For about an hour - the first 20 - 30 mins are very, very cold - which my back likes. I think it was a great buy - I just wish it came with a cover. You need a towel or something from all the water it makes while defrosting. Hope that helps.

Depends on how long you leave it in the freezer. I normally can get two uses out of it before it has to be refrigerated again. It's really a great ice pack.

It stays cold for about 4 hours. I used it for relief after achilles tendon/foot surgery and it was so helpful. Would definitely recommend it.

I use it mainly for my knees after exercising, so 20-30 minutes is the range I use it in.It stays plenty cold for my relief in that time span.Love the size, covers my knees with no problem.

it stays cold indefinitely running a couple hours and of course it's not as cold but you can still use it pretty long for comfort

It depends on where you keep it. I keep mine in my puppies kennel and it takes maybe thirty minutes for it to feel cold again after sleeping on it all night

It stays hot for about an hour to 2 in cold condiitions, I work outside. But it stays warm for several hours.

It's VERY cold the first 4 hours. Then cold the next 4. Only fair cool on the last four hours. It did work great for our baby bottles. I kept it out of the sun. 12 hours is a really long time! It wasn't cold at 12, but it didn't spoil our stuff either. We loved ours!!!

Not sure how long it will stay cold by itself since I normally use a freezer pack with my lunch. With the freezer pack my lunch stays very cold for at least 6 hours.

It depends upon the outside temperature and the temperature of the water when you add the ice. The manufacturer says 18 hours and I have had it last that long in my air conditioned home. I have had it last 24+ hours in the fridge. But, in warmer settings, 6 -12 hours is more realistic. To maximize the time, start with a cool bottle (running cold water into it or even keeping it in the fridge). Then, use ice plus COLD water from the fridge (otherwise the warm water will melt the ice before the outside air gets a chance). Then, try to minimize time in direct sunlight. Using a room temperature bottle, plus cold water and only about 4 ice cubes, my bottle keeps at least some ice for the entire 10+ hours of my commute plus workday (desk work).

Similar weather to where I am. It will get cool in about 2 hrs. If the drinks are cold going into unit they will lose some coolness within first hour then be maintained at that temperature until around 2 hrs when they start to really cool down. Long trips or short stops will keep it all KOOL

It varies. On a normal 70-90 degree day, kept out, it usually lasts 6-8 hours or more. The ice cubes will have melted some. Even when they have all melted, the water is still cool. In a hot car, an hour or two, but I live where the temps can rise considerably, so a lot will depend on where you live and the time of year. Also, make sure to fill thermos with cool to cold water. Warm water will start to melt the ice right away.

I believe 4-nice and big,well made,cold only lasts for approx. 10 minutes though. Check out the Donjoy Ice system.

Yes! Absolutely. I would say you have coldness for about 6-8 hours. But this is a mini cooler and not very large. I would order this in the next size up unless you are using it for snacks or a preschooler.

Varies. One example: about 97 degrees, water fresh out of the store fridge, stayed cold about 20 min, still cool just over an hour later, still refreshing enough 1.5 hrs later, and then I ran out and refilled. But - that's one of the reasons I bought me a small one like this one!

It stays pretty cold. If you are worried at all, I would put in one or two small ice packs just for extra chilling.

yes. If you hear swishing around in there, it's not cold enough. Leave it in the freezer for at least 24 hrs. It takes a while.

It stays cold long enough for a session (30 min ??). It is my favorite wrap because not to heavy and can walk with it. There are others that stay cold longer. But I am happy with it

I'd say it stays cool just as long as my igloo cooler. I usually freeze some small water bottles to keep in the cooler when it's not plugged in.

My son uses this product after pitching. It stays cold for at least 45 minutes. He only ices down for 30 minutes at a time, but the cubes are normally still frozen when he takes it off.

Yes! Stays cold for hours! It is stiff & hard until it thaws some, so be sure to freeze it flat
