FYI- Ryobi introduced a 12Ah and 9Ah battery just after this cooler was launched. I've been able to confirm that they both fit inside and the lid to the battery compartment closes.

Builtin charger to charge the batteries while connected to AC or 12v would have been top notch.

Power tools manufacturing this kind of products are making van life more appealing and convenient. Amazing strategy.

We have used the kzfaq.infoUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!

That red arrow was super helpful!

It was great my friend. You work hard for your videos. Thankful👏👏👏👍👍

Incredible idea

Love the arrow marker

Very comprehensive review. I just bought a 48 quart Newair for $299 shipped free and it has two compartments and they can both be a fridge or a freezer compartment or one of each and you pick which is which. The controls look just like the Ryobi except that there are representations and controls for each side of the cooler. All the fonts and symbols are identical. It has eco and max cooling. Each zone can be set down to -4 F. It has three different cutoff voltages that you can choose from, when using the cig socket cord, to keep from running your car battery down 'til it wont start the car. The 12 volt cord and the power brick look identical. I think the dimensions are very similar, as well, except that the Ryobi has so much space dedicated to the battery compartment. The underside of the lid and the drain plug seem to be the same, as well. The lid can be reversed to open in the opposite direction for convenience. It has a LED light in each compartment and a cutting board that fastens inside the lid for storage and fits in a depression on the top to keep it from sliding around while you use it. It has wheels and a slide out handle that gets you far enough away from the cooler to keep it from running into your heels while you're rolling it. It has a very tight fitting wire basket for each compartment. It fits nice and protects the walls from denting. They can be removed, taken into the store or into your house, filled and you know that the food in them will fit into the cooler. You aren't standing there with the lid open letting the cold out while you try to fit your stuff into the cooler. I know that three 2 liter bottles can stand on end in the larger compartment and I think 4 could be made to fit. The Ryobi didn't seem tall enough to do a 2 liter. An optional battery is available for about $250 and if you have it, you can also connect a 100 watt solar panel to the cooler to power the 60 Watt, LG brand compressor and keep the battery charged for overnight use. It must have a charge controller built into the cooler. Two 9 ah Ryobi batteries will give you about 650 wh of power and cost $259. A Dr. Prepare LiFePO4 battery will cost $380, comes with a 100 watt MPPT solar charger controller, built in, along with a cig socket, two USB-A sockets, a USB-C socket, a battery level meter, and will give you 1280 wh of power, and that's all running on 12 volts so there are no conversion loses. I have a crap load of Ryobi tools and batteries and when I first saw their cooler I was pretty excited, but after a little research I found that I could get so much more for just a little more dough and I bought the Newair instead, without a second thought.

This will go on our list of Ryobi tools to join all the ones we already have!

Wheels on coolers are one of the best add-ons ever. In my work days, I had several wheeled coolers that got used daily to deliver wastewater samples to our lab. We had our own ice machine to make sure samples stayed cold to a 40 F. These electric coolers was always out of our price range. Looks like the wheels are a little flimsy. Ryobi cooler is a little expensive, but coolers that will hold ice for several days are expensive too. Great demo

Great idea and a nice product. I’d like to see a solar powered charger for my 18 volt batteries.

I would’ve like to see a hand held thermometer used to show the inside temperature. And I wonder how it would work in 100 degree weather that I have in central Arkansas.

Do you think this would be ok to leave in a closed van ? I’m thinking of getting one but I’m afraid of braking it if the van gets too hot

I would definitely love to get this. It's a steep price, but maybe I'll get it for myself for my birthday.

I did enough camping in the Saudi Arabian desert during ODS so I'm not a fan of camping but I did enjoy the video! I cant help but think Milwaukee will be coming out with something similar in the coming months/ years so O'll wait for that. I have the L Packout cooler and its been filling my needs out in the work truck. I dont own any Ryobi tools or batteries so I'll pass on this refrigerator.

Looks good, I would recommend one with a bit more room for your food etc..

Come on Dewalt, we need this.

Does it run the battery one at a time? Would would keep it from overloading or overheating

Be nice if it had bluetooth as well. You could easily run this off a seperate solar charger. 40 volt would be nice as well. It's cheaper to purchase a separate solar battery system to run this. It could charge and run the system via 12v, 110v and solar. Be nice to have some cup holders in the lid too. Needs a white lid to help reflect sun.

Did I miss how long it will run on battery power? My apologies if I did, this looks interesting! But if I’m reading between the lines correctly, when plugged into AC or 12v it DOES NOT charge the batteries? WHY?!

I've been looking for one and home depot doesn't even show they are going to carry it, so where can I get one?

Thanks for your great review. You are doing a great job. Also, thank you for pronouncing their name right. It bothers me when people mispronounce Ryobi. Lol!

When it's plugged into AC power does it charge the batteries

Milwaukee needs to make one

$500 !! Ryobi is nuts.

Are you saying that the two battery packs can run the fridge over night on eco? Then you can recharge the batteries by plugging them into a cigarette lighter plug while you drive?

I just wish they offered a larger capacity especially in the length.

Needs a solar panel so it could be charging during the daytime and running off the Solar panels

I have a lot of high capacity Dewalt and Milwaukee batteries, I hope that they make something like this one soon.

How cool will it cool down your car using two of them compared to one and please use a thermometer ?

