20 Best Cooler For Keeping Ice (2023 Updated)

awesome little cooler for a fraction of the cost of the Yeti’s and other rpotomolded coolers. I’m pretty well versed in coolers and understand that roto molded coolers do give you longer ice retention and are much more durable (against bears).

However, this cooler is roughly $200 cheaper than those coolers and offers exceptional value. I just used it for a 3 day camping trip. It sat in a hot car (window tinted) the entire day before even making it to my camp spot and by the time I got home 3 days later- I still had ice in it and the water was frigid cold.

Theres no doubt I would have gotten probably 1 more day of the last bit of ice I had in there and definitely 2-3 more days of cold water to keep beers and food cold. Overall, I would say this cooler would provide you with 5-6 days of cold enough temperatures without having to make an ice run.

*Note- I did do a slight upgrade to it. Even though it has a seal at the top- I still put an extra water sealant from the local hardware store which gave it a water tight seal (I filled it with water and tossed the cooler around/upside down to test for leaks- there were none).

If you want to save $200, this was a $5 fix to help keep it up with the Roto Molded coolers out there. Also, it came with a basket (a $25 upgrade with Yeti and others) and included a drain plug, which is NOT standard on the smaller Yeti and other coolers.

Highly HIGHLY recommend this cooler.

Tried it out for a week. Worked at a jobsite in palm springs for two 107 degree days doing HVAC work. Left it in the van in shade and Ice completely melted in two days. Supposedly, it holds ice for 4 days.

The next two days worked out in two different high desert areas in between 98 degrees and 103 degrees. Same thing happened only held ice for two days and turned into water completely. Kept drinks and food cold decently.

I highly doubt 30 cans can fit in the cooler when I had like 6 water bootles, 3 small body armors, and trey with food. Took it back and got a refund.

Loaded cooler with 16 small bottles of water and left it inside our motor home in colorado 9,000. ft camp ground in a shaded area where our motor home was parked at our camp site. Ice last less then 4 days but kept water cool / not cold.

I have other coolers which we use and have gotten at least 5 -7 days up to 10 days before ice melted. I like the construction of this cooler which seems to be heavy duty but I would have exspected better insulation with less ice melt.

We will continiue to use but will be careful of our exspections of what to put in it in.

Yeti, years after releasing the tundra haul still hasn’t released a basket or divider for their cooler because they cut corners and used an old mold for the interior. We spent hundreds of dollars on the newest release wheeled collar and here we are years later and they still won’t support accessories for a cooler that contains no disclaimer about the accessories.

Because this cooler is on wheels and designed to be at an angle when rolling it absolutely needs a divider, everything shifts when it tips. Then because they don’t sell a basket you can’t keep your delicate produce, or eggs, or anything for that matter out of the ice and water.

I was a loyal stanch supporter of Yeti till now. Bad on them. It takes absolutely nothing. NOTHING, to design a basket and divider for this cooler that even has a groove for a divider. Shame on you YETI, you’ve lost a customer, supporter, and advocate for your brand.

DO NOT BUY THIS COOLER.

As an avid Yeti customer, I didn’t have a second thought about purchasing a Tundra Haul, when I needed a larger cooler. My other cooler is a Yeti Hopper Flip. Subsequently, when I received the Tundra Haul I was surprised at the empty weight of the cooler, 37 lbs.

I have used my Tundra twice, since receiving it in June. I find it very cumbersome and heavy, especially when filled with ice, cans and food. The second time I used it, after adding an 8 lb. bag of ice, 18 beverage cans and food (hamburgers, cheese, hot dogs, brats) the cooler weighed in excess of 65 lbs.

Subsequently, I needed help lifting it, in and out of my SUV (Explorer) and up and down several flights of steps. Granted, the wheels are great for flat surfaces, but if you need to go up stairs or on rough/rocky terrain, the wheels do not provide any convenience.

