My gadget loving dh would totally go for one of those... once it's been around for a while. We don't have a need for one but hey... it's just cool!

It is pretty cool....no pun intended!  I can see that would be handy to boaters, on the beach, camping, etc. |

I so want one!
I was already to do the International one because it would ship to Canada but then at the bottom it says its now an additional 100 to ship here. Geesh, make up your mind!
But that is the coolest thing ever!

There is NO way the cooler can power a blender effectively. For heavens sake, blenders plugged into the wall have trouble chopping ice.

I love it... thanks for sharing the link. $185 plus $15 shipping sounds like I already have DH's Christmas gift! Too bad it won't be delivered until Feb 2015. They need to speed up for Christmas deliveries!!!!  |

They need to speed up for Christmas deliveries!!!! I wouldn't be surprised if it gets done faster because of all the funding they have now. Who knows though? |

I think it's neat, but would have no need to buy one. I think we're too boring for that. We drink water almost all of the time. I have no need or desire to bring a noisy blender with me on a picnic. We don't have iphones, so anything related to that is useless for us. We carry a picnic basket and a small cooler, which together are probably smaller than that one, and they serve us really well. But it looks like it's well thought out, so if they can build them to stand up to the rigors of partying outdoors, then I think they probably have a winner. |

It's a cool idea.
I'm way more interested in a cooler that holds ice, though. We've got a cooler that advertised that it would keep ice for 7 days. The ice is melted in 24 hours.
If this sucker keeps ice, I'm in!

I just watched the video this morning and to be honest didn't think it was for real. It seemed like one of those dumb skits they show on SNL. I guess it's a good idea but no way am I paying that much for a cooler!

I love it! I have a perfectly fine cooler, but if money were no object, I'd buy one! Same here, we go to a yearly 3 day music festival and that would be an awesome cooler since we dry camp on the grounds! |

In the FAQs, he addresses the battery, how to charge it, the dimensions, etc.
How long does the battery last?
The battery for the blender, USB and lid light is an 18v NiMH battery rated for 3000 Mah. With our motor and current gearing it only takes around 10-15 seconds to blend up a pitcher of drinks so we'll have capacity for at least 6 gallons of drinks per charge, likely more.
The bluetooth speaker is removable, and the self contained battery has +1400Mah rating good for around 8 hours per charge. It charges separately.
The LED and USB draw very little power, and with the smart(er) circuitry you will be able to charge all day without an issue if needed.
What are the speaker specifications?
I've tested out a half dozen speaker this year so far, but bluetooth speakers keep improving in performance and cost so it will be the very last piece we completely lock in for the COOLEST.
Here are the minimum specs we're sourcing in the waterproof speaker:
Audio: 2.0CH+Low frequency passive radiator
Power: DC+5V,1A
Battery: 1500mAh Lithium-ion rechargeable battery
Speaker: Φ45mm 6Ω*3
Hz-kHz: 80Hz-20KHz
SNR: ≥85dB
Output Power: RMS 5W *2 (THD=10%,f=1KHz)
PS: Built-in Microphone
How do you charge the battery?
Right now you can charge the COOLEST 18 v battery by plugging it into the wall or a car charger. Stay tuned for future updates as there may be a stretch goal for other options!

I like the name - I love things that are clever and going from CoolER to CoolEST makes me smile I have no need for it, but I could see it being a fun gift for some friends of mine that will likely be getting engaged/married within a year or two. I'd consider going in with another friend or two to purchase this, I think they'd love it and get a lot of use out of it. |
