Traveling in a car in summer should be fun until you make a stop and find out a long line to buy some drinks. It wastes time and ruins the fun. At that time maybe you wish you have bought one of those coolers your neighbor has. Looking at the various options available online when I did a quick search once I got home, it seems like the industry has grown to satisfy everyone's needs. And now I wondered why I didn't think about that before.
May be because I traveled less than others. A cooler is available for any situation you can think about, not only for short trips. You would be quite happy with a compact size beverage cooler if you only cover a few hundred miles. For people who go for longer trips, obviously a larger cooler is more convenient.
The good news is, the market has it no matter what your demand is. You shouldn't worry about choices. You have more of them than the time to review all of them on your own. At times, you must compromise but if you do that, make sure it still satisfies most of your requirements pretty well.
It helps if you create a list of things you want from a cooler based on priority, so you can focus on the big picture. Give weight for each of the item. Nail down to a few winning products, then see if any one of them stands out of the crowd based on the list that you create.
Nowadays, shopping should be fun. The Internet makes it possible. But it does come with a caveat. Not everything you'll find online is true. You can't trust everyone and still need to do your own research. Laziness is not an excuse. You are still responsible to filter the information and find out the truth.
On the top of the list, I start with price and capacity. Yours may be different. Not that you can neglect the other features, but perhaps they are not that critical. Once you know what you know, going through a list of products should be brisk because you only concentrate on a few points that matter. Secondary features may be nice, but there is no compromise for price and capacity.
If you don't want to, it is not necessary to solicit opinions from other people before you buy. Look for online reviews. You will tap into the experience of tens or hundreds of people who have been using the product for some time. And that is very valuable, if you ask me.
Final tip. All coolers that I reviewed can use power from a standard cigarette lighter. However, you need a separate adapter if you occasionally use it indoor to save battery power.
