What should I look for in an electric cooler?

Do thermoelectric coolers work?
Thermoelectric cooling is not very efficient. It is often only about 10 percent efficient, compared to normal refrigeration, which is in the 40 to 60 percent range. Normal refrigeration isn’t practical for a cooler, since it is heavy, bulky and overpowered. But the thermoelectric cooler doesn’t have to do that much.
