Portable hybrid cool box Dometic Waeco CK2 45 — 43 L, -15 to 10 °C, 230 V/12 V, Black/Silver

The Dometic CK2 45 Hybrid cool box is a portable electric cooler with a 43 L capacity, finished in black and silver. It provides a wide cooling range from -15 °C to 10 °C and accepts AC mains power as well as battery power, making it suitable for use in vehicles and off-grid situations. Its dimensions are approximately 565 mm (width) x 505 mm (depth) x 452 mm (height).

Advantages

The hybrid power design allows operation from standard 230 V AC and from vehicle or external batteries, offering flexibility for travel and outdoor use. The 43 L capacity accommodates food and beverages for small groups, while the deep cooling capability down to -15 °C enables frozen storage as well as refrigeration. The compact rectangular form factor and neutral black-and-silver finish make it straightforward to place in caravans, cars, or small outdoor kitchens.

Suitable for

• Road trips and camper vans
• Boating and fishing trips
• Picnics and outdoor gatherings
• Temporary additional cold storage during events

When it may not be suitable

This cool box may not be suitable for very large groups or long-term storage needs that require capacities larger than 43 L. It also relies on either AC mains or a compatible battery supply, so locations without any power source will limit its use unless a portable battery or inverter is provided.

How to use
