Extremely poor quality

Didn’t even have the cooler a full year and the lid warped?
How can it hold ice for 5 days with a warped lid?
It almost looks like a lays potato chip as both ends curled up… for the price this should have lasted years now I’m out of pocket for another 100qt cooler. Coleman products just aren’t what they used to be.
Buyer beware!

We bought a yeti at three times the cost and the ice melted in 3 hours. Using this cooler, we still had ice a week later. Came highly recommended and we can wait to use it for the next decade
I would recommend this to a friend!

Wheel fell off immediately but was able to put back on. This is a huge cooler that is very heavy when loaded, not a one person job.

Hello. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Coleman Classic Series 100-Quart Wheeled Cooler.
We are sorry to hear that you had an issue with the wheel right after purchase. While we are glad you were able to reattach it, we understand how frustrating that must have been. We also appreciate your note on the size and weight, large-capacity coolers can be heavy when fully loaded and often require at least two people to move safely.
Your feedback is very valuable, and we will be sure to share it with our product team for review.
If you have any more feedback, please reach out to us via our Contact Us form on our website. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time.
Thank you!

Hi! Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding the Classic Series 100-Quart Wheeled Cooler. We appreciate your detailed review and are sorry to hear that the cooler did not meet your expectations, particularly in terms of ice retention.
We understand that the primary function of a cooler is to keep items cold, and we apologize for any inconvenience you experienced. Your suggestion is valuable and will be considered for future product improvements to better meet the needs of customers looking for longer-lasting cold storage.
In the meantime, if your cooler is not staying cold, consider the following factors that may affect its ice retention:
Pre-chilling items: Ensure that all food and drinks are pre-chilled before placing them in the cooler. This helps maintain a lower temperature.
Ice quantity: Use plenty of ice, approximately 0.75 lbs. of ice per rated quart of the cooler.
Loading order: Load cans and bottles first, then cover them with ice, as cold air travels down.
Minimize lid openings: Limit how often you open the lid, as each opening allows warm air in, which can melt the ice faster.
Storage conditions: Keep the cooler out of hot locations and direct sunlight, as this can significantly reduce ice retention.
Water retention: Do not drain the melted ice water, as it helps keep the remaining ice cold.
Check for defects: Inspect the cooler for any defects, such as a warped lid or insulation voids, which can compromise its performance.
If you need our assistance, please contact us through our official Coleman website Contact Us form or via live chat, and we will be happy to assist you.
Thank you, and please stay safe!

Garbage Can

Had the cooler since last year, used it about 7 times and the lid started to warp about 6 months ago and it's getting worse. I cannot even close it without the right and left sides of the lid sticking up. No longer retains super cold drinks. I notice that they are still selling this model, but with a different lid. Hmmmmmmm. You think they would recall the product. I can add images if anyone asks.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good cooler - as advertised - very heavy when full

Product is as advertised and is a great value for the price - much heavier to haul around than I thought - beware when moving distances (tailgating)