If you have a full cooler, and you aren’t a weight lifter, you will need help carrying your cooler. Although the handle is very sturdy, it limits you from navigating the cooler up stairs or over rocky ground.

Subsequently, the bottom of the cooler scraps against the stairs or rocks. You’ll need a second person to help carry the cooler, if you are going up several flights of stairs or any distance over rough terrain.

I wrestled with purchasing the Tundra 65, which weighs 8 lbs less, or the Tundra 45, which weighs 14 lbs less. Both are designed with strong, convenient rope carry handles, which the Tundra Haul doesn’t have.

Therefore, it is difficult to carry the Hauler, in situations where the wheels are not possible. Wish I could return the Hauler in exchange for a Tundra 45 or Tundra 65. As mentioned, other than the weight, the Tundra Hauler is terrific on flat surfaces.

Navigating stairs or rough terrain, the cooler is no more convenient than one of the other other Tundra Products.

let me start out with the fact that my family has 3 of these bad boys. That’s how much we love them. My one brother and I referee competitive soccer together and during the summer tournament season we’re consistently in the hot weather for 8+ hours a day and need cool refreshments throughout the day.

Not to mention most of the days are spent on astro turf so add an extra 20 degrees on your summer day. It’s nice to have a color that you only need to fill with ice once every three days. This bad boy consistently keeps drinks cold even during the blistering summer heat without any shade covering.

Also, I live next to the coast of North Carolina by OBX. It’s great to have a cooler that I can wheel through the sand. Only default I may add is that the wheels aren’t necessarily big enough for the deep sand but if you walk on the packed sand by the ocean everything tends to be smooth.

But once again, great to have a cooler that withstands the OBX heat all days and keeps the beverages icy cold even when the weather down here reaches 100+ with 100% humidity. Can fit an extensive amount of beverages and even tall wine bottles yet still has plenty of room to be filled to the brim with ice.

Thank goodness for the wheels because i wouldn’t want to carry the cooler if your family packs it tight like mine does. Draining is easy with the plug that Yeti has added and gets rid of 95% of the water.

Like I said earlier, There’s a reason my family own 3 of these. Would totally buy again.

I have friends with Yetis and have been around them a lot and knew there had to be something better for the money. I got the green 40qt one and love it! Its taken residency in the bed of my truck as my lunch box for work.

Perfect for carrying extra drinks and snacks on top of my normal lunch. I really like the fact that I can lock it in my truck with a basic bike lock cable and padlock rather than having to buy a special locking strap kit, or use a normal ratchet strap to secure it rather than again buying a special strap kit because the slots are actually big enough unlike a Yeti.

Also the 40 is true to the interior volume so that gets me more cooler for the money. The 2in drain is also a big plus over other coolers since you can drain water in seconds when replenishing ice, and the plug is even insulated! The rope handles also help save space over models that have molded ones that stick out an extra 4in per side.

On ice retention, living in the back of my truck with 80+ temps outside in the sun, Ive been getting 5 days out of 20lb gas station ice and precooled drinks, also keeping the cold water in as long as I can! I think longer ice life can easily be attained with solid block ice and/or frozen drinks ahead of time, as well as keeping the cooler out of the direct sun.

So far this cooler is a much better value than a yeti with a few nicer features that Yetis and others, its hard to beat with a lifetime warranty and ALL coolers being made in the USA!.

I love this cooler! I had done some research before purchasing because the price was similar to the Yetis but Yetis no longer have seafoam green/mint and my wedding colors are mint soI wanted something to match.

My favorite thing is the color, of course. But we purchased this and used it for July 4th weekend along side my brother also brought his Yeti he has I believe the same size but its a little smaller on the inside.

so that was one of the differences, but we set both our coolers, filled with the same amount of ice out in the hot Texas sun by the pool. We actually did 2-3 days in a row. I did have to refill the ice the second day cause it was melted but not completely and it was still cold in the cooler but I wanted fresh ice.

I also love the water emptying drain. Its huge! It gets rid of water quickly and easily. The handles are also great. I would say it comparable to the Yeti with only a few minor differences. It also comes with a lifetime warranty.

