Coleman 50-Quart Xtreme 5-Day Hard Cooler with Wheels, Dark Blue

There are cheap coolers that keep ice for a while, and there are stupidly expensive coolers (yeti, frigid rigid, engel, icy tek) that cost a few hundred dollars but keep ice for a week. The Coleman 50 quart Xtreme wheeled cooler will hold ice for ALMOST a week, so it's in the same realm as coolers costing 10 times as much. It won't beat those really expensive coolers, but it will be in the same ballpark for ice retention. It's isn't built as well as them (gasket lid, stainless hardware, etc) but having a regular hinge is much better than My previous wheeled cooler had the wheels going the other way, (both on the narrow side) so you had to lift it by the handle to pull it along. This one simply tilts, so you don't need to be partially lifting the cooler to drag it along. Also, my old cooler barely made it through a day. Using the same cooler tactics that I did before (ice it down ahead of time, only put cold food/beverages in it, keep it full, minimize number of times you open it, make sure lid is closed, don't drain melted water) I can keep ice for a few days now. It's the only $30 cooler that can keep up with the $300 ones. It can't beat them, but it's $30!

This is a great 50 quart cooler. I could ice in it with my food items on Friday afternoon and it kept food cold until I got home Monday afternoon. We camped out at the lake where the temperatures were around mid-90s during the day. When I dumped my cooler Monday afternoon there was still ice in the chest.
