Why the E3 costs more than the $89 coolers-
The E3 isn’t built to be disposable. We regularly hear from customers whose Transcool is still going strong 15–20 years later. That long service life, plus real support and parts availability, is why the E3 costs more upfront — and why it often costs less over time.
Quick maths: $328 delivered is about $16–$22 per year if you get 15–20 years out of it.
✅ Personal spot cooler for swags/tents/campers/rooftops/boats/vehicles/trucks/pets etc
❌ Not a whole-room air-con unit
- Australia-based support, spares, 2-year warranty and quality since 2002.
