Bought one of these today.

Looked at them last week and they were $52, the price drop swayed me. $40 today.
I don't need an Engel or a Waeco since we are only doing day trips at the moment. We normally pack a few rolls and a few drinks into an insulated bag with some ice bricks for lunch but have found that it is not the best way of keeping drinks cold and since it will fit a dozen cans it seemed like a perfect solution! I don't expect that it would be able to chill down food or beverage too rapidly but if they were already prechilled then it shouldn't have too much of a struggle to maintain them.
As for the heating function I cant see that as any more than a salmonella incubator.
Lets see how it goes.
