Best Buy frequently hosts flash sales that heavily reduce the price of certain products for a limited time only, and the deals can be especially enticing on off-season products. One worth shouting about today applies to the Anker EverFrost 50 portable cooler that is on offer for $699. That's $250 off its usual list price, and beats a summer sale on it we saw about a month ago. Given summer is officially over, you might not be brekaing this thing out daily but you'll definitely thank yourself for grabbing it on sale when next summer rolls around.
The unit can keep food and drinks chilled after just 30 minutes of charge, able to reduce the temperature from 77 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius) to 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius). On top of this, it has an immense 27-hour battery life and can be charged by both standard means along with 100-watt solar support.
