I put 14 pounds of ice in it and it melted as fast as it would in a regular cooler.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are so sorry to hear your cooler did not retain ice as expected. For optimal ice retention, we recommend pre-chilling your cooler and its contents, as well as using large blocks of ice or frozen water bottles!

This cooler out-performs any previously owned hard coolers. I bought this for use on our fire engine. I put four frozen water bottles along with twelve room temperature ones into the cooler to start with. After three days (all in the mid to high 70’s) all water bottles are still cold and the frozen ones have a small bit of ice in them. Definitely recommend this cooler for multi-day use.

After recieving 2 coolers without handles and having to call twice to get the problem resolved. I finally got one with a handle. The people i talked with on the phone were very friendly and helpful. Now i love the cooler it holds ice for a couple days even when left in the hot vehicle. Only 4 stars because it does leak a little when tilted over after the ice melts
