Think about this for a minute; maybe you wish you could have the convenience of your home fridge even when you’re away from home, so that you can keep foods and drinks cold for hours. Well, now you can. You can have something that uses the best of both fridge and cooler, and it’s called the Cooler Fridge.

The Cooler that’s a Fridge

Before the invention of the refrigerator, you stored things in the icehouse or cellar. Unfortunately, because these things were dependent on the weather, people usually had nice cold drinks in the winter, but only “lake chilled” drinks in the summer. You couldn’t store perishable foods, either, but had to eat them immediately. You couldn’t store excess food that was perishable, either, which was a major drawback.

The invention of the fridge revolutionized family lives and industries. Perishable food could be stored for later. Food could be bought in bulk and stored in the fridge. The fridge, however, was invented ahead of the cooler.

The first metal cooler invented in the 1940s was a smart but simple solution to a problem. To keep drinking water cold, people relied on ice cubes or drinks chilled in the fridge. But the fridge couldn’t be towed to work and ice melted fast. The invention of the cooler also changed lifestyles. The fridge kept food and drinks cold longer – 24/7 but cold food and drinks had a shorter life span in coolers. Combine the features of the two and you have your fridge and cooler in one.

Cooling Excellence

Today, the market is rife with coolers, with brands like Igloo Coolers among the first on the market. Since the 1940s, Igloo has been manufacturing coolers. These coolers have changed looks over time, too, to reflect updated styling, although the classics remain with some additions and alterations that are welcome.

One of them is the Igloo FRW 154 16, a cooler for wine bottles that works like a cooler and fridge, both. You can secure wine bottles in this, and they are kept at the right temperature. It has a streamlined look and compact design, which makes it a great fit in the bar area. Its framed Glass Cooler door and invisible handle mean you don’t need to check wine bottles frequently by opening the door.

Choosing Your Cooler/Fridge

Size is always a factor when shopping for your cooler-cum-fridge. If you entertain a lot a 16 bottle cooler/fridge is a practical choice. You do not need a unit that can house 16 bottles of wine if just enjoy an occasional wine. Bigger sized coolers/fridges use more electrical power.

Authorized outlets have cooler/fridge models for purchase, and you can also buy them online. Stay cool when you’re shopping by doing your shopping online and compare prices to get the best deals. In this way, you can find the perfect cooler/fridge to fit your needs.

Ask about packaging when you order your Igloo cooler/fridge. That’s because it can be nicked or have the handle damaged during transport. If you can shop locally, you can manage the packaging and transport yourself.

A cooler/fridge is a wise investment if you frequently give parties or love to have a glass of wine after every now and then. Champagne keeps well in the right temperature of the cooler/fridge and you are ready to serve them should friends pop in.

Remember a time during outdoor parties when you wish you could have help serving drinks to friends? Well, you can. Today’s coolers have actually gone “robotic.” Simply push the wireless remote button, and the Ice Coolers will do the serving — giving friends cool drinks whenever and wherever you want it to, so that you can stay cool during the hottest summer days.

RC Cooler Remote

Now, you can keep your drinks cold up to a 30 RC range, all by remote control. This new little gadget can hold up to 12 drinks, and it’s the Interactive Toy cooler. It’ll travel and four different directions for you, whether right or left, forward or reverse, and go up to 30 feet in range. This robot is powered by C batteries for up to six hours. The only drawback is that the batteries are rechargeable and you don’t get them free with purchase.

The specs are zippered lid to regulate insulation, expandable, collapsible for storage, removable shoulder straps, and scoots efficiently indoors or outdoors on flat surfaces.

If you have small children, be careful with the robot around them. The cooler has small parts that can be hazardous for little ones. These should be kept out of reach when not in use, and stored safely. The cooler should only be used on flat, smooth surfaces, not on rough or sloping terrain. It’s very efficient, but is best used during parties or barbecues that are held on places like the patio — flat, level surfaces.

A Different Cooling Cooler Power

Coolers are in high demand, and now, you can keep both the air inside your home cooler and keep your laptop cooler, too. Both in terms of cost and quality, this cooler is worth your investment because it will keep your laptop cooler by 5.6 degrees, which keeps both you and your price investment — your laptop — much cooler. No more overheated laptops.

Another cooling power is the cooling fan. The cooling fan works on evaporative technology with sponge-based water filter. This fan does not heat up, thus it is perfect for people who suffer allergies or have breathing difficulties. The small hand-held cooler is portable and can be used on the desktop. This battery operated cooler is USB and power socket compatible.

Beat the heat with a portable air cooler. This is a must-have for everyone who can’t stand the heat at work or outdoors. What’s with this cooler? This can be used without fuss for hiking, biking, or golf. The heavy-duty internal pump pressurizes water to a fine mist. You get cool, not soaked. To use, this is attached to a belt or backpack. On a bike, hook it up to the bike’s frame. This piece measures 10 inches in height and 3 inches in diameter. This is just for personal cooling relief though.

If the heat is too much for you and you can’t get away from it — and you don’t want to put up with your laptop or CPU overheating anymore, these coolers can help you take care of this problem. Ice cold drinks, a cooling fan, and a cooler for your CPU or laptop are always you can handle the heat and cool down. These items can be ordered online from reputable websites, or you can purchase them from regular brick-and-mortar stores, too.
