How long would you say items are kept cold. Looking for something with an 8 hour time frame...

I send lunch with our daughter, and there is an ice pack with it. When she gets home, it is not still frozen- or cold for that matter. I pack her lunch at 8:30, and she gets home at 4:00. I am sure it keeps until 12:00, which is all I really need. May I suggest a small Igloo cooler, instead? I can say that it is a great, sturdy product. Easy to clean- no smelly cracks that don't clean well. I am very happy with it, and it will last for years.

Youshould get 18-24 hours of cold from these ice packs. When travelling I usually re-froze my packs over nights. Even in the hotels I stayed in I was able to request a refrigerator that kept the packs cold enough to use the next day,all day. Hope this helped.

I purchased 2 bottles of this item on 11/28/2012, they are suppose to be refrigerated. I received it on 12/3/2012 with nothing cold on it at all, just plastic, to hold the items in place. Thank you.

I personally use an artificial ice pack (Nordic Ice) and keep it in an insulated lunch bag with a little newspaper covering it. Then if your motel or hotel has a freezer in a room refrigerator just refreeze it. Otherwise it will last a couple of days easy.

I agree with Hana - if the bus is regulated temperature, the items will no longer be frozen after 7-8 hours. At about 3 hours, frozen items begin to get soft (I transport frozen or cold food in this bag every weekend on a 3 hour drive.) You might look into using dry ice for packing.

The refrigerator works very well. It take it about 8 hours to reach a stable cold temperature, but once it reach it, you could certainly keep milk and eggs at an optimum temperature as a regular home refrigerator. I have ran mine for more than one week without complains.

Yes! Absolutely. I would say you have coldness for about 6-8 hours. But this is a mini cooler and not very large. I would order this in the next size up unless you are using it for snacks or a preschooler.

To keep items in the refrigerator cold as long as possible when the power goes out it is important to keep the door to the refrigerator closed as long as possible. The cool packs are just that cool - not cold. Out in the open air they only last about 5 minutes so they would only be a temporary measure at best.

I travel about 1 hour each way to the store and back. I am assuming you are wanting to transport an ice cream cake. If that is the case I would freeze 2 - 20 ounce. Soda bottles to let the cooler get cold. If the day time temperature is in the mid-80s or above I would cover the box with an old quilt or blanket for additional indulagoon. I think this foldable cooler is a fantastic product.

I haven't tried, but the walls of the larger container are filled with a freezing agent, and do keep things cold for the 4 hours before my daughter eats lunch. I would probably go with a standard, stainless steel thermos container if you need to keep something cold for 6 hours.

No...it won't keep anything cold for 7 hours. This bag was a waste of money. I bought a pack-it and I love it!

If you keep your cold packs on the frig and not the freezer you won't have any freezing problem. I have immunology serums that I keep for a trip that involves an overnight stay and the serums are still cool when I'' able to put them back in my frig.

Similar weather to where I am. It will get cool in about 2 hrs. If the drinks are cold going into unit they will lose some coolness within first hour then be maintained at that temperature until around 2 hrs when they start to really cool down. Long trips or short stops will keep it all KOOL

I'm not sure about the "best" way. Some recommend refrigerating, but I figured that wasn't needed until after the bag was opened, so that's what I do. They only last a month or so. Freezing is probably good for longer periods. I just store the new bags in the pantry.

I wouldn't know specifics but I've put one in my insulated lunch bag and it lasts many hours. One day it was still frozen when I came home (9 hours later) . I normally don't use them for that, I use them for a shoulder sling with an ice pack slot.
