I like to put ice directly in the cooler but most will leak this way...how about this one?

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.

We've never used ice only Blue Ice. It is easy to freeze between uses and lasts a long time. Also as we take our backpack on the plane when traveling for snacks and sandwiches, Blue Ice is accepted by TSA whereas ice is not.

l haven't used mine yet. But my brother-in-laws didn't seem to be leaking at the beach last year. He liked it so much he bought his son one for x-mas.

I have not tried this but I have had containers spill inside the back pack and it did not leak out.

Never tried, haven't had any leaks so far. This is the best ice chest that I have ever owned in a soft pack. Keep ice for a very long time.

There is a plastic tube that connects to the bottom of the cooler & trails out the back of the storage part. A plug inside the cooler is opened to allow water out. Although this cooler does not do as great a job as a standard cooler, I do really like mine. I have no problem adding ice to it daily to keep the items inside cool. It holds 2 cases of canned drinks & 1/2 case of water bottles. We keep ours on our pool deck & have been very happy with it.

I have no problem with my cooler. I put cold drinks that are already cold in the cooler and keeps them cold, but it takes longer if the drinks are room temperature.

We line our cooler with it and add ice inside. We use it while boating in 100+° weather and it keeps our things cold all day.

Yes, however, you should keep the ice contained as to not damage the fan. I like to freeze water bottles.

I agree with jsto's comments....I never thought to put ice in their with the water. I'll will try that. I bought that unit for my enclosed patio because I didn't want to have a hole in my patio for draining.

I put mine in the fridge every day at work and have never had an issue. I also put ice in mine and have yet to incur any problems as a result.

The only way that you are going to have a leak is if you do something to the unit like modding it. All in one units are stringently tested to make sure they will not leak, otherwise they wouldn't be placing this item on the market. Like most coolants used this is more than likely distilled water which has zero conductivity. I hope this answers your questions.

If there is no gutter that would be fine, but if there is a gutter I would put it in the gutter also or your gutter may fill up with ice.

the instructions say you can put ice in the top bin, just lift the lid. or there is a put-out-shoot on the right side for water and ice. but since i haven't used ice or water yet i don't know for sure.

I have filled mine with a mixture of water, salt, and rubbing alcohol. This way the water can't freeze all of the way and the ice is flexible. After use, I just put it back in the freezer for the next use. The freezing process doesn't seem to hurt the liner of the bag, because it has not leaked at all.

I'm guessing loose ice would be a bad idea since it doesn't seem to be waterproof. Ice in a bag works.

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

I make it inside. Just put in sink. Less messy as ice melts and water runs off.

I've had no leakage problems. There is a plastic liner on the inside, so as long as the cooler isn't turned upside down...it should never leak.
