Disaster. Stopped working mid flight to uk
Untrustworthy product! I needed to find a way to transport my RA injections from Hawai’i to the UK safely at 36F, this looked like the answer. On the flight Hawai’i to lax it started to play up, not holding a charge so u had to keep it plugged in continuously, then on the flight lax to London, mid flight it just stopped working altogether! Ohh hell what do I do now? I got bags of ice from the air steward's for the rest of the flight. But I have no idea if the integrity of my 3 injections which cost $1000 each are still usable.Don’t by this product it’s electronics can’t be trusted!

Got the job done -- with several caveats
I purchased and returned several of these types of units, searching for one where everything worked. This model, the best of the lot, had 50% of the advertised battery life (around 6 hours) and a non-functioning alarm. Other versions I tested failed to last even 3 hours, keep a steady temperature (per my freezer thermometer), had a non-functioning on/off switch meaning it takes hours and hours to charge the batteries because you have to devote power to cooling even if you are not using the cooling while you charge. I never found one that had a working alarm.I used this unit for three weeks in the tropics and it did keep my medicine cool, but I had to carry a charged external power block for one leg of the journey. I was also burned when the unit came unplugged on a car journey and no alarm sounded; luckily we made no long stops that day and the temperature had only risen to 55 degrees when we discovered the problem. As long as you have electricity or access to a USB charge port in your car, boat or plane, it's a better solution than figuring out how to manage ice packs in the developing world.

A high-tech solution for an old problem.
I ordered this for a family member who has to use insulin pens. They were quite happy with how versatile this is. It’s bigger than the other one they have but it does hold more stuff inside so there is that. We haven’t tried getting them through TSA yet but I will update my review when the time comes if that is an issue. They are great for road trips and other travel or even just sustained power outages. The temperature display is great and easy to read and based on a small temperature probe I have, it seems pretty accurate. The case is solid and everything remains secure even if it’s tossed around a bit. It has a good finish which also seems pretty durable and easy to keep clean. It is as functional as it is attractive. Everything you need is included and is good quality. The USB cable is proprietary, so not like a standard USB-C that everyone has, which means yet another cable to carry around. That’s their only criticism. It holds temps well. They’re pretty happy with this item.

Doesn’t hold temp after first few months.
The media could not be loaded. I had read that people had issues with these keeping temp so I bought a temperature gauge to keep inside. The product worked well for about 3-4 months. For the last 2 weeks or so I’ve noticed the temp creeping up from the set temp. Now it is more than 15 degrees above the set temp. Completely unacceptable. Does not work after less than 6 months.WANT MY MONEY BACK. WILL RETURN TOUR CRAPPY PRODUCT.

Bad
Never got close to advertised temperature

It cools your Meds to recommended cooling
It should fit the meds I intend on storing in it during travel. Wish it had a latch to keep lid secure, do like the out side temp display.

Not great; not practical to use
--- The Good ---In optimal conditions, it works ( +/- 5 degrees) for 9 hours--- The Bad ---Temperature displayed does not reflect temperature inside; when the display said it was 35 the inside temp was actually 45; it took almost 20 minutes longer for the inside temperature to reach 35.Using the feet on the bottom on a floor in a room with air conditioning, the airflow wasn't sufficient and the temp shot up from 35F to 48F and never went back down from there. On a plane, you would have to hold this in the air; during takeoff, placed under the seat in front of you, the temp would begin climbing faster than the plane.--- Bottom Line ---If you can't trust the display, it's an unsafe product and should not be used.To test, I used a Combustion Inc precision wireless thermometer with 8 sensors. The first test had the cooler at a 45 degree angle to the floor propped up by the leg of a chair; about two hours in it slid off the leg and sat on the floor which caused the temperature to rise enough to make it unsafe.The second test had it suspended 8 inches in the air by a wire mesh. During that test, it managed to keep the temperature around 38F. The test was performed in a room without air conditioning and an open window. As the outside temperature began to fall at night, the internal temperature began fluctuating by 3-4F.As soon as the battery dies, the heatsink starts acting as a heater and temperature immediately shoots up.As another reviewer mentioned, you're probably better off using ice packs and a foam cooler.

