Buy Cool Boxes Online – for Camping, Outdoor & on the Go

Whether you are looking for a cool box for the car, need an energy-saving compressor box for your camping holiday or simply want a practical passive box for day trips: The range covers everything you need. From compact models for two people to large family coolers with multiple compartments, you will find the right solution here. Thanks to different operating modes, robust materials and clever features such as wheels, carry handles and USB ports, there is a suitable cool box for every occasion.

Passive, Thermoelectric or Compressor?

The biggest decision when buying a cool box concerns the operating principle. Passive cool boxes work with cooling packs and are independent of power – ideal for short trips. Thermoelectric cool boxes cool and heat via the 12V connection in the car and offer flexibility on the go. Compressor cool boxes work like a household refrigerator, reach sub-zero temperatures and are particularly energy-efficient – perfect for camping and van life. Absorption cool boxes with gas connection are a proven choice when no electricity is available.

Quality, Features & Product Selection

A good cool box is characterized by well-designed insulation, durable materials and easy handling. Important features include adjustable carry handles, sturdy wheels for larger models and a reliable sealing system. For active cool boxes, energy efficiency, the achievable temperature range and undervoltage protection for operation on the vehicle electrical system play a central role. Those who want to stay flexible look for combination functions like cooling and heating as well as the ability to operate the box via multiple power sources.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of cool boxes are there and how do they differ?▾
Basically, a distinction is made between passive cool boxes (insulated boxes with cooling packs), thermoelectric cool boxes (12V/230V operation) and compressor cool boxes (like a small refrigerator). In addition, there are gas-powered absorption cool boxes that operate completely self-sufficiently. The choice depends on whether you want to cool or also freeze and how much energy is available.
Which cool box is best suited for camping?▾
For shorter camping trips, robust passive cool boxes or thermoelectric models that run on the car's 12V connection are a good choice. For longer stays without a power connection, compressor cool boxes with powerful battery and solar operation or gas-powered absorption cool boxes are recommended.
How long do cooling packs last in a cool box?▾
The cooling duration depends on the insulation capacity of the box, the outside temperature and the quantity of cooling packs. High-quality passive cool boxes can easily keep food and drinks cold for a whole day with sufficient cooling packs, and even longer under ideal conditions.
Can I also use a cool box for warming?▾
Many thermoelectric cool boxes offer an integrated keep-warm function that keeps food at serving temperature. However, real heating power for warming up cold food is usually not provided – special mobile food warmers are better suited for this.
Which cool box is suitable for use in the car?▾
Thermoelectric cool boxes with a 12V connection are ideal for use in the car, as they can be plugged directly into the cigarette lighter. Compressor cool boxes can also run on 12V, but require more power and should be protected with a suitable auxiliary battery or power station.
How do I clean my cool box properly?▾
Cleaning should be done after each use with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid aggressive abrasive cleaners, as they can attack the seals and plastic surfaces. After cleaning, allow the box to dry completely before storing it closed.
What does the capacity in liters mean and what size do I need?▾
The volume indicates how much content the cool box can hold. For day trips and picnics, compact models are sufficient; for a family camping holiday, it should be several dozen liters. A rough rule of thumb: You can expect about five to ten liters of volume per person per day.
Are cool boxes also suitable for solar operation?▾
Yes, many compressor cool boxes can be excellently combined with solar panels and a suitable power station or solar charge controller. This way, reliable cooling is available even on multi-day camping trips without shore power, without having to rely on gas or a running engine.
