When we first got it, I thought I would hate it. It's durable but not too heavy and just the size I wanted… but in the car, you can’t lift it out until you flip the long handle up, and you need extra space around the cooler to do that. But by the time we finished camping, I was a total fan. I even came to like the look of the white color. It fit in the low bear box just fine.
It kept our food ice cold for 7 days. I used to love our 7-day Coleman (I could always count on it to last ice cold for 3 days, which I always thought was amazing), but it got ruined last summer. I really took a chance on this one, and it’s absolutely the one for me now.
Also, the wheels… I’m never going back to not having wheels.
For the full 7 days, it was packed solid. Half of the cooler started out frozen (a mix of frozen water bottles and frozen meat and duplicate items not needed yet, including I froze the butter), and the other half was fridge-cooled. I placed a ¾-inch piece of foam on top of the frozen items, which stayed undisturbed for the first 4 days. After we’d eaten enough, I added a second ¾-inch foam piece inside, pressed down on top of the remaining items.
We also limited opening and closing to about 10–15 times a day (sounds like a lot, but it’s really not!). Amazing seal.
Anyway—I love it.
