This is something so crazy that I would never have even fathomed a tool company making it, but I guess Ryobi is known for unconventional cordless tools. I happen to be in the market for a cooler, but I am going to have to wait for some reviews to come in before I pull the trigger on this one especially since it is $199.99 although that does come with a battery (the slim black one) and a charger. Allegedly the battery that it comes with can power this for about 4 hours, which to me is quite impressive.

uh…. this might be the coolest cordless “tool” I have ever seen. I’m with you though, I would probably wait and see what the reviews are before purchasing.

How would this make any difference at all on a jobsite larger than a garage? It’s neat but I just don’t see what the appeal is blowing cold air and making your ice melt faster. Maybe if you sit right next to it eating lunch, but beyond that….

I just figured it would help keep your beer cold…

So I think I read that Hitachi already makes something like this??

Gotta love Ryobi thinking “outside” the box ……I’m sure it’ll be 99$ at some holiday sale……not sure how it works yet but looks “cool”…more POWA!

One thing I like about this over the Ryobi one is that this one is a hyrbid (as far as I can tell). I wish the Ryobi one was as well, to me having the option of using a battery; but not being required to would be a major selling point.

Hey, so you think it works great? Since I cannot find the right approach to this, I believe that the best choice is to buy a quality air conditioner that will work for a long time (at least a couple of years). Once there was a situation when my air conditioner burned down and I started thinking about buying a new one. However, it turned out that it is easier and more reliable to order a service that can restore quality and inexpensive air conditioning.

Ryobi is the best purchase of my life. My friends and I often go fishing. We have been looking for a suitable beer cooler for a long time. But nothing suited us. The equipment could not withstand the temperature for a long time. We passed, and the beer was already warm. Our search has settled on him. It’s wireless. Charging lasts for a day and a half. Fits perfectly in any trunk. It’s not heavy by itself. Easy to pick up, even by yourself. The wheels are adapted to any surface. My friends and I are pleased with the manufacturer. By the way, the company that repairs it https://www.airconservicing.org/.
