Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Purchased this because I needed a larger and newer cooler. Took it on the maiden voyage to Colorado, leaving from Arizona. I also bought 2 Sterilite 7 qt shoe boxes (they have lock down covers), 14 3/8" L x 8 1/4" W x 6" H that fit perfectly inside the Igloo. The reason for the shoe boxes? I filled them with water and froze them. 15 lbs of free ice. Also bought a Sterilite covered box, 15 1/4" L x 11 1/2" W x 6" H to put items to be kept cool in. Fits nicely in the bottom of the Igloo (the plastic box keeps items from getting soaked). It leaves a bit of space on top of the box. Put the ice in the Igloo along with frozen stuff in the lower box along with milk, cream, eggs early Wednesday a.m. and drove to CO, about 360 miles in September heat (90 to 95 degrees, camped on the river in bright sunshine and chilly thunderstorms and did not completely melt the ice until Sunday morning. The stuff in the igloo was still acceptably cool and stayed that way until we got home to AZ. To say that I am happy with this cooler is grossly understating my satisfaction. It pulls easily enough with a full load and keeps everything cold for an extended period of time and holds a lot more stuff than my older cooler. If I have to, I'll buy another one. With any luck, this one will last a long while.
