Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I never write reviews. The performance of this cooler changed that. I was looking for a cooler for weekend camping trips. We tent camp, and also have a pop up camper, as well as a pontoon boat for lake days. I could not bring myself to spend hundreds of dollars on the popular “sports coolers,” even the cheaper Wal Mart version. Took a chance with this, and it paid off. Weekend after weekend, this cooler keeps everything cold the entire time. Our most recent trip was 3 days; humid, 90’s daytime and humid, upper 70’s night time. Everything was still cold with ice left by the time we got home. The key is to have everything pre cooled, and I highly recommend the Cooler Shock ice packs available on Amazon. Those, along with ice and everything tightly packed, and you will be set for 3-5 days, depending on outside temps. If you need a cooler to keep things 7-10 days or more, then sure, spend hundreds. But, if you’re like me, and the majority of everyone, 3-5 days is plenty. Save your money, buy this cooler. Side note concerning the telescoping handle: I’ve seen a few complaints from other reviews, but as long as you don’t try to use the handle to lift the cooler when it’s filled, or for any other purpose than tilting it back and pulling it behind you, then it will be completely fine.
