Portable electric cool box Makita CW004GZ 29 L, AC/DC/12V, LED display, IPX4, 2 wheels

Makita CW004GZ is a 29 L portable electric cool box designed for mobile cooling and warming of food and beverages. The unit operates from multiple power sources: AC (100–240 V), DC and 12 V cigarette-lighter socket, and comes with a cigarette lighter cable. A clear LED display and simple controls allow setting temperatures across a wide range from -18 °C for cooling up to 60 °C for heating. Compact dimensions, integrated carrying handles and two wheels facilitate transport for travel, camping, vehicle use or work sites. The shell offers IPX4 splash protection suitable for outdoor conditions.

Advantages

This cool box combines thermoelectric cooling with a heating function in a single compact unit, enabling both refrigeration and warming without refrigerant handling. Dual-power compatibility ensures operation from household mains, vehicle outlets or compatible DC supplies, increasing flexibility in the field. The LED display provides precise temperature readout and easy control, while IPX4 splash resistance protects internal components from light water exposure. Built-in handles and wheels reduce lifting strain and simplify movement over short distances.

Suitable for

• Camping and outdoor trips where compact refrigeration and warming are required
• Car and van journeys for keeping food and drinks at controlled temperatures
• Worksites and service vehicles that need portable temperature control
• Picnics, day trips or tailgating where mains power may be intermittent

How to use

Connect the cool box to the appropriate power source using the supplied cigarette-lighter cable for 12 V vehicle sockets or an AC/DC adapter for mains power. Use the LED display and control buttons to set the target temperature within the available range. Allow time for the interior to reach the set temperature before loading perishable items. Position the unit on a level surface and keep vents clear to ensure proper thermoelectric operation. For heating, place containers rated for warm temperatures inside; for cooling, use sealed containers to minimise moisture buildup.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid placing the cool box in direct sunlight or next to strong heat sources. Regularly check seals and keep the interior clean and dry. Use the vehicle power connection only with the engine running for extended operation to prevent vehicle battery drain. When transporting, secure the unit to prevent tipping and protect the LED display and controls from impact.
