Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Unlike most of the other wheeled coolers, this one has the handle on the back. It's retractable with a push button release, like the tow handle on a suitcase. I like this design better because I'm very tall, and the ones with the handles on the end would usually have the bottom scrape along the ground when pulling them. No problems with that here. The wheels are large, and it's easier to pull over rough ground than smaller wheeled coolers. There's also a drain at the back, under where the handle retracts. The inside is sloped so that most of the water runs out if it's on level ground. Or you can just use the handle as a lever to tip it up to make it drain faster. So far it keeps 20 pounds of ice up to 5 days, but we haven't gotten to the really hot weather here yet. I probably could have put another 20 pounds in it and still had room left over. The handles on the sides are sturdy and easy to grip. I had no problems lifting it with the ice in it. It's easy to clean on the inside, with rounded corners that don't trap crud. The only drawbacks are the width, and the lid not having a latch. Since you're dragging it by the short end, it's much wider than other coolers and may not fit through some stairways and doors. Just grab a handle on one of the ends and pull it through. The lid does stay on reasonably well by friction, but I wouldn't trust it if it tipped over with something heavy inside. The width does mean that it's much, much tougher to tip over when pulling it, though. Overall, a nice cooler that holds a lot of ice, pulls easier over gravel, and doesn't scrape on the ground. I'm happy with mine. Edit: After using it for a couple of weeks, I wanted to add that the handle and wheel design means most of the weight of the cooler is resting on the wheels, instead of pulling on your arm. It's much less tiring to pull long distances than my old one with the tow handle on the end. I'm also really liking the molded handles. Some of the coolers I've used in the past with swing out handles had a disturbing amount of flex. It felt like the handles were about to snap off lifting the cooler when it was full. Others had handles that were molded depressions in the sides, which made the weight of the cooler rest painfully on your fingertips. This one has solid towel bar type handles that you can easily wrap your entire hand around. Edit: Three years and many, many fishing trips later, it's still going strong, still holding ice for days. No breaks or leaks. Looks like it will last for a lot longer too. Buy one and you won't regret it.
