Once you turn off the cooler, how long does it remain chilled inside? For example if taking on a plane and had a 1.5 hour flight?

about an hour or 2 depends on how cold the item was when you put it in there

easily for a few hours, a flight would be a breeze to keep it chilled - but remember with FAA rules you cannot bring beverages on board- but for medicines or baby'smilk, etc youd be fine. We absolutely love it- take it on car trips a lot and the beach and it stays cold for a long time- ice packs also hold well inside if you know there will be a long period of time it wont be plugged in. We also bought a $30 converter with it that you can plug into a regular outlet a lot of planes have plugs nowadays too. So, if it is for medicine if you cal lthe airlines theyd find a seat for you that has an outlet too- enjoy!

To be honest, I've never left it unplug for too long without ice packs inside. That way, the stuff inside never gets cold.

It stays pretty cold. If you are worried at all, I would put in one or two small ice packs just for extra chilling.

it doesn't make it cold but it does cool it down. The ice melts just the same as it would sitting out. so about an hour or so depending on where you have it sitting.

They will turn solid when frozen and slowly thaw. If you keep them in a good insulated cooler they should stay frozen for the flight

Depends on how long you leave it in. Normally it's not hot after 5 to 6 hours inside the Thermos. You can easily take it out by hand.

Think of a regular cooler with food in it that is cool, but not cold, and with no ice. If it is hot outside, not long at all. If you unplug it for the evening, keep it shut, and it is not too hot outside, then it will keep reasonable cool (not cold enough for milk, but enough for chees and vegetables). We did this most nights while camping.

Hi. I have never tried to keep the ice pack in the cooler bag for more than 7 hrs. So im really not sure how to answer your question. I really doubt though, that the ice can last that long

Don't know - the cooler did not last, the wheels and handle broke when I used it for airline travel!

Ours will last 6 to 8 hours. This cooler is nice but does not as well in very humid areas if outside.

It cools down till about 15-20 C degrees lower than the temperature outside. so... if you keep it in hot environment it will not cool at all... For example if outside is 40 C so inside of your cooler you will have ]20C! not so cool.... so it depends. I use it when I travel and the temperature is always cool 10C or lower.

I have only used it for cold items. With an ice pack it stays cold for about 6 hours.

I flew to England with it and put my pens in there, the ice pack I used kept it cold for 8 hours, on the way back they kindly put it in there fridge. I love it.

Technically the answer is no. Because the cooler isn't a freezer the inside temperature will be higher than a freezer. But with that said, this will keep things cold for a long time. I brought this to the desert once and after sitting in the sun for days there was still some ice left, no much ice, but impressive none the less.

we planned to use it in the car (12 volts) during daytime driving and then plug it in with the AC adapter at night in hotels. We found that the AC adapter was noisy and got scary hot in hotel rooms so we just quit using it that way and anyway the hotel room usually had a fridge. It takes a couple of hours to cool off when used in the car, after that it keeps cold for the rest of the day. It should work for you that way.

If U R asking Can U take it with U while traveling. It depends on the weather, how cold or hot. I keep it in a cool place such as in a motel room with air conditioning as opposed 2 in a hot car. Don't know how long it survives if no refrigeration over several days. We like this product b/c it has 12 strains in it & take 1 morning & night each day.

It will not be as good if it is not chilled. The colder the better. You must take ice cubes or frozen pack with you. It can be set out butshould be chilled 12 hrs in the fridge. Hope this helps.

As soon as the cooling cycle stops. I think that is usually about ten minutes

No, it doesn't use phase change cooling. Just freeze the ice packs overnight for 12 hours and keep them refrigerated until time to use. How long it lasts varies depending on heat in the surrounding climate. In a humid climate that is between 85°F and 98°F with a relative humidity of between 65% to 96%, it lasted around 2 hours on average. At worst case (98°F and 96% RH), it lasted maybe 1.5 hours. We wore it over our t-shirts and polo shirts and didn't find it "too cold" although if you're the "sensitive" type, you might.
