Coleman Xtreme 50qt Rolling Cooler with Wheels, Extra-Walled Insulation Keeps Ice up to 5 Days, Portable Wheeled Hard Chiller

This cooler is handy for outdoor bbq's, entertaining and also for emergencies. I have had times with a week of no electricity, though that is rare and you can put a block of ice in here and keep food for up to five days. This 50 gallon size will hold seventy cans, so big enough for a picnic assuming 2-3 drinks a person you could have enough for 20-30 people. It will hold 2 liter soda bottles upright. I also travel and one of my trips is often where the food is not to my liking (big group meeting.) I keep fruit and cheese and other foods cool if there is no fridge offered in the hotel room. While some of the premier brands go for hundreds, this is very affordable and does about the same. The instructions even say you can sit on the lid but it does crush under (springs back) so I'd say you can let children sit on it but a big adult should not. The top has four drink holders so with two folding camp chairs you get a sort of occasional table. The handle pulls up and you can wheel it from the car to wherever you need to be. Ice in block will keep your food cooler, and that takes some doing to find these days. You can also use frozen icepacks and cube ice. Items like milk need to be at the bottom. I also find it helps to put foods in plastic bags to keep them from getting wet or from leaking out. It's a bit small for a big family camping trip; you might need a bigger one or two of them if you have a lot of people along.

I almost didn't buy this because a lot of issues mentioned a problem with the lid. Luckily for me there are no problems with my lid. It was a little tight when I first opened it but after that it is function just fine. I took it on the three day camping trip and rotated Icepacks. I'm mostly used it to keep yogurt and proteins shakes cold and it did the job. I didn't use it for ice but hope to try that soon as I am very curious if that works. I love the wheels otherwise I wouldn't be able to carry it. My trick for loading into my car by myself was to put it in the car first and then load my stuff into the cooler. It was also very sturdy if someone wanted to sit on it. in addition it included four drink can holders. I also think it is a good value compared to some of the other coolers on the market that are ridiculously overpriced.

Great cooler that's sturdy. However, it does not keep ice for 5 days. I went camping and had to replenish the ice probably 2 times over 5 days. It was summer but not overly hot at the time either. So that was disappointing, but overall I like it. It's nice to be able to fit a large amount of cans, bottles, and food items in this without the cooler being one of the huge long ones. The lid can be difficult to open, but at least it's secure. You just have to pull up on it kind of hard. I love that this cooler has an extendable handle and wheels to make transport easier. While I wish the ice stayed longer, I'm still happy with the purchase.

I bought this cooler because in the past month, northern California has had one PG&E power outage after another in an attempt to avoid yet more catastrophic fires (for which their ancient and dangerous equipment have been to blame). I have a generator, but a small propane tank lasts only about 3 to 4 hours and I live in an over-55 residential community, so I have no plans to let it run all night. The generator is fine for a few days keeping refrigerated items cold and with some blocks of ice in the freezer, frozen foods stay frozen, but only for a day or two. Even with four tanks of propane, if an outage lasts for five or six days, because I no longer drive on the freeways,I am forced to ask a friend to drive me to where I can get them refilled. I wanted this small cooler to use to store food that needs to be kept cold but not frozen and it seems to be adequate for my purpose. I only just received it, so durability and sturdiness remain to be tested, but it will only be in my kitchen, not rolling through the wilderness or over bumpy or rocky ground or rocks. My biggest complaint, like several others who reviewed this item on Amazon, is that it is a real pain to get the lid open. There is nothing to grip and not even an indentation. I am 81 years old and my hands are not as strong as they once were, so I will be opening this cooler only when absolutely necessary. Pay attention, Coleman! You are a big name in the cooler biz. Correct the problem with the difficult lid - and other reviewers are absolutely correct that the telescoping handle is not likely to survive much rough use, so you need to address that as well. And why black? Sure, it won't show the dirt, but black is well known to absorb heat - a very strange color choice for a cooler! All in all, it is about what I expected and did not cost an arm and a leg, and it is what I wanted in the event of further power outages.

Kept food cold for 5 days with 3 bags of ice. One bag to cool it first. Large bag to pack food and water. One small bag on 4th day just to keep everything very cold. Size is good. I used long skinny containers for food. Was able to put a lot of drink in to get and keep cold.

とてもおしゃれです！ バーベキューに使用しましたが、周りからとてもカッコいいと大絶賛されました！ 保冷も満足です。

يحتفظ بالثلج لمده 3 أيام علي درجه حراره 28 ومع ذلك كان يوجد تلف ب سداده التصريف يخرج منها ماء الثلج لا أنصح به وتقييمي له 30%

Used once since purchase but very impressed. Used for an all day bbq but the ice was still there with the last few beers on the third day. After that it was gone but I could imagine if it was more packed it would stay for the stated 5 days. Will be using plenty in future for bbqs and camping trips.

A very good deal with only 60% of market price. item arrived in good condition, no dirty or stretch mark! I put in 3 bags of ice to test the tool. After 3 days there are still have some ices in the cooler. It may not last for 5 days but it definitely works for 3 days at least.. I'm satisfied with the performance!!
