Good cooler for a "Big Eater"
592072
I have used this cooler now for over 60 days and I feel I can write an accurate depiction for my fellow lunch packers.

Setup: I had the slightly smaller and very similar Igloo 00055912 Playmate GRIPPER Maxcold 16 Black for over 3 years but had to resign it after the second zipper gave up the ghost. I used it 4-5 days a week and it was a great lunch cooler up until that point. Hence i bought its more robust and slightly bigger brother model here.

Pro's: Durable construction and zippers, comfortable carrying handle (I don't use the shoulder strap). Large enough to hold a sizable meal full of several small tupperware containers, 12 oz beverage cans, fruit, and your ice packs. Well insulated enough to keep my lunch COLD.. not cool.. for 8 hours easy. Granted, I work inside a 71 degree office and I do pack it with very good quality cooler packs. It sits under my desk all day.

Con's: Its big... My 2 year old calls it my "dog house". If you're the type of person who puts your lunch pack in the work fridge please know you will probably not fit this beast on a typical standard size fridge shelf or at least you will make enemies in doing so. This cooler when full is heavy and the handle is your best option as the D rings for the shoulder strap are located above the zipper which strains it.

Of Note: The separating mesh between the main compartment and the upper level stretches - which is great if you need some flexibility and you want some stuff to stay up high and avoid any crush risk. Recognize though that its not a solid wall therefore it results in a much larger volume of air to cool and the mesh snags utensils and car keys.. My previous Igloo cooler referenced above had a sold wall which was better IMO.

Overall: Its a beast of a lunchbox and I enjoy mine. I have used it for a few BYOB get togethers and one long distance road trip. Fantastic large lunchbox / small cooler for the value..

Have been using this cooler as a lunch box.  Nothing crazy just enough space to put a sandwich, soda, chips, and a snack.  Plenty of room to spare with what I have going.  It has a removable hard plastic liner if someone wanted to put a cooling pack below it without touching your food.  Granted there is a fridge at my work so I don't use that feature.  The bag is tough, and I haven't broken it yet.  I'm pretty hard on lunch boxes.

This fridge has done me very well so far. It's whisper quiet, very chilly, and the ice box works great. I'm not a fan of the door layout since it's clearly meant for a 'bar fridge" with lots of cans and a  2-liter - whereas I use it for mostly for veggies, meat, eggs, and so on. I've had to slightly modify the door shelves as a result - but I couldn't find anything in this price range, this size, with a good freezer box other than this fridge. The shelving is adjustable - but the bottom "shelf" is a half-shelf so it can only go on the bottom shelf. The freezer box is too small for most ice cube trays, but "travel size" trays are easy to find on Amazon.

I got tired of dealing with separate ice packs because they leak and get condensation all over the inside of the lunchbag (or "social cooler," which these guys also sell -- yes, there is a bigger one).

I found PackIt products at HomeGoods locally, and have put into service this this size as well as the larger cooler.  While I have only pushed the larger one for about 6 hours (and it was still cold, so I suspect it would go close to 10 as advertised), this size remained cold as long as 12 hours.

There are days when I am packing lunch and dinner, and this will readily accommodate a large orange, an apple, a sandwich, and a thin container of something (soup, pasta, whatever) with room to stick a bag of carrots or some such on top.  I'm very pleased with the size, and that it folds down so it easily fits in my freezer.  Make sure you have it closed nice and tight, and it would work just fine.  It is not so big as to be this gigantic, obnoxious lunchbag, but is still roomy enough that I never worry.

I bought this to transplant a server from a tower to a rackable option.  This thing is enormous inside, great for airflow and those who would want enough room to water cool something like this.  The 3 mid mounted hot swap fans, which are actually standard 120mm fans in a custom mount, are very quiet.  The whole front is made of heavy gauge aluminum and feels solid, though time will tell.  I presently have all my drives, save one, in hot swap racks.  The card keepers seem a bit on the light duty side, but I guess they do not need to be rock solid.

I am impressed by the foresight by the engineers of the case.  The mounting ears have horizontally ovaled holes on them, so if one needs to take the handles off of it, and make the ears mount closer together, one can still mount it in a standard rack.  This was my case since I needed to be able to close a locking door.

