We stuck three cans of "pop" (yes we are from the north) inside the minicooler, they were cold but not super cold. BUT it's nice to have when you have nothing cold in the Tennessee summer heat! I love that the minicooler came with a lighter plug for the car, nice for vacations or camping! Plus it came with a normal plug for the wall. Over all I'm satisfied with the Ion Minicooler. It will be great for our afternoons in the shop. Thanks!
