Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

It's a cooler that floats!! Let’s talk about it first. The quality is excellent. The drink holders are solid and hold well. The extra storage areas around the sides are perfect. And the cooler area, plenty big to hold a 12 pack, some food, and some water. Just fill it up with some ice and close the lid. The lid is solidly attached on one side with Velcro on the other. It will stay in place no problem and provides protection for your contents. If you purchase another of the Intex floating tubes you can connect this right to them with the special clips and rope that are provided. This keeps the cooler right where you want it. I used this cooler for going down the river on a recent trip. There were two coolers to choose from. This one and the much larger rectangular one. My review will focus on the good and bad points of both of these. Getting to the river with this float can be a pain if you have to walk from your trunk down there. First, the cooler is inflated, full of ice, the contents and kind of bulky to walk with. If you don’t have to walk far then you are lucky. Plus, you are probably going to have to bring everything to the river in another cooler and then put it in this one when you get there. Now, if you have a round cooler that will slide into this, great, perfect, wonderful. I didn’t. Someone on our trip had the Intex rectangular floating cooler. They did not have the lid on it. They filled their cooler at home with everything they needed, ice, drinks, etc. When we got to the river, they filled their tubes and carried the cooler to the river, and dropped the cooler into the tube. Done. I, on the other hand, took my cooler to the river, poured the contents into this floating cooler, and then I too was done. Except, I had to walk back to the trunk to put my other cooler back…extra trip. So what bonus does this have over the other? The drink holders and the storage area. You don’t get that with the rectangular cooler. Plus, it is a bit smaller, a little bit easier to maneuver, and I had no problem figuring out which cooler was mine, as nobody had one like this. One last thought. Do you have a pool? This is the perfect cooler for your pool. Let me repeat, this works great on the river if you can be a bit organized, but at home in the pool….perfect.
