MakitaDCW180Z 18V X2 LXT® Lithium-Ion, 12V/24V DC Auto, and AC Cooler/Warmer, Tool Only

The price was a tad bit high but the quality and convenience were exceptional.I use this for trips and groceries. It's great for keeping foods frozen without having to hurry home when it's hot outside.

While sweating it out in the hot summer sun and putting all my cordless Makita tools through their paces a fellow worker asked about my one of a kind new Makita cooler. “So, is it worth every penny?” I had happened to mention how many pennys that was. And so I had to admit that no, I can’t say that it is. So many of those old pennies just had to accept the great sacrifice that was their fate. But is it cool? Damn right it is! Frigid cool! An oasis in a desert of baked overworked good ol’ boys and gals.One commented that I could have bought a full sized fridge for that cost. Sure, but one that would run on 18v Makita batteries?Put its powers to the test on an adventure: day long mid summer bike ride. The cooler easily found room to travel along to the trailhead. It then waited patiently as the car reached temps well over 100 degrees F. Plugging into DC outlet could mean no ride home. But giving the cooler the simple boost of two 18v batteries was enough. After 15 hours the cooler was at 54 degrees. Cold drinks never tasted so good!“Worth it” is all relative…

I love it!!!

Ben using this every dayall summer works pretty good but will definitely go though some battery’s in the heat works a lot better in the shadeAlso smaller than I had thought it would beBut still holds a fair amount because you don’t have to put iceWill pay for itself in what I was spending in iceAlso glad it has the dc 12v plug use it a lot in the back seat of my truck

It’s pretty heavy, pretty expensive, and the batteries last only a few hours (if on freezer and in a warm environment)… but what else is going to do this job?I use it to keep ice packs frozen for a migraine sufferer during road trips and it does that, so it’s improved our life dramatically. The cigarette lighter and 120v power makes powering it for days a nonissue. But once the ice packs are used it can take days to refreeze in this thing, so we still need to stay in places with full size freezers overnight.Just a note: this will not charge batteries so you still need to bring a charger on trips. It does empty one battery before switching to the next battery. So that’s neat.

Does what it claims…good for job sites to picnics…

The media could not be loaded. Por primera vez una herramienta de Makita me deja con la boca abierta. 😮 jamás pensé que esta nevera congelará de esa manera trabajando con baterías 18v trabaja muy bien la recomiendo. Es muy cara entiendo que el precio lo pueden mejorar y es verdad consume mucha batería pero me gusta. Y la compañía que la compre muy buena me llegó en pocos días. Gracias

This is nowhere near the quality of Dometic CXF, but Dometic doesn't run on battery.1. It is loud, and compressor is alway running.2. Second battery always lost connection don't know it has poor wiring or design defaults..3. DC only, yes it comes with a huge AC adapter.4. power hungry. battery life is poor than you expect, barely 5hr on two brand new 5.0AH battery on 0F in 70F room temp.5. know what you needs and this unit provide options no other portable fridge has.