I like Ryobi products but this, imo, has a price tag that is too high for what it does.

Can this cooler be used outside in the rain 🌧 🤔??

the competition for this size cooler is $200 or less, $500 is far too steep for this cooler.

If this charged the batteries while on 12v i could swallow the $500 price tag. It would also be a game changer for the overlander community and i suspect wildly popular. Sadly tho this is a huge miss at that price point.

Take my money!!!

Nice option for fishing if you have a lot of Ryobi batteries but I'm curious how much price difference between competitive products cuz of the other comments

Does it run on 18v or 36v? Do both batteries need to be same size? Looks like a good unit.

Let’s test it in Phoenix Az then I’ll think about it.

It be nice if you used the infared temp gauge on the bottles of water.

With an MSRP of $499.00 (and that probably doesn't come with the recommended 2 9ah 18V batteries), it's gonna be a hard sell IMHO. Will it at least be coming out using Ryobi's 40V platform?

I'll wait for the 40v to come out I think is going to be bigger.

Does the cooler charge batteries while it's plugged in to 12V or 120V? It'd be super nice if it did.

They should have made it hybrid for the price. 2 18v batteries or when in the car, plug into the 12v car charger that can charge the batteries and charge cooler in low mode. That would have been great. Or 2 12v and home plug in charger, that way you can pre cool it before a trip

How many 16 oz coke bottles will fit ?

80 degrees lol bring it down here to Texas and test now that would be a actual test 😊

Hi. Does it charge the batteries when it is connected to the grid ore 12v supply?

I wish this was compatible with my Ryobi lawnmower batteries

Lemme know when it can be powered by the 40v batteries.

Does the battery’s charge when you’re plugged in ? Also i wonder why they didn’t use the 40v batteries

I'm looking for something for the guys that work outside to put freeze pops in as a treat but I would want them to freeze

Would this cooler work for your needs? Is it big enough or too big?

Might as well add electric loo there.

Hey mark can you make a livestream sometime this month

Ryobi come out 1 st the sisters brand of Milwaukee so that mean a year or 2 Milwaukee should come out with there. Seem that how it go . Ryobi first them Milwaukee

Can you add ice for prolonged battery life?

Have bought numerous electric coolers. Here is my findings. They All cooled decent when new. Use that cooler a full year.. THEN show us the temperatures on a hot day. Over time the cooler gets warmer & warmer. Depending on your specific situation a ice maker may suit your needs best.

Would be better if you could charge with solar and if the cooler compartment were bigger.

Can the cooler support the new 12ah battery. With the lid closed.

If you put 2 batteries in it and run it off your car will it charge the ryobi batteries while running off the car? That's the key here rather than it just leaving the batteries in standby until the cars off.

Did I miss solar charging? I would buy it if it could run on solar.

They should make this for the 40v line

Dewalt needs to make one thats a lil larger... ill probably buy one lol

Dam, I love Ryobi and have a lot of their stuff, but that color on a cooler is really putting me off....LOL

Charging the batteries while on AC and for the price throw in a couple of batteries.

Hey mark what are you doing this summer

I bet if you added ice it would last longer for battery life

A fridge with wheels. I need one!

Would be great if it ran off their 40v yard machine battery packs.

Where can you buy it?

What's the noise level?

Add fan Convert to iceless portable air-conditioning

If your testing a Cooler. Why wouldn’t you put a Thermometer IN the cooler?

Florida is hot as well people buy ice everday at $2-4 a day do the math if will hold it is worth it

How many quarts is it rated at?

They should add a chime to let people know it's still open after a set amount of time, only because some people are extremely lazy and will open it and will never close it.

How much is it going for???

Any Ryobi batteries? Or just the One+ batteries?

Leo did NOT look impressed! LOL

Ryobi makes great tools and products, they just can’t get their batteries right. Every time I order a tool with battery and charger I get a bad battery. Also, refrigerated temperature should be at 40 degrees.

Sorry, but that thing is horribly over-priced for what it offers. Other products on the market, not tied to a specific battery solution, offer the same features at a better price point.

How much does it cost?

Just like we don’t trust a construction worker with Ryobi, we will not trust a bbq guy with a ryobi cooler lol

You can put ice popsicles and ice cream

might as well get a power station and run your own fridge at that price

The wheels should be much larger.

Not good for the inside of a hot vehicle like suv or hatchback. The outer temperature would reduce efficiency and the compressor would make outer temperature warmer.

$500 is steep for the size

$499.00 Just checked. Tool only, no batteries.

Why is the top black? That gets hot in the sun. White rejects heat.

Did I miss the price ?

$450 without batteries. Nice cooler, but not for the price of a refrigerator

Bruh I just bought the 40 qt Milwaukee cooler

Nothing like a yeti 😂😂😂😂

93Wh required to melt 1kG of water, ie stored cooling! An 18V 4Ah battery is 72 Wh. Someone check my math. Phase change paks like Yeti 4 lb melt temp is below 0C. Much cheaper than Battery.

45 degrees? No ! 35 degrees for me

It looks to me like the handle is too short to wheel it to a camp site or picnic area. Can’t imaging carrying that thing fully loaded with drinks and batteries.

Not having pass through charging is a big miss

Taller handles

i thought it was thermo eletric
