Waeco 12v coolbox experiences please?

Thanks again all. I really don't think the bank balance will stretch to hundreds of pounds. I have three batteries to replace next month! The Peltier type will have to do for £50ish. Have shore power to chill it and often run the engine in any case so as long as I unplug the thing when sailing or at anchor it should, I hope, keep milk and bacon etc fresh for a few days at most.

I do exactly that + the 2litre bottle of frozen and its a very good compromise - I have a waeco now on its fourth year. Fill it at home then take it to the boat as a piece of luggage

Not sure it would work in the soaring temperatures of southern England but it works well up here in the perma frost

Right, that's it. Decision made, cheaper one will have to do for now. Thanks all, very helpful and informative as always.
