I have this and it works great, but check your vehicle because some don't provide 12v power when the car is off.

Perhaps people returned it after a camping trip? It got 4.5 stars in review.
One potential issue is in the shipping. Amazon put it side way in a box to ship. If one did not keep it upright for at least 24 hours before turning it on, it may damage the compressor. Mine was delivered totally upside down. So I put it back in upright position for 4 days before I turn it on.

I have the 30 qt. Plug in car while runing and power bank when car stops. Tested it at home with Bluetti AC2A 300w and it can last 10 hr with it.
Plug the cooler into the 12V of the power bank, plug the power bank into the cigarette lighter.

With my Jackery 1000+, if it's fully charged, it seems to just pass the power through when getting 12V power (cigarette lighter), and when the car is off (my car cuts the power when I open the door) it powers the cooler. When I start the car back up, it starts to charge the Jackery and power the cooler at the same time (charges slower if the refrigerator is on, but just like a regular fridge, it's often off).

al alternative that is a bit more

Having dual zones is nice. Can have both a fridge and freezer at the same time.
I got the Bodega 42 quart dual-zone version, I chose it over the linked one because instead of being 19/19 for the dual sides, it's 30q on the one side and 12q on the other side. I don't need the freezer to be half the size (most of the time it's probable 3q-4q of frozen stuff (and the rest of the space is water bottles).

I figure if I only need a 30q or 12q refrigerator, I can just turn the other half off and it'll use less power. I would expect that just using the dual as two refrigerators would be more inefficient than a big 42q, but with the option of only using one side, or using one as a freezer has some additional flexibility. Depending on the day, I could just make the small side be a fridge.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CFF9J47K. It's more right now, but I got it for $262.25 on sale (I've seen it on sale a lot with and with a clipable coupon).

Today I see it has a 10% code bringing it down to $240, ZYE50DVJT7EG not sure if that's targeted or for everyone, but it's a redeem button on the product page.

I also keep a blanket over it (don't block the vents) and use one of those windshield shades to block the sun some by the window that it's near.


EDIT June 21, 2026: The 42 quart dual I linked above just dropped to $265.04 with another 5% NOW 10% off at check out (that's $239-ish). As I mentioned the these jump around a bit, but that's the lowest I've seen this year (the discounts don't always get factored into the price tracking sites). Also, the 34q is $10 less, it's got the same footprint as the 42q, but not as tall.

I picked one of these up during last week's sale. I took it on a road trip this past weekend. It was so nice having cold drinks and snacks without having to muck around with ice. The minibar at my hotel went untouched because I brought my own. I really appreciated being able to plug it into home and car power, letting me get it down to temp before I left. I wish the "small zone" was a separate climate area. As it stands, it's a bit warmer than the main area but the delta isn't enough to have freezer and fridge zones. For under $200 this way better for road tripping or camping than one of those fancy Yeti coolers.

Thank you for the idea. I didn't know that I can setup this way to avoid un/re-plug every time car stops/starts. I just have to check if my car cuts power from 12V when car is off. Some do, some don't.

Quick search the most cars do now to protect drain batteries.