Which if your spending the money, you want your cooler to last. I did have problems with the lid slamming down on myself and anyone trying to use it but I contacted the company asking about how to fix this and without even hesitating sent me a label to reship the cooler and sent me a new one and now the lid stays open! Great company and I am so pleased with my awesome mint cooler!! I recommend it for anyone on the fence about purchasing one.

I love the mint! I hope they expand their color line!.

I wanted to use this for a while before posting a review. So here it goes. Wow! Wish we would have bought this many years ago. Been wasting time, money, and ice using two coolers of another brand. Grizzly is certainly the way to go.

We used two 1/2 gallon frozen bottles instead of ice cubes and did not have to add any ice for more than 2 days while the cooler even sat in the sun. This includes 2 days across Missouri, Kansas, and Colorado with temperatures above 96 degrees.

I just dont have any complaints and think anyone would be satisfied with this purchase. Made in Iowa!.

Recently left New Jersey and went to Tennessee for a family vacation. Packed Coleman cooler with frozen meats including fish. I placed 3 small ice packs on top. Outside temperature was in the 90s. Stopped at various attractions on the way.

Car interior was blistering sometimes for hours when we were not driving. Upon arrival at our destination, cooler had been in car for 2 days. I never opened the cooler while traveling. What a relief to find everything still frozen.

I can verify that this cooler works as promised.

We had the in-laws over for an extended weekend visit and the Coleman Xtreme kept all the soothing beverages cold for days. The ice finally melted at the end, but by that time it didn’t matter. All we had to do was restock this good looking cooler for the thirsty relatives not to mention the wife and myself.

It was just so easy for people to go and help themselves to cold drinks anytime they wanted. One less thing to worry about. Thank you Coleman.

Perfect Cooler!! Coleman hits it out of the park with their new Extreme line of coolers. It’s deep and just the right size for the cooler/buffet I plan to build for a friend’s poolside. The cooler is part of a 1930s “style” buffet.

(Cooler on the R) The design will also include a specialized homemade wine bottle cooler (M) also recessed but removable with a drain plug and well-insulated. And in between those two coolers is the stainless steel or brass re-enforced hole to receive a 9′ rectangle market umbrella.

Then next on the end area (L), will be a 10″ x 10″ piece of Travertine for a cutting board. Travertine holds up well outside. Behind the cutting board will be 3 plastic recessed containers for sliced limes, lemons, and oranges.

Under the top will be cabinet doors. Inside I’ll put in one shelf plus the existing shelf of the bottom of this buffet under the cutting board. The side under the cooler will be a wine rack for 6 bottles.

It can be used for anything from wine bottles, plates.

I have a Yeti problem: I just can’t stop. Why do I need more than one Rambler or more than one cooler? Because new colors! Because nothing on the market compares to Yeti, in my opinion, and they’re good investments.

I have the Haul and the 45, oh and the Soft 12. They each have a purpose and my justification for this Roadie was that since it was hard sided, it would be good for solo trips where ice would need to be retained for longer than one day (boo I’m looking at you, Soft 12!), but it needed to be more transportable than the 45 when alone.

The hard coolers obviously keep ice better and for that it can have five stars, but transportable? Definitely not. The short strap along with the size of the cooler when full makes this painful to carry.

I bring this sucker into hotels with me and I strap it to my luggage and roll it in. It hits the side of your body when you try to carry it and it’s just so awkward and uncomfortable. The strap hurts my hand.

To be fair, you knew that before purchasing. You also knew that there was no drain plug and I didn’t think I’d care, but after lifting it in hotel bathtubs to empty water and add more ice, it’s a pain.

So: while this does a great job at retaining ice for trips where you don’t need as much cooler space, the awkward maneuverability and the lack of a drain plug make it cumbersome to work with. I understand that a drain plug would take up valuable space in an already tiny cooler, but tipping it is too hard.

