KENAI65 Cooler | 65 qt Ice Chest Durable Rotomolded Insulated | Made in USA | Warranty for Life | for Beach Boat Camping Fishing Hunting | K65

I bought this cooler to transport home-grown beef over a two-day 1200 mile trip. The beef and the ice were in the cooler for approximately 31 hours in August heat and the ice I placed on top of the contents looked almost as fresh as when I put it in. Not one package of beef was lost. This cooler performed as well as if not better than the YETI I had borrowed for this trip. In addition, this cooler is made in the United States and sells for a $100 less than a YETI 65 quart cooler. I'm looking forward to purchasing this cooler in the 45 quart version.

Bought it for a trip to the Gulf with family friends. We needed to pack in all our food so we needed something pretty large to get everything down there and keep it cool for the 8 hour trip in the blazing Southern Summer heat in the back of the truck. Loaded it up with some ice packs the night before to cool it, which i think is key. Packed it to the gills with food and a bag and a half of ice. Got to the beach house and everything was ice cold. Unpacked it and loaded it up with ice and left it on the back deck (which got just baked by the sun all day with 98 degree sun). Used at as our ice station for drinks all week. When it was time to leave there was still ice in it. there was plenty of water as well, but enough ice to fill a couple yeti tumblers for the drive home. We had some food in the freezer that we needed to pack back and bought some fish from the local fish monger on they way out along with some crawfish boudin (also legit) two big bags of ice and 9 hours later we're home and the frozen foods were frozen solid.Long story short it is a great cooler for about $100 less than other roto-molded coolers of the same size. My buddy had the same size cooler that was left inside and I would say the Kenai out performed it, which I pointed out to him numerous times over the course of the week. Now I don't hunt bears in the Yukon or go on week long fishing excursions, so we had no issues with the latches which seems to be the biggest gripe. They were snug enough to keep it shut tight but easy enough for my three year old to open up. No complaints.

Doesn't come with a basket for the inside. No big deal. That left room for the bodies I was able to store inside all chopped up. And kept them cool until they could be disposed of, like three days later. It kept the smell inside and didn't leak also. Shhh. Don't tell.

Very durable, watched several comparisons with the big brand yeti coolers, does the exact same job for half the price. Holds ice for quite a while, and if you follow cooler/ice instructions, ice can last for several days. After ice is gone, products inside cooler still stay very cold for at least a few days, if kept indoors. For outdoors, take away a day or so. Product came assembled and ready to use, they design the latches to be easy to detach, but makes a good and proper seal all the way around, that was my once concern, I was worried for nothing. I recommend this product and other kenai products for once in a while use and the everyday/every week usage.

This cooler is made like a rock and weighs like a rock… not a light cooler! U get what u pay for! The ice keeps cold for about 3 days as long as you don’t keep opening it! But if u do, the ice is melted but it’s still cold! The color is awesome! Would highly recommend!

I haven’t got a single complaint about this cooler except that it doesn’t carry itself. It’s solidly made, easy to use, keeps ice for a very long time even if you’re sloppy about how long you leave the top open and how frequently. We mostly use it for multi-day camping trips, road trips, and bringing seafood back from the coast. I’ve never used a Yeti, but I couldn’t shell out that much just because it’s the hot (cool?) thing and well-marketed. I’m sure they’re great, but I’m delighted with this one. Happy I took a chance after reading some thoughtful reviews. It is a better cooler than I or probably you need.

Just received my cooler and let me tell you it’s so much more than I was expecting! It’s huge, very well made, made in the USA and the color options are awesome! Can’t love this thing more!Come on summer and camping season! Will update my review once we use it this coming Memorial Day. I have high hopes for this pretty cooler!

I bought this over the Y brand because I got a little more space for close to the same price. I like the molded edges and it never leaks a bit of melted water. I like the top surface, it doubles as an extra seat or a table if needed. It does hold ice for a few days. I need to try it a few more times before I decide. I will update.
