Rotomolded Snowball Coolers with Insulated Ice Chest for Camping and Outdoor Adventures

James Baum: Works well. No issues with cooler so far. Bought this one to replace another brand that was stolen out of my truck.

Bill: Needed to find an insulated cooler at the last minute for a trip to Yellowstone as my old Coleman was no longer up to the task. Looked seriously at Yeti and DeWalt. I was also looking for a cooler that I could use after that trip that would fit in my RZR. After reading reviews of some insulated coolers potentially vacuum sealing the lid, I needed to find one that had a drain which could be used to vent the cooler in those cases. This was a challenger for smaller coolers. This cooler seemed to fit all of my requirements and getting a Yeti that I liked in such a short time frame wasn't possible.

I found this and seemed to meet all of my requirements and was also cheaper than a Yeti which was a pleasant surprise. Being an off brand (or at least not one I've heard of), I was somewhat skeptical. However, it performed almost perfectly. The first round of ice melted fairly rapidly and I was beginning to suspect my fears were going to be well founded. Well, after that, never had a problem with ice prematurely melting again. The ice in the cooler lasted between 2 - 3 days. It vacuum locked on me once. That's where having the drain really paid off. Only time will tell just how...

Scorch: This is a very nice cooler and keeps ice very well even in 95 degree Florida heat! NO cooler can withstand high temperatures and maintain ice for 4 days in these temperatures but this one does a very good job and you will still have cold water after 4 days. ( This is if you are actually opening and closing the cooler as in a camping situation) IF you sealed the cooler full of ice and left it in the shade, and did not open it then it very well could/may maintain ice for 4 days in these extreme heat conditions. It is very well constructed and should last well over 10 to 20 years with proper care- I.E. dont leave it in the direct sun and dont expose it to chemicals. It has a drain, bottle opener and is solid! It is heavy when loaded, as are all insulated coolers. It is a terrific alternative to the high priced name brands and the quality is excellent!

m.s.: I use this to keep extra items cold such as drinks since I live in a RV with a small, electric only refrigerator. I find it holds ice in a semi frozen state for two days, by day three I need to dump it although there is still some ice remaining. I would say I get into it about 3-4 times a day which of course lets out cold air. It is well built. Im hoping the silicone like straps that keep the lid closed maintain their stretchability to keep the door shut and dont wear over time but it is too soon to tell as I have only owned this a couple of months. I feel like this is a good value for my money and didn't spend too much for the 'big brand' names. I would recommend this cooler.

Pam C.: I don't think I've EVER purchased a product that hasn't been reviewed before this.

However, considering I was able to buy this in Like New condition from Amazon and saved a lot of money, I took the gamble and it paid off!!

I actually worked in a roto-mold factory just outside of Denver. We made coolers very much like these. They're not cheap to make when done right.

I inspected my cooler when it arrived. Besides the tiny scratch on the top (which is why it was being sold in Like New condition) it was made very well and def stacks up against any competitor's products regarding quality of craftsmanship.

I really appreciate the built-in drain on the side. I read about other similar products not having this and reviewers complaining, wishing theirs had one.

The rubber latches are comfortable and latch securely. Each one has a convenient built-in bottle opener! Don't put your fingers inside the latches when securing them tho... It won't harm you but it's not very comfortable either!

TESTING and PERFORMANCE:

I pre-chilled the cooler by filling it with cool tap water and about 3lbs of ice from my freezer.

The next morning I...
