Just curious if anyone has experience with the Artic Air ice cooler? Pros? Cons?

We have one I got last summer about this time. 38qt with the red cover single hose. I put it in the baggage and pump air over the back seat.( no need for case of oil back there) Here in Texas It's almost required. My wife and I flew to Gulf Shores, AL. from Houston TX. on Friday morning and just got back. It works good on the ground but not that good in the air due to leakage of air out the plane.
We use it for cranking and taxing and climb to cool air. Does a good job.
I use gallon and 1/2 gallon milk jugs frozen and then put in a bag of ice. Today we put in Three bags of ICE and still had some when we got back to HOUSTON, (2hr 48 min),but as I said you only use it for about 30 min on taxi and climb and then on the way back in for landing.
I find if you use it continuously It lasts about an hr.
I did just order another Hose a little longer (3FT)so it gets closer to the front seats.
I also ordered a 24 to 12 volt converter to try it in my C310.
Hope this helps.

My experience is similar to Pat's. Most of my flying is on 'trips' where the baggage compartment is utilized and the cooler isn't an option. I find it's also a bigger 'hassle' to freeze the bottles and or transport the ice, and then drain the water, etc. etc. (call me a wuss!) than it is to just keep a door cracked while on the ground. Once in the air it doesn't take that long to get to an alt that is comfortable.