They could add a mini drain plug.

I purchased this cooler in Oct. 2021 for traveling to my camper in the mountains on the weekends. I typically stay 1 or 2 nights. My other cooler (different brand name) would allow food items (closest to the top) to spoil while sitting in the hot car during the day while at work.

A contractor friend of mine told me how well his Yeti cooler kept ice & drinks cold in his work truck, even during the summer. I decided to finally buy a Yeti. So far, I have been very pleased with this cooler.

I typically use reusable ice packs. I’ll place 1 in the cooler the night before use, then remove it and place 2 ice packs from the freezer. Next, I’ll place my food items in the cooler. The inside of the cooler gets slightly smaller from top to bottom.

After a day or two, the ice packs are still frozen, with very little defrosting. I have really been surprised at how long the ice packs keep the inside of the cooler cold. I do not foresee having any items spoil inside this cooler near the top like my old cooler did.

I will be using this cooler to keep cold drinks inside the car while traveling on vacations as well. Very heavy duty cooler. I should have bought this cooler years ago!.

We finally decided to give a Yeti cooler a try after liking their insulated bottles. Yes, it’s a chunk of change which is why we drug our feet, but we were going for a weekend trip and didn’t want to worry about buying ice.

My wife gets cold deliveries in boxes so we used the freezer pack from one of those along with some other smaller freezer packs. We used it primarily to keep food items cold and were impressed how well it did.

The cooler is not light, but feels robust, well made and could double as a step stool. The inside looked small at first but we were able to get a lot inside and more than we initially thought. The better insulation and construction translated to less ice and packs needed than other regular coolers, so it’s a good tradeoff there.

The latches are cool too. I actually read the cooler instructions and it essentially says to condition the cooler before use. Cool it down with sacrificial ice before putting in your trip ice. Dang, that’s smart if you have that extra ice and time.

Go have some fun.

Cooler works great, even though I had to buy it two times in order to get the right color. Also the little rubber gasket in the drain plug was completely torn up before even using it (same thing with my IMX 24) so my cooler leaked.

I had my IMX 24 inside my tent and I woke up to a little swimming pool and spent my morning cleaning it up and drying everything it wet. I ripped up a Ziploc bag and shoved it in the cap of the drain plug in closed it.

My seal works way better then there cheap almost non-existent seal. Holds ice pretty well and it’s a decent size. The star rating is mostly because of the leaking and the fact that I was sent the wrong color.

When I called the customer service they weren’t really much help either, plus the lady was rude. Was just asking about the refund policy, and she said there was no need for me to refund it because they sent me the tan/black when they infact sent me and red cooler.

I was explaining that I received a red cooler and she just kept on saying that they sent a tan/black one to me.

I’ve only had this cooler for a couple of weeks and used it for a week long trip on my boat. I have 3 igloo coolers and I have really come to like the brand. So I bought this one. Here’s the real scoop from an igloo fan.

First, this cooler is very (VERY) large and bulky. Thats a good thing if you want a very large cooler. It’s a bad thing if you want to save room, say. On your boat, for instance. It is also fairly heavy.

Given the size and weight, when it is loaded, I prefer having two people to carry it. Next, If you are just going on a day trip to the lake, I can’t justify spending the money on a high-end cooler. I have a regular 55 qt igloo cooler that holds ice all day and usually when I clean out my boat the following afternoon it still has some ice and nothing went bad or spoiled.

I live in central Texas. Third, the quality of this cooler is absolutely top-notch. I have no doubt this cooler will last me a lifetime, literally. I can stand on the cooler without any bend to it at all.

The rubber feet do stop it from sliding around. That’s great if you have it in the back of your truck while driving. It’s bad if you want to move it over an inch while in your boat or rv. When this mammoth is loaded down with stuff and ice it is extremely heavy.

THE THING EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW: YES. It did hold ice for my entire week long trip. It was outside, in my boat, the entire trip, it never left the back of my boat. It was uncovered and exposed to the elements.

