What reviewers liked
Not fancy, but gets the job done.
Built tough, strong handles, great price
The two way handles make it easy to carry despite its size. It also comes with a friendly price tag.
With no latches, 2-way handles, generous interior space, and lightweight sturdy construction, the cooler is well worth it for only $25
This is a great icebox for beach days or picnics with the family. It’s also a versatile size that can be used for drinks at parties, thawing meat and more.
What reviewers didn't like
The hinges on the lid are plastic and not as sturdy as those on other Coleman models.
Underwhelming ice life, lid won’t stay open, plain design
The lid hinges loosen up and will eventually come off
Thin plastic walls, not great ice retention, hinges and handles attached weakly, no lid gasket allows heat to seep in.
