Euhomy 59 Quart Review

The Euhomy 59 Quart is an excellent electric cooler for budget-conscious adventurers who don't want to sacrifice storage capacity to save a few bucks. It has excellent temperature control, is very easy to use, and barely emits any noise while it operates. Given its size, it's also relatively portable.

Temperature Control

The Euhomy does an excellent job of controlling its internal temperature. The thickly-insulated walls and powerful-yet-efficent compressor mechanism help maintain a steady internal temperature that's even cold enough for frozen foods. It won't reach the absolute coldest temperatures, but its performance is good enough for most people.

When we tested the minimum internal temperature, the lowest temperature we measured was 5.9°F. When it reached this temperature, the set temperature was -4°F. While this is nearly 10 degrees off, 6 degrees is still cold enough to prevent frozen foods from thawing.

The Euhomy was much more accurate when set to 35°F. During our time-to-cool testing, we set the cooler to 35 degrees and measured the internal temperature when it stopped cooling. The measured internal temperature at this point was 35.6°F, one of the most accurate temperatures of any electric cooler model we tested.

Time to Cool

The Euhomy takes longer to cool down initially compared to other models. However, once it reaches its target temperature, it's quite efficient at maintaining it. This means you'll want to avoid letting it warm up completely between uses.

When we filled this with room-temperature cans and started cooling them from 75°F, the Euhomy 11.2 hours to reach 35°F, which is longer than most other models. We recommend chilling this cooler at home before taking it to the woods. It's accurate and efficient once cold, but it takes a maddeningly long time to get there.

Energy Consumption

The Euhomy requires a significant amount of power to cool, but once it's cold, it doesn't consume excessive power to maintain that temperature. It features multiple power usage settings and battery protection capabilities to prevent overnight battery drain.

We recommend pairing the Euhomy with a 750-watt-hour or larger power station. This will provide you with sufficient power to operate the cooler for a long weekend.

It uses an average of 9.2 watts per hour, which is more than average for a compressor cooler, but not significantly higher. If you pair this with a power station and a 100-watt solar panel, you can run it indefinitely as long as the sun is consistently out.

We recommend plugging it into an AC power outlet before taking it out for a trip so it has plenty of time to cool. Then, when you leave, it won't require as much power to maintain that cold temperature it has already achieved.

Portability

The Euhomy is big and bulky, so it's not the most portable. However, it's much easier to carry than many comparably sized compressor coolers. We were very impressed with this cooler's portability and found it to be one of the only larger models that we didn't dread lifting into and out of our truck.

It weighs 28.7 pounds, which is quite light for its size; some large-capacity electric coolers weigh well over 50 pounds. It has easy-to-grab handles that allow one person to lift and carry it. The bulk may cause you to waddle as you walk, but it's much more portable than most other giant coolers, which require wheels or two people to move.

Remember, it will be heavier when stocked with food and drinks, so you might need two people to transport it then.

Its compressor is housed in an anti-shake mechanism to withstand rough dirt roads. It also works at up to a 30-degree tilt.

Ease of Use

The Euhomy features two zones, additional storage for food and drinks, and a simple yet effective interface with Bluetooth compatibility. It's also durable enough for daily use, though it has some durability limitations.

The dual-compartment design, featuring a wired basket and divider, allows you to quickly remove the contents for a clear view of every last drink. The wire basket's divider creates three separate compartments: two in the basket and a smaller separate compartment above the compressor. It also has very square edges, which is the most efficient use of internal space. The lid also has cupholder indentations, so it doubles as a coffee table. Hopefully won't spill your drinks.

The LCD touchscreen clearly displays the set temperature, making adjustments simple. The Bluetooth app is also easy to use, allowing you to adjust settings across your entire campsite.

After extended use, the lid's latch can get sticky. The lid also became wobbly after repeated opening and closing. While this gives us some reservations regarding the Euhomy's overall durability, the lid didn't break during our extensive testing period.

Noise

The Euhomy is one of the quietest operating coolers. We were never disturbed while sleeping in the same room as this model.

We often had to double-check that the Euhomy was even turned on by looking at the LCD display. When it's working hard to cool something down, it produces a low, grumbly tone that is more subtle than that of many other models.

Should You Buy the Euhomy 59 Quart?

The Euhomy is a very affordable cooler with a massive capacity and quiet operation. If you're looking for a powered cooler that can hold a lot of food and drinks while still being reasonably lightweight to carry from your car to the campsite, this is a great option. If you need something small to fit in a tightly packed trunk, this might be a bit too large.

What Other Powered Coolers Should You Consider?

If you're looking for a smaller, more portable, and affordable cooler, consider the BougeRV 23 Quart. Check out the Dometic CFX5 45 for the highest-performing model overall. We also think the Engel MT45 Combination Platinum Series is worth considering for a seriously bomb-proof cooler with super-fast cooling times.
