Nice cooler, but when left in the sun( this is why you have a cooler) the top layer of plastic starts to separate and bubble up, it is obviously thin and not firmly glued to the insulation a real bummer for an expensive cooler. Have several others (which you can't mention in a review) and they do not fail this test. Should have purchased one of the others mentioned above.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from coleman.comBy Customer Care, June 30, 2025
Hi, thank you for your candid feedback regarding the Coleman® Pro 45-Quart Hard Cooler. We are genuinely sorry to hear that the top layer of plastic on your cooler began to separate and bubble when exposed to the sun. This is certainly not the experience we want our customers to have, especially with a cooler designed for outdoor use and priced accordingly.
We understand your frustration, particularly when you have other coolers that have performed better under similar conditions. Your detailed description of the issue, specifically the bubbling and separation due to apparent thinness and insufficient adhesion to the insulation, is incredibly valuable. This feedback highlights a critical area for improvement in our manufacturing process and material selection. However, it's generally not advisable to put Coleman coolers in direct sunlight. Keeping them in the shade helps the ice last longer and maintains a cooler internal temperature. Direct sunlight can cause the cooler to heat up, reducing its efficiency and potentially causing the ice to melt faster.
Please know that we take all customer feedback seriously, as it helps us to continually improve the quality and durability of our products.
If you require assistance with the product, please contact us directly via our official Coleman website contact-us page https://www.coleman.com/support/contact-us or through Live chat, and we will be happy to assist you.
Thank you and have a good day! Coleman Consumer Care
The cooler is great...the handles are not. They clank and bang and are generally annoying.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The color is so on point on this. The durability is amazing and I can store so much in it from drinks to food while camping. It’s a little heavy when everything is in but easy to carry.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is a reputable brand, I have had a similar item and gave it away so I needed a new one. This cooler is the perfect size for events and travel, it is portable and reliable. I've also purchased other products from this brand so I know I can trust this brand and products.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very durable, thick and insulated well definitely holds food and drinks colder for longer. Despite how heavy it looks very lightweight. Really like the handles that they are more flexible.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’re looking for the ultimate high-performance cooler, the Coleman Pro Extreme Durability Cooler is an absolute game-changer. Built to last with a 10-year limited warranty, this cooler features full insulation in both the lid and body, ensuring maximum temperature retention. Whether you’re camping, tailgating, or enjoying a weekend by the lake, your drinks and food will stay cold for extended periods. One standout feature is its antimicrobial liner, which helps prevent odor, mildew, and mold buildup, keeping your cooler fresh and clean. The oversized, no-lose drain plug makes draining melted ice effortless, while the tie-down slots provide secure transport. Functionality meets comfort with easy-open latches and sturdy, comfortable handles, making it a breeze to carry. Plus, the seat lid design adds an extra layer of convenience—because why not have a cooler that doubles as a seat? It holds up to 74 cans, making it a perfect companion for any outdoor adventure. And let’s talk about aesthetics—the light blue color is absolutely stunning, making this cooler as stylish as it is functional. Coleman has truly outdone themselves with this one. If you need a rugged, high-quality cooler that delivers on durability and performance, this is the one to get. 10/10—highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect size for everyday use; grocery shopping, camping, ice fishing and sits steadily in the vehicle. Highly recommend. This is a rugged cooler that’s perfect for off road trip expeditions! Ice retention, weight and durability are perfect. Seals tightly and it’s worth every dollar spent. Now I’m ready for my next off road expedition!

Perfect size and stays cold

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am absolutely in love with my Coleman cooler. This color is absolutely wonderful 😍 I have always had. I had a smaller cooler for years and needed a larger one. This has so much space inside of it which is perfect for lo my road trips and camping. I love how durable it is as I’m accident prone and have a kiddo and dogs! I don’t have a lot of upper body strength but this cooler is easy to carry even with things inside of it. The handles are on strong rope like material and I love that they are longer making it easier for me to maneuver the cooler. I had my preteen sit on to see if it is truly durable for a seat and there was no issues or dents from some sitting on it. It says it last 4days for coldness I have only tested it out the last 24hours but everything is still super cold. I like that it also has a larger draining plug so I don’t lose it which I have done with some of my older coolers. This is a great and must have for families that like to travel!
