Interesting concept

$140 for a "cooler" that cools 10-20deg below ambient? No thanks. I don't really have any use for that.

They do however show it (or prototypes) in use in some 3rd world type places. That makes a lot more sense to me. 10-20deg for them could certainly help I imagine.

For what most people are used to, I completely agree. Working this hurricane I have to think that a cooler like that would be nice just to keep veggies and stuff for a little longer. Under normal circumstances though, not worth the price. Also, situations like power outages in the US don't last long enough to make keeping that cooler around during the 99% of the time that people do have power.

Hurricane = high humidity (for quite some time after)

It's going to cool even less with high humidity. Theoretically 10 degrees above dew point unless it has something like a Peltier junction, and that takes power.
