Cardboard Box Coolers Are Perfect for Any Summer Barbecue

These cardboard coolers are a must for any summer event: smart, green, recyclable and can fit 35 lbs worth of beer and goodies. It’s like a cross between the heavy duty plastic coolers and the disposable styrofoam ones…but better.

Beer Cooler Sous Vide: The Not Exactly Right Way to Do It Yourself

I applaud Serious Eats for attempting sous vide in a beer cooler, but the adventurous article didn’t convince me that the mass sous vide revolution would come via Coleman or Igloo. Remember, sous vide cooking consists of holding water at a specific temperature, and immersing vacuum-sealed food into that water, cooking it right up to…

Thermaltake’s V1 Cooler is Half Artwork, Half Airy Lungs For Your CPU

Current gadget design tends to favor minimalism… but that’s simply not true for this Thermaltake V1 cooler. Ohoho no. The Thermaltake designer who came up with this must’ve been an artist in a former career. Just look at it: so detailed, organically-shaped and glittery it’s an artwork. And one you’d surely have to show off…

MacBook Pro Cooler Design Has USB Ports, Apple Fan

Although laptop coolers are all pretty mediocre when it comes down to cooling, this cooler design from Bostjan Majcen actually looks quite nice. The fan in the middle is hidden behind an Apple logo—which pleases the Apple fans—and the body itself has four USB ports and a tilted, lifted stand so you can see your…

Thermo MP3 Cooler Plays Tunes, Keeps Drinks Cold

Going on a trip? Forget those standard plastic coolers. This Thermo MP3 cooler can keep 16 cans at 40 degrees F, but that’s not the best part. The best part is the two speakers on the front that can take in any MP3 player and pump out your tunes while you’re out camping. All this…

Cooler Scoop Prevents Ice Hands

You know how you get the Han Solo shivers after you shove your arm into a cooler to find the last beer in a sea of Diet Pepsis? What you need is the cooler scoop, a scoop that proxys for your arm in order to dig out a drink without freezing to death. The only…

Eight Laptop Coolers Reviewed (Verdict: They’re All Pretty Meh)

Dan “Huevos” Ackerman’s very protective of his groin. As such, he needs the best laptop cooler money can buy. He takes out eight (who knew there were that many) laptop coolers and rates them on looks, size, and how they feel on his creamy thighs. The winner in terms of temperature (measuring at the lowest…

Cruzin Cooler

Why didn’t we find this sooner? As a person who just had a beer at 9am, this would be perfect! I’d hop on, roll down to the bodega, suit up with a few sixpacks, and head home, all while sitting on my comfortable Cruzin Cooler. This cooler has a gas or electric motor and has…

Boombox + Cooler = One Cool Geek

When I hit the beach, I like to bring my own tunes. Sure, not everyone likes Kraftwerk remixed with Toby Keith, but they soon learn to love the majesty of teuto-tronic techno mixed with the best from Honkytonk University. Whereas they once threw stuff at me, I can now reach into my handy cooler/iPod dock,…
