Can I take an electric cooler on a plane?

and if need be take the cooler as a carry on. On the other hand, the appliances you mention are pretty cheap and won't add much to the cost of your trip if you purchase and leave them behind. So long as the cooler meets weight and size requirements, no problem. Be sure to secure the cover, straps, and handles properly.
