Does cooler have a drain plug?

No, there's no drain plug, which my daughter (gift recipient) says is a bit of a disadvantage, but she said she loves the cooler anyway. Since it's small, it's not hard to tip to drain. It probably insulates better than a Playmate.

I'm sorry Robert King, I cannot answer your question re: whether or not the cooler has a flat plug. I actually took out my user's manual and there isn't any mention of that in it. I can't look at the plug because it's an 'under counter' mount and I don't want to pull it out of there and disturb it. I wish I could, because I love this thing and would like to recommend it to you. Perhaps a call to the manufacturer could answer this question for you. Best wishes.

No, even if they did get plugged, it shouldn't really matter since it adds 7qts extra to the system, plus whatever Trans cooler that is being used. Those tubes don't do much for cooling, it's the added volume that is the benefit. That's why I bought it.

No but I installed the Corsair H80i Hydro Cooler & I had to remove the heatsink casing from the memory in the first socket.

Unfortunately, it comes with a power cord with an oversized plug. The plug takes up 2 slots on my power strip. Also, it is unfortunate that turning the cooler on/off is manual. There is a small switch on the front side of the cooler. If your receiver has a power supply that turns off/on with the receiver power, this would be ideal. Since my receiver does not have this ability, I just leave the cooler on low 100% of the time. The cooler is essentially 2 PC cooler fans. Another downer is the noise when using the cooler on high... you can hear it buzzing. I found that if I just leave mine on low, it works very well and does not make any noise.

I bought one 7 years ago and I love having no drain. I have had two Coleman coolers which have leaked on me around the drain in the back of my trunk. So I made sure the next cooler I bought did not have a drain. Its good for 1 or two people. Enjoy

It does not have a drain plug, we took off the cap, turned it on the side and drained it. It did leak some tho, so we have it filled with sand. Ours is made to drain it at the cap. We haven't had to empty the sand.

This has a good drain. It has a trough that is angled to the drain. My cooler out performed everyone's on my recent trip to the outer banks. Good cooler for the money.

No, It does not have a drain plug.. But I put one in myself, to make it easier to change the water without damaging the roots

Sorry, don't know. It plugs into the power plug on back of the unit, the power plug then plugs into the cooling fan.

Yes - it is plugged into a standard outlet. It works very well, and although I've had it for some time, it doesn't really need defrosting.

No drain - included is a wire cage so you can pull all out at one time. Not a problem for me, its strictly a freezer.

Yes, just a slight bit bigger than the cooler . It is a great cooler my second one.

I bought mine several years ago and don't even have it any longer, but no, I don't remember any drain plug.

Yes. I've always used mine for the cooler (truck driver) but it does plug in the other way for heat. The plug is color coded blue/red for cold and hot.

No it does not have a drain plugand in hotter climates it breaks down rather rapidly i live in florida and the sun did a job on the seams in no to time.

It has to be pluged to a power source continuously which is inconvenient. When a cooler is not pluged in, the content will get to ambient temp very quickly.
