Igloo 75 qts

Love ❤️ it! Was better than we expected. It worked very well. We put a big bag of ice in the cooler the night before our trip. Next morning, we put frozen food in it with ice packs, several frozen bottles water and more ice. Most of our frozen food remained frozen for at least 3 days in a 95° F. Bags of ice and frozen bottled water stayed frozen a few days longer. Was very happy with this cooler.

Great plugin cooler

My family and I love road trips. This cooler is one of the best purchases I’ve made. We no longer have to buy ice to keep our drinks cold on the road. It also came in handy this Thanksgiving because we ran out of space in our fridge for all the leftovers, so we plugged the cooler in and stored some of the leftovers! I gave it 4 stars because I’ve only had this a few months, and for the price (even on sale), I hope it will last a few years.

Paid clearance, but would buy again at full price!

Couldn't believe I found the ICF40 at Sam's for less than the price of the smallest ICF anywhere else (on clearance maybe?). I bought it to take with me while traveling to south Florida for hurricane relief work, and it worked like a champ for the week and a half I was on the road. I used an external battery pack (Ryobi 300w power bank) to keep it going during the day so I wouldn't have to leave my truck running, and it drew very little power, so the power bank had no problem keeping it powered and the Igloo maintained refrigerator-cold temps all day, even when my truck was parked in the sun. This was way better than filling with ice every day.

Best Cooler to take on a road trip.

Easy to transport, runs on AC or DC. The best thing is no ice is required. I used the cooler on the floor of my back seat in my F150 for a road trip of 1900 plus miles one way. Sub sandwiches kept for 24 hours without difficulty. I kept an open can of dog food that was covered with an appropriate lid cold until my Pomeranians could finish the can(2 days). Cold drinks were definitey readily available.

It is cool

Ok, a compressor based cooling system in a cooler that can run on AC or DC. That's awesome. And it does work well. Caught it on sale. While I like it, full price is just too much for a cooler / portable refrigerator

Quick cooling

Does a great job cooling and keeping its temp down when unplugged. I wish it had an internal battery, but chills drinks very quickly when plugged it. Also like that it comes with a protective cover. The one I bought from Amazon didn’t have it and Walmart had it for cheaper.

Great Electric Cooler for travel.

Convenient cooler that gets drink/food cold without needing to purchase ice packs any more.

It really needs wheels.

The cooler itself is great, the problem lies with portability. The cooler without anything in it already has some weight due to the compressor. Once you put anything in it, it becomes near impossible to transport by one person. This cooler is absolutely missing wheels! With just myself to transport it, it was certainly not convenient to have to empty most of it to move. As much as the cooler costs, I don't want to have to buy something separate to help me transport it. If you don't need to move it once it's been plugged in, you'll be fine! But if you do, a dolly might be helpful. I didn't feel it was too much of a drain on my portable power station or car when it was plugged in and it maintained a good temp. I kept it mostly at 34, keeping items I didn't mind if they got a bit frosty around the edges and I felt it performed well.

Cheap Pull-Handle

The pull handle popped off the first time I used it. The screws that secure the handle go into a thin sheet of plastic and Styrofoam. No backing and no support behind the screws. Terrible design. This rolling cooler is worthless without a pull handle. Waste of money.