I like the fact it can basically hold any standardized motherboard in existence sans BTX and the similar, BUT, and this is why I gave it 4 stars, the motherboard tray is not removable in the common sense of the phrase.  Yes, it can be removed, but one cannot remount it with a motherboard actually installed on it properly.  It is held in by 4 screws and 4 tabs that slide into slots.  Once the board is installed, one cannot mount the screws to secure it.  I guess if you really want to, you can rely on the PCI cards to secure it from sliding out of the locked position, because with the tabs on the tray, it will not fall out, only slide to its removable position.  Also, the motherboard tray does not have a cutout on the back to mount a rear retention bracket for CPU coolers if they should need them.

The PSU mount point is very deep, and able to accommodate many types of PSUs.

Overall, I am satisfied, and I will buy this again for my other servers.

Its the best cooler I've ever purchased.  I ordered it as a lunchbox, but its too huge for that.  It'll be great for picnics instead

Great Cooler for small on the go trips and good for small lunches for work.

Really like this cooler, both its size and how well it keeps ice and food cold.  Great for the price

Happy as can be with this Coleman cooler.  I like to have a little cooler near me on road trips.  The soft-side lunchboxes hold practically nothing, and this one is much bigger but has about the same footprint.  It has a carry strap and a zipper pocket, and it is substantial and good quality.  It comes with a hardside plastic liner that can be used inside the cooler or for other purposes or just stashed if you need a soft-side cooler that day.  I got the olive green color and it matches the Yeti olive green pieces.  This was a terrific deal and just what I wanted.

Use this everyday for my lunch/dinner. I am able to fit a lot of stuff in this little cooler. Also will fit 9 beer cans!

I think that for the price, it's a really good cooler.. I've had it for almost 2 years and it has been great... only once had a problem with it because it was extremely dirty, when disassembling and when I washed it, the fan stopped working... I looked for a way to change the fan but this is a very specific fan mechanism made for this fan only...

After some cleaning the fan started to work again which made my day...

Pro: Good looking, not expensive, good for small overclocking.

Cons: Ridiculously big (if you have a small case it won't fit), Very heavy, hard to set up because of the dissipator...

Normally my CPU keeps a 40C to 50C temp... I've an i7 3820 which is a high GHz Processor for having 3.60 as default.... But other than that, I think this is perfect for almost all CPUs

I love this. MY husband actually bought it for his work lunch box...of course it was way too huge. Inoted of returning it, I immediately took it over for a family cooler....baseball games, family outings, etc. It keeps items cold for a long time. I put some ice packs in it and they were still frozen after a long day. Glad my husband made the "mistake" of buying it!

The cooler works really well.  Downside it is a little noisy.

The only reason I did not rate this cooler 5 stars is I don't know whether it's dual-wall, using air (or vacuum) to insulate, or is just solid foam. I would think that given the drain feature that it is not hermetically sealed. Why does it need a drain/purge hole if nothing is supposed to leak

What I like best is the 'rubber' lid latches. You have to pull them a bit to get them hooked onto the knob on the bottom, so they exert a bit of tension to keep the lid closed. No chance of it accidentally popping open. I hope these rubber things don't get hard and brittle when they get old. I suppose I could strap the lid closed if the latches fail.

I haven't figured out yet how to remove the feet to turn them around to non-slip. No instructions came with the cooler.? My smaller coolers don't have drainage, I turn them over to empty them.

This cooler is heavy, but I can carry it by myself when it's empty. It's definitely a two-person carry job when full. That makes taking it in/out of the car a task. On the other hand, it's sturdy so you can sit on it or use it as a table.

It's great for keeping frozen foods from defrosting on the way home from the food market especially if stop-offs are along the way.

I have had difficulty finding a good cooler for my 17" laptop. It is a gaming computer and it needs good constant air supplied. I use it allot being that I am disabled and cannot get out as often as I would like. I have gone through many cooling stands so far this one is doing good and holding up. I believe it is the addition of the large middle fan, aided by the four small ones. It is a little noisy.

Nice Rugged Cooler bag!
I love most things about this cooler except that the zippers stall or get caught on the main, top zipper.  I've taken to not unzipping the cooler all of the way so that the zippers don't get caught up on the curves of the top, back edge.  I love all of the compartments, the rubbery zipper pulls to grip, the strap to carry it on your shoulder along with the handle too.  The inside has a hard, plastic liner to make the bag sturdy and reliable.  I wish that this plastic liner was removable to wash, like another bag I have.  This can definitely be used by a guy and the teens really seem to like the look of this cooler.  It is large enough to take to the beach for drinks and lunch or could be used for lunches for a big eater.  It is nice and light and looks just like the pictures.

Not to bad of a cooler. Seems to be sturdy built. Missing a dry compartment to be a  good lunch box, so more like a day cooler. Would buy it again!
