How well does it keep cool once unplugged?

Depends on the outside temperatures. If cold, then it's ok for overnight. When mine stopped working, I put a bag of ice cubes in it and it kept pretty well, so it is well insulated. Hope that helps.

I'm some what disappointed in it because it only gets medium cool not cold at all.

It has a cooling fan that runs constantly so I unplug it. The batteries seem to hold a charge for a long time so I don't bother leaving it plugged in. Most of the time it rides in the trunk of the car anyway. Take care

I do not know from personal experience the answer and we did not leave it plugged in at night but depending on the temperature in the car the unit holds a cool temperature very well and we often left it for 6 to 8 hours disconnected because I had a borrowed car and was afraid it might draw down the battery. We really liked the unit. It is ideal for a road trip.

I'd say it stays cool just as long as my igloo cooler. I usually freeze some small water bottles to keep in the cooler when it's not plugged in.

I have been using mine for over a year and have never unplugged it, works great.

So far I have only had it plugged into the AC to 12v adapter in the house and it maintains a temperature that fluctuates between about -3 and -8 deg F easily. I would expect it would do as well plugged into a lighter receptacle in 80 degree temperatures. It might not get all the way to the -8 max cold in 90 degree temps in the direct sun but it would probably be able to maintain 0 at least. I will eventually be using mine in a motor home full time and I'm sure it will keep my pizzas frozen rock solid. :0)

I charge two devices at once and it stays cool to the touch. I believe it won't get hot if it's well ventilated.

Haven't used it for 4 years. I used it on a road trip when the car motor ran continually. I don't think I left it plugged in when the car was not running. It did a good enough job keeping things cool so they wouldn't spoil.

Although I keep the enclosure permanently connected to a computer, that computer isn't powered on 100% of the time. If your question is in regards to the reliability of this enclosure, there shouldn't be any problem with it. It is extremely quiet and never gets even warm to the touch.

I've never left it unattended. I've had the thermostat stick and had the temperature up to 80 degrees and had to jar unit to get it to stop heating.

No sorry to say. My husband get everything real cold then unplugs so it does not freeze. Just don't forget to plug back in!!

No it gets pretty warm when you plug it in and that's how it's designed to evaluate the moisture. It is not meant to be plugged in all the time.

I use it primarily unplugged unless I am on for extended periods of time. Occasionally I have had too much data combined with long periods of use that require I plug it in because it gets so hot.

It stays on all the time when plugged in (no on/off switch). But it's a gentle warm, similar to the hat heating pads you might use indoors.

Yes! We barely ever leave it unplugged. It works pretty good but the video has cut out twice in the last month and not come back on. Kind of nerves wrecking when you want to know when your baby wakes up and the screen in blank because it malfunctions

No this iron will continue to be hot until you unplug it. Hope this helps ☺

No. After use I unplug from electricity. I use this only once a moth to backup my computers.
