Isabella Compressor cool box
Price £320
Heading off for a weekend escape, road trip or camping adventure? This tough, 40-litre compressor cool box might be your ideal travel mate. It chills food and drinks quickly and quietly (≤38dB), keeping everything refreshingly cool wherever you go.
The adjustable temperature range from -20°C to +20°C means you can freeze or refrigerate as needed, while Eco and Max modes balance efficiency and speed. Power it via 12/24V in your motorhome or 230V at home - both cables are supplied. With three levels of battery protection, your vehicle's power stays safe, while the child lock prevents accidental adjustments.
A useful divider creates two compartments, and you can manage everything via the clear display or the Tuya Smart Life smartphone app.

It'll run your induction hob, fire up the microwave, charge phones and laptops, help you stay connected via Starlink or cellular, or even power an EcoFlow Wave 3 heater/air-conditioner.
You can recharge it via mains power, EV charging stations, an EcoFlow Alternator Charger, or with solar panels (fixed or portable).
