Title: Great Cooler, Excellent for Roadtrips
Review: (I left a shorter review of this cooler earlier, but after further use wanted to return to leave a more comprehensive review.)INTRODUCTIONI purchased this cooler on the recommendation of a friend who had several at a tailgate party I attended. After searching around for the best price I settled on purchasing the green colored cooler (which was the cheapest at the time) from Amazon. As a prime eligible purchase, it arrived two days later in perfect condition. Absolutely no dings, scratches, or dents like other reviews mention. It was perfectly packaged in factory boxes.APPEARANCEThe cooler is plastic encased in steel. The colored portion you see is steel whereas the white portion is plastic. Some people seem to believe this cooler is all steel. It is not. It is steel belted as the description clearly states. The latch is metal and plastic. The handles are also metal but with plastic grips. The cooler's appearance is stylish. Also, there is NO bottle opener on this version of the cooler. Some reviews allude to the presence of a bottle opener on the outside of the cooler. There is certainly not one on the version I ordered.FUNCTIONALITY AND USEHands down this is the best cooler I have ever owned. I take a lot of road trips and travel a lot for work and used to carry along an old generic plastic cooler with me to keep snacks, water, and soda. This cooler has replaced my old beat up travel buddy. It fits nicely in the back of my Ford Escape and has more then enough storage space for meats, cheese, bread, yogurt, fruit, beer, and ice. I can stock it with enough food for a 3-5 day trip easily. The cooler keeps ice for about two to three days outside of extreme temperatures. Two or three two liter bottles of ice are enough to keep everything cold for at least 2 says. If necessary, the ice can be supplemented with a bag of two from the motel to get you through the last day or two of your trip. I do not use the chemical ice packs (except one small one, see below), but they might last a little longer.Now just one thing to consider before you purchase this item. The cooler can get heavy especially when fully loaded. Of course it depends on what you put in the cooler, but I have loaded mine up to what was probably more then fifty pounds. That can be a lot of weight to carry especially longer distances. Unless you are a large burly man don't plan on carry this cooler, fully loaded, around all day long. (The plastic grips do a good job of stopping the handles from cutting into your hands when carrying and it is on the heavy side). To get around this limitation, I keep a small cold pack in the cooler and a small insulated bag I got as a freebie at a convention. Whenever I need to take something from the car to a different location and do not want to lug the entire cooler I just place what I need in the insulated bag with the cold pack.TIPS1. Don't waste your money buying bagged ice at convenience stores. Fill recycled two liter bottles 3/4 way full of water and freeze them. Use these bottles as ice packs. It will not only save you the mess of melted ice, but also a few dollars because you won't have to buy ice.2. Make sure to chill everything that will go in the cooler at least overnight. This will help extend the life of the ice in the cooler.3. It is useful to keep something like a bottle opener or cork screw in your cooler. Even a small folding knife can be a lifesaver when you need to cut open a package or some food.CONCLUSIONThis cooler is well worth the money. Yes, you can find cheaper alternatives in stores and online. But, the value of this cooler cannot be surpassed. You may save a few dollars by buying a generic plastic cooler, but those savings will quickly be lost with all your ice purchases and loss of food due to heat.

Title: Heavy duty cooler, light duty price.
Review: For what you pay and what you get with this cooler, it is of EXCELLENT value. I did what everyone else probably did...looked at the Yeti's and dreamed...and drooled. Then got a brisk slap across the face from my wife when she thought I might actually pay $600 ON A COOLER. Those Yeti's may be amazing but those prices are just absurd and cannot be justified by anyone who isn't literally a mountain man or a hunter who needs ice not to freeze for 10 days. Most of us normal guys who go weekend camping, don't fall into either of those categories, and so we turn our Yeti search into a "what cooler is also awesome but doesn't cost me my first born child" search.I've only ever owned Coleman and Igloo coolers and so that search began with those two. When I was underwhelmed with what Igloo had out there, I made the switch to Coleman and was immediately impressed by this cooler.My search criteria where as follows;Metal hinges (had an old Igloo with plastic hinges finally blow out on me, granted it was a 30yr old cooler so props to Igloo)Metal handlesSolid handle and/or locking mechanismHard lined and o-ring sealedThe Coleman Steel-Belted Cooler fit all of these criteria and was available for the modest price of $80. I deemed the 54 quart to be of substantial size based on the "can capacity" that is listed in the description. I love that Coleman knows their customers and knows we will want to know how many beer...I mean soda cans, that the cooler can fit.Trust me folks, I've beaten this thing up to heck and back on my camp trips and it has performed admirably. It can take a hit and keep on going, washed of easily with a hose, the hard lining wipes out quickly with a paper towel and it kept my ice frozen for 2 days straight. Also is a sturdy seat option for when your idiot cousin steals your chair at the campfire.

Title: Great Cooler
Review: Bought this for a road trip my kids and I took, and it worked great. Ended up getting divorced and this was the only piece of furniture I had for a few days. Very comfortable to sit on and lead against the wall in your empty house until your couch arrives. Keeps beverages cold for days while you are celebrating your newfound freedom. Highly recommend.

Title: Poor packaging for shipping
Review: Received the cooler the other day and it looks very nice. The only issue I have had was that the packaging it came in his essentially just a cardboard box. It arrived already dented. Not a huge deal. A metal wrapped cooler will get dented but I would prefer I was the one who dented it.Again, extremely minor detail but maybe something worth noting.I will update on how it fairs in the south AZ heat in the next couple of weeks. The construction seems solid and I have seen replacement latches and handles online so if anything does break it is nice to know you can fix it.

Review: I like everything about this cooler. Love the retro style and cools our food and drinks really well. We took it on a road trip with ice cubes on bottom layer, then food/beverage, then top with frozen water bottles(we love drinking very cold water) and by the 4th day the ice layer was still there even after opening and closing frequently. This thing is built so well I'm pretty sure it's going to serve us for many years

Review: Una excelente hielera para que armes tu picnic al puro estilo de los 60's o 70's muy bien hecho, bastante resistente, te puedes sentar en ella misma siempre y cuando no peses más de 120Kg.Mantiene las cosas a muy buena temperatura pero recuerda que es una hielera y deberás meter hielo para mantener los alimentos frescos.El dren es con un tapón que colocas y quitas para drenar, no es una válvula.Compré el color verde.

Review: Bought a second one off amazon as I love the first one I bought. Holds up to wear and tear of frequent use and keeps things frozen with just a couple of ice packs for 8-10 hours. Well insulated and holds a ton of stuff. Definitely recommend this product.