very simple to operate
The media could not be loaded. One of the first things I noticed was how user-friendly the LCD touch screen is—it’s clear and easy to understand, giving me confidence that my insulin is stored safely. The device itself is almost silent, so it doesn’t add any noise to your surroundings, which is great if you’re using it at home or in a quiet environment.In terms of functionality, it’s very simple to operate. The buttons are straightforward, making it easy to set and monitor the temperature. For example, I typically set mine to 8℃, and the cooler quickly reaches that temperature in about 10 minutes. The cooling system is quite stable, though I did notice a slight variation—sometimes the internal temperature might be 1-2 degrees higher than what I set, so it’s worth keeping an eye on that. However, this minor fluctuation hasn’t impacted the quality of my insulin, and it’s still much more reliable than using ice packs, which I had to rely on before.The portability of the cooler is a big plus, especially with the included carrying case. The battery life is impressive, which makes it perfect for traveling or being on the go. I’ve found the USB charging option particularly handy when driving, as I can plug it into the car’s cigarette lighter, ensuring my insulin stays cool no matter how long the trip is. Previously, I could only carry one pen at a time with traditional coolers, and it was always a struggle to maintain a consistent temperature. Now, I can carry several pens or even bottles of insulin without worrying about them spoiling.That said, the cooler case isn’t without its downsides. It’s compact enough for home or car use, but if you’re planning to take it on a flight, it might feel a bit bulky. Personally, I find it slightly larger than I’d like for air travel, though it’s still manageable.

Very Bulky, Only Good For Specific Vials and Needles With Shallow Interior Box.
This is a very shallow insulin cooler case, shallow interior and bulky exterior that takes up a lot of room for what little we can put in it. I wanted to put things like small bottles of medicine in here as well but the lid wouldn’t close due to how shallow it is inside.Personally, I’d rather go with the old thermal bag and ice packs over this, will take up less space and fit what I want to fit inside of it.

Lasted a Month. I thought it was Great But Now I Don't Trust It At All.
For the past month I have been charging this, letting it run at a temperature and then seeing how long it could keep that temperature using just the battery. And no, I had all the vents open and exposed to allow as much airflow as possible to the base. So for a little under three weeks it worked and then I go to check it one day and its hot. Like if I had sensitive medication in there it would have been cooked and I probably wouldn't have known until it was too late. I don't know what part gave way since this product used thermoelectric cooling which is what is common in most portable coolers that do hot and cold.So after I saw that it was hot I tried to check the main display to see if the desired temperature changed but it did not. I unplugged it and took out the batteries to maybe let the internal capacitors discharge and reset somehow but when I went to try again it wasn't able to keep it cold any longer. Another thing that broke on me occurred on the first day when the case they provided broke because the zipper came right off (handle and base) entirely so that case was all but useless from then on as it was unfixableWhile I had this cooler operating it did a very good job at keeping things cold. Kept closed, it was able to chill to the lowest temperature and stay at it constantly for like a week. Obviously lower the temperature the more taxing it will be but it should be able to work within the range it was desired for without damaging itself. It was kept in a cool environment and as I said, the vents were fully exposed and not blocked. I think there is a serious design flaw in this product as it should turn off if it can't keep a set temperature so that it won't heat up like it did for me. If something like this were to happen and you were carrying a months supply of insulin or some other temperature dependent medication like HCG and it could destroy your entire supply. It has some great insulation on it and yet it is not smart enough to turn off to protect your medication. I wouldn't trust it.I can gladly send it back for inspection if asked but its probably the cooling fan that went on top of the heatsink. I don't want a replacement. I'm more bothered that there is no working failsafe implemented as it really should have one. I really was also hoping to be able to see the temperature displayed in Celsius but I couldn't figure out a way to change it despite trying some various button pressed so there is that too.The touchscreen buttons and screen all worked fine for me. Its a very simple device to figure out. I also thought it had a nice size and weight to it and I thought the parts seen upon opening the lid looked promising and did a good job at insulating.
