This review is based off of only one use. First off, the cooler is very nice looking! It is constructed well. We loaded some beach chairs onto the top with Bungee Cords. on regular flat terrain, the cooler is effortless to pull/tow. The only negatives I have are that the ice melted incredibly fast imo. This may have been due to the fact that I did not load the bottom of the cooler with drinks and/or food, only half. This caused the ice to shift. The cooler did move through thick beach sand but a bit of effort was required.

I love this cooler's features. It doesn't keep ice long if it's not full is one of my complaints. We don't fill it up with ice, usually just enough to cover what's there, and it's usually melted by the end of the day on the boat. Large enough to hold all of our beverages and food. I love the serving tray under the lid. Cup holders on top do not hold popular mugs, or cans with koozies unless it's the tall skinny cans - that's also a disappointment. Overall it's a 4 star.

So far everything has been going great, and has met expectations. The only reason it’s not 5 stars is the switches to hold the tray are a bit loose so it quite often falls into the ice. Also the black plastic ”legs” are a bit loose/wobbly. You’re unable to tighten either of these things. Not huge issues, but the only thing keeping this from 5 stars.

Pros: All the bells and whistles for active, outdoor family or friends or large groups! The type of cooler you need for a weekend or longer trip. If I were a young family living near a beach or lake, this would be ideal! Cons: Only one, the size! It’s much bigger than I thought and heavy! I don’t think it will even fit in the trunk of my Honda Accord and I will need a second person to lift it when full of ice, food and drinks. Because of the size, storage could be a problem.

Umbrella holders seem pretty flimsy…and haven’t had a chance to actually use the thing yet. I’m expecting I’ll lose the umbrella attachments in time… seems like lid could’ve been a little larger with holes that would allow for holders? Just a thought

Opened my package a week after receiving as i was going on a camping trip. First impressions were Amazing! Looks awesome and very rugged. I like the design and overall feel. With that said, a few minor hiccups.. Top corner was dented slighlty and i don't know if that will enlarge over time or even puncture. Also, one of the side had scratch damage from the box as it was not protected or sealed with any foam padding.. Really bummed about the 2 flaws, but mostly worried about the dented corner.. Will contact CS for review..

You can storm the beaches with this big boy. It's a bit bigger than I expected, but it works perfect for a day at the beach or tailgating. The drain screw cap is convenient and the wheels did fine in the sand. I wish the detachable table snapped onto the handle, but overall it performs great!

I got my husband this cooler for his birthday and we absolutely love it!!! This thing goes through any terrain, the bottle openers are a life saver , the fishing pool holders are amazing and I didn't realize how much I needed those until I actually had them and I love the tablet holder that's on the lid. This cooler has everything you need!!

I am considering a return for this, unfortunately. For all the extra features Igloo gave this cooler, why wouldn't they add a latch to keep the lid closed? It isn't secure or airtight, and would probably benefit from a gasket too. Was willing to accept the fact that it isn't roto-molded but surprised that these other simple standards aren't here. It's the best looking cooler with wheels on the market, hoping it performs as promised.

While longevity remains to be seen (some of it appears to be cheaply made), this cooler has more features presented in more useful and clever ways than any other cooler I’ve seen. LOVE the umbrella / fishing pole tubes. LOVE the wheels, the handle, the dry storage, and the cup holders. Ice only lasts 24-48 hours in the shade, but I rarely need ice longer than a day anyway so I don’t care about that. After using the Journey, I will sell my Yeti, which is way too heavy to be practical.
