The cube shape design enhance ice retention capacity when the molded corner provide more stability. If you are looking for cheap small size cooler, this one is a good option for you.

This is a solid cooler all around, and we definitely enjoyed the improved ergonomic design. While it will likely not make it to the 5-day mark for cooling ability, it still is good enough and at a price point to warrant a weekend trip with it. It also well-constructed apart from the minor handle issue and the great choice of colors and styles makes it a recommended buy from us.

It features a cube geometry design which provides maximum ice retention. Instead of non-skid feet, the ice chest cooler utilizes a molded corner feet for optimum stability. Surprisingly, the cooler wouldn’t slide off when kept on any surface.

It’s nice and compact, has a compartment in the top for storing small items, and the curved back rests comfortably against your body or leg when you’re carrying it. One reviewer mentioned that a decent sized salad bowl will fit into it because of it’s square size, so it would be great for carrying tupperware with fruit or other snacks.

The only downside is the absence of drain spouts.
