  • Great cooler
Color: Arctic White Size: 65 Quart
This is an amazing cooler that keeps things cold for so long, the ice will last for a couple of days. It can be a little heavy once it’s filled with ice so be prepared. Overall it’s a great quality cooler and great value for the money. I highly recommend it.

  • Decent Quality But Some Minor Drawbacks
Color: Arctic White Size: 115 Quart
I purchased this cooler to haul frozen beef across three states in 24 hours at -10degF. I had five different coolers and this one by far performed the best. The other four were from Mammoth, Igloo, and Coleman. After two days, the Lifetime had the most Dry-Ice left. The Mammoth was a close second. the Coleman and Igloo coolers were not of the same build quality and were rated as "6-day" coolers so it is no surprise that I had to add more dry-ice to them than the others. Though these appear to be a decent build and very tough, there are a few minor drawbacks with them. First, don't expect the lock holes to be of any use. One side is stainless steel but the other side, the lid, is simply the lid's plastic. A screwdriver could pop the hole. Second, and this is actually typical of all the "rotomold" coolers, they have a good amount of mass which makes them heavier and you have to pre-cool the inside. Otherwise, ice or other frozen contents will melt just to cool down the mass of plastic. Also, the rubber seal on the lid kept coming off. It is not glued in, just tucked into a groove. It was easy to re-seat every time but annoying to take the time to do so. Also, I think the extremely low temperature of the dry-ice caused it to shrink so it now no longer seals all the way around. I have not used this cooler long-term so it will be interesting to see how it holds up. These appear to be as solid as the Lifetime folding plastic portable tables which I think hold up relatively well. And the plastic did not warp with the extreme cold temperatures. Overall, I think this cooler is a good value for a cooler of this type. ... show more

  • Great and sturdy cooler for the money!
Color: Arctic White Size: 65 Quart
I bought this cooler for an upcoming hunting trip and I have to say, it is exactly what I wanted. I did a lot of research on a "rugged cooler" that wouldn't break the bank and this one fits the bill perfectly so to speak (no pun intended). You can tell this is a solid cooler from the get go. The thickness of the cooler is easily 2 inches on each side with little to no give when sitting on the lid. It shuts/seals nice and tight to make sure that no cold air will escape or let any hot air in. I can really feel how sturdy it is when picking it up (it's not overly heavy) and the rope handles are perfect. The bottle openers on each side are also a nice added bonus. 🙂 Best of all, this cooler won't totally break your wallet so if it does get lost or stolen (let's hope not! 😅) your wallet may only shed a couple of tears vs. create a miniature waterfall. All in all, I'm very happy I purchased this cooler and I can't wait to use in many upcoming hunting/camping trips! 😃 Not to mention it's awesome that it's made in the USofA. 🤘 ***Update 6/15/2020 *** I took this cooler with me last weekend on my hunting trip and it kept all of my frozen packs frozen and there was hardly any water at the bottom of the cooler after I got home. The cooler was sitting in my Montero all day Saturday and it was least 85 to 90 degrees inside of the car. I also opened the cooler multiple times to throw in drinks/beer. I'm glad I picked a winner. Lifetime, if you ever read this, thanks a lot for making such an awesome cooler! :D I plan to also get a smaller version as well for picnics. ... show more

  • Great cooler!
Color: Arctic White Size: 115 Quart
Awesome cooler! I did thorough research on coolers because we needed something good for a festival we had coming up. We used it at Rockville this year camping for 4 days and it was a scorcher out and this cooler did the job. We opted for the dry method, where you leave the ice in the bags and it held the ice for a solid 3 days. It of course melted here and there but it kept it cool enough that everything in the cooler, including meat and dairy, stayed perfectly cold. It may have held the ice for the 4th day as well, but they came around giving out free 16lb bags of ice so of course we jumped at that offer and threw them in the cooler. Great storage capacity, it held a ton of stuff plus ice. It comes with a cutting board which can also be used as a separator and there’s little slots all the way down the cooler for different placement options, which was pretty cool. I’d never seen anything like that in a cooler. Overall most definitely satisfied! Awesome cooler and definitely does the job! ... show more

  • High Performance compact cooler
Color: Boulder Gray Size: 28 Quart
This is a very sturdy cooler, with very good closing latches, and has an option to place a lock. Nice thin top foldable handle for easy carrying. Its not too heavy, but has great storage capacity at 28 quarts. Just the right size for a day trip. Keeps everything cold as expected in average summer temps (80 degrees). Does not have a drain spout at the bottom for liquid. ... show more

  • Great quality and affordable!!
Color: Pumice Stone Size: 65 Quart
We bought this cooler for one of our kids for Christmas. My husband has this same one and we chose to buy another because of the durability, the length of time it keeps things cold (up to a week), color and great price! Comparable to name brand coolers but a much better price!
