Cooler Box Test 2026: Only a few stay truly ice-cold

IMTEST tested four cooler boxes with capacities from 35 to 45 liters. The winner is the EcoFlow Glacier Classic 35, which cools to 7°C in 17 minutes and maintains temperature for over 40 minutes. The best value for money is the Maentum IcecubeX 40L, though it cools slower (51 minutes) and lacks a built-in battery. All models operate below 40 dB, with energy consumption ranging from 17 to 29 Wh over 105 minutes.

Cooler Box Test 2026: Smart EcoFlow Glacier Classic 35 Wins

IMTEST tested four coolers for camping and travel: EcoFlow Glacier Classic 35, Dometic CFX5 45, Anker Solix Everfrost 2 40L, and Maentum IcecubeX 40L. The winner was the EcoFlow Glacier Classic 35 with a rating of 'good' (2.53), which cools to 7°C in 17 minutes and maintains temperature for over 40 minutes. The best value for money was the Maentum IcecubeX 40L (2.54), though it cools slower (about 51 minutes) and lacks a built-in battery. The Dometic CFX5 45 (2.56) had the fastest cooling (under 10 minutes) and best insulation, but is more expensive and requires an external battery.

Anker Solix EverFrost 2 review: mobile cooler with extra power

IMTEST tested the Anker Solix EverFrost 2 battery-powered cooler. It features integrated wheels, a fold-out table, and a bottle opener. Cooling from 22°C to 7°C took 19 minutes, slightly above the claimed 15 minutes. After power-off, internal temperature rose from 7°C to 12°C in 34 minutes, indicating limited insulation. Holding-mode power consumption is about 140 Wh, among the highest in the test group.

84-year-old drives 15-tonne motorhome: 'I know accidents could be avoided'

In Uckermark, a debate over elderly drivers continues. Readers of Nordkurier share their experiences: 84-year-old Robert Drexel drives a 15-tonne motorhome and believes many older drivers overestimate their abilities, but losing a licence in rural areas could be a 'death sentence'. Another reader, 77-year-old Georg Kaltwasser, gave up renewing his licence due to costs (around 1,500 euros) and instead drives a 4-tonne motorhome to Greece. 85-year-old Alois Deuber sold his motorhome for health reasons after driving over 200,000 km without accidents. Mandatory checks for elderly drivers are not in place in Germany.
