Igloo MaxCold 5-gal. Beverage Cooler Review

Average Reviews:

I ordered this cooler to use during the Thanksgiving holiday. I hosted our family dinner gathering and made 5 gallons of lemonaid to go along with the feast I'd prepared. Ease of use is definitely a plus! No leakage noted from the spout.
To cut down on time I made the lemonaid a day before and also put the ice in the container and to my surprise the remaining beverage did remain cold for days after. I am so pleased with my Igoo MaxCold 5 gal. beverage cooler and the quality of this product.

IGLOO Heavy-Duty 5-gal. Drink Cooler Review

IGLOO Heavy-Duty 5-gal. Drink Cooler
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This cooler works great. We buy a 1 lb bag of ice and add 3-4 gallons of water. This will usually last thru whatever outdoor function we are at (picnics, soccer games, beach). I'd probably fill this dispenser at your destination unless you have a really secure way of keeping the container from going sidewise in your car and spilling.
We added the igloo beverage dispenser, but unless you are with a lot of other folks I probably wouldn't bother and just bring some plastic cups for your family members.
The lid is white and can get dirty easily, but it cleans up well with a soap and water. The container originally has a slightly funky new plastic smell, but scrubbing it with soap and water and letting it air dry out overnight seemed to fix it.
If you add gatorade be prepared for the inside white liner to get stained over time.
The 5 gallon size is much easier to manage than the much larger full size dispenser. This 5 gallon dispenser is easy to handle with one person (even when full), and you even works well for dumping water on the coach at the end of a big game.

Coleman Water Carrier (5-Gallon, Blue) Review

Coleman Water Carrier (5-Gallon, Blue)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My father purchased two of these Coleman 5-gallon water jugs for my wife and I as emergency water storage when we moved into a common hurricane area. We have used the Coleman water jugs for 8 years and have never had a problem with them. They can be laid on their sides on picnic tables, then open the vent on top and they serve as a great kid-friendly water service. The nozzles are easy to turn and easy to clean. During the hard Pennsylvania winters, I keep both of them full in case of emergencies. Every year before we start camping and fishing I wash them out with a table spoon of bleach and fill them with hot water. I would recommend these to my friends and I plan on buying a few more for safe keeping! Thanks, Coleman, for making another good piece of camping gear.

Coleman PowerChill Thermoelectric Cooler with Power Supply (40-Quart) Review

Coleman PowerChill Thermoelectric Cooler with Power Supply (40-Quart)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this cooler to plug-in and sit in the back of one of my Jeeps for road trips and weekend getaways where we want to bring our own food instead of eating out and especially fast food. Recently my wife and I rented a small cabin and we made our meals at home, put the meals in this cooler for the trip and then we used it as a fridge at the cabin (the cabin just had electricity).
I didn't buy this to be a full time fridge so I can't say how many years it will last? So far it works just fine, is quiet and keeps everything cold (including beer!). It's benefit is that no ice is required, and in fact you are not suppose to use ice with it as the moisture from the melting ice may cause the fan to ice up. For those that have said that theirs froze up, they may have put ice in it? I do have another ice cooler to use when I can't plug this one in.
The cigarette lighter power cord is long enough so that you can place it about anywhere in your vehicle. But be sure to also buy the power cord for plugging into a standard electrical outlet when not in your vehicle.

Coleman 62-Quart Xtreme Wheeled Cooler (Blue) Review

Coleman 62-Quart Xtreme Wheeled Cooler (Blue)
Average Reviews:

This was a fantastic buy! My friends and I went camping a few weekends ago and all had to buy coolers. All of their coolers were full of water with barely any ice left by the morning of the second day! (Saturday). Meanwhile, our cooler (Coleman 62-Quart) was still full of ice on Sunday when we were packing to come back home. I highly recommend this cooler!! I couldn't have been happier with it! :)

Ideal for camping, tailgating, picnicking, hunting, and just about any other outdoor activity, the Coleman 62-quart Xtreme wheeled cooler will keep you hydrated while on the move. The Xtreme has pretty much everything you need for a trip to the beach or park: plenty of food and beverage space, four stay-put beverage holders, all-terrain wheels, and an easy-grasp tow handle. The Xtreme also stays cold much longer compared to other coolers, with a chamber capable of storing ice for five days at exterior temperatures of up to 90 degrees F. And don't worry about running short of space too soon, as the cooler holds 85 beverage cans with ice. Other features include a durable plastic exterior that resists scratching and denting, an interior channel drain for easy no-tilt draining and cleanup, and a lid that supports 24-inch cords (not included) for additional dry storage. The cords let you fit lawn chairs, picnic baskets, beach towels, and more on the top of the cooler while you walk to your campsite. The cooler measures 31.5 by 17 by 15.5 inches (W x H x D).
About Coleman More than 100 years ago, a young man with an entrepreneurial spirit and a better idea began manufacturing lanterns in Wichita, Kansas. His name was W.C. Coleman, and the company he founded would change life in America. A man plagued with such poor vision he sometimes had to ask classmates to read aloud to him, Coleman saw a brilliant light in 1900 in a drugstore window that stopped him in his tracks. He inquired about the light inside and discovered he was able to read even the small print on a medicine bottle by the illumination. The lamps had mantles, not wicks, and were fueled by gasoline under pressure instead of coal oil. Soon afterward, Coleman started a lighting service that offered a "no light, no pay" clause--a big step forward for merchants who were burned by inferior products that rarely worked--and drew substantial interest from businesses that wanted to keep their lights on after dark.
In the ensuing years, Coleman expanded its product line well beyond lanterns. The company's current catalog is thick with products that make spending time outdoors a pleasure. There are coolers that keep food and drinks cold for days on end, comfortable airbeds that won't deflate during the night, a complete line of LED lights that last for years, powerful portable grills that cook with an authentic open-grill flame, and much, much more. Coleman has truly fashioned much of our outdoor camping experience, and expects to do so for generations to come.

