About this deal

The performance of the passive coolboxes will depend on the quality of the insulation of the walls and lid. I’ll recommend tried and tested product options suitable for all types of situations, whether you are a family (big or small), couples and solo campers. This camping fridge option acts very much like your fridge at home, but smaller. It’s powered by electricity and you can reach temperatures as low as 12 degrees below celsius. If you’re looking to store items such as meat, this is your preferred option. When you go camping it’s important to choose the food you take carefully. See this article on Camping food safety at Gov.uk.

You can run them via mains power or your vehicle battery. To get some low temperatures your car battery might not be powerful enough. Due to the nature of how they are made they tend to be heavier than other options. 4. Gas Fridges The best cool bags are solid and durable; the worst have the exterior casing rip after only one strong tug.A home fridge is around 5 degrees. Or you can get a higher performing thermoelectric coolbox that will keep it 30 degrees below ambient temperature. This will cost more. Some electric cool boxes can also harness solar energy. The great benefit of these fridges is that you set the temperate and the unit will keep it at that level. They are usually the quietest, sometimes making no noise at all which equals peaceful nights for you and any neighbours. Runs on 12V DC in the vehicle, 230V AC in the home, or switch over to gas mode to continue to use the cooler whilst outside.

All the cool bags we tested so far perform decently, but the best ones keep water cool all day, whereas in the worst, the water is closer to room temperature by the end. Leakproof Technology has come a long way over the recent years and I’m sure you’ll find something to fit your budget and needs.

The Food Standards Agency recommends you keep your fridge set at 5°C, so that cold food stays at around 8°C. You'll want to keep your bag below 5°C, especially if you have perishables, for as long as you want to keep eating and drinking stuff from the bag. Ways to keep your family living costs down, and kids of all ages happy Get our Family newsletter – it's free monthly Thermoelectric powered camping fridges are insulated boxes that keep items cool with an electric fan. Outside of passive coolboxes these tend to be the cheaper option.

These fridges make use of either electricity or gas to function. They can generate the lowest temperatures at up to 33 degrees centigrade below the ambient temperature. Claims on how long they keep your food cool for vary from product to product, from a few hours to several days. An average model may have a cooling power of 20 degrees celsius below the ambient temperature. So if it’s 30 degrees outside it will keep it at 10 degrees. To replicate getting bits in and out of the bag, we open and close it at regular intervals throughout the test.There is a lot of camping fridge jargon thrown about but essentially there are four types of camping fridge: 1. Passive Coolboxes The best cool bags are leakproof and easy to clean. The worst leak. Some have water dripping out in a matter of seconds and are impossible to clean, as spills soak into the bag. Comfort The warmer it gets outside the fridge, the harder it will work and the more energy it will consume but you don’t need to worry about the ambient temperature like the thermoelectric fridges. These fridges are expensive but if you’re away for a period of time and go regularly, they are exceptional camping fridges. Layer strategically Put things you need last at the bottom, so when you go rummaging in the bag, it's for the shortest amount of time possible.

These coolers are the cheapest options and are available in all sorts of sizes from the highly portable to huge chest-sized options.
