I'm a big believer in bringing everything you want to the party. This includes times when parties are held outdoors, in the middle of the woods, with no stores nearby. Look, I understand trying to act normal to preserve your sanity. But how can you keep this feeling going? If not there is little battery power left to draw.
Enter Anker's new EverFrost 2 Electric Cooler and Solix Solar Umbrella, which debuted this week at CES 2025. The outdoor party essential gadget debuts with a 140W display and comes with a charger and power bank. 25,000mAh with retractable cable Still, the cooler and umbrella piqued our interest the most. The beauty of these devices is that they provide energy when you are out and about without having to factor in reinforcements. In addition, the refrigerator is really cool and remotely controlled so you can monitor the temperature of your drinks and food from afar –
The EverFrost 2 electric cooler comes in 23 liter, 40 liter, and 58 liter sizes, with the larger model making the most of the three sizes. The 58L model has two separate compartments that effectively mimic a refrigerator on wheels. One side freezes while the other cools things down, naturally both are controlled by the app. The electric cooler also has a folding tray with handle and an IPX3 waterproof system.
Two removable batteries power each cooler, which Anker says can provide up to 104 hours of cooling with both sets running simultaneously. Each battery also doubles as a power bank with USB-C and USB-A charging ports if you need to charge your phone or keep multiple lights on. The cooler has a 100W solar charger, car socket, and USB-C for charging. 40L and 58L models will be available in February. The smaller version will be launched later this year.
The Anker Solix Solar Umbrella isn't as exciting as a cooler. It won't cool you down. But you can create shade in distant places by being an umbrella. At least the Solar Umbrella comes with the ability to output 100W through both the XT-60 and USB-C connection ports, so you can connect things to it to keep it powered. The umbrella is IP67 waterproof and will be available this summer. No pricing has been set for the cooler or umbrella.
