Hinges break
The coleman cooler did what it was suppose to do and that was to keep the food cold for extended periods of time however, after three weeks the hinges broke and the top comes off completely.Coleman Xtreme Wheeled Cooler - 100 Qt.
Coleman 62-quart Xtreme Wheeled Cooler
Got this for family who do a lot of enteraining and traveling. They love it, and say it is easy to transport, durable, fits a lot of stuff, and keeps it all cool for long periods, even in the heat.
Works great for long trips!
We need this for a trip from Southern California up to Lake Tahoe, about a 10 hour drive. We filled it up with all our perishable groceries and ice and it kept everything cold they way it should. It is very sturdy and easy to move around. It is pretty to lift when filled with ice and groceries so you may want to have two people to lift it. Anything bigger than this and you would certainly need two people. The outlet plug is a must and works great to release the water without making a mess. Overall I am pleased and I look forward to using it again soon.
Way better than your average cooler
My girlfriend and I purchased this cooler before going out to Burning Man. We were looking for a cooler that could withstand 90+ degree temperatures during the day. I'm happy to say the Coleman Xtreme passed the test.
We had a non-Extreme cooler on hand as well which had drinks while the Extreme had food in it. After 1 day the ice in the older cooler had mostly melted. While there was some melting in the Extreme every bag of ice we put in still had ice in it. Even after 5 days one of the bags we put in that was near the bottom still had ice in it.
None of our food spoiled and the cooler was noticeably colder than the older cooler we had. Next year I'll be buying another Extreme cooler so our drinks can stay just as ... Read More
Works For Me...
I must admit that I didn't get this cooler from Amazon, it was given to me. I live in Florida and we just had a close brush with Tropical Storm Fay. On Monday morning, I put two 20lb bags of ice cubes in along with some pre-chilled milk, OJ and other items just in case. At worst I figured that I'd find out if the cooler was any good. As I write this, it is 10 o'clock Sunday evening and there is still three to four lbs of ice and a good deal of ice water in there. I added NO ice and there was NO leakage. So, does the cooler do what it says I'll do? You betcha! Do I recommend it? Yes I do!
