Looking for a lightweight cool box to take with you on day trips? Then this Mestic thermoelectric cooler is the ideal choice! It cools to 20 °C below ambient temperature, making it suitable for holiday destinations with mild temperatures. Whether on the road or at the destination, the MTEC-28 keeps up to 26 L of contents cool.
Thermoelectric cool box 12 V and 230 V
If you choose Mestic’s thermoelectric cool box, you are choosing a cool box that is ideal for day trips. Easily take it to the beach or a picnic, for example, thanks to its light weight of 4.5 kg. The cooling capacity of the Mestic MTEC-28 is also suitable for holiday destinations with mild summer temperatures. After all, the portable electric cool box with 12 V and 230 V connection cools up to 20 °C below ambient temperature. And the high-quality insulation ensures that the achieved temperature is maintained for a long time. Nevertheless, we recommend having drinks and food already cooled when you place them in the cool box. That is how you make the most of the cooling power and avoid unnecessary energy consumption. The electric cool box also features an energy-saving eco mode.

Use this quick guide to understand which Mestic cool box suits you,
your trips, vehicle and power setup.
Cooling performance & temperature range
This shows how cold the cool box can get and how well it holds that
temperature in warm weather. A wider temperature range and stronger
cooling performance are ideal if you’re travelling in hot climates,
want to keep meat and dairy safely chilled, or need a cool box that
can work more like a small camping fridge.
Compressor or thermoelectric technology
Compressor cool boxes offer powerful, fridge-like cooling and are a
good choice for longer trips and off-grid use. Thermoelectric models
are lighter and more affordable, and suit shorter breaks, day trips
and keeping drinks cold on the road. The technology type affects
cooling power, noise level and energy use.
Capacity (litres) & usable space
Capacity in litres tells you how much the cool box can hold. Think
about how many people you’re packing for and how long you’re away.
Look at the internal layout too – baskets, dividers and bottle-height
space make it easier to organise food and drink without wasting usable
room inside the box.
Power options (12V / 230V / other)
Power inputs show where you can run your cool box: from a 12V cigar
socket in the car, a 230V mains hook-up on site, or in some cases via
an inverter or solar setup. If you move between driving, wild camping
and EHU pitches, a dual-voltage 12V and 230V cool box gives you the
most flexibility.
Energy efficiency & battery protection
Power consumption indicates how hard the cool box draws on your
vehicle or leisure battery. Lower wattage and efficient compressors
are better for off-grid camping, small solar systems and longer
stays. Built-in battery protection modes help prevent the cool box
from flattening your starter battery, so you can still start the
engine when it’s time to head home.
Size, weight & portability
External dimensions, handles and overall weight tell you how easy the
cool box is to move and where it will fit. If you often carry it from
the vehicle to a pitch, beach or awning, look for robust handles,
wheels (where fitted) and a size that suits your boot, campervan or
motorhome garage space.
28L Family Cool Box
Extra space for bigger days out and small family trips. 28L lets you pack tall bottles,
picnic food and drinks for 3–4 people without the cool box feeling oversized.
Trip size: Weekend camping, festivals and all-day outings.
Who it suits: Small families or friends sharing one cool box.
Packing feel: Enough room for “everyone’s favourites” in one place.
Power options: Swap between 12V on the move and 230V on hook-up.
Real benefit: More capacity than smaller models while still easy to carry and store.
