The Future of Cooling Is Here: Igloo Expands Into Active Cooling With New ICF Iceless Electric Compressor Coolers

Available in Five Sizes With Temperature Control Range From Zero to 68 Degrees Fahrenheit

KATY, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Igloo Products Corp. announced the launch of its ICF Series, a collection of iceless electric compressor coolers, marking the company’s official expansion into the active cooler category. Released in five sizes with a wide temperature control range, the new collection is available now in the U.S. at igloocoolers.com/icf and select global retailers.

“After more than 75 years as a leading innovator and manufacturer of passive coolers, we are incredibly excited to announce that Igloo is charging forward to the future of cooling with our first-ever compressor coolers,” said Josh Militello, President at Dometic Mobile Cooling. “The new ICF Series introduces Igloo’s active cooler category, a category in which we plan to invest and expand in the years to come.”

Functioning as both a portable refrigerator and freezer for life on the go, Igloo’s ICF coolers use electricity instead of ice to cool the interior to the user’s desired temperature. As an iceless cooler, the ICF is lighter in weight than a comparable rotomolded cooler, has more interior space available and will not result in melted ice, improving the overall user experience.

“We’re happy to make cooling even more convenient for our consumers while finally giving ice cubes some well-deserved time off! Our new ICF electric coolers plug into a power outlet, eliminating the need for ice and giving users full control of the temperature inside, so they can have more worry-free fun outside for longer periods of time — when on the sidelines, tailgating, going on grocery runs and more,” said Jeff Diamond, Head of Mobile Cooling Products at Dometic Mobile Cooling.

Key features of the ICF Series include:

• Temperature control: Easy access to the dimmable digital display allows users to set the ICF to a desired temperature (ranging 0–68°F) for keeping food/drinks frozen or chilled.
• Multiple power options: ICF can be plugged into a wall outlet at home (100–240V AC input) or into a vehicle outlet (12V/24V DC input). Both cables are included.
• 3-stage battery protection: The built-in programming prevents ICF from draining a vehicle’s battery by shutting off the cooler when low voltage is detected.
• Ease-of-use design: Comfort carry handles, interior compartment divider, interior LED light and one-touch lift latch on lid improve the convenience of use.

The ICF Series comes in rugged blue in five sizes:

• ICF 18, $399.99: 20 quarts/19 liters
• ICF 32, $499.99: 34 quarts/32 liters
• ICF 40, $599.99: 41 quarts/39 liters
• ICF 60, $699.99: 62 quarts/59 liters
• ICF 80DZ, $999.99: 83 quarts/78 liters

In a variation from the rest of the collection, the ICF 80DZ (dual zone) cooler features two side-by-side compartments with independent temperature control. Each compartment can be set to a different desired temperature allowing for more versatility in food, drinks and/or frozen items packed inside.

About Igloo:

Born from a modest metalworking shop back in 1947, Igloo has been instrumental in redefining how we live, work and play. What began with bringing clean water to the worksite quickly moved into super-functional, best-in-class ice chests. Igloo products made the family outdoor recreation movement of the 20th century possible. Suddenly, taking your kids camping on the weekend became easy and cross-country road trips became a summer vacation staple.

As we approach our next century, Igloo is 1,200 employees strong. We are proud to call—a 1.8-million-square-foot, three-building facility in—Katy, Texas home. With more than 500 products sold at thousands of retailers around the globe, we can confidently call ourselves the number one cooler manufacturer in the world.

And through it all we haven’t lost sight of our original goal—to create products that enable the pursuit of happiness (however you define it). That’s why we’re still working hard every day to innovate, create and make it easier for you to get out, work hard and play even harder.
