Coolers
How large should my cooler be?
Which cooler size you need, depends on how long you're gone for and how much you take with you. For a day out, a small cooler often is enough. For a weekend or vacation, it's better to choose a medium-sized or large cooler. Some models also have 2 separate parts. That way, you can keep drinks cool and food frozen in 1 cooler, for example.

FAQ
What types of coolers are there?
There are passive coolers that cool with ice or cooling elements without power. Active coolers work with power via 12V in your car or 230V in the socket and keep food and drinks cool as long as they're connected.
How long do food and drinks stay cold?
In passive coolers, this is usually 4 to 24 hours depending on the insulation and temperature. Active coolers remain cold as long as they're connected to power.
How do I choose the right size cooler?
Choose based on the number of people and the amount of food and drinks. Keep the ice or cooling elements in mind as well.
Can a cooler keep something warm as well?
Some electric coolers have a keep-warm function, but most coolers only keep things cool.
How do I maintain my cooler?
Clean it regularly with mild soap, dry it well, and store it dry and closed to prevent odors and mold.
