They're all so tiny for the price. Dollars per cubic inch yikes.
I've been wanting to put a residential deep freezer in the truck bed along with an inverted. Not as portable as one of those tiny chillers but perhaps more cost effective?
A simple temperature controller from ebay could let it operate as a fridge l.
I've actually done just that before. Went on an Elk hunt out west and put a deep freezer in a utility trailer and took it along. 4 seasoned hunters, each with a kill tag equals at least 3 mature elk and there isn't enough coolers and dry ice room available to haul it all back and air freight is stupid expensive, so we took the Amana along in a 4x8 utility trailer (and a genny and extension cord. We didn't camp, we 'camped in motels coming back but if we could not park directly in front of our rooms (and plug it in, we ran the genny to keep the Amana and the elk rock hard frozen.
I'd like to get a dual zone cool box for the backseat of my crew cab so when the wife and I are going somewhere, we have cold drinks and sandwiches available and she can use it when shopping in the summer, to get my French Vanilla home frozen instead of soup, plus our dog is diabetic and her insulin must be kept cold all the time.
I can park and get in my TC and get to the fridge anytime I want to, I'm looking at the convenience more than anything else.
Like most things today, it's a discretionary purchase, not a necessity. I'm feeling around for experiences of people who own them now, pro's and cons.