Stanley Classic Lunchbox Cooler and Bottle Combo Review

Stanley Classic Lunchbox Cooler and Bottle Combo
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Stanley thermoses have been a part of our family for generations, going back to my great grandfather. Stanley has a reputation for ruggedness and high-quality, and this Stanley Outdoor Lunchbox cooler lives-up to that reputation. First of all this combo comes with one of Stanley's famous vacuum flask thermoses. Vacuum flask technology is the best technology for preventing thermal attrition (keeping your hot drinks hot and your cold drinks cold). I enjoy my coffee very hot and my water ice cold. When I received this I tested it and found that it kept my coffee nice and hot (not lukewarm) for over 2 days! As for cold, it had ice in my ice water in it after almost 3 days (and I live in the south where it's warm).
The entire bottle is stainless steel. It is double-walled, with a vacuum between the steel walls. The screw-on stopper seals very nicely and is made of a very strong plastic, it seems very solid. The cup fits well and is solid plastic with chrome on the outside.
The cooler has two compartments inside:
The larger compartment is 7-1/8 in. x 7-7/8 in. (inside dimensions)
and the smaller compartment is 7-1/8 in. x 4-1/4 in. (inside dimensions)
The cooler works very well (amazingly well, actually) keeping food nice and cool - I also add one of those plastic ice packs to keep it cold things really cold and at the end of the day the ice pack itself is barely melted/almost totally solid ice still. It has a nice locking handle that when placed in the upright position snap-locks the lid onto the cooler and locks the thermos between the cooler and the handle (there is a curved recess in the top of the lid that the thermos fits onto and when the handle is in place, that thermos will NOT fall-out accidentally). The cooler is compact and easy to carry, and a appropriately sized (not some huge cooler like you take to the beach).

Here are some specifics on the Stanley Thermos/Lunchbox Combo that you might find useful:

I must say that I am impressed with the quality and innovativeness of the design. It is definitely a must-have for students, in offices and commuting to work, on the job where ruggedness is required, and out on the trail. The only drawback I see is that it is made in China instead of the U.S.A. Personally, I'd happily pay double the price for one that was made in U.S.A. In any case, a good Stanley product is worth the investment. I am very happy with the product.

This cooler really keep ice water cold for a long time. I filled it with ice and it stayed cold for 2 days in 90 degree F heat. However, the lid seal is loose (is it just mine?) and you have to carefully put on the lid so the seal doesn't fall into the inside or get bunched up. It is a real pain.

I've been using water dispensers for a while and some how they all work fine. The problem with them is that they are made out of plastic. No more than a year and you have to start thinking how to replace the dispenser. Having a water dispenser made out of stainless steel secures me that it will run on the middle and long term. I am pretty sure I made a good decision with this dispenser ... works great!

Purified water should be stored in either a glass or stainless steel containers to maintain purity. Until now there has not been a good stainless steel alternative. Dinuba Stainless Steel Water Dispensers are imported from Italy and are made of the highest quality 18/10 stainless steel. Originally used to dispense olive oil this beautifully designed stainless steel container is easy to clean with dish soap. The top, reminiscent of antique milk cans, has a large screw top opening and two handles. The dispenser top can remain closed for dispensing because of the built in screw air vent. The vent allows air in without contamination. The spigot/faucet is a push button type and is a stainless steel fitting, water does not come into contact with any plastic. Dinuba's classically designed Stainless Steel Water Dispensers offer convenient, lightweight water transport, as well as stylish countertop or refrigerator dispensing. Ideal for the home environment and more rough and tumble environments where glass is not a good option such as RV, boating and camping........... 25 liters is 6.6 gallons. Overall dimensions are 14 x 14 x 13 inches tall. Stand not included.

As noted by other reviewers, this is neither fridge nor warmer oven. It is a "cooler/warmer" which is something I doubt anyone one wants or needs. This device has a tiny fan and maybe a little compressor and heating element. It is capable of slowing the warming of already cold items or, in the warm mode, slowing the cooling of already warm items. It is not capable of cooling warm items (like a can of soda) nor capable or warming cold items. I cannot think of any practical use for it nor I bet can many other people...which is why it is being sold by a liquidator.

