" ...  Holds lots of ice.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I had ice and food in from Saturday morning till Sunday evening and it was fine. ... There was some melting but if you put in sufficient amount of ice, it should stay longer.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Kept ice intact for about two days, and then iced water quite cool for the third day.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I used a few tricks to help make the ice last the longest: ... I found a local ice company that sells block ice (grocery stores don't seem to sell the block ice anymore). ... But the block ice makes a big difference. ... You can lose a lot of ice just doing the initial chilling of warm food and drinks, so it really helps to only put things into the cooler that are already cold. ... The cold water helps keep the remaining ice from melting, better than air can.  ...  "

" ...  I have to pull on the sides rather than at the opening groove.  ...  "
comment
" ...  So I don't mind -for this price- that the walls seem thin, or that the lid is not as sturdy as our other Coleman cooler. ... I do however mind that the hinges are attached with one plastic rivet per hinge, instead of two metal screws.  ...  "

Also, the hinges are so stiff that it won't stay open--it shuts itself when you are trying to fill it, so you have to try to force the lid open with a knee or elbow while using it.  ...  "
