Overall, the cooler seems to be positively received by most users for its size, cooling capability, and durability, but some design improvements could enhance its user experience.
Pros:
Versatility: Useful in situations where refrigerator/freezer replacement is delayed.
Size: Large enough to hold a bag of ice and several beverages; can fit into specific car models like the Tesla Model 3 sub trunk; fits about 12 bottles with some frozen; suitable for day trips.
Cooling Capability: Keeps items cold; ice lasts for a significant period in various temperatures; has been effective in keeping items cold even during shipping for days; can keep items cool for around 12 to 24 hours.
Design: Connected lid makes it easier to flip without taking it off; securely closing lid; fits larger size bottles like SmartWater.
Durability: Sturdy, holds up well under use; several users mention it's well-made.
Price: Reasonably priced and offers a cheaper option than some other coolers.
Appearance: Many users like the color.
Ease of Use: Lid opens and closes easily; easy to handle and carry.
Cons:
Ice Melting: Ice tends to melt by the next day or within a shorter time in extreme heat conditions.
Smell: Initial plastic smell, which can be alleviated by airing out.
Label: Too much glue on the Coleman label makes it hard to remove completely.
Lid: Poor lid design that can come off or open easily, especially during travel.
Handle: Some find the handle to be flimsy.
Size Limitation: Some users note the sides are thin, and it may not be suitable for extended trips where items need to stay cold for days.
Weight: Can be heavy and cumbersome when fully loaded.
Missing Features: Suggestions such as adding cup holders to the inside of the lid.
