Same thing as a Yeti, but better.
This is my first review and since this product doesn't have many reviews (could be from the company) I decided to give an unbiased review. I got this with a lightning deal and I wanted a cooler like a Yeti, but not spending $300 on a cooler. I did an ice test with this for the past four days and left it in the direct sunlight and it was really hot outside here in NH. I put a 20 pound bag of ice in with some water in it and then filled it with about 5 more pounds. I like water in the cooler because it's easier to sift through to get a beer. But the water would make it melt more. It lasted about 3 days where the final day there was barely any ice, but the water was still ice cold. I'd guess if I only put ice in it, it could have pushed another day so I might test it again with that. But again this was in the direct sunlight with record breaking temperatures and did very well. So it advertising 5 to 10 days if you put it in the shade or away from sunlight, I personally believe it could last that long. It has bottle openers on the corners as well as a pressure release button so you can actually open the cooler. Yeti and RTIC don't have these features which leads me to believe people are getting scammed from them and you're just buying the name.If you're looking for a cooler that is like a Yeti, but better and cheaper, this is your cooler!

Best cooler ever
Less than half the price of the leading competition and I would buy another one! I've tested it multiple times and I can say it does what is advertised.Fill the cooler with ice and it lasted 6 Days, of course that's without opening it just a few times to check. But I also tested it by putting a case of drinks in it and the ice lasted 4 days. Either way you look at it you can't go wrong with this cooler.

Perfect medium size cooler
This is a solid cooler. It can be difficult to lift for just one person due its width, but it is doable. It does a great job of keeping products cold. It seems like it’s made very well the lid locks into place very easily. It’s not super huge, but for a couple days trip, it can handle it.

3 year review
After 3 years of use, I am still very happy with this cooler. It keeps ice for 3-4 days! We recently drove across the country, west coast to east coast and it was HOT out. But our food stayed cold and I only had to add a bag of ice every 3 days. I originally put 2 bags in the cooler and every 3 days I would add a bag to keep it at the same level. I love this cooler!

Recommend for casual use-- Arizona Summers
#1) It really stinks upon arrival and the smell took 3 days to clear. Smells strongly of chemicals, it's pretty yukky and my instincts are that it's harmful to the lungs.#2) Just like the cheaper coolers, you still have to put a ton of frozen packs in it to maintain the cold. About 25% of the space is used up just for ice packs and frozen bottles.#3) Despite weighing 30 pounds with no wheels, it's pretty easy to maneuver- the handles are flexible but very sturdy and even tho I do not have a long reach (I'm under 5' tall) I can still carry it easily.#4) It's attractive, extremely sturdy and it could be used as a seat and step stool without worry of damage.#5) The plug is awesome in quality and has several threads so it gets the job done right.I recommend this cooler, even in the hottest days here in Arizona, for normal cooler uses like camping,bbqs, whatever. But, I don't believe ice would stay frozen for several days.

Very impressed
This cooler is durable! I needed a strong cooler for use as a cooler seat for my boat. This thing is a tank, very well made, stainless steel hardware, gasket seals great. When I received it I had to open the drain plug a little because the lid was vacuum sealed shut on the cooler. Ice retention is very good. This is a heavy quality cooler at a good price.

Nowhere close to the 5 day ice retention claim
The build quality and the aesthetic is great. However, I packed the cooler with 20 lbs of ice and all of it has completely melted within 2 days which is far from the 5 day ice retention claim. Its been sitting on a shaded porch in Maine and the temps haven't even reached 80 these last two days so I was expecting much more out of this cooler. I'll give it another shot but if the results are similar then unfortunately I'll be returning this cooler and looking elsewhere. Update to follow.Update #1: I bought another 10 lbs of ice for the last night and drive back from ME to MA. The ice didn't even make it to the 30 hour mark. It's a shame because I like everything else about this cooler. It not retaining ice for more than 30 hours put it on par with my 50% cheaper Coleman cooler of similar size which is a big let down. I'll be forced to return this cooler and look elsewhere for something that can retain ice closer to that 5 day mark.Update #2: I contacted the seller and they offered to send me a replacement. Hopefully the replacement fairs better then this one in my tests. Update to follow.

Durable but disappointing
I have mixed feelings about this. I've been using it as a fridge in my converted school bus full time and trying tweek my methods to get it to stay colder, longer. It really doesn't hold the temperature as well as I would have liked. Especially for such a high price. When I had bagged ice from the store in there (about 7 pounds worth) it would stay colder longer bc it would melt and I would leave the cold water in there. But that wasn't great to deal with. I had to be strategic about how I put my food in so nothing got soggy and things would float and bob. I got some heavy duty icy packs and tried those in attempt to have it be less messy and not have to drain and they stayed cold for maybe 2 days whereas the ice/cold water would last 3 or 4. Even still with both methods I was always teetering on the spoilage line of my fridge thermostat. All that being said, this thing was built great and would be extremely durable if you're looking for a high end cooler that can get knocked around and never break.
