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

I did quite a bit of research and finally bought this cooler for a three day two night camping trip a few weeks ago based on size, feature and price. Walmart had the best price around, and a very easy online order and pick up service. Our friends forgot to push the lid all the way down on the last night and the two bags of ice was still mostly in tact and the food safe the next morning. Incredible. It also survived a bad storm outside and cleaned up easily and nicely. Great size, design and value. The wheels and handle make it easy to use for a petite woman, and good storage inside for larger items, that's not always the case in other similar size coolers. For $30, I highly recommend it.

This cooler is great for on the go. The telescoping handle is a great feature to be able to pull it along. Saves the back ! Fits in the back of a hatchback or would even fit on a back seat. Has kept all my food nice and cold. Perfect for concerts, picnics, taking meals to friends and family and camping. If you need a mobile decent sized cooler this is a great pick. BTW: It really is strong enough to use as an extra seat or as a table -- it has cup holders on top.

I purchased a bunch of Bananas and some meats, after buying the Cooler. I placed the items in the Cooler to wheel them, from the vehicle to the living room. The handle kept going down and it is flimsy. Poor craftsmanship and materials. The last Coleman Cooler lasted nine years. until a friend lost the lids. The handle was made of metal on that cooler and attached securely. I bought a Rubbermaid and am satisfied with it.

We are inexperienced campers, and I bought this cooler for a camping weekend. I needed food and drinks to stay cold for only 2 days, so I figured a 5-day cooler would work. At the recommendation of camping friends, I froze two 3-gallon bottles of water and 1 flat plastic container 4 days before leaving for the weekend. I also froze the lunch meat we brought, yogurt tubes, and apple juice boxes. I primed the cooler by letting ice sit in it for a couple of hours, and then I packed the cooler right before leaving on a Friday afternoon with the frozen bottles of water, the frozen container, the frozen food, and other perishables like butter, milk, cream cheese, cheese slices, etc. While camping, the temperatures were in the mid to upper 80s. The cooler spent time in the shade, in the back of the car one afternoon when it reached 87 degrees outside (so hotter in the car), and in the car at night with temperatures in the mid to upper 60s. Upon opening the cooler that first meal in the evening, I found that food I had refrigerated (fruit, butter) had frozen in the 4 hours it had been in the cooler. Better frozen than spoiled, though! Throughout the weekend, all of the food and drinks stayed cold, and the meat thermometer I placed in the cooler read 34-38 degrees all weekend. We came home on a Sunday evening, but I was too tired to unpack the cooler. The following day, about 72 hours after packing the cooler, I unpacked it. The thermometer was reading 38 degrees. The two 3-gallon bottles of water were still about 2/3 frozen. The flat container was about 1/2 frozen. My other freezer packs I threw in were either thawed and cold or still partially frozen. I was very impressed at how little the ice in the containers had melted over 3 days and how my meat thermometer showed the inside of the cooler was still at a safe temperature for food. The only issue I had with the cooler, and it's minor, is that there is not much clearance between the bottom of the cooler and the ground when you are wheeling it. It got stuck on tree roots a few times, but otherwise, the cooler certainly met my expectations. I was skeptical because of the price , but given how infrequently we go camping and how few days we camp, I could not justify spending a couple hundred dollars on a cooler. This cooler was perfect for our needs!

I purchased this cooler despite some reviews stating it would not hold ice up to 5 days. I thought I'd try it since I need a wheeled cooler and it was a good price on Walmart. I had about 10 lbs of ice sitting on top of 20 cans/bottles inside my kitchen with the lid closed (about 84 degrees) and the next day it was water... cold water but still water. Thinking about trying Igloo brand. I expected at least 2 days maybe, but disappointed it was less than 24 hours.

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.

It looks robust and good. I test the cooler, by adding some ice cubes along with a thermometer, out side of it to monitor the temp. During the 3 days (as it is claimed) of testing, the temp kept okay(went down 1 or deg on the second day). After 13-14 hrs. the ice began to melt a bit, and gradually(expected) but temp was on the same level(+ 1-2). My testing was done on winter, when i bought it. Would be interesting how it holds on the warmer days in the summer.

I'm 5'11" and the handle is long enough so that you don't have to bend over at all to use the feature. Wheels are well made and the cooler as a whole is very durable. I camp a lot and attend several music festivals a year and this things is still going strong. Highly recommended. P.S. It's made in the good ol' United States of America.

I really wanted to like this ice chest. Instead, ice melted the first day of my trip and I had to keep replenishing daily. Had to keep in the shade covered with tarps to help reduce ice from melting. This definately is NOT a 5-day cooler as advertised. It is very hollow, hence not insulated. There are no handles to lift, only slight spot to grip. My Igloo 5-day cooler lasted longer, is better constructed, and has handles to lift.

Took to the beach for first use. Better than other coolers but ice was about 1/3 of volume we started with at beginning of 6 hours in 90 degree weather. Happy though, food stayed cold. Handles are not great for two people toting across 150 yards of sand and wheels too small to easily drag that far in deep/loose sand. BUT for price I'd buy again.
