Can this sit in a trunk of a car for hours and still keep the food cold?

I've never tested it that way. In a room of normal temp I would say yeah it will stay cold. It depends on how hot it is outside. Keep in mind you only have the ice packs in the main food compartment, so everything in the side cups will warm faster.

Depends on how many hours you're talking about. I've left mine in the front of my car for 1-2 hours and my stuff was still cool but I use a thicker gel pack and put it in the center compartment only. The ones it comes with are pretty thin so I wouldn't trust leaving it in a trunk for an extended period of time.

Yes, the cake should be fine for an hour. Actually I put a gallon of milk in our cooler and accidentally left it in the trunk of our Prius overnight. The next morning it was still cool!

I seriously doubt that it will last that long. A few hours is the most I'd use it to keep food cold or hot.

The bag is big enough to hold the 2 large fast food bags and it has extremely thick insulation, so it should be able to keep the food warm for 2 or more hours.

It keeps whatever you have in it cold up to 4 or 5 hours. Never put ant freeze bags in there. I'm sure it you want to leave it longer it would be a good idea to put some in there. I am very pleased with the flip box. The only problem I have found it be careful when you close and open it back up for storage. Very fragile

It depends on the environment. In a normal office, it has kept milk cold in the side pouch up to 8 hours. Food in the containers about the same amount of time if not longer. The side pouches are susceptible to surrounding heat far more than the main compartment. In the office, I would say food would be kept cold for up to 10 hours. I would say if you are keeping it in the car all day during the summer, maximum of three hours.

Yes it will stay reasonable cold if yo dont open it, Try it yourself to see what ya think.

Yes, it can. It doesn't keep things warm as long as it keeps them cold though. I'm pretty sure that's normal for thermos type stuff though.

The only way would be not to put the ice pack in the bottom of the feeder, if you don't live in a warm climate it would probably be ok for a few hours. Or depending on how long the food will sit in there, time it so by the time your cat eats it the refrigerated food would return to room temperature. I try to keep the food cool, I'm afraid of food poisoning for the cat if the food sits out warm too long.

The insulated pouch does not keep items cold more than 6 hours. It is Ok for short trips.

Yes, but it doesn't stay as hot as something cold would stay cold. It's still very good for short trips, school, etc.

You can keep it in your car, but realize that cold temps will make it much weaker if and when needed. Keeping it charged is the biggest factor in making it last, so keep that up if you want it to have a chance at working.

A long time. I can leave it in the hot car for an hour and I'll still have ice.

The cooler bag is insulated but is not designed to maintain heat for several hours. A thermos is recommended for keeping hot food hot. Additionally, I do not recommend putting an extremely hot container inside the cooler bag as the inside could be damaged by excessive heat. If a cold lunch is packed, an ice block should be included to maintain a cold temp for several hours. Food should already be chilled when packed. Do not store in the sun or a hot car. - Kelly Lester, ceo, EasyLunchboxes

Generally, the lunchbox is quite good at keeping things cool. There is a removable plastic tray that fits snugly into the outside rectangular box. I make my lunches the night before, then store the tray in the fridge overnight. When I put the tray in the outer box in the morning, everything is very cold and seems to stay chilled until lunchtime. I think the silicon seal acts as a bit of an insulating layer. If I wanted to keep foods cold for more than a few hours, or if the weather were really hot, I would put the entire lunch box inside a soft-sided lunch bag along with an ice-pack. However, this makes it pretty cumbersome for the kids, who then have two separate containers to open (and lose!) which is another reason I don't find this lunchbox very practical.

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!

Wouldn't use the product for cold storage for a weekend. Tight fit for even one persons foodstufs. Good for an overnight. I use mine on the road as I'm traveling and restock it as needed. It works great if you place a frozen bottle of water with your other goods. At the end of a long trip I find the frozen bottle still frozen and all the other food and drink cold as when I started. I like the product very much
