Solo Stove, the brand famous for its smokeless fire pits, isn’t new to innovation. They’ve expanded their outdoor offerings before—think cookout kits and pizza ovens. That said, their new release is much cooler—literally.
The Solo Stove Windchill 47 cooler joins the ranks of YETI and HydroFlask with a promise of multi-day ice retention and behemoth 65-can capacity. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Here’s the kicker: Solo Stove reinvents the product category by including real, built-in air conditioning among other fun features. The fleet of surprising additions makes the Windchill 47 a truly unique option for outdoorsmen and summertime soirees.
With a real air conditioner, water mister and ice retention that lasts days, the new Solo Stove cooler redefines glamping.
The Solo Stove cooler comes in light tan and dark green shades and weighs about 42 pounds. It boasts a roughly 30-inch length, a width of just under 19 inches and stands about 18.5 inches tall. It’s pretty comparable to the size of other coolers we love, including the budget-friendly Lifetime cooler. That said, it distinguishes itself with a rounded appearance and a top panel hosting controls for the air conditioner, plus two charging ports.
The Windchill 47 cooler works by turning its icy inside temps into frigid, dry air-conditioning. The secret is in the construction, which utilizes a built-in heat exchanger, high-powered fan and water pump. Together, these traits create a cool blast of real air conditioning, which lasts for over three hours on a single charge. Talk about a cool feature!
Experts at Taste Recipes are serious about the best coolers. Believe us when we say we’ve never seen anything quite like this. Aside from the air conditioner, it ticks all of our boxes in terms of advertised ice retention, capacity, mobility and drainage. (Although our team agrees we’d need to test the cooler first to ensure it actually delivers on its claims.) Solo Stove even offers add-ons like a drink dock and a snap-on side table, sold separately.
The Solo Stove cooler is pricey at nearly $650, but it’s also buzzing with new features that justify the high price point. Enhancements include the aforementioned air conditioner, a built-in water mister, and even USB-C and USB-A ports for charging up devices on the go. A heat exchanger ensures more than three hours of chilly, dehumidified air blasts via the vent hose attachment. This clever attachment also silos the airflow in any direction for effective cooling.
But that’s not all. In addition, the Solo Stove cooler comes with its own rechargeable battery, plus a plug-in power adapter for lengthier escapades. It also boasts rugged all-terrain wheels and a telescopic handle for easy transport. There are also smaller bonuses included, like a built-in bottle opener, lid kickstand and easy rear drain plug. It truly is the MacGyver of coolers!
Solo Stove's new cooler marks their first foray into cool-centric products—in more ways than one.
The Solo Stove Windchill 47 is currently on preorder, with an estimated shipping date of June 16, 2025. It retails for around $650, making it just about double the price of the legendary YETI cooler. While it’s definitely not a budget option, the prospect of built-in air conditioning is priceless for folks who endure sweltering summers.
