this cooler is poorly made and not the standards I would expect, the latch fell apart and looks like it was very cheap. I would not recommend this

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.

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

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
