Lifetime Hard Cooler, High Performance Ice Chest

This is an amazing cooler that keeps things cold for so long, the ice will last for a couple of days. It can be a little heavy once it’s filled with ice so be prepared. Overall it’s a great quality cooler and great value for the money. I highly recommend it.

Keeps everything much much colder than our previous coolers. Lid is easy to open and close. It’s super sturdy. Just wow.

I purchased this cooler to haul frozen beef across three states in 24 hours at -10degF. I had five different coolers and this one by far performed the best. The other four were from Mammoth, Igloo, and Coleman. After two days, the Lifetime had the most Dry-Ice left. The Mammoth was a close second. the Coleman and Igloo coolers were not of the same build quality and were rated as "6-day" coolers so it is no surprise that I had to add more dry-ice to them than the others. Though these appear to be a decent build and very tough, there are a few minor drawbacks with them. First, don't expect the lock holes to be of any use. One side is stainless steel but the other side, the lid, is simply the lid's plastic. A screwdriver could pop the hole. Second, and this is actually typical of all the "rotomold" coolers, they have a good amount of mass which makes them heavier and you have to pre-cool the inside. Otherwise, ice or other frozen contents will melt just to cool down the mass of plastic. Also, the rubber seal on the lid kept coming off. It is not glued in, just tucked into a groove. It was easy to re-seat every time but annoying to take the time to do so. Also, I think the extremely low temperature of the dry-ice caused it to shrink so it now no longer seals all the way around. I have not used this cooler long-term so it will be interesting to see how it holds up. These appear to be as solid as the Lifetime folding plastic portable tables which I think hold up relatively well. And the plastic did not warp with the extreme cold temperatures. Overall, I think this cooler is a good value for a cooler of this type.

Giant cooler holds ice for days. Very well made. As nice as the Yeti at a far more reasonable price. Count on needing a second person to lift when full.

Such a great cooler! Keeps ice for days, even longer if the cooler stays covered or in the shade. Love the durable handle that makes it easier to carry.

This is a very sturdy cooler, with very good closing latches, and has an option to place a lock. Nice thin top foldable handle for easy carrying. Its not too heavy, but has great storage capacity at 28 quarts. Just the right size for a day trip. Keeps everything cold as expected in average summer temps (80 degrees). Does not have a drain spout at the bottom for liquid.

We had one of these in the past and left it at the boat ramp when loading up to go home last season. 😩 We loved the latches as we live in bear country and it is well sealed for using on the boat. We finally replaced it and not only are we glad to have one again because it is great quality, I was so glad to be able to get one in a cute color we like rather than the boring grey version sold in the big blue box store. We also bought a 55 qt one to use for camping in a cute purple color and we can’t wait to use them.

I read a ton of reviews about every brand and all the features of coolers and then I saw a video of a car fire and it literally burned to the ground but there was a Lifetime cooler inside the vehicle, and when they went to look, they opened up the cooler and everything inside was still good and the ice was still in there. Then I went to a picnic and friends had this very cooler and told me how much they love it. That sold me on this Lifetime cooler. Plus, it’s American made, which I just really love. I’m not camping with bears much these days, but if you are, this is a solid choice. The features of this cooler that mattered most to me are the ice retention…it goes for days without melting, and I appreciate that it’s lockable (for people not bears), easier to carry around with the rope handles —two people can easily grab a handle and share the load, and it’s a really good size for a couple days on the river. Add in the price point compared to similar coolers and it’s the clear winner. So glad I read the reviews before almost getting a different brand. EDITED: We liked the cooler we got so much we decided to give one as a wedding gift for a family member...but we got them the 28 Quart one in the second photo since they're just starting out and don't have a ton of space. This wasn't something on their registry, but they were so stoked about it. It's the kind of thing you're not necessarily thinking about, but which you'll use for decades. They live in a rural hot climate and keep it in their car for bringing home frozen and cold items from the grocery store and said that's been a revelation for them. I had never thought of doing that so I'm going to keep a cooler in my trunk now, too. Even just the 20 minutes from the store to home...it'll make a difference.

Fantastic cooler. I am using it in a cold room every winter as my fridge, powered only with thawing food from the chest freezer. Also weather proof so it wont fill with rain water if sitting outside.

Ich habe die Box für Festival gekauft, und bin absolut begeistert. 1 Tag vor Festival hab ich mehre kühlakkus zum vorkühlen rein gelegt. Bin am Donnerstag Mittag losgefahren. Hab über das Bier 3 Packung Crasheis drauf gelegt. Hab die Box auf der Rücksitzbank gelassen, vom Auto. Bei 30 *C außen Temperaturen, hatte ich bis Sonntag früh. Richtig kaltes Bier. Da locke 40*C im Auto warten, ist die Box richtig geil. Es hat auch nichts aus gemacht warmes Bier nach zu legen. Also wer viel auf Festival geht, genau richtig.

Good👍

Just got to use this on a 4 day camping trip. Works awesome. Left on day 1 with a dozen freezer bags in it and they only just started to thaw after about 36 hours. Topped with 1 bag of ice after and it barely melted in 2 days. Was also left in the sun for most of the time. Highly recommend as it's much cheaper than a yeti and works just as well

I had been pondering buying a Yeti cooler for some time as I needed a hard cooler for camping trips but I am so glad I took a chance on this Lifetime cooler instead. It has a larger internal capacity than the Yeti Tundra 65 and it steadily kept our food cool for our recent 4-day camping trip. I am looking forward to testing it out on longer trips as well but it seems like it will keep the cold in just fine. Definitely a great buy, highly recommend.
