Customer Reviews for Coleman - Vintage 54 Qt. Steel Belted Cooler - Red

When I was looking for new cooler that wasn't all plastic, I was happy to see that Coleman still makes this model that served as our family's workhorse cooler when I was a kid growing up, so I purchased one recently to see if it has stood the test of time, and after using for a few weeks, I would say it has, and would recommend to others. What I like best is the metal clasp, handles, and most importantly, hinges. Insulation is good, with needing to replenish ice about every other day. Drain plug is tight, no leaks. Only regret is that it doesn't come with a tray anymore to keep deli stuff off the ice so that it won't get soggy. Looks like there are some third party options though for a tray or basket that will fit.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Went away for the weekend. This cooler used to be our stepdad’s. We thought we would try it out. It kept ice all weekend long and the temperature was 100° and everything stayed cool and fairly any ice melted Halie recommend

Great cooler. Minimize opening and closing and your ice will last for a few days. Made to be super durable as well. Made in USA is a plus too!

Looks great but latch fails

Cooler looks great and keeps ice. However the cheap plastic keeper piece that the metal latch hooks too is a fail. I've had to replace twice now. It's breaks and falls out leaving nothing for the latch to hook on. Coleman should send at least 5 of these with every cooler because it will happen
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Weak latch, useless drain plug
on September 24, 2025
Posted by: booboo8121
The latch is not particularly secure and will break sooner rather than later. The drain plug is completely useless. You might as well not even try, it's going to empty all the melted ice after the course of a day even when it's closed. This is a cheap cooler at a premium price.
