Q.Portable Refrigeration Systems For Your Car

[URL="https://www.zigwheels.com/forum/profile/40"]Praveen[/URL] Soft drinks, Praveen. Soft drinks, Red Bull and water chilled on a long drive ;-). I have been toying with the idea of a car fridge for my road trips. So far I have only seen one from Tropicool that is fairly decent. But the one you have posted about does seem interesting. Considering it can work off the car inverter, it's worth it. The Tropicool one though comes with a 12V power plug, unlike this one, which requires a separate car inverter.

So I was surfing online, looking for a small sized refrigerator. Flipkart's 'The Big Billion days' caught my attention and I discovered this interesting product called Chotukool from Godrej. It is basically a thermoelectric cooler which sustains low temperature. Apparently, the device can cool up to 28 degrees below room temperature and is battery operated. The company claims that it can also stay cool for upto three hours even when there's no power supply. Chotukool maintains temperature at 10'c, which I think is enough for basic stuff like milk, vegetables, etc. This solid state cooling device weighs only around 7 kg and consumes 62 watts of power. I feel this device would be ideal for people like me and would also be perfect for our Zigdrives as it can be charged using car inverter.

The product was sold at a much lower price than Flipkart. The actual price in Flipkart was Rs. 6,990 and after discount, it amounted to Rs. 5,400. Whereas on the official website, Chotukool is available only for Rs. 4,739 (for the designer variant), exclusive of taxes. So, when it comes to pricing, there is a difference of around Rs. 600. I'm not sure if Flipkart's pricing is legitimate. Here's the screen grab: [ATTACH=CONFIG]n18925[/ATTACH] Yes, prices change according to the visual specifications but such big discrepancy in the pricing by Flipkart is something worrying. What do you guys think? Apart from that, I think this product would be perfect to keep your beer chilled in long drives. :)
