We liked the 65 quart Lifetime cooler we got so much we decided to give one as a wedding gift for a family member...but we got them this 28 Quart one since they're just starting out and don't have a ton of space. This wasn't something on their registry, but they were so stoked about it. It's the kind of thing you're not necessarily thinking about, but which you'll use for decades. They live in a rural hot climate and keep it in their car for bringing home frozen and cold items from the grocery store and said that's been a revelation for them. I had never thought of doing that myself, so I now keep a Lifetime cooler in my trunk for groceries all the time.

Very pleasantly surprised with this cooler. It is durable, rugged, locks easily, and keeps things nice and cool. What more could you want? I’m not an outdoorsy camper person so I cannot speak to the bear resistant claims it has. I love that this cooler is so sturdy that it doubles as an extra seat at a gathering. You can double stack cans inside of it if they are already cold and they were still the same temp by the time it was ready to leave the party. It fits perfectly in the back seat of my car. I am taking off one star because it is heavy without anything in it and I wouldn’t dare try and carry it if it was full or cans or food—I’ll leave that to my stronger friends. This is my first cooler of its kind so I’m not sure if I’m just used to cheap Igloo coolers or what, but I was shocked at how heavy it was. I’m confident it will hold up for years and I won’t have to replace it anytime soon, but carrying it sucks because there is only one handlebar and no hand grips on the side that I see.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We enjoyed this cooler on a warm day at our local state park. This cooler is well built. The reinforced thick insulated walls are essential in keeping the ice retention. Kept ice at least 72 hours while testing in my home. The durability of this cooler is great as it can be taken anywhere on any kind of adventure. Handles are well made and as they are locked down you can hear the air getting pushed out. It seals nicely and is air tight. The carrying handle is very sturdy and fits well in the hand. The bottle opener is a nice added feature. The cooler is a bit heavy and bulky even while empty. While bigger coolers have a side drain this cooler is not big enough to need one. Another added feature would be to have a ruler on the top lid. Could be handy in measuring such as fish. All in all I would recommend and purchase this lifetime cooler. Added plus it is Made in the USA. Totally satisfied!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this cooler in exchange for my honest review. I love how easily this cooler opens. I like the feet on the bottom. My only complaint is that there is not a spout to empty the cooler. It kept ice well and was perfect for our Super Bowl party. It held two bags of ice.

I own multiple Lifetime coolers and this is probably my favorite size as I am always able to take this out with me. It fits easily in my car, it isn't too heavy when full and fits plenty of stuff. Perfect cooler!

I bought this cooler for work and it looks good but doesn’t hold ice a full day. Yes the water stays cold but for a lot less money I could have gotten a cooler that keeps the ice better.

Nice Cooler for Road Trips

Great