It was cooler weather, never got above 72° outside and I had quite a bit of rain. It also got down in the 40s where I was at for about 2 days. So, I can’t say what it will do in the summer. yet. Another thing to consider is how much ice it takes in order to keep the ice from rapidly melting, due to the cooler’s size.

With food, beer and water, I originally put 2 bags (20lbs total) of ice in it and it started to melt almost immediately. The next day I put another bag in and it held steady. I never added any more. Bottom line: I would definitely recommend this cooler.

But the price is a bit heavy for a day (or two) trip cooler. It is also extremely large. It has a ruler, 4 self draining cup holders, and a bottle opener built-in, which are nice touches, and a basket that I love.

I wish they made a 50-55 qt in this exact model. The next size down currently in production is just way to dang small for anything more than a sack lunch. When they do finally come out with a 50-55 qt cooler, I will definitely buy one, would definitely buy it again, and would absolutely recommend it.

It is also a very attractive cooler and the asthetics of the cooler is by far the best of any cooler in my opinion.

Yeti coolers are so hyped up, and I can see the reason why. I really like this cooler. It’s small, but as someone who is usually traveling/camping on my own it’s great for one person. Its ice retention is great and the drain is even better.

My last cooler (a cheap Igloo – terrible) didn’t have a drain, and my food was forever being ruined from sitting in water, so a drain was one of my big requirements when searching for a new cooler. While, as many have pointed out, the drain cap is not attached and could be lost, this hasn’t been a problem so far, and the way the drain is set into the floor of the cooler means that it can drain completely dry without being tipped up at all – this is my favorite feature of the cooler.

My complaints, such as they are, are minor. I’m not sold on the rope handles; I often find myself wishing they were rigid, and generally just grab the body of the cooler itself to carry it. My least favorite feature is probably the nonslip rubber feet.

If you were using this somewhere like a boat I can see how this might be something you want, but I’m using it for camping and travelling, so the cooler is on hotel room carpets, the carpeted floor of my car, or dirt.

I have never once been glad the nonslip feet were keeping the cooler in place, but have very regularly wished that I could push it across the floor. As I said, though, this is a minor complaint and inconsequential to the actual function of the cooler.

I actually did not buy this cooler but received it as a gift from the company I work for. My wife and i took a week vacation from upstate New York to Florida. We decided to drive because airfare was a little too expensive.

Long story short, I packed the Tundra 35 with ice the day before we left and emptied 3/4 of the ice out for the trip. We left on a wed. And arrived on Saturday in Florida. Everything was either still frozen or extremely cold upon arrival to which I was seriously amazed ! I opened the drain on the cooler and only drained maybe a cup of water from the 3 day trip !! I know these YETI products can seem expensive, but they live up to the hype.

My daughter and son have borrowed the cooler from us a couple times and they loved it also. If you actually put hands on any of the YETI coolers you immediately realize they are not made cheaply or from thin lite weight material.

My suggestion is if your in the market to buy a cooler, spend the money and get great quality and don’t worry about throwing the cooler out after 3 years.

First off, I have never been a Yeti fan but bought the Tundra 35 as its size mad it the only high performance cooler of its capacity, with a basket, we can use in a specific location. I have for years used old 1/2 gallon milk jugs filled with water and frozen to pre cool my coolers.

Did so with the Tundra, over night. Put 6 beverage cans in then 10# ice and as much various food items as I could fit in the basket. It sat in our trailer (no electricity for the AC) at up to 91 degrees (confirmed with a thermometer with memory feature) all day then through the night, opening it about 15 times.

Ice appeared to not melt at all. After getting home the next day we emptied all but the ice. Left the cooler sit for an additional day at room temp. About one qt of water was drained from the cooler.

Anxious to see how it holds up to a more challenging trip. I agree it’s overpriced but I’m impressed. (Can’t deduct a star for the price since I knew it and bought it anyway).

