It's VERY cold the first 4 hours. Then cold the next 4. Only fair cool on the last four hours. It did work great for our baby bottles. I kept it out of the sun. 12 hours is a really long time! It wasn't cold at 12, but it didn't spoil our stuff either. We loved ours!!!

I would say no more than 6 hours. I packed this for my husband's lunch once.. warmed up the containers with boiling water, as directed, then placed hot foods in it (aruond 7am)... he said it was just "warm" enough to eat at lunch time (12/1pm) but not hot.

It cools down till about 15-20 C degrees lower than the temperature outside. so... if you keep it in hot environment it will not cool at all... For example if outside is 40 C so inside of your cooler you will have ]20C! not so cool.... so it depends. I use it when I travel and the temperature is always cool 10C or lower.

I slept in this bag, in a tent with no heat with an outside temp of 9 degrees and a -2 windchill. I had my head inside the bag and the cover draped over the top of the bag. I slept perfect for 8 hrs. I also had a hooded sweatshirt and fleece pants on. also used it just last weekend and the temp was 16 when I woke up. the bag is big enough to get my head inside so on the super cold nights that's what I do and I sleep great.

I travel about 1 hour each way to the store and back. I am assuming you are wanting to transport an ice cream cake. If that is the case I would freeze 2 - 20 ounce. Soda bottles to let the cooler get cold. If the day time temperature is in the mid-80s or above I would cover the box with an old quilt or blanket for additional indulagoon. I think this foldable cooler is a fantastic product.

I think the directions said 24 hours? Maybe it was 12 I can't recall exactly. I made a space in my freezer for it when I got it home so it had been in there for a week or so but it is too much space to leave it in there permanently.

The cooler bag is insulated but is not designed to maintain heat for several hours. A thermos is recommended for keeping hot food hot. Additionally, I do not recommend putting an extremely hot container inside the cooler bag as the inside could be damaged by excessive heat. If a cold lunch is packed, an ice block should be included to maintain a cold temp for several hours. Food should already be chilled when packed. Do not store in the sun or a hot car. - Kelly Lester, ceo, EasyLunchboxes

Similar weather to where I am. It will get cool in about 2 hrs. If the drinks are cold going into unit they will lose some coolness within first hour then be maintained at that temperature until around 2 hrs when they start to really cool down. Long trips or short stops will keep it all KOOL

Keeps stuff 10 to 15 degrees colder than the temperature of the space it is in. I use mine daily inside an air conditioned car. My water, fruit, soda, etc. stay about 50 degrees.....but that's with my car a/c temp set pretty low. No thermastat on it. I'm just super happy about not having to get fresh ice every morning; and not having everything floating in water every afternoon!

The insulated pouch does not keep items cold more than 6 hours. It is Ok for short trips.

It will depend on the temperature of the air around it. My younger son takes one to school for lunch. They have to leave their lunches outside. His food is warm by 2:30 when he gets out. My older son takes frozen drinks for after school sports. They are still frozen at 4 when he starts practice. His PackIt stays inside all day.

I think that depends on the ambient temperature of your location and the type of cooler. I used them in a super insulated polar bear cooler (used to transport medicine) in sunny Italy and they lasted a total of 27 hours before the inside cooler temperature rose above 45 degrees F.

Cooler holds temperature steady very well, I usually only see a 1 or 2 degree drop per hour. Could easily accommodate hot coco

I haven't actually measured, but it seems to hold about the same temperature as the milk cooler at the grocery store (so, around 40 deg F). The catch is that it really isn't thermostatted. It's a thermoelectric chiller that can only maintain a certain differential below ambient (about 30 degrees or so). That means that if the ambient temperature is 70, it should cool to around 40. If the ambient is 90 (like on a summer day with no A/C), it will only take it down to 60.

Sorry. Pushed send too soon. If you freeze the bag ahead then pack it as you head to he airport, you should be fine. Carey it onboard. In 5-6 hours it should remain cool.

I had it down to 15 degrees. I was using a ground pad and a wool blanket over the bag as a "just in case" and I was comfortable. Every now and again the baffle by my feet would shift and cold air would rush in, but other than that I was good. Don't know if I could go much colder though.
