Coleman Chiller 48qt Insulated Portable Cooler with Ice Retention & Heavy-Duty Handles, Made in USA

Good quality. Nice color. Sized for smaller jobs. Seals as expected. Medium amount of storage. Ice retention as expected.

My son has a 3 year old Coleman 48-quart cooler/ice chest that he uses for everything from beach trips to trips up the coast, as well as for use at job sites and I have yet to see anything he puts in there not have ice left at the end of a day."But wait! There's more!!" :DLast Friday not only did our a.c. freeze up and stop working, our refrigerator also broke down. In Florida. Average temps here were upper 80's during the day and around 70°F at night. In a household of 4 adults (including disabled grandmother...me) and 4 children, you just can't do without a fridge; unfortunately, the landlord couldn't get a repairman out until after the weekend...so we transferred all of the fridge stuff over to the freezer side, which crowded out a bit of the frozen food.No problem - my son commandeered his Coleman for several packages of frozen chicken, some ground beef (extra protected in waterproof giant zip locked bags) and a few bags of frozen vegetables, in addition to 4 - 6 , 33oz. water bottles.We lined the bottom of the cooler with all of the ice pack bags/plastic blocks we had, added a bag of ice, shoved in the frozen water bottles and then just fit in the overflow dairy, juice and leftovers that didn't fit into the freezer. We then added a bag of ice over the top. Now mind, I drink loads of water daily, so I was in and out of the ice chest all day, adding room temperature replacement water bottles each time.After the first two days the ice had reduced by a third and water had started collecting. I kept thinking it was time to add ice, but when I put my hand inside to clear the plug to drain it, the water was so cold that I couldn't keep my hand in there long enough to do so, so I left it! By late morning the next day - day 3 - the ice had completely depleted and the cooler needed to be drained...but I STILL had to use a spatula to keep the drain clear. Because of how icy cold the melted ice had stayed, I left about 4" of water in the bottom and added another bag of ice. By the time the repairman came on Monday, although the chicken had begun to thaw, it still felt "crunchy" with ice, but a third of the ice had still not melted.I credit part of the cold retaining ability to the fact that we used already frozen items in addition to ice and, as a previous reviewer mentioned, I drained the melted ice only enough to make it less heavy to move the cooler out of its niche.Hurricane season is on its way and I am preparing to move out of my son's house. But I decided that I had to get one of these Coleman ice chests as part of my emergency stand by things, just like candles, batteries and camp stoves/Sterno, I will now be prepared for just about anything. It arrived today, just ahead if a sudden storm that killed our power (came back on 20 mins later, so I didn't have a chance to use it, darn it!)I do like that this cooler has a standard, tightly capped drain plug that is situated so close to the bottom... hardly any tipping needed to empty it. I also like that the lid seals so tightly because the tighter the lid fits, the less cold escapes/less warm air seeps. Even my son's Coleman still seals snugly. I think the only thing I would like is some kind of retractable wheel thingy to help us physically challenged folks maneuver it a little easier!All in all, definitely recommend this Coleman ice chest. More than worth the cost.

The media could not be loaded. Decent cooler for the price. Standard clam shell cooler. I built mine as a fish live well (see video). Keeps water cool and basically the same cooler as you already know...please not however, that there is no drain hole and drain plug so you have to dump instead. Great basic cooler for the price.

This is a great cooler and has the Coleman workmanship. It’s well-made and will do the job perfectly. Keep in mind when you buy this one that it does not have a drain to let the melted ice out of the bottom. You’ll have to tip it over to drain the water out. I didn’t want one with the drain so it worked perfect for me

The quality is great had this for most still going strong. Seal well and the storage is very good.

This is a straightforward day cooler. It is not something you take for a week of camping in 80 degree weather. It keeps ice for about 3 days in 75 degree weather as long as you place it in the shade. This is lightweight and works exactly as I expected it would for single day parties. I just wanted something to keep drinks cold for the day. I have a Rotomolded cooler for those week long trips where keeping things cold with minimal ice is important. The only issue I had with this is that there is no drain plug on it so you have to tip it in order to drain the water from it. Set your expectations at the right level and this will be a great cooler, just understand it is not going to compete with a $250 cooler.

Bigger than expected, and tough strong. Very happy with this choice.

Nice little ice chest but dented when I opened. The packing box was not torn and was intact.
