Latch does not latch
on August 14, 2018
Posted by: James L
from Burlington, VT
Gender:Male
Not to pile on the hate train, but why did they have to ruin such a great cooler? My parents have had an older model for over 15 years and that thing is totally bomb proof. This one simply sucks.
With even the lightest tug, the latch mechanism will rip out of the latch housing. So the latch doesn't latch. Now I get to figure out how to return it and find a cooler that actually works.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Cheaply made!

I was excited when we found this cooler! But that didn’t last long when the latch kept coming apart when we locked it! Or when we arrived at our vacation to find our luggage soaked where it leaks! Tip put your ice in Ziplock bags to contain water! Sad that they charged the price they do for such poor quality!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Lid broke and latch never worked not worth it
on August 20, 2019
Posted by: bhuck
from ashville, al
Gender:Male
the latch on the cooler never worked seems like its there more for looks. The lid will open all the way around and ends up tearing up the lid and bending the hinges if this happens. definite design flaw. In the end put a little more with the money and buy a product that will last I have only had min a couple of months and now lid wont even shut. I love the looks of the cooler but thats about all it has going for it
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Build Quality and It Will Sell!
on January 30, 2025

I bought this cooler when they were first rereleased and was disappointed then. Was hoping that over time, todays date, they would have made needed changes. My issue is that it looks like a 70’s model, but not made to the same quality. I’ve read that materials have been updated to make the product better, not sure I agree. The locking system has changed so you don’t even need to unlock it, just pull or push hard enough on the lid. Not sure why the lock is even there. Also, what happened to the internal meat tray that use to come with every cooler. Does that item raise the price of the cooler so much no one would purchase it. I’ve been so disappointed in the one I purchased that it’s been upstairs in the barn since purchased it. I’ve been waiting for an honest vintage replica with durable steel parts instead of cheap plastic (locking mechanism, handle and latch, hinges…) before making another cooler purchase. I’ve been told the price would be to high for an item like that and no one would purchase it. Just browse online at the number of people looking for 70’s Coleman Coolers for sale. Throw the numbers out in emails and online and find out how many would be willing to pay for it. Make it so parts can be ordered and replaced. Make an actual replica using quality materials and make an American quality product again.

I was a sucker for the retro look...

I paid way too much money for a cooler not to keep ice cold and then to break three months after I bought it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use mine regularly for a beverage cooler. I grill outdoors every week, for family and friends, and can always count on my Coleman Steel Belted Coolers keeping my beverages icy cold!
I would recommend this to a friend!
