Product Information

The Mestic MHC-40 is a 42-litre hybrid cool box that adapts to how it is powered. On 12V it works as a thermoelectric cooler, bringing contents up to 20C below the surrounding temperature.

Plugged into 230V it switches to compressor cooling and can freeze down to -15C, so it doubles as a freezer at home or on site. An infinitely adjustable thermostat lets you dial in the temperature you need.
