Kreher Polarbox, 20 litres, rigid passive box, 1.3 kg stated review

The only box in this hub that publishes an empty weight, and the only one to publish inside and outside dimensions together — 1.3 kg, 20 litres of rigid Styrofoam.

The bottom line The listing with the most complete geometry in the hub — outside, inside and empty weight — and nothing whatsoever on how long the cold lasts.

What this listing puts on record

A rigid passive cool box, stated at 20 litres, in washable plastic over Styrofoam, with a removable lid, rounded edges and an adjustable faux-leather shoulder strap. External dimensions 45 × 30 × 29 cm, internal 41 × 26 × 26 cm, stated empty weight 1.3 kg.

Three figures nobody else publishes

Internal dimensions. Every other listing here gives litres, or gives outside dimensions, or gives nothing. This one gives the space you actually load.

An empty weight. 1.3 kg for the 20 litre box, 1 kg for the 12 litre version. Alone in the hub.

A named insulating material. Styrofoam, in a washable plastic shell, with no trade name in the way.

What it does not publish

No retention figure. Reliable cooling is claimed and no hours are given.

No gasket. The lid is stated removable and nothing describes a seal, which on a rigid box is where the cold leaves.

No drain. Melted ice comes out the way it went in.

Before ordering

41 cm of internal length is the useful number: it settles what lies flat inside. 26 cm of internal depth does not stand a 1.5 litre bottle upright, and this is the one listing here that lets you know that before it arrives.

Catalogued on the British and Italian Amazon stores with nobody selling it: the reference is there, the offer is not.

Nothing came back from the American, French and Spanish Amazon stores, so the buy link there opens a local search instead of a page that is not there.

What it does well, and where it gives way

Strengths

  • Publishes an empty weight, which no other listing in this hub does at all
  • Publishes internal as well as external dimensions, so the space you actually get is known before ordering
  • A rigid box with a stated Styrofoam wall and a washable shell, described plainly and without a trade name

Compromises

  • No retention figure of any kind, on the construction best placed to hold one
  • A removable lid with no gasket described, which is what a rigid box normally seals with
  • No drain, on a rigid box where melted ice has nowhere to go but out over the rim

What people ask before buying

How thick are the walls?

The maker does not state it. It publishes 45 × 30 × 29 cm outside and 41 × 26 × 26 cm inside, and the difference between those is arithmetic this page will not do on your behalf — a subtraction is not a published specification, and lid and base thicknesses are not the same as wall thicknesses.

Why does 1.3 kg matter?

Because a passive box is carried empty as often as it is carried full, and because it is the one figure that separates a light box from a heavy one before any ice goes in. This is the only listing in this hub that publishes it.
