Every year without fail, when we go camping, we seem to forget that we won’t have a fridge or freezer. How we haven’t learnt this yet, I’m not sure, but it always results in about six of us turning up with enough meat to feed an army and an attempt to cook and eat it all on the same night. Well, not this year! We managed to get our hands on the Powerbox Plus, a 28L active cooler that operates off of a 12V car plug-in or a 230V electrical outlet (both cables included). It features a high performance injected PU foam that will keep the contents at 18˚C below the ambient temperature.

This cooler has a control dial with three modes, allowing you to choose its performance and efficiency level. Night mode reduces the noise level of the fan, so as not to disturb you whilst you are trying to sleep, Eco mode is an environmentally friendly mode that gives the cooler an A++ energy rating when in operation, and the Max mode is available for the ultimate cooling performance. The PowerPlus has an antimicrobial liner to prevent the growth of microorganisms that spoil food, and to also ensure resistance from mould and mildew growth inside the cooler. This also helps to block unpleasant odours from developing. Its 28L capacity can fit 8 x 1.5L bottles. The locking lid give an audible click on when you close it, so you know it is properly closed, it features an over-the-top carry handle and if only weighs 3.8kg when empty, making it easy to carry about. It is as compact as it can be at only 41 x 31x 47 cm, so it won’t take up too much room in the car boot. Altogether, this is a cool little cooler (yes, I get paid for these puns) that uses minimal energy for maximum effect. RRP £69.99
