Igloo 48 QT Laguna Hard Sided Ice Chest Cooler, Red

A friend of ours in Maryland has a little stand outside for delivery personnel. We thought it was a good idea so bought this cooler and now have bottled water and assorted chips and crackers stored there for delivery personnel or even anyone stopping by. It seems everyone likes the idea and we may put ice in the cooler at times to keep the bottled water cool. We may even put a couple bottles of frozen water in to keep the cooler cool on very hot days.

I bought several of these and made them into feral cat shelters for the large colony I help manage. I have an appx. 6" circular attachment piece (perfect size for kitty entrance/exit) that I purchased from Home Depot which attaches to our handheld, electric power drill and badda-bing, badda-boom, drilled hole, lined with the thicker, kinda bubble wrap'y mylar insulation (comes in a roll like bubble wrap) then packed with STRAW (never hay) and kitties had new, very insulated homes for the harsh winters here in Colorado!! EXCELLENT price, excellent product. Very happy with purchase!! ** wasn't happy that the coolers were shipped to an alternate address I have on file despite my calling Walmart customer service to change it and was assured that it had been done but actually wasn't.

Pre chilled this ice chest. The first use I put in a 1 pack of pop and 6 bottles of water with 10 lbs of ice. It melted before 10 hours was up. The night I put in another 12 pack and 30 lbs of ice and it melted within 16-24 hours. There is no drain. The only plus is that it is extremely light weight (empty) Igloo has fell off big time with their products.

Was a wide crack In the back behind lid where it connects...crack was so large u could see inside the cooler..Bought right before leaving for a camping trip, We had no time to replace took it on camping trip constantly had to refill with ice. You can literally see down inside the cooler.

Very good quality for the price. This cooler is not cheaply made, which impressed me. I remember having this kind of cooler 30 years ago and was very pleased with it then and I'm very pleased with it now if you are looking for a good cooler, I recommend this one. The only thing that I would like to seen on this were wheels to make it easier to move around,

I was looking for a new low cost ice chest and I had two of these before that did a great job for many years so I decided to buy a new one. Same great quality, great low price and they do the job. I can keep my sodas cold for three days and still have ice left over at the end of a long weekend. The only thing I miss from the old ice chests is a drain. It would be a nice addition but there is usually problems with leaking so I'm okay that this ice chest does not have a drain. I would recommend this low cost ice chest for your cooling needs.

This cooler is horrible. with 3 bags of ice couldnt keep anything cool not even 24 hours! Our refrigerator went out. needed a good cooler for 2 weeks. we lost all our food overnight with this cooler. By the morning everything was warm. cheese was full of warm water. It didnt even last 24 hours of keeping things cool. GARBAGE!

Love the colors they come in. And it depends on what you need. For an afternoon at the park or ball field, with plenty of ice, it will hold sodas cold for several hours, but for camping, where your cooler is the refridgerator, it will fall short unless you want to refill the ice 3 times in 24 hours. It is definitely a short-term use item. My refridgerator went out and a new one is not in the budget for a few weeks. I also couldsn't afford an expensive Coleman, which is really what I need for this, but I COULD afford two of these and they hold a fair bit. The lids don't have latches, so it's easy not get it closed all the way, so ice can be melted really quick if that happens I have them wrapped in that heavy, large cell bubble wrap and that mnade a huge difference. bI had to cram a LOT of food into them in a pinch, so I AM gratefull for the price and size of them. And did I mention the bright, beautiful colors? They also substitute for extra seats. but cushions are separate! LOL. My title was not intended to be insulting, I am truly happy these wqere an option in my unexpected delemma.

For the price, and for simply kerping items cold, this does a fantastic job. I placed a 24 pound bag of ice on a Wednesday and it was still vold on Saturday. There is no drain spigot, but it's small enough to tip to drain! Small enough to fit two in the trunk of a Honds Civic and leave room for additional items! I had all my food prep for a large party in two coolers.

If you're in need of a cooler that doesn't need to keep items cold for more than a couple days, save yourself a LOT of money by going with Igloo. Yeti's cost about 10 times more. Unless you're going away for a week doing some hardcore camping, don't waste your money. Also, Yeti's are much heavier so moving it around your backyard will be a much bigger hassle
