Can I let this rest on the bottom of a plastic cooler?

It should not be a problem using in a plastic cooler. I use it in a plastic 5 gallon bucket. I guess the key is to keep the element (round base) under water when plugged in. Also be sure to keep the black plastic cap, which the cord attaches to, out of the water. As the element heats the water, the water rises to the top and colder water sinks to the bottom to be heated. As far a resting the element on the bottom of the cooler, it is protected by a metal cage and shouldn't melt the container. Semper Fi. :)

Yes but it will not damage the plastic. The best thermos I have ever purchased!

You could, but you would have to stay with a rather small pre-filled cooler, fans would have to mount to the top, no room any place else. Check it out, I think Thermaltake makes a water cooler that will fit, ask them, they are very helpful.

Yes, but you have less space in the net basket. We put a medium size cooler under the basket without problems.

Not at all. If the unit getting hot, place a cooler box under, like a lap top.

I use mine as separators. I have a soft side cooler on one side and tools on the other. It keeps the cooler from being damaged.

I doubt it. The walls of the cooler are likely too thick. This is meant for a bucket.

So long as you allow air space around it to avoid heat build up. I have my coolers with about 2 inches behind and 6+ inches above.

The cooler has clip down feet..... if you size up a few washers you could bolt it down with screws but it would be ugly...

You could if you set it up on the side with the cooling unit on top but the melted water would run out on the floor when opened. You could use dry ice on the included basket / shelf, but be careful of frozen condensation on the inside cooling fins. It will make a racket and overheat the fan motor.

I don't think it would work well at all. It's quite deep and the bottom is a plastic but cardboard-like panel that is not flush against all sides (there's a little gap but definitely suitable to keep garbage from falling out). It's quite possible the panel would fracture under the weight of ice as well.

Yes. I sit mine down like a regular cooler and it works just fine. However, it will condensate and collect some water in the bottom if the humidity is high.

I have for short periods, but it may not be a good idea. The heating/cooling element is on the side of the cooler. I would imagine if the ice melted enough that water got in there, it could damage it. Maybe if you did ice in milk jugs or something.

Yes! There is a drain in back near the bottom. Also, I used this cooler for a week-long camping event last summer and it did well.

Not sure, I guess just screw it into the bottom if you have enough clearance below.

If I recall correctly I could bottom mount it with the intake fan up or down so I would assume there would be no problems with top mounting it. Though if you mounted it with the intake fan pointing down you would be pulling hot air from inside the case so it is not preferable but it would probably work fine as a lot of proprietary pc's do that.

The interior shelves are removable. The bottom also has a removable wire rack under that is plastic which has some formed ridges not very high depending on what you wanted to cool you might be able to remove the rack for storage. This is only a cooler not a refrigerator.
