward corner and works well to keep food cool over night. It’s well organised too with pockets and a top opening means it can sit upright in a hard to reach area but still access the contents. This back pack style is really useful for lugging it around easily.

DOMETIC CoolFreeze – save 26% (now £326.43, was £440.27)
I own a Dometic CoolFreeze (the one size bigger than this one) and I absolutely love it. It can be plugged in to the mains power to get it down to temperature, which is handy given these things go down to -18C and then take it to my boat and plug it into the 12V power to maintain the cold. I often just use it as a cool box and turn the power off completely, letting my frozen blocks of food defrost gradually as I eat my way through it. These things are brilliant bits of kit and work well along side other food coolers and bags.
Dimensions: 260 x 425 x 550 mm
Weight: 12.5kg
