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.

The lid does not completely close, which is a major issue. Also, it arrived with scratches because the cooler was shipped without protection. It looked used right out of the box. I like the handle, wheels, tray and overall look, but if its not going to keep things cold then its just an expensive plastic table on wheels.

This cooler is a BEAST! Super big, has literally anything you would think of for a large crowd headed to the beach, party, etc. I bought this for my parents beach house because of the wheels and extendable handle. They were excited about the dry compartment and the butler tray as well! Can’t wait to get it on the sand for this season, look durable and fun!

as soon as I received it I started check out the features of the cooler. starting with the handle just so it can come out all the way and now it does not stay in. this issue caused the cooler to fall down some concrete steps when I stopped the handle came out. also did not hold ice but the melted ice water did stay pretty cold. the ice issue may be my fault.

This Cooler is huge and did not expect it to be so big. So many cool feature and the ability to keep ice and drinks cold for over 3 days is awesome. It is very rugged and has many cool features other coolers do not have. Being able to roll the cooler is a bonus.

After one trip using the cooler the foam on the handle has already torn off. Had to wrap it with tape. The inside shelf that is built into the top won't stay in place. It looks like the screws on the tabs aren't staying tight. I have tried tightening them but they wont stay in place to hold the shelf. Overall a pretty good cooler.

So we just received this cooler. It looks great! I will resubmit a review after our first use. We are hoping for the 5 days long use of ice and to keep our beverages cold. We will see! Initial thoughts, I love the construction, the color and the toughness!!

Very cool looking cooler but wasn’t the quality I was expecting for the money. The gloss black exterior plastic was very scratched up when I took it out of the box and the tabs that hold the table up inside the cooler lid are stripped and don’t hold the table in very well. If I didn’t NEED the cooler this weekend, I would have probably returned it.

A cooler that has everything. I love all the features of this cooler especially the wheels and table. I have not pulled it in sand yet and am interested to see if that will work as advertised but everything else is awesome. In the future I hope they come without so much texture on the exterior so you can put stickers on them

Used for one week at the beach. Tray inside of lid just falls when you close it. Never worked since the lever that holds it is too loose. Cover of handle has come almost completely off. Rubber seal for the dry compartment is out of place already. Worst part is, upon receiving the chest, ai realize two small knobs that hold the tray in the inside of the top lid do not hold. The bottom one just flops to the side and the tray falls when you close the lid. Tried to tighten the screw, but didn't help. Disappointed on these flaws after such an expensive lurchase. Most expensive chest I've ever bought and not very happy due to those flaws. Positive note - moves pretty good through the sand and the tie down spots on the sides and back of the chest are great.
