Which Coolbox do I need?

Which Coolbox do I need?

Choosing which coolbox you need can be very confusing. It really depends on what capacity you are looking for, the technology (some run silently) and where you are going to use it. For example, each coolbox has a “below ambient temperature” specification. If you are going to travel to Europe the outside ambient temperature is likely going to be far higher than if you were to stay in the UK. Thus, you would need a coolbox that will cool down to a lower below ambient temperature.
Below we summarise the different types of coolboxes available.
