Can we have an icey tek chat

You know you want to !
My little plug in fridge has died so would like to replace
Often have no hook up so would prefer a non electric version
Have seen rave reviews for these on here, are they still the best
Would a 25l be big enough , one person max three nights usually . I'm usually a go big or go home and it's not much more money girl but the bigger ones look really heavy to carry.
All advice appreciated

I love my Icey Tek, and the 25l (is it 25? I thought 24, but no matter) is perfect for 1 person / 3 days.

Pre-chill the box with ice, freezer blocks, frozen bottles of water or water frozen into square Tupperware etc.

Freeze as much as possible before packing it, chill everything else.

Open it as infrequently as possible and for as short a time as possible.

Keep it in the shade and put a T Towel or towel over it.

They do take up a lot of room in the car and are heavy when fully loaded.

Most importantly, what colour are you thinking?

Love my icey tek (pink, in case you're wondering). It is heavy though but keeps things so much cooler than our previous electric chiller box. Last year in the heat was the first time we had trouble keeping things cool (but also because the freezer on the campsite wasn't working properly).

My only issue with it is that a bottle of prosecco won't stand up in it. Works best when pre chilled. Thanks for reminding me to get some bottles in the freezer to freeze down.

Thanks , sounds like a good plan
It's for my mini holidays in Horsebox with pony so weight not an issue once it's in box .

Really want pink but they don't seem to do it anymore which is sad

Thanks for all the tips
