[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used the lifetime coolers pretty extensively. I took the previous model of cooler on a week long camping trip in the middle of July. In that trip we brought all of our food for the week in two coolers. In that time I bought ice for my cooler twice. I thought that was pretty incredible. I drove all around Yellowstone National Park with my coolers on the roof of my car. Where they were beaten up by heat, bugs, dust and dirt. Everyone else in my part had to buy ice ever day. I simply drained mine twice and added ice. It was fantastic. I bring that up to say that this cooler has performed every bit as good as its predecessor. I have had this cooler in the bed of my truck for almost 3 weeks. It has been everything from a cooler to a step stool and a table. I am doing this review in November. So it is generally cooler outside already. I actually did not need to add ice. Because the coldness of the cooler from sitting in garage overnight kept all of my food cool the entire rest of the next day. A few of the features I liked are the two bottle openers/locks for the cooler. Because I have left it in the bed of my truck it has been easy to make it secure. I also like that when you close the cooler is really seals tight. You have to pop the lid up pretty good to break the seal when you open it. Which is a huge win. I know that this cooler is keeping all the pressure inside. Way better that other coolers I have used that immediately pop open when you release the clips. I have kids that play all the time with things. Mine like to open the clips of the cooler and pull it down again. Keeping the lid sealed tight with out the clips being locked was a really nice feature to me. These are durable, keep things cool for a long time, and are quality products. The other piece I love about this cooler and the other provided by Lifetime is the affordability. You will never find the quality and features of this cooler for this price anywhere else.

I bought this as a gift for my dad for Father’s Day and he has absolutely loved it for his long camping trips. I have a fairly larger cooler as I have a large family and recently had a trip with just my husband and I and my dad suggested that we borrow his cooler WOW. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO IMPRESSED WITH A COOLERS ABILITY TO KEEP ICE AND KEEP COLD

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 65qt cooler is amazing. It is the first cooler that we have found where we can put 1gallon milk jugs side-by-side, leaving the rest of the cooler with plenty of space to put our other food items. The seal on the cooler is incredible and stops almost all of the water from exiting the cooler when it is tipped on its side. The latch system is really easy to use. We've had other coolers in the past with hinges made of plastic that fail over time and we know we won't have that issue with this cooler because the hinge is a metal rod that goes through the lid and the cooler so we don't see how this could fail as our other coolers' hinges have in the past. It also has a wide drain plug for quick draining of water when you're ready to empty out excess water. Lastly, the ice-retention is pretty amazing on this cooler. Ice lasts for days where-as with other coolers we've owned the ice usually lasts 1.5 - 2 days if we're lucky. This is hands down the best cooler that we have ever owned.

Had the cooler over half full of ice, 6 cans and 6 waters. Only kept ice for 3 days. Nowhere near the advertised 6. I bought this cooler because of that statement. Very disappointed. I will say that the cooler is built very well. Its very strong, and the handles and latches are tough. Its just the performance is not as advertised. Maybe if you kept the cooler inside in air conditioning without opening it would it keep for 6 days. But if you have it in a vehicle traveling, you know, doing what coolers are made for; its not going to keep ice very long.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I put this cooler to test on the fourth of July weekend. It was my main cooler for a weekend camping trip in the hot and humid Texas heat. It held mostly meat and a few drinks. It lasted me all day Friday Saturday and Sunday no problem. The ice in the cooler could've easily lasted another 3 days. The build quality is also great on the cooler. I used the cooler as a platform to help set camp, fished from the top of it, and of course used it as a chair and didn't notice any flex on the lid. The kids creates a tight seal and I didn't notice any water leaks. Overall a great cooler and will be using it for years to come.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cooler is built like a rock doubles as a solid stepping stool (even for a 250 lbs. guy). The cooler fits a 20 lbs. bag of ice and 48 bottles of water with room to spare. I like to store my cooler in the backseat of my truck for easy access during long road trips, while unloading other coolers I would often get drenched in water while tipping coolers to get them out of the back. This is no longer the case with the seal on this cooler! After smoking our thanksgiving turkey, I wrapped it in tin foil and some towels and put it in the cooler. It held the heat so well that after 2 hours I still needed hot pads to touch the turkey.

Have not used this cooler yet but it looks solid and priced well.

Received as gift and only used it once and went to use it again and the lock handle broke into.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great cooler. Been using it on the side by side and around the house. Great ice retention and perfect size to haul around drinks for everyone.

I have had the 77Qt cooler for a while and recently got the New 65Qt High Performance Cooler. I use these coolers for my Youtube Chanel and my BBQ business. I recently traveled from San Antonio Texas to Baja California. Before leaving SA I put 2 frozen Briskets and 6 racks of ribs along with two bags of ice in the 77Qt cooler. After 2 days of travel and reaching my destination I opened the cooler and everything was frozen solid! It took 4 days to get the meat out! After cooking my Briskets and pork shoulders To 200 degrees internal I wrap them in towels and put them in the 65Qt and they stay in there for up to 8 hours. After removing them the meats are at a safe temperature of 150 degrees. These coolers are excellent and ice retention and even keeping food warm! Compared to the competitors the prices cannot be beat!