In spite of everything I've read that convinced me to purchase this product I have been disappointed by yet another storage container that doesn't work properly. It sure seems like it's a tight lock once it's fully closed... when the locking tab isn't broken! This tab broke after just 2 days of use... incredible! The tab actually split vertically so that it can no longer lock the lid and cup together. And it wasn't even abused by some kid, it was properly handled by adults only. I guess I was the unlucky recipient of a defective product. As with such small items, I won't bother to send it back to Amazon (my time is worth more than the money), but this is clearly too expensive a set for the total lack of durability. For the same size, you're probably better off washing and reusing a glass jar of baby food. I will resume my quest for good quality freezing containers that actually close properly, but not buy this type of item online again. :(

Coleman 70-Quart Xtreme Cooler (Blue) Review

Coleman 70-Quart Xtreme Cooler (Blue)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This review is for two similar Coleman Xtreme coolers, which are virtually the same size on the exterior: the 70-quart, 5-day, BLUE cooler and the 56-quart, 6-day, GREEN cooler. By the way, these coolers do not come equipped with a plastic shelf to keep food suspended above the melt water.
First, let me say that Coleman made its reputation years ago with its workhorse, white-gas cook stoves and lanterns. Today Coleman mostly makes products for backyard use and casual family camping. Coleman generally does not make quality products for avid outdoors people operating in rugged or demanding conditions, so you can't expect too much when purchasing a Coleman product.
That said, I went through Amazon.com to purchase a Green Coleman 6-day cooler because I didn't want to shell out hundreds of dollars more for a tougher product and because I needed a cooler that would fit comfortably between the gunwales of our canoes. So far, I have used this cooler on two river trips, the first of which lasted seven days in southern Utah during September, 09. The weather was hot, but could have been hotter. Our block ice lasted 6 days, and on the 7th day we had plenty of ice water, so the cooler achieved its 6-day rating.
This was followed with a 4-day trip in October, which wasn't long enough to test the cooling performance of the cooler, but did reveal the cooler's low-quality construction. On the second day out, one of the handles came off when its plastic retaining pin fell out. A member of our party had with them a smaller Coleman Xtreme cooler, and both of its hinges were broken off and useless. So, if you plan to use this cooler much, I would suggest taking the preventive measures described below. And then try to be gentle with it.
A few weeks ago I purchased a 70-quart, 5-day Blue cooler at Wal-Mart for $30. At this price I couldn't pass it up. Apparently the store had a few of these left over from last year, and they were being sold at a deep discount because Wal-Mart is featuring a different Coleman Xtreme product line this year. I haven't used this cooler yet, but I can describe how the two Xtreme coolers compare physically.
NOTE: See my "customer images" available under the main product photo to see what I am describing here.
On the exterior, the two coolers are indistinguishable except for the colors. Same cheap plastic hardware on both. On the interior, the 6-day green cooler has noticeably thicker walls implying more insulation, and thus 20 percent less volume than the blue 5-day cooler.
Here are the fixes I have adopted in an effort to overcome the flimsy hardware issues. When I got home from the second river trip, I used a screwdriver to pry out the plastic retaining pins on the two handles (two pins each) and glued them back into place with Gorilla glue. This I expect will hold the pins in place for a while. On the newer cooler, I removed the plastic handles altogether and replaced them with rope handles. This type of handle has the advantage of remaining in a fixed position (unlike the original sliding plastic handles) allowing me to run a strap between them to secure the lid in case of a canoe upset.
On the interior of each cooler, I have screwed into place a short nylon strap between the lid and the side wall. The strap is long enough to allow the lid to open beyond 90 degrees and remain in an upright and open position, but the strap is short enough to prevent the lid from extending backward far enough to place excessive strain on the hinges. I am hoping this will keep the hinges from snapping anytime soon.

The Coleman 70-Quart Xtreme Cooler is the ideal traveling companion. The large icy blue cooler and white lid are lined with a full two full inches of insulation and the hinged lid also features a secure and tight gasket seal, ensuring that your cooler will keep food and beverages chilled for up to five days at temperatures of up to 90 degrees. Holding up to 98 beverage cans with ice, this cooler features two-way handles for easy lift and maneuvering in tight spaces, and the sump-lined drain promises easy clean-up and no-tilt draining--a plus for this large capacity cooler. This model’s lid can be fitted with 24-inch cords (not included) for additional dry storage--lawn chairs, beach towels, picnic blankets, etc.--on top.
About Coleman The Coleman Company has been creating and innovating products for recreational outdoor use since W.C. Coleman started selling gasoline-powered lanterns in 1900. Inventor of the hugely popular fold-up camp stove, Coleman developed a plastic liner for his galvanized steel coolers in 1957--the birth of the modern cooler--and the company has been improving their utility and design ever since. The array of products that bear the Coleman name now includes just about everything you might need to work or play outdoors, from tents and sleeping bags to boats, backpacks, and furniture.
