Overview
Solo Stove, known for its smokeless fire pits, has launched the Windchill 47, a 47-quart cooler featuring three distinct cooling methods:
- Ice Storage: Traditional insulated chamber for food and drinks.
- Air Conditioning: Built-in fan-cooled air system using ice and water.
- Misting System: Uses melted ice to create a fine mist spray.
It’s a portable cooling unit for people and perishables, ideal for camping, tailgating, beach days, or backyard barbecues.
Key Features
Triple Cooling Mechanism
- Ice Storage: Holds up to 65 cans and maintains chill for up to 6 days.
- Air Conditioning: A heat exchanger and three-speed fan draw in outside air, cool it, and direct it outward as a dry breeze.
- Misting System: Enhances cooling by releasing atomized water into the airflow using melted ice.
Power and Battery Options
Two interchangeable battery options power the cooling system:
- 10Ah Battery:
- Max Cool Mode: 3 hours

- 17Ah Battery:
- Max Cool Mode: 4.5 hours
- Eco Mode: Up to 16.2 hours
Includes USB-A and USB-C ports for charging external devices like smartphones or tablets.
Design and Portability
- Weight: 42.4 lbs
- Dimensions: 29.5” L × 18.8” W × 18.4” H
- Mobility: Built-in all-terrain wheels and a telescoping handle
- Extras: Integrated bottle opener, vent hose for directed airflow, and external attachment points for accessories
Performance and Usability
The Windchill 47 features three user-selectable modes:
- Max Cool Mode: Delivers strongest A/C effect using the full heat exchanger system.
