Wagan Tech Personal Fridge/Warmer | 6 Quart
Why Choose The Wagan Tech 6-Quart Personal Fridge/Warmer?
Unlike a traditional cooler that depends on ice, this portable unit uses thermoelectric technology to cool or warm its contents using heat exchange. Simply connect it to a 12V DC power source, choose your desired mode, and let the unit work while you travel. With a 6.3-quart capacity and weighing only 4.8 pounds, it's easy to bring along wherever your day takes you.

12V DC Operation For Life On The Road
This unit operates from a 12V DC power source and is designed for portable vehicle use. It draws a nominal 4 amps with a maximum input power of 48 watts and includes a fused 8-amp plug for operation from a compatible vehicle power outlet.
Thermoelectric Design For Ice-Free Convenience
Because it uses thermoelectric technology, there's no need to fill the unit with ice. That means more usable storage space and no melting ice to manage. For the best cooling or warming performance, pre-chilling or pre-heating your food and beverages before placing them inside can help the unit reach its operating temperature more quickly.
Real-World Applications
The Wagan Tech Personal Fridge/Warmer is well suited for people who spend time on the road and want convenient access to temperature-controlled food and beverages.

- RV adventures

How It Compares To Traditional Coolers
A standard ice cooler requires ice that eventually melts and reduces available storage space. The Wagan Personal Fridge/Warmer eliminates that need by using a thermoelectric cooling and warming system powered from a 12V DC source.
It's important to note that this is not a compressor-style refrigerator. Cooling performance depends on the surrounding ambient temperature, and the unit is designed to cool to approximately 36°F below ambient conditions rather than maintain a user-selected thermostat setting.
