The Russell Hobbs 4 Litre Mini Portable Cooler & Warmer is designed for individuals seeking a compact, versatile solution for maintaining desired temperatures for drinks, snacks, or even cosmetics. Its key benefit lies in its dual cooling and warming functions, coupled with exceptional portability for use in diverse environments like bedrooms, offices, cars, or on outdoor trips.

The Russell Hobbs Mini Portable Cooler & Warmer excels at providing convenient temperature control for small-scale needs. In cooling mode, it can chill beverages, keeping them refreshing up to 20°C below the surrounding temperature. This is perfect for a few cans of soda or bottled water in your bedroom, office, or during a car journey. It's also an excellent choice for preserving cosmetics and skincare products, helping to extend their shelf life and provide a soothing application experience. The inner door pocket is specifically designed for items like face masks.
When switched to warming mode, the unit can heat contents up to 65°C. This feature is practical for keeping small meals, pastries, or paninis warm at your desk, on a picnic, or during travel. For parents, it could also gently warm a baby bottle (ensure contents are checked before feeding). Its quiet operation, thanks to advanced fan technology, means it won't disturb you in quiet environments like a bedroom or home office.
The inclusion of both AC and DC power leads makes it highly adaptable. Use the AC lead for static placement on your kitchen countertop or beside your bed, and switch to the 12v DC car adapter for road trips, camping, caravanning, or long commutes. Its lightweight nature (2.4kg) and integrated carry handle make transitions between locations effortless. Consider it a personal temperature-controlled caddy for your most frequently used small items.
Placement: Choose a level, stable surface away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Ensure there's adequate ventilation space (at least 10cm) around the unit's vents.
Power Connection: For home or office use, connect the AC mains power lead to the unit and then to a 230v wall socket. For in-car use, connect the 12v DC car adapter to the unit and then to your vehicle's 12v power outlet (cigarette lighter socket).
Mode Selection: Use the switch on the unit to select either 'Cool' or 'Warm' mode, or 'Off'. Ensure the unit is OFF when changing modes or connecting/disconnecting power.
Power: Compatible with standard AC 230v household power outlets and 12v DC car power outlets.
Space: Its compact dimensions (H25.2cm x W18cm x D24cm) allow it to fit into small areas like desks, shelves, or between car seats.
Cleaning: Disconnect the unit from power before cleaning. Wipe the interior and exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
Ventilation: Regularly check that the ventilation grilles are free from dust and obstructions to ensure optimal performance and prevent overheating.
Storage: When not in use for extended periods, ensure the unit is clean and dry. Store it in a cool, dry place.
Spills: In case of spills inside, clean immediately to prevent odors and potential damage.
