Igloo is one of the world's most recognised cool box brands — an American company with over 70 years of heritage, now trusted by campers, caravanners, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts across the globe. At Newquay Camping Shop, we stock the full Igloo range: passive cool boxes, thermoelectric models, and premium compressor fridges. Here's everything you need to know.
The Igloo Range at a Glance
Igloo's lineup divides into three clear categories:
- Passive cool boxes — no power needed, rely on ice packs or loose ice. The Laguna, Profile II, and MaxCold families sit here.
- Thermoelectric cool boxes — AC/DC powered, cool to a fixed temperature below ambient. The IE 24L is a great entry-level electric option.
- Compressor cool boxes / fridges — the ICF range. True fridge or freezer performance anywhere, powered by mains or 12/24V DC.

Igloo Technology Explained
Cool Riser Technology — an elevated base that lifts the cool box off hot surfaces, reducing heat transfer from below and improving ice retention.
Thermecool Foam — Igloo's eco-friendly, CFC-free insulation foam used across the passive range.
3-Stage Battery Protection (ICF range) — automatically monitors your vehicle battery voltage and shuts the compressor off before it drains the battery flat. Essential for campervans running off a leisure battery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Igloo cool box has the best ice retention?
The MaxCold range offers 5-day ice retention under test conditions — the best of any passive Igloo model. Pre-chilling contents and using quality gel ice packs will get you close to those figures in real-world use.
Can I use an Igloo ICF compressor cool box in my campervan?
Yes — all ICF models run on 12/24V DC as well as mains. The built-in 3-stage battery protection auto-shuts off before your leisure battery runs dangerously low. The ICF 32 and ICF 40 are popular choices for van builds.
What's the difference between a thermoelectric and a compressor cool box?
A thermoelectric cool box (like the IE 24L) cools to a fixed temperature below ambient — typically 18–20°C below. A compressor cool box (ICF range) works like a proper fridge or freezer, cooling to as low as -17°C regardless of ambient temperature — significantly more capable but higher cost.
Do Igloo cool boxes need ice?
The passive Laguna, Profile II, and MaxCold ranges need ice packs or loose ice. The IE 24L thermoelectric and ICF compressor models do not.
Are Igloo cool boxes good for Cornwall camping?
Yes — the MaxCold range's 5-day ice retention is well suited to longer Cornwall stays. For clifftop sites without hook-up, the MaxCold 54 QT is our most recommended passive model. For serviced pitches, the ICF compressor range removes the ice hassle entirely.
