can i add ice and it won't leak?

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

Sorry, I don't know, we haven't used ice in our bags. We use our bags for grocery store runs and use frozen food in lieu of ice.

You just want to dump ice in it? I have camping ice such as blue ice or any other container you can freeze and put inside. I don't know if it leaks because this is the kind of ice I use when I use it. I live in Texas where it is very hot. Groceries get hot and melted, wilted and so forth just comming home from the stores. I use these bags as a way to keep my food from spoiling on the way home. Great for long trips to do the same provided you put ice packs in them.

I use it with ice packs most of the time. I also used it with ice that was contained in a Ziploc freezer bag so I never had a problem with leaking.

I don't think it would, but I put ice in ziplocks, it's lined with that thermal silver material

Yes... not recommended. ... you risk ice build up in the gutter, soffit and fascia areas.... which can lead to water damage.

i use both. water alone will work, but adding ice makes a big difference. i'm very happy with the purchase.

It will not. Ice will last for hours not days in here as the unit itself is not a "freezer".

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.

FWIW, I have had a half dozen similar bags, and if ice cubes are put into them, eventually they leak... To keep them from leaking, either use "blue ice" frozen packs or put the ice cubes in ziplock bags...

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.

Yes but put ice into a zip lock bag to prevent water damage to the electrical components.

Did not have that problem but a good outdoor silicone caulk should take care of any leaks. If the unit is full and it freezes it will be likely to crack from expansion of the ice.

yes it can. I do it all the time. This way your drink does not get diluted when the ice melts.

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, it does not. You would have to let it cool down and then put ice in it (or vice versa).

You should NOT put any ice in at all! The idea of the mister is that it cools by evaporation. Though it probably won't make a major difference if you do put ice in it, you want the moisture to make the change from liquid to a gas. Theoretically, it would more easily make this change if the water was warmer. Ice would only be replacing the space you had for additional water which would cool you.

Don't fill the ice too full. That may be it, but other than that, I am unsure. Hopefully it isn't defective.

I'm not sure since I've never made one.....the issue that I had was with too much ice and frozen product. When we added some additional liquid it worked well.

You could, but of course the ice would melt and your items would get wet. I recommend the slim, flat, square ice packs. Two fit in the bottom, then you can put more in-between things. Or try the flexible ice packs, or a combination of the two types.

I use mine to fill with ice and put canned or bottled drinks. If you do that nothing can leak into them. I don't think anyone would put liquid directly into it.