I wanted a large cooler. This thing is one or two steps above large. It’ HUGE! I thought it was the same as a large cooler a friend has which was big, but not as big as this. So if you want a huge cooler that’s a bonus! For me, I can make it work but it’s a little bigger than I really need for a large cooler.

Other than that, I wish the lid had a latch of some kind. I may add something. It’s not heavy but if you have anything in this cooler it would require 2 people to move it, it’s just too large to pick up alone because of the size.

I would probably still have purchased this anyway. Great price and I plan on filling up all the extra space with frozen gallons of water instead of buying ice and dealing with the floating butter mixed with hotdog juice scenario that always seems to happen with bagged ice.

I bought this for a graduation party. Afterwards I left it on the porch in the summer and the ice remained for over a week. Then the temp of the melted ice was keeping the remaining drinks cool. Now I use it as a outdoor fridge in the winter to keep extra drinks cold and to stash the abundance of leftovers from the holidays.

It is easy to clean and the only thing I wish it had were wheels.

We love this thing! It still had ice and ice cold drinks three days later! We purchased this because we had a large group coming over. We loaded it with 8 cases of soda and two cases of water. The rest was ice.

There was still ice three days later and everything was extremely cold! We love it!.

Just used our new cooler for the first time. Overall it performed well. My only concern is about the latches. They don’t appear to be designed as well as the rest on the cooler. Hoping the stainless steel replacements avaiable online will work better and last longer.

Contents stayed cold as the ice kept for 4 days in mid 90’s temps. Good purchase.

I’ve had this product for about two and a half years and I have used it on many hunting and fishing trips. Pros: Affordable. Wheels and extendable handle are convenient. Large capacity. Light weight.

Cons: Doesn’t keep items cold for long. Ice won’t typically last a full 24 hours. Latch construction isn’t durable. I’ve have used this cooler on many trips and it has served me well. However, this is NOT a multi-day cooler and will not keep ice for more than a day (nor should you expect it to for the price).

More importantly, the latches are really poor quality. The first latch on my cooler broke off after about 18 months of use (probably 6 hunting trips and a dozen fishing trips). The second latch broke off after 24 months of use.

The wheels are surprisingly solid. I’ve rolled this cooler through some pretty rough terrain and they have held up well. The slide-out handle is a nice addition, however, within the first 6 months or so it started getting stuck and difficult to pull out and push in.

Would I recommend? Yes, but only for light use and not for extended trips. The bottom line is, if you are going to buy a 120 dollar cooler but have to replace it every 2-3 years you would probably be better served buying a 300 dollar cooler that will last you 10 years and hold ice longer (RTIC, Yeti, etc).

However, when you don’t have the money to splurge on one of those expensive coolers, then this is a viable option.

Got it just in time for our extended camping weekend. We filled it on a Tuesday and added ice. We added ice again on Friday, and one more bag on Sunday. By Monday afternoon everything was still cold and the last bag of ice was completely in tact! Easy to move around.

Very happy with our purchase.

I was looking for a cooler that was relatively large (for camping) but also had wheels; because I often find myself having to haul my cooler a pretty significant distance from camp sites or parking spaces.

There’s a few that fit that bill but this one caught my eye for a few reasons in the store. 1. The plastic seems like a higher quality. It’s not flimsy at all (sans the handle and I’ll get to that). The actual cooler is very solid feeling, the plastic latches are better than most in this price range.

2. The fact that it had latches was a huge selling point. Many in this range simply rely on friction to keep closed. Having latches (with metal hinges) to lock the lid is great. 3. The seal as you close it seems really good.

You can hear air sucking in or out when you open/close the lid. So it has a really nice seal for being plastic on plastic; which for a cooler is a good thing. 4. Tons of room inside without a lot of wasted space.

So, the only real big complaint I have so far is that the handle (while seemingly sturdy) does have a little flex in it at the joints. But that’s a rather minor complaint. It doesn’t seem like it will break, I just think they could have beefed those up a bit more to match the rest of the unit.

