What it is
The WCC40 is a 39-litre portable electric compressor coolbox — the largest single-zone model in the WCC range, suited to longer trips, families and full van or boat use.
It actively cools and freezes from +20°C down to -18°C and is built to be hauled around, with drop-down handles and a removable lid.

Why we sell it
The WCC40 is the family-trip size: the most capacity in a single-zone WCC, still portable, and it freezes as well as chills.

- Freezes, not just chills. Adjustable to -18°C even in hot weather.
- Travel-built. Drop-down handles, reinforced corners and integrated feet.
How it compares
vs a built-in compressor fridge
Matches a small built-in on capacity but stays fully portable with no installation; it lacks a fixed door and shelving.
vs a passive / thermoelectric coolbox
Holds an exact low temperature and freezes whatever the heat; passive and thermoelectric boxes cannot.
