(2 pack) Ozark Trail 30 Quart Hard Side Cooler, 42-Can Capacity, Gray

​I recently picked up the Ozark Trail 30 Quart Hard Side Cooler from Walmart for a weekend camping trip, and it exceeded my expectations for the price. If you need a reliable middle-of-the-road cooler that isn't as bulky as a full-size chest but holds way more than a lunch bag, this is a fantastic choice. ​Personal Experience ​What I love most is the height; it's tall enough to hold 2-liter bottles or wine bottles upright, which is a huge plus. The carry handle is sturdy and has a comfortable grip, making it easy to haul from the car to the picnic table even when fully loaded with 42 cans. ​The top of the cooler is flat and solid, which actually doubles as a great little side table. I found the integrated cup holders on the lid to be incredibly useful—they kept our drinks secure while we were sitting by the fire, so we didn't have to worry about them tipping over in the grass. ​Performance %26 Useful Tips ​I was able to keep my food and drinks cold for a full 48 hours in 80-degree weather. Here are a few tips to get the best out of it: ​Pre-chill is Key: I kept the cooler in the house the night before and put a couple of frozen water bottles inside to bring the internal temperature down before packing. ​Layer Wisely: Put your heavy items and meat at the bottom directly on the ice, and keep delicate items like eggs or sandwiches near the top. ​Don't Drain Immediately: As the ice melts, keep the cold water inside! It actually helps insulate the remaining ice and keeps your drinks colder than air would. ​Final Verdict: For under $20, you really can't beat the value. It's lightweight, durable, and the gray color doesn't show dirt easily.

Seems to be a good little cooler, though when it arrived one side of the handle had come out of the cooler. This cooler is not stocked in my store and I wasn't able to see it first hand, so I would caution buyers that have to order it that it may be quite a bit smaller than you thought it would be. For someone wanting a small cooler this should be a contender.
