small freezer for auto (know of one?)

[IHateMyJob2004]

Does anyone know if they make a portable freezer intended for vehicle use? In short, my favorite ice cream(Perry's) is about 5 hours away. So next time I go to an area with it, Iwant to bring 2-3 boxes back with me. But that requires a freezer.

I'd do any needed wiring on my own. I've run 4 gauge on y own before, so it's not a big deal for me to do.

Anyone?

Dry Ice

yeah, dry ice in a good cooler would do it, wouldn't it?

Wow, that is expensive just for some ice cream

Maybe when I am a gazillionaire. And thank you for this anandtech effect.

Those are just coolers right? I don't know how well they would keep icecream for 4 hours.

Those are just coolers though. Not freezers.

About the same as using Ice in a regular cooler. I'd say use these and keep the AC going

I forgot to mention, these coolers are not refrigerators, they are coolers, they work on bi-metallic / exothermic heat transfer, they do not contain freon, compressors, condensers, evaporators.

They will keep your ice cream from melting if they are precooled for up to 6 hours. (On the premium models)

You just missed this:

It runs off of 12V from either a lighter adapter or AC power brick.

Edit: n/m, it won't freeze and isn't large enough.

yeah, what roger said

you can't get a frig/freezer with a compressor to use in a car/run off 12VDC

you have to use one of those coolers


it would be MUCH cheaper/EASIER to just pack the ice cream in a normal cooler with DRY ICE
