after i plugged the Ion minicooler in i was suprised that i five minutes the mini fridge  was cold and ready to use.i was extremley happy how the minicooler fit so well on my bathroom shelve.I used my minicooler to chill all my skin care products.this was awesome cause i didnt have to walk to the kitchen fridgde to get my skin care products.also it was so nice that i could plug the Ion minicooler in my car charger.i loved the ac/dc plugs.i could take on long car rides or my kids could keep snacks in it in their room.i just love this! i would reccommend this to all my friends.
