Review of Cooper Cooler HC02.C Rapid Beverage Chiller Tailgater 120V / 12V

Unlike some reviewers, I found that this product fulfilled my expectations completely.The noise while the Cooper Cooler was operating did not seem any louder than the noise a microwave makes while running.While water and ice must be added to the cooler, the amount of ice recommended will actually cool several drinks.Far less ice is required than the manual recommends if you only want to cool one, two, even three or four drinks.Additionally, the tailgating model's adapter comes with an extra-long cord so that you're not forced to sit in the front seat of a car while using it, risking spilling water and ice all over the place.I bought this product as a gift for my brother, but have had ample experience using his, and will probably buy one for myself.

Review of Cooper Cooler HC01-A Rapid Beverage Chiller, White and Grey

When I saw this, I knew right away from my college beer drinking days that this would work very well.We used to buy crushed ice and lay hot beer cans on their side and spun them until cold.The drawback: you had to spin them yourself.What I wouldn't have given to have access to a device that provided the fastest and most effective cooling possible.

Pros:
-Works very well (but only if you load as much ice as possible)
-Works very quickly
-Small
-Handles cans, beer bottles, wine bottles, and even odd shaped stuff like juice boxes that you don't want to spin
-A surprising number of settings to suit your taste
-Did a lot of research.As of 8/1/2006 could not find anything even remotely close to this good.
-Spinning IS NOT shaking, so soda and beer do not explode
-Uses ice, not a liner that needs 8 hours of freezer time, both convenient and a space saving option
-Items are not submerged under icy water like other competing units, so you don't have to dredge for your drink in cold water

Cons:
-No power off switch... in standby you get flashing lights on the front which is annoying
-Relatively loud, does not appear to have slow roll option to reduce noise
-Paper labels on wine bottles get beaten up pretty badly, bits of paper come off (bottle becomes unsightly)
-Draining water requires you to unplug at the wall and carry to a sink (unlike my espresso maker which has a lift out chamber)
-Requires a power source, not portable unless you are handy and build a battery with gusto (which I can do, but most wouldn't try)
-Wine bottles tend to drip a little on the counter as the cold ice water is pumped on them, so we have to put a trivet or thick potholder under the front two feet to help discourage dripping on the counter.

I am considering adding a "roll" switch so that I can turn the unit off without unplugging which is an easy modification anyone can do (one a scale of 1 to 10, it's a 1, or really cheap and easy).

Bottom line: Despite cons, I recommend this item.Had it a year and still going, popular at parties.

Review of Cooper Cooler Rapid Beverage Chiller, Brushed-Silver

Designed by Cooper Union engineering students who proved it was the most efficient way to chill beverages, the Cooper Cooler never fails to fascinate those guests who turn up at your barbecue with warm beer, wine, or soda.Happily, it also never fails to chill your potables to the core.Be warned, however, that you will consume a lot of ice in the process.(Since this device does not actually perform any refrigeration, you provide a mixture of water and ice which it cascades over the spinning container.The ice melts completely after only a few chilled cans, or one bottle of wine.)

Another caveat, which may not have mattered to those in the engineering lab, is that this thing is hell on paper labels, what with the constant water, and the traction from the rubber wheels.You may then choose not to spin the bottle, but it will take approximately twice as long to chill your beverage.

Such is life.
