The Anker Solar-Powered Cooler is a Bonafide Refrigerator on Wheels

I am a firm believer in bringing everything you need to the party. That includes when the party is held outside, in the middle of the woods, with no outlets nearby. And look, I understand trying to go off the grid for your sanity, but how do you keep vibrating if you don’t have some battery power to pull from?

Enter the new EverFrost 2 Electric Cooler and Solix Solar Umbrella from Anker, debuting this week at CES 2025. The gadgetized outdoor party essentials were launched alongside a 140W Display with a charger and a 25,000mAh power bank with a retractable cable. However, the cooler and the umbrella piqued our interest more. The whole point of these gadgets is to offer you power when you are out without having to remember to bring reinforcements. Also, the cooler actually cool off food, and is remotely controlled so you can monitor the temperature of drinks and food from afar. ,

The EverFrost 2 Electric Cooler comes in 23L, 40L and 58L sizes, with the largest variant making the most of all three sizes. The 58L version has two separate compartments that effectively spoof a fridge-on-wheels; one side freezes while the other keeps things cool. Naturally, both are controlled by an app. The electric cooler also includes a folding table with handle and IPX3 waterproofing.

Two detachable batteries power each of the coolers, which Anker says can provide up to 104 hours of cooling with both packs at a time. Each battery also serves as a power bank with USB-C and USB-A charging ports if you need to charge a phone or keep a string of lights on. The cooler has a 100W solar charger, a car socket, and USB-C for charging. The 40L and 58L will be available in February, with the smaller variant launching later in the year.

The Anker Solix Solar Umbrella is not as exciting as the coolers. It doesn’t actively cool you, but it can create shade in the middle of nowhere by virtue of being an umbrella. At the very least, the Solar Umbrella is equipped with 100W output capacity through the XT-60 and USB-C connection ports, so you can connect different things to it to stay powered. The umbrella is IP67 waterproof and will be available sometime this summer. There is still no price available for coolers or umbrellas.
