Thanks.

Not possible to use a billing address outside the US, but I have someone here in St Maarten who may be able to help me out with that.

At least they have them in stock. I'll try to order tomorrow.

Hi

Well, ordering from RedOrbit didn't work either. Even with a friend's US credit card.

Out of desperation, I asked my girlfriend in Michigan to call the local Coleman factory outlet. She did, and they had three of them on clearance at $299.99 !!!!

She went there yesterday (Saturday). There is now a Coleman Stirling Power Cooler waiting for me in Michigan. I'm going to fly to there May the 16th, so I've finally found someone willing to ship it to me here in St Maarten, namely.... ME!

Cold beers will be served on Magic to all visiting forum members. :)

I'll let y'all know how the thing works once I get it here.

Very Cool, pun intended!
Wow, almost half priced. I wonder if the price was limiting their market.
Difficult to justify $500 for a 26 quart cooler...

I live in Brighton, Mi. Didn't know we had a Colman factory outlet in central MI.
Will have to remember it next time out that way.

Let us know how it works.
Looks like a full fledged Fridge unit, should be able to repackage it for your boat with thicker insulation... less power.

Have fun,
Scott.

Hi

I think the main reason they're not selling is that people just don't realize how cool these things are. To the uninitiated it looks just like a bog standard Peltier type electric cooler. If you know anything about anything, you know that those things consume obscene amounts of power. It's not until you understand that this thing is not only much more energy efficient than a Peltier type cooler, but quite a bit more efficient than a normal Rankine compressor fridge that the unit (and the price) make sense.

If you're living on 12V and want a fridge, you want one of these puppies.

Zoom off to the Coleman factory outlet and grab them while they last!
