Seems to be built tough. Heavy. However, mine didn't hold solid ice for a full day. Filled it with ice in the morning. It was in the back of my vehicle all day. Twelve hours later it was slush. It was never left open for an extended period of time. Opened, got drink and closed immediately after. Strange though. A family member's 55 quart held ice for 2 days. Apparently I got the lemon...

I bought this as a gift for my dad for Father’s Day and he has absolutely loved it for his long camping trips. I have a fairly larger cooler as I have a large family and recently had a trip with just my husband and I and my dad suggested that we borrow his cooler WOW. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO IMPRESSED WITH A COOLERS ABILITY TO KEEP ICE AND KEEP COLD

Have not used this cooler yet but it looks solid and priced well.

Ice does NOT last 8 days in cooler

Received as gift and only used it once and went to use it again and the lock handle broke into.

Does not keep ice That well. Not worth the money

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cooler is amazing! Our family used it over the holidays to keep our beer cold our pies cold and even our leftovers. We filled the cooler with ice on Monday and it still has ice in it(Friday). The bottle openers work well with stubby bottles, long neck bottles, twist off and pop off bottles as well. It even works as a step stole and a chair. This is my first lifetime cooler and it won’t be the last. I’m excited to take this bad boy on our biking/camping trips next year! #beatcooleroutthere

I have had the 77Qt cooler for a while and recently got the New 65Qt High Performance Cooler. I use these coolers for my Youtube Chanel and my BBQ business. I recently traveled from San Antonio Texas to Baja California. Before leaving SA I put 2 frozen Briskets and 6 racks of ribs along with two bags of ice in the 77Qt cooler. After 2 days of travel and reaching my destination I opened the cooler and everything was frozen solid! It took 4 days to get the meat out! After cooking my Briskets and pork shoulders To 200 degrees internal I wrap them in towels and put them in the 65Qt and they stay in there for up to 8 hours. After removing them the meats are at a safe temperature of 150 degrees. These coolers are excellent and ice retention and even keeping food warm! Compared to the competitors the prices cannot be beat!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used the lifetime coolers pretty extensively. I took the previous model of cooler on a week long camping trip in the middle of July. In that trip we brought all of our food for the week in two coolers. In that time I bought ice for my cooler twice. I thought that was pretty incredible. I drove all around Yellowstone National Park with my coolers on the roof of my car. Where they were beaten up by heat, bugs, dust and dirt. Everyone else in my part had to buy ice ever day. I simply drained mine twice and added ice. It was fantastic. I bring that up to say that this cooler has performed every bit as good as its predecessor. I have had this cooler in the bed of my truck for almost 3 weeks. It has been everything from a cooler to a step stool and a table. I am doing this review in November. So it is generally cooler outside already. I actually did not need to add ice. Because the coldness of the cooler from sitting in garage overnight kept all of my food cool the entire rest of the next day. A few of the features I liked are the two bottle openers/locks for the cooler. Because I have left it in the bed of my truck it has been easy to make it secure. I also like that when you close the cooler is really seals tight. You have to pop the lid up pretty good to break the seal when you open it. Which is a huge win. I know that this cooler is keeping all the pressure inside. Way better that other coolers I have used that immediately pop open when you release the clips. I have kids that play all the time with things. Mine like to open the clips of the cooler and pull it down again. Keeping the lid sealed tight with out the clips being locked was a really nice feature to me. These are durable, keep things cool for a long time, and are quality products. The other piece I love about this cooler and the other provided by Lifetime is the affordability. You will never find the quality and features of this cooler for this price anywhere else.

I was sent the 65q to try out and I loved it. We took it to a livestock show in Florida and used it exclusively for drinks and it worked wonders all weekend. It held up to being open and shut a million times by the kids and still the ice retention was amazing. Also the lid came in handy as well to act as a seat for some friends who didn’t bring chairs.