There is a plastic (fixed) handle on that side as well, so you are able to carry it like a normal cooler without wheels. I really just like the cooler. I’m not expecting it to be a top of the line unit.

We are now on our second cooler like this. So, that tells you something. For a cheap, rolling cooler it does a great job. The lid is kind of cheap compared to the body, and that’s what keeps it from being a 5 star, but ice retention is pretty good.

We fill it up with room temp drinks and gatorades, then put fruit and lunchables etc. in it before filling with ice. It’ll usually hold ice for the travel ball tournament weekend. I know that’s only a couple days, but we also take none of the steps to prep the cooler that allows for the 5-7 day ice retention.

That requires cooling the inside with ice, then putting already refridgerated drinks and snacks in it. So I never expected the best retention. We also have a terrible food and drink to ice ratio. I think the ratings are pretty spot on.

It’s not a yeti cooler but for the price it is a much better quality than most. I’d recommend for sure!.

First and foremost, this was the cheapest cooler I could find on any site with the reviews it had so I took a chance. I go car camping a lot but I have always used other peoples coolers and never owned one myself.

This one is a lot lighter than I thought which was equally good and bad, I was worried about its ability but let me tell you how unfounded my worries were. I put a large and small bag of ice (about 24 lbs) in the cooler at 2pm on Saturday and camped in 88 degree weather.

I wanted to test it, and for two days it sat outside directly in the sun. It is now Monday night and there is still ice. Is it mostly melted? Yes. Is it still pretty cold? Also yes. For the price I could not have asked for anything else, I feel like I got a much better cooler than what I paid for.

Own over 50 of these coolers, there are no other choices for the 120 quart capacity. Igloo started a while back learning how to save a few pennies by going to different screws that rust away and MUCH thinner plastic.

Not filled with as much foam any longer compared to the older ones I have. The handles just rip away when filled to capacity even when brand new! Fix is to go through the screw holes with a stainless bolt and large fender washer.

YES, rain water ALWAYS fills these coolers, we cover them with tarps! Plastic hinges? Are “designed” to simply break! We use two different hinges, one stainless which is the best, but the larger hinge stick out too much.

MUCH better though the outer lid plastic is so thin, the screws will eventually wear out that plastic and fall out. This is NOT a Bass Pro problem, it is an Igloo problem! Attempting to cut costs at the expense of the customers.

Unfortunately, what other choices do we have at 120? The 150 is much better, does not leak, better hinges, yet the STILL insist at igloo to place regular steel screws in them! CHEAP and thinking such as this WILL cause MANY problems for them instead of saving money! Have some old Igloo coolers from the early 80’s STILL and they are fine!? GEE, management seems to be the problem 100%! They do not “use” them every day like us fishermen!.

Family friends have used this cooler for years. I just bought one for a outdoor party in Ohio in June. It was hot and humid. The chest kept the entire stock of beer and water (beer) chilled for the whole party.

I overbought and because of the heat had to leave everything in the cooler until last night to clean it out. Everything had been sitting in my garage (in the same Ohio heat) since Saturday. Everything was still cold when I was hate loading the beer into my fridge.

So much so I had to open one for the effort. Works just as well as my Ozark Trailer cooler that hold half as much and cost three times this cooler.

I’ve have a 100 qt and a 120 qt igloo ice chests that I use for deer hunting. Both have lasted since 1997 under some pretty heavy use. As of this writing 1/22/21, the only issues have been to replace one latch that I broke, and one small crack on the exterior cabinet of the 100 quart cooler.

I repaired it with JB Weld several years ago and it hasn’t been a problem since. I couldn’t be more pleased with the performance of both of these coolers. I also use an igloo playmate that I have had for over forty years and it is as functional as it was on day one.

I highly recommend igloo coolers. Should any of the ones I have ever give up the ghost I wouldn’t hesitate to replace them with a new model of the same size.

