Coleman 50Qt Xtreme Wheeled Cooler Hard Shell Passive Cooler - Blue/White

I purchased this product through Amazon and read the reviews a lot in deciding which coolbox to buy and how to use it.Having just returned from a 4 night camping trip I thought I would add my own comments to help others.First of all pre cool the box, I froze 2 bottle of water and put in 2 days before which did the trick really well, I placed 2 cans of coke in there and they were as cold as the ones in my fridge after a day! This got the temperature of the box down nicely and I was surprised that the bottles still had ice in them when I took them out.Now the box is big and yes the walls are thick making its capacity not quite seem as big as it should be but this is surely what makes it work so well.For keeping items cool during my trip I used 2 x ice boards 400g by camping gaz 2 x 200g ice blocks by camping gaz and 2 small ice blocks (used previously in a coolbag that I had in my fridge) yes they take up room but if you get the right sized blocks it makes it a bit easier (the 400g camping gaz fit perfectly). Finally I pre chilled everything and even froze a pint of milk for added coolness in there.Over the trip the box has worked unbelievably well, the blocks hung on well with some even being slightly frozen on day 3, whilst I've been away I was lucky and had nice weather too!! - despite the thaw in the blocks the items in the box have remained 100% cool and items such as milk have remained as fresh as in a fridge, basically the thickness of the walls retains the temperature and ensure box carries on working, when I've returned the items remaining are all as should be.The only down side (and this is really picky) is that any new items purchased while away didn't cool down as quickly as before (beer basically!)thankfully coop had a fridge section where these could be bought prechilled!A great coolbox, and I would highly recommend - I do have to say that Amazon's courier (YODEL) were horrific - non delivery on days prescribed and basically they lie to you but overall an essential camping purchase.N.B. It does seem for that extra edge of performance ice is the way forward and I will try this next time - though this may not fit well with my OCD style of packing the box up!!!

Used this for the first time this weekend on a camping trip. We used two Thermos Freeze Boards (800g), packed it full of food and then tipped in a bag of crushed ice. Now it wasn't the hottest Bank Holiday weekend ever but I packed this on Friday morning and by the time we got home on Monday afternoon there was still ice in there and everything that was still in there was fridge-cold. You need to remember to drain water out of it each day if you're using crushed ice and to put anything that isn't sealed into a water tight container or bag but apart from this it was great. It is quite large and the capacity inside isn't massive but that is because its extremely well insulated. We had considered buying powered cool box but based on this one weekend I won't bother. On longer trips if you get the freeze boards re frozen (most campsites offer this service) and top up now and then with a bag of ice this would easily last a week or longer. Very pleased with it :). The 800g freeze boards also fit it very well on their side and take up a minimum of space. By the way it also doubles up as a seat as its very sturdy!

We used this for the very first time very recently. I pre-chilled the cool box for a couple of days beforehand with 2 litre bottles of frozen water, then packed with food and drink before topping off with two bags of ice that you can buy from the supermarket for a pound. This was on the Thursday. We went to a festival and it was really hot at times, with the coolbox remaining in the boot of the car where it was even hotter - temperatures of 25C during the day and even hotter in the car.Three days later, about 30% of the ice remained and I am convinced that ice would have remained after five days. The food in there was in perfect condition, very cool, with no evidence of spoilage. No other coolbox or coolbag that I've tried ever comes close to this in terms of performance.The box is large, without a doubt, and the walls are thick so the capacity isn't as big as you would expect. Yet despite this, we had enough food for three days and it fitted into the back of our small Skoda Fabia hatchback along with our tent and all the other stuff we needed. The drain worked really well and kept our food from swimming in melted ice.I recommend this box wholeheartedly. You won't be disappointed.

Dom skickade en ny hel på en gång. Så nu är jag jätte nöjd.handtaget låg inte i kartongen eller i boxen, så man måste ju ha sett att handtaget saknades när man lade boxen i kartongen.

Large! Sturdy and keeps ice for multiple days.

Enfría muy ,muy bien y es muy grande!!!

Great cooler - large, sturdy and keeps ice for a long time. We recently lost a fridge and had to keep our food in here for a few weeks while we fixed the fridge.This kept all our food perfect and we only had to use one bag of ice per day.Only nuance is that you have to purposefully shut the lid or it won’t seal, but I think this is by design so that when it does shut, it seals air right.I personally like that it doesn’t have wheels, I find that those get flimsy on larger models (due to more weight in the cooler?)Very pleased with this purchase. This is a great camping cooler.

Muy en la línea de la marca Coleman. Muy amplia y caben botellas de 2L en vertical. Buen mantenimiento del frío durante todo el día siendo necesario cambiar el hielo cada 24h (en pleno verano). Las ruedas son un plus ya que al llenar la nevera pesa bastante y de esta manera el transporte es mucho más cómodo
