Lifetime Hard Cooler, High Performance Ice Chest

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.

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.

This cooler keeps ice for days! And stores alot! Took camping and didn't spend a fortune on ice.

This cooler is such good quality! Kept all of my food cold and I went on a three day camping trip. Some ice melted and I picked up one more bag. But I honestly would’ve been fine without buying more. I’m pleased!

Well made and made in the USA. It’s heavy, I guess that’s the price for being Bear proof.

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.

Probably one of the best coolers we’ve ever had! Kept ice longer than one of our overpriced overrated coolers.

Keeps everything much much colder than our previous coolers. Lid is easy to open and close. It’s super sturdy. Just wow.

Just got to use this on a 4 day camping trip. Works awesome. Left on day 1 with a dozen freezer bags in it and they only just started to thaw after about 36 hours. Topped with 1 bag of ice after and it barely melted in 2 days. Was also left in the sun for most of the time. Highly recommend as it's much cheaper than a yeti and works just as well

Ich habe die Box für Festival gekauft, und bin absolut begeistert. 1 Tag vor Festival hab ich mehre kühlakkus zum vorkühlen rein gelegt. Bin am Donnerstag Mittag losgefahren. Hab über das Bier 3 Packung Crasheis drauf gelegt. Hab die Box auf der Rücksitzbank gelassen, vom Auto. Bei 30 *C außen Temperaturen, hatte ich bis Sonntag früh. Richtig kaltes Bier. Da locke 40*C im Auto warten, ist die Box richtig geil. Es hat auch nichts aus gemacht warmes Bier nach zu legen. Also wer viel auf Festival geht, genau richtig.

Outstanding performance kept drinks cold and frozen water bottles for 5 days.

Good👍

Fantastic cooler. I am using it in a cold room every winter as my fridge, powered only with thawing food from the chest freezer. Also weather proof so it wont fill with rain water if sitting outside.