It keeps the goods cool for 10 days but you need to prepare it with ice before you use it, keep it in the shadow and do not open and close constantly. Much better price than the Yeti equivalent and clearly a big level up from ordinary esky.

It is worth the money as I used it to bring very expensive produce to mainland from Tasmania in the ferry. Nothing was spoiled.

Using the interior dimensions provided yields a capacity of 4131 cubic inches or 71. 5 quarts. Hardly close to listed 80-quart capacity. Even ENGEL’s website states a lower capacity of 74 quarts with same interior dimensions.

Closer, but not accurate. Purchase with your eyes open and trust but verify.

Great cooler as far as stays cold on hot days if prepped probably. Even on the boat or at all day lax tournaments. Holds enough to have what you need without lugging a big cooler around. For tournaments which typically is an all day all weekend thing it will retain ice for the 3 days maybe 1 refill in there depending on temperature.

I usually keep a larger cooler in the truck (60) and refill this one as needed. Gave 3 stars cause it’s just a little to heavy to carry around and alse awkward to carry. Works great as a seat or footstool perfect height.

It’s just a dam pain to carry def like the old style with metal handle better. I ended up purchasing a small foldable hand truck wich I Bungie to as well as a chair for mobile days and works great. Also this cooler fits perfect right behind the center console in a quad or crew cab truck.

This is by far the best cooler that we’ve ever owned (granted it’s also the most expensive cooler we’ve ever owned). You get what you pay for & Yeti is the type of company that embodies that phrase. My partner & I split our year between Michigan & Oregon so we’re constantly driving cross country.

Living in two places we have locally made products on both sides of the country we’d rather not live without. We’ve lost so much food over the years to cheap coolers because we forgot to get ice every 8 hours.

Not anymore! We just made the trip from coast to coast last week and this kept everything cold for 4 full days using two Yeti freezer packs. We opened it a couple times to add things in which made the performance even more impressive.

I would definitely recommend this cooler if you do long road trips and needs something that’s going to keep your perishables cold for a few days.

This is oue designated RIVER cooler! This is a smaller and lighter cooler. It’s not as bulky as most coolers can be!! This cooler can fit in tighter spaces while still providing a good capacity. It’s designed to be able to stack multiple coolers on top of one another thanks to the lid design they won’t slide.

The new handle makes it a lot easier to carry around compared to the older handles that just popped off the sides(hard to hang on to). The lid closes tightly and is flat so we can use it as a little table to cut my watermelon or an extra seat! We went with the Red color so it was easy to spot! We fit a ton of drinks as well as all the fixings for sandwiches and still had room for a half watermelon! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for the perfect sized cooler to keep your things cold for hours!!.

et me start this review by saying I’ve tried several high end coolers including Yeti Roadie 20, Lifetime 28, and Ozark Trail 26 (Walmart brand). This cooler holds ice longer than all of them. no exaggeration.

I threw 6 frozen 12oz water bottles in the cooler with no pre-chill and kept the cooler in my hot 90+ degree hatchback all week at work. The bottles stayed frozen for 4 days. that’s impressive with no pre-chill! I think I could get 5+ days with a good pre-chill.

The cooler is also fully air tight and does not leak. It’s very durable as well. The only complaints I have is the khaki color. I would prefer white, or a light gray. And also the “Super Handy” logo is kind of an eye sore.

Fortunately it was easy to remove and replace with a sticker of my own. Still, for the price I paid on “lightning deal” this thing is a ste.

We had our Coleman cooler for years and it’s good for parties and get togethers. It keeps drinks nice and cold even with little ice and hot temperatures. It’s okay for a weekend or trips back and forth to cottage/trailer etc, but for long lasting cold you’ll need to look at a better quality option.

This one is rated for about 3 days which is accurate. It’s easy to clean and fairly strong, it will hold a 200lb man sitting on top easily so that’s pretty good, but I wouldn’t suggest pushing it past that often.

The outer shell washes well, but has been known to stain if anything is left sitting on it for prolonged time. Overall a good quality for a not too expensive cooler.
