[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cooler has been an awesome way of keeping cool in the summer! We've tested out the ice retention and it was able to hold ice for 5 days with only a bit of melting. We love the handles as our favorite feature to keep your knuckles from hitting the sides. All around a great product!

I'm a sucker for a cooler that keeps my drinks ice cold, so when Lifetime asked if I wanted to test it out, I jumped. Not only does it keep beverages cold, but it can also be turned into a water jug with the detachable spigot. I've used it both ways and absolutely love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all, I am a huge fan of Lifetime products. Their customer service and quality have always been stellar. This cooler is no exception! We used this cooler for a family party and mixed some juice in it for the kids. I wasn't worried about the juice leaking even with the kids getting it themselves. I wasn't worried about the juice going moldy in the spout since the spout is removable to be able to wash. I liked the way the cooler clips together to keep your drinks cold. I was worried about the flow of water since the cooler seals so tight to keep the drinks cold, but we haven't had that problem. My husband has now been using it to take to work to refill reusable water bottles instead of buying plastic water bottles. The water stays cold for days, even with very little ice. I love the size, its shorter and square, so it feels more stable to ride in my car with the water or juice in it. The locking lid helps with that security too! I would recommend this cooler we have found we have already saved money (and cooler space) not needing to buy waterbottles. This is our go to cooler!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to be able to receive this cooler in exchange for my feedback. The first thing I did when I got the cooler was fill it with 2 pounds of ice, the ice lasted over 2 days. I left the water in the cooler to see if it would leak out the spout, and to my surprise it didn't. One of the things I hate most is when the spout leaks and it makes my car all wet. After this test, I was ready to use it. Another thing I was concerned about was how heavy it was and if it would be easy to carry. I loaded the water cooler up with ice and drinks and set out for a family get together. The cooler was easy to carry with the lengthy rope handles and plastic grips. The drinks stayed cold all day and well into the next day, as well as the ice remained ice. There are a few things I love about this water cooler, one is the shape, it fits nicely in the back of my SUV and will also fit in the trunk of my daughters car. The next is it can be used as more than just a water cooler, the spout is removable and can be replaced with a regular cooler plug and used as a regular cooler for those day trips. Speaking of the spout, it doesn't leak and is can be completely disassembled for cleaning so no more gross water spouts when you put anything but water in it. Its very easy to clean and the rope handles make save your back when carrying it. All in all this is a great water cooler with lots of functionality and a great way to keep your water, Gatorade, or punch cold. I cant wait to use it all summer whether I'm doing yard work, sitting at softball games, a family BBQ or going for a hike, I know I'll be covered with something cold to drink with this 5 gallon water cooler from Lifetime.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this cooler! The shape is great, fits well in cars or end of tables. We were able to fit a bag of crushed ice in it and the ice last about 4 days in the shade it was average 70 degree weather. We definitely will be using this all summer for our camping trips and outside house projects to keep cool!

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

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.

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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kept my water chilled all weekend plus some!
