  • Amazing cooler with one minor downside, but you still should buy it.
Color: Silt 17L
This is a wonderful cooler. It's honestly the best cooler I've ever had. The size is perfect for many applications; we use it mostly on our boat or for traveling. We got this specific mid-sized one because it fits both in the compartment in our boat where we want it, and it fits nicely between the two rear seats in our SUV. It clearly is very thermally efficient as it keeps items very cold; I'm actually familiar with Dometic as a company from working with them on occasion at my job, and they make very good products in multiple industries from my experience. The dual-opening lid with a big handle that you can open with one hand is a massive game changer for me on the boat, since I can just reach into that compartment and quickly grab a drink or snack from it instead of getting down on the floor, unzipping, etc. It's truly the best cooler I've ever had. The one complaint I would make about it, which I noticed others mentioned, is that the handles have stiffer plastic/rubber on them that fits together to make one handle, and maybe even has a small amount of magnets in it, but it does not work very well so putting the two handles together is basically useless as it just comes apart as you carry it. It's such a minor issue that I wouldn't hesitate to buy this based on it, but it's something Dometic should consider improving on; if there were stronger magnets in it that kept it together better, it would be basically a perfect cooler. ... show more

  • Too small and color is blah
Color: Lichen 12L
Returned this cooler. This cooler was far too small to meet my needs. Hard to judge by the dimensions until you get it in your hands. Also the color wasn’t to our liking once we saw it in person. Amazon clearly knew this was. A less desirable shade as the grey we bought in the bigger size was more expensive to a point of extortion. ... show more

  • Well made and good size
Color: Lichen 21L
Good size perfect for the back seat of our small car, holds enough for drinks and lunch. Well made and we used an ice pack and everything stayed cold.

  • It's greatest weakness is the one thing it's supposed to do...
Color: Lichen 21L
Have any of the people who gave high marks for this product actually used this cooler? I am highly doubting it at this point! Why? Read on! Let's talk about the good first. This cooler is one of the best looking ones I have come across. The colors are great, the logo is great, the overall look is at the top of the mountain. Good job. There is ample room in the cooler which gives you the ability to take quite a bit of food and drinks, but there is an issue with this fact in the case of this cooler. More about that later. The handling would seem to be not as comfortable, but if you thought so, you will be surprised. The magnetic handle is nice, and the strap feels solid yet lies softly on your shoulder. Even when it comes to the lid, I do not have any issues with the product. It works just as intended. Now the reason why I am giving the low rating. A cooler can look amazing, it can have incredible capacity, but if it doesn't do the one thing well it is made for, at a price that is not justified, we do NOT have a winning product. We have a flashy widget. At the top of the cooler world, coolers keep ice for over a week. Forget about that when it comes to the Dometic Recon. Recon? What a joke of a name for this kind of performance. In the last image you can see how much ice was left of a big bag of ice after just a few hours, not even close to a day by any stretch of the imagination. To get performance that is far far away from the performance of a cheap Coleman cooler or other cheaper coolers which cost less than a fourth (probably more less than a 7th), is embarrassing. I have had quite a few coolers, but this was the most disappointing performance I have seen. To be fair, I have tested this several times on different days and in different climates. The result was always the same: This is VASTLY overpriced for the money they want for the cooler. Dear Dometic, how about we work on making this thing do it's job first and then we can worry about design? ... show more

  • Love This
Color: Lichen 21L
This is a great little cooler. Super solid build quality and retains cold surprisingly well. Lightweight and compact. It was larger than I thought it would be when I ordered but still fits bends my seat in my vehicle. The lid can be hinged open or completely removed for loading and unloading. Great for 1-2 day outdoor adventures! ... show more
