I have one of these , slightly larger though, but stays cold for 5 days, doesn't require any power. To stay cooler for longer, just throw in more ice/cool blocks, every few days.

Costco are doing that coolbox for £78 plus VAT but it does look a little large to fit in my car boot along with some camping gear when its needed for that.
Do those coolboxes work well with just ice packs as I can totally rethink my options if they do as I presumed you would have to fill them with ice for them to saty 5 days cool.

It fits across the back of a Mondeo with room to spare.
I last used it to keep burgers frozen over a very hot weekend, 35ishC inside the gazebo I was cooking inside of, 29C outside the gazebo. It was getting opened fairly regularly over the two days, yet the burgers were still below 0C after the event.
The second box was used to cool soft drinks. They were submerged in water and ice and stayed cool, and chilled fresh drinks from ambient very quickly, despite being opened every couple of minutes.
I picked mine up from Costco, where they do have a slightly smaller wheeled model available.

I bought the one below, its more than I wanted to pay especially when there was better and cheaper at Costco but what they sold was just too big for the boot of my car.
