FAQs
How long does the FrostVault keep ice frozen?
Internal tests at 25°C show it can keep ice for days, maintaining cavity temperatures under 4.5°C. Actual performance may vary based on real-world conditions, such as ambient temperature and frequency of opening.
What is the capacity of the Ninja FrostVault?
The cooler has a capacity of 42 litres (45 quarts). It can hold up to 68 cans without ice, or 32 cans with ice.
Can I put drinks directly on ice in the Dry Zone?
The Dry Zone is designed for keeping food cool and dry. It is not intended for direct contact with melting ice. Use ice in the main compartment and place pre-chilled food items in the Dry Zone.
How do I clean the Dry Zone drawer?
Empty the drawer and wipe it clean with mild soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge. Dry it thoroughly before closing the drawer.
Is the cooler lockable?
Yes, both the main lid and the Dry Zone drawer have lockable latches for secure storage.
Can the cooler be used as a seat?
Yes, the sturdy construction allows it to double as a practical seating option for outdoor gatherings.
What are the dimensions of the cooler?
Specific external dimensions are not provided in the product description, but its 42L capacity and wheeled design suggest a substantial size suitable for extended trips.
Troubleshooting
Cooler not keeping contents cold
Ensure the lid and Dry Zone drawer are fully closed. Check for adequate ice or ice packs. Minimize the frequency and duration of opening the cooler. Ensure the cooler was pre-chilled before packing.
Water leaking from the cooler
Check that the drain plug is securely closed. Ensure the cooler is not overfilled, which could cause water to spill over the top edge when moved.
Dry Zone drawer is not cold
Verify that the main compartment of the cooler contains sufficient ice/ice packs and that the main lid is sealed properly to allow cold air to circulate into the drawer. Ensure the drawer itself is clean and free from obstructions.
Wheels are difficult to roll
Check the wheels for debris, dirt, or obstructions. Ensure they are properly aligned. If the cooler is extremely heavy, distributing the weight more evenly might help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Pre-chill: Before packing, it is recommended to pre-chill the cooler by filling it with ice or ice packs for at least an hour, or preferably overnight, especially if you've stored it in a warm environment.
- Packing: For optimal performance, pack the main compartment with ice or frozen gel packs. Place items that need to stay dry and cool in the Dry Zone drawer. Ensure the drawer is properly closed before securing the main lid.
Compatibility:

- Tie-down points are compatible with most standard car, campervan, or trailer securing systems.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, empty the cooler and clean all surfaces with mild soap and water. Use a soft cloth or sponge. Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the insulation or plastic.
- Drying: Thoroughly dry the interior and exterior of the cooler before storing. Leaving it open to air dry can help prevent mold and odors.
- Storage: Store the cooler in a cool, dry place, preferably with the lid slightly ajar to allow for air circulation and prevent odors.
