Ozark Trail 30 qt 42-Can Hard-Sided Cooler, Gray

It's perfect. Not too big and not too small. I was afraid it would be too little to hold ice and a little food for a 4 day trip. Perfect size and clean as a whistle. Packed well, too. I've never had a problem with Ozark Trail in the many years I've been buying the products at Walmart.

I am giving it five stars for the size %26 price. I'm not sure about the handle or how long the ice lasts because I just picked it up. I will update my experience when I do use it. I did see negative reviews about how long things stay cold and the handle. But I also have seen good reviews about how long things stay cold and the handle.

perfect size! not too heavy when full but holds a good amount. nice square shape for easy stacking when traveling etc. kept our food items cold with very minimal ice for over 12 hrs travel in 90 degree temps (in our car--which with air conditioning--but only slightly melted ice)

100% recommend. Took it along with us to Colorado and it kept stuff cold for SO long on the road. 12 hours in and even though the ice had melted, it was cold as ever! Was able to perfectly preserve chocolate, besides keeping the drinks chilled. Great value for money. Don't think twice!

The Ozark Trail 30 Quart Hard Side Cooler is decent in its design, construction, and materials, except for one thing: the lid hinge is weak. I left the lid open for a period of time, which distorted the lid plastic at the hinge until it failed. Now if I open the lid without some support to lean it against, it will fall off. The cooler is still quite usable, but the lid is effectively detachable and needs to be snapped onto the cooler body, which is an annoyance. A better design would improve the strength of the lid hinge or use a strap to keep the lid from tilting back too far and putting stress on the hinge. Otherwise, the cooler is good enough. It's well insulated, durable, and easy to clean. It's medium weight and of moderate strength. A child can sit on it, but it won't easily handle an adult's weight without deforming. I wouldn't try to fill it full of ice and drinks: the handle probably wouldn't support the weight where it snaps into the body. But with a bit of ice in the bottom and filled with a mix of food, it does fine. The inner liner is a single piece of plastic and is completely waterproof, so it won't leak so long as you keep it upright. There is no drain hole. Four feet keep the cooler elevated slightly above the floor. According to the label, the cooler is 37% polypropylene, 25% recycled polypropylene, 25% HDPE, and 13% EPS foam. The lid is a single blow-molded piece of white HDPE. The body is composed of a white polypropylene injection molded inner liner slid within a polystyrene foam insulation shell slid within a blue polypropylene injection molded outer shell. The inner and outer plastic are fused to each other at the seam around the outside. The lid snaps onto the body. The handle is white polypropylene and snaps into the outer shell. If you can find the cooler on sale, it's a good value. At the normal price, it's just okay. You might do better to spend a few more dollars on something better designed.

This absolutely does not hold 14 cans. Even if you put them on top of the other ones, lay them down, the lid will not close. I'm going to keep it because it's the size that I need, it's just frustrating because I wanted something that would hold more than what this will. You might want to look for something a little bit bigger. And the cans I'm using are standard soda cans. Mt Dew Zero to be exact.

Overall, it's okay. Once you fill up the cooler with drinks and ice, the handle is a bit 'iffy' due to the weight of the cooler. Imy opinion, I think the handle will break off because of the weight being too heavy. May end up using it just to keep food chilled with a few ice packs during transport.

The cooler itself is fine but Walmart needs to have better quality control with delivery items. This is obviously a return that was in someone's shed or garage. It hasn't been used but it should have been AT LEAST wiped down before it was placed back on the shelf. Do better Walmart.

There is NO insulating foam between the outside and inside walls - just air space. As such it will NOT keep things cool for more than a day if not less than a day. I did a test and I packed it full of already refrigerator cold items and ice to the top. Less than 24 hours later all of the ice was melted sitting on my kitchen counter in 73 degrees air conditioned indoors space. Outdoors in the sun it would be far worse. This is really just a one day or half cooler. Again there is NO insulating foam between the plastic walls, just air space. It's more of a double walled plastic tub than an actual cooler.

I didn't want to spend nearly $40 for an igloo cooler of about the same size. So I spent $12 for a plastic box with a lid and handle. I pack my water and lunch about 4 am. I leave the house at 5, and hear my half melted ice sloshing around! My old (10 yrs) igloo only had about an inch of melt at the end of a 10 hour work day on a construction site in s. Florida. In the summer. This is junk!
