Lightweight and convenient to carry. Have used it with both frozen bottles of ice and ice cubes. Of course keeps items colder with the frozen bottles of ice or blocks but worked well with pop and beer with the cubes. I only have two negatives. First one is it does not have a drain hole. Second is that the lid comes off easily if you open it too far. I still like it!!!

The cooler is smaller than I was thinking, but that's on me. I have come to like the smaller size as it is easier to carry and clean. I have filled it completely full with drinks then covered it with a small bag of ice. The ice doesn't last long with this method, less than a day in the summer Texas sun. Trying fewer drinks and more ice along with trying to keep it in the shade seemed to work better. I think my thought process is still on how I use big coolers, so again, that's on me. I do wish it had a drain hole. Other than that, it works as expected. Other than that, it works as expected.

i bought this for a fishing cooler and its perfect. its small enough to fit comfortably in a small fishing boat but large enough to easily hold 25 crappie and a couple bass with ice. i mostly crappie fish. I put a couple ice packs in it the night before and then the morning of i take the ice packs out and put a bag of ice in the cooler i can fish from daylight to dark and fill it with crappie all day and still have plenty of ice at the end of the day. this cooler does everything i need it to do. for the price this cooler cost your getting a great deal if you use it properly and take care of it will last a lifetime.

I was looking for a smallish, compact cooler for a recent road trip. Everything I came across was very, very expensive. At its price point, this cooler seemed almost too good to be true. I decided to order it knowing I could always return it. Turns out I made an excellent decision. It is the perfect size for what I needed to keep cold. I used reusable cooler packs and after a 9 hour drive, the packs were still totally frozen. I’m very pleased with this cooler and glad I decided to purchase it over others at 2-4 times the cost. It’s a great value for the money.

Got this to fit in my fishing cart for pier fishing. Loved its shape. But…. First time I used it there was a 10 mph wind. I opened the lid, the wind caught it and it popped right off. Blew over the pier and into the bay. Try as I might I was unable to snag it with my fishing gear. It is unreasonable to advertise this as fit for marine use with such a weak attachment of the lid.

I love the size and shape of this cooler. It's skinny but tall and wide, so it works for my intended purpose, putting it in the rear floorboard of the car for drinks and snacks on road trips. The price is great for a cooler that looks better than just an ugly red or blue one. The only issue is that for a marine cooler, you're getting ripped off a bit, the top is hollow. The top is important because the sides are insulated, but if the top isn't, then what's the point? So, inside there is a screw in cap that you can pull out. I opened that, and then drilled a small hole at the other end of the top on the outside. Then I took expanding foam, and filled both holes and let it expand inside to meet each other. You let it harden up overnight and the excess that comes out of the holes and hardens up, you can use a razor blade and just slice it off. Then I used a white paint pen and colored that part to blend in. For the hole with the screw part inside, I just put it in and taped it down, and cut off any excess that seeped out. I wrapped the top in plastic bags when it was drying, because that foam doesn't come off if it gets on the other plastic or your fingers. But otherwise it's an easy mod and will keep the items so much cooler. I also had some aluminum insulation / soundproof padding that has adhesive on the back that I attached to the top for added insulation. Now it's the ultimate travel backseat floorboard fridge without needing power!

Supposedly, this is a marine style, which means it’s supposed to keep things cold or longer and sustain direct sunlight. I find it does neither. Also, I really hate the top that falls off and is not hinged. It’s difficult to get back on once it falls off.

The size is perfect and it is very easy to carry. would purchase again.

Worth the extra money

Not only does this cooler keep things cold for long drive (20 hrs) but also is just the right size for drinks/food and can tuck right in along the back lift gate for easy access while on the road. Love it!!!
