Does it leak if you use icecubes with it and leave it in over night and they melt?

No, not if it was left upright. It has a hard plastic liner inside so it won't leak and makes it easy to clean.

My guess is no. The silver liner inside seems waterproof. To be safe just use the white plastic insert which will hold the water in place

Not if sitting upright. It has a hard plastic (removable) container that acts as a liner.

If you find out please let me know. It still leaks. We have to chip out the icd weekly before it melts on the floor. We have tried taking off the back and unclogging some of the tubes and it did not work. Tried to call company but they can't help unless I want to pay $$$ for a new warranty.

I have been using them for almost a year. I use them on the ice mode. During this period only one cube has leaked. When I bought it I thought they were smaller and less bulky. But these three sheets of artificial ice are quite large and heavy.

I haven't had problems with leaks yet. My kids love these...don't fill them up all the way otherwise when u close them it will spill over.

Mine leaked like CRAZY! I used loose ice cubes, so I definitely recommend ice packs if you need them.

No and why would you want it to. Even if all the ice melts at least your drinks would still be in cold water. Also, after having this at the lake for a couple of long hot summer days, the best thing to do is to set a regular cooler inside of it. Ice stays much longer. What ever size cooler you can fit in there, it will hold it. We have a 56 quart cooler with wheels and it fits in there just fine. Hope this helps. This thing is super though and if you plan to spend all day floating, this is a must.

I have for short periods, but it may not be a good idea. The heating/cooling element is on the side of the cooler. I would imagine if the ice melted enough that water got in there, it could damage it. Maybe if you did ice in milk jugs or something.

No I do not believe it would hold ice without leaking. I usually use freezer packs to keep the contents cold.

I usually put ice in it. It is not insulated, so it won't keep them cold for a long time.

I have only used a cold pack with this cooler, so I'm not sure how ice would fare. I think if the ice were placed in a resealable baggie, then placed in the backpack, it would not leak.

No, the tray does not leak at all. I know because I have it on an antique ice chest and there are no water stains!

No, mine haven't leaked, and I use them often.They will "sweat" after they've thawed - this usually happens if I don't unpack the cooler at the end of the day, and leave them in the cooler overnight. I will wipe them with a cloth before I put them back in the freezer.Hope this helps - I love these cooler packs.

There is a soft shell I insulated lining in the bottom like any other soft side cooler. I used both ice and freezer packs and there was no leaking. I like using freezer packs best since it not only gives more room it ensures no water leakage.

No, I doubt that it will EVER leak. It appears to be quite solidly constructed. The plastic-type material seems very thick to me. I've never seen a Cold Pack that was so well made. My only problem with it - is that it doesn't keep cold very long (as I use it to keep my computer cool). This Cold Pack should be ideal for what it was made for - which is to 'ice down muscles, etc. for injuries'.

This bag's lining is plastic. The normal condensation from cold items and ice packs has never leaked. I have never used loose ice in it, but I suspect that meltwater would eventually leak through the stitching--but why would one use loose ice?

Yes. My advice is to only fill it with ice about half way. As the ice melts the food started to float. So we had to drain it and I realized that next time I wouldnt use as much ice. I really loved it. Worth the money and the food stayed really cold for several hours.

About 10% of mine leak around the metal prong. But it was a really slow drip, so it wasn't enough water loss for me to worry about. Besides, it helped the girls quickly figure out this new drinking system. I put a large pot lid under it to catch the drips. In the summer time they like to stand in that water to cool off. I love this drip system, but learned this winter that I have to disconnect and drain when it gets cold. It froze ans shot the little nipples out across their run!
