I've had mine just shy of two weeks and use it daily. I got the 18 because I needed a smaller cooler that is easy to move from one place to another as it is only 23 pounds empty. Verify the temperature at a glance and adjusting the temperature couldn't be more simple. Perfect to load with drinks and cold foods for taking to the beach and on long road trips. No more worries of submerging hands in ice water to find your cold drink. Less ice equals more room for drinks and cold foods. No more soggy, dripping labels. The Interior lighting is perfect in the evenings and at night. I am still awaiting the need to use it as a freezer. I love this cooler.
I really liked my Igloo ICF-18! As it turns out it fit perfectly between the front seats on my Mercedes-Benz Metris and it’s convenient to get cold water while on the road! I power it through the 12v outlet with the 12v cable when I’m on the road. When I’m parked I power it with my Anker C1000 through the 110 outlet with the 110 cable. It’s really nice to have the convenience of having a refrigerator in my van! I keep drinks and food cold without having to worry about getting ice or dealing with water everywhere! It’s light weight that I can carry and take out before my next trip. I use the same portable dolly for my Anker C1000 to move it around the house. I’m planning on having ice cream on my next trip!
Outstanding! Purchased the ICF 18 a month ago and used for 8 days straight without any problem. We found our perfect temp was 34 degrees. This cooler was spot on with the temperature although the smaller compartment above the compressor was just a few degrees higher. We opted to use that area for soda cans and items that weren’t as sensitive to temperature. The main area kept things really cold. I used a refrigerator thermometer before our trip and felt the internal thermometer was spot on within a degree or two. For longer trips or families the 32 (size wise might be better), but we are happy with our choice! The unit was powered with a portable power supply that kept our Igloo running all day while driving with power to spare! To be fair, the Igloo was in a climate controlled car nearly all the time. Hope this helps and we would highly recommend the Igloo ICF 18. It is also very quiet as someone else mentioned. The cooler (fully loaded) was also manageable for a couple of seniors to lift in and out of our car. Good job and Thank you Igloo!!!
