Rank #6 in Best Electric Cool Box 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why the Litre Count Misleads
Igloo IE27 Electric Cool Box, 26L or 27L, 12V
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Igloo IE27 DC is the sixth entry in this guide, and it shows the guide's central point in miniature. The product title calls it a 26-litre box; the first bullet says 27 litres; the Capacity field says 27 litres; the Size field says 27 L. That one-litre gap is narrower than the ones on the TZS boxes above it, but it is the same habit — the number in the title is not the number in the specification, and nothing in the listing explains which one describes usable space.
A second figure does not hold up either. The IE27 is given as 29.6cm deep, 39.6cm wide and 44.4cm high, yet the Chamber Depth field reads 45 centimetres — deeper than the box that would contain it. Elsewhere the Igloo is a grey 12V cool box weighing 3.9kg, rated 4.1 out of 5 from 270 ratings, sold at £59.82 with a two-year warranty and the connection cable stowed in the lid. Every figure on this page is taken from the Amazon listing for this product; we have not tested it ourselves.
