[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this water cooler free with the contingency to leave an open and honest review. I used the cooler many times and have been blown away at how long it can hold ice. We had it in the bed of a truck for 2 days while we fenced our pasture in the heat of the sun, and the water stayed cold the entire time! My favorite part about it was the taste. Every other water cooler than I own has had a faint plastic taste when new, but not this one. I also like how they designed the spout. It is easy to remove and clean when needed, but does not leak. Lastly this is the only water cooler that I have that is well vented, yet doesn't leak out of the top when tipped over. This makes the water come out controlled and predictable, Plus it doesn't 'sweat' on the exterior. Well built, great size, easy to maneuver and doubles great as a place to sit when needed. Would recommend to anyone!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have not had this cooler very long so maybe I will have to update this review after some time, but so far we love it. The first thing that drew me to this particular cooler is the shape. We primitive camp a lot and have to take out own drinking water. When we pack everything on the bed of the truck, our old water cool was the only round item and it was tall and awkward. We also had to strap the lid on so it didn't blow off. This new Lifetime water cooler is square and so much shorter and the lid is securely attached. We sometimes need two water coolers and I am certain we can stack two of these in the same space where our previous round cooler sat. The size still kinda blows my mind because it seems so much smaller than other 5 gallon water coolers. I had to double check after I brought it home so make sure I didn't accidentally grab a smaller size or something. I love that the spigot can be replaced if broken or capped to use as a small cooler. I also love that the lid has a seal so there will be no more water sloshing out of our water cooler while we travel or carry it to the truck or table.We haven't yet used it on a hot summer day, but if it's anything like their coolers, I'm sure it will keep ice for a decent amount of time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We just used this for a big family BBQ!!! We put pink lemonade in it with a bag of ice. I was impressed how long it kept the ice from melting. 3 days!!!! The handles are great, making it easy to carry even when it's full. It holds A LOT of liquid. Cons.... It is kind of hard to clean in a standard sink. Just like most amazing coolers it does air lock so we just had to open the lid a few times while we were using it to keep it flowing. But it's totally worth it! We can't wait to use it for tball games, camping, and more backyard parties!!

We have been taking this to practices and games for our three baseball players and it is so convenient! The rope handles are sturdy for carrying, I'm impressed with the overall quality in general. The ice retention is great for those hot game days, happy the kids will stay hydrated! My favorite part is the spout, easy for the players to help themselves to but can also be removed and replaced with a cap (purchased separately) to make it a stand alone cooler as well. Looking forward to taking this camping too!

As a family of 4 overlanders this amazing water cooler literally change our life. This is a very versatile product perfect for our camping trips and daily adventures. Our favorite feature is removable non-leak spout with superior air vent with the spill-proof lid. I love the the ice retention, this is very important to us because this cooler keeps the water cold for long time keeping us fresh while we're enjoying the outdoors. We highly recommend this product!!!

I bought 2 of these, and after just one use, on one of them the tapper stays stuck open and the other is leaking

Ice lasts really long in this cooler, great for solo road trips. Good for homemade root beer, but the dispenser gets sticky. Nothin some warm soapy water cant fix! No plastic taste, unless you eat the plastic of course lol

I have been using this cooler for almost 2 weeks now and I absolutely love how versatile it is! It's perfect for quick beach trips and even fun kayak trips!! If you're looking for a smaller cooler this is definitely the one!

I purchased this several months ago, works great until the spout broke. Backordered parts are weeks out and that is not good during summer, go buy another product that you can get parts easier for.
