Lifetime 48 Quart High Performance Cooler 91209

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this cooler about a month ago. Immediately after taking it out of the box, my husband and I were impressed with the handles. We love how long they are and that the rope moves around a little bit making it easier to maneuver the cooler for one person holding it. I took it to an all day soccer event filled with our favorite beverages and some ice right before I left. I was amazed how good the seal is on this cooler. It didn't take long for the kids to want to grab a drink once we got to the fields and I was amazed at how cold they were already. We were in and out of the cooler all day. When we got home we were too tired to unload everything so the cooler got left out. A week later I decided it was time to put everything away and was amazed that their was still ice in it. What was even more shocking was realizing my kids must have been in it through out the week getting drinks because my drinks were almost all gone out of it, yet it still had ice in it and was so cold my baby couldn't hold the drink in his hands.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cooler is exactly what we were looking for. It is light weight yet durable and able to hold a lot of food and beverages. We had a great time using it for a family picnic at the local zoo. As advertised it did not have to withstand a grizzly bear, but it did have to hold up to our kids using it as an extra seat and dragging it around. I left the remaining ice to see how long it would last. Ice remained for at least 5 days before I had to drain it for our next trip.

We haven't always had great luck with coolers... we end up with a swamp of water and room temp drinks at the end of a long summer day or between our dogs, kids, and guests the construction didn't hold up. It was always hard finding a decently priced cooler within our price point that was also well constructed. We can confidently say we finally found just that! My husband is in engineering and when our cooler arrived he was surprised how well thought out all the features were and the quality of the material. I personally love the handles - it felt like they helped make it easier to carry. I haven't had the cooler long so I'm not sure how they hold up and I've never had a cooler with handles like that before but I personally really like them. I also appreciate that the cooler itself isn't very heavy so that it's more manageable when carrying. My husband loves the hidden can openers that are accessible when you open the cooler. We like that they're hidden from our toddler so she doesn't want to play with them. I think the cooler is a great size for our family camping trips or when we have family over for parties. It isn't oversized so it fits in our travel trailer's outdoor storage bay. You can fit a good amount of drinks in there and don't need a lot of ice because the ice STAYS COOL! We left the cooler outside for a few days after an event and most of the ice was still intact. We would recommend this cooler to any active outdoor families!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cooler is so amazing I don't even know where to start! The cooler had very thick, insulated walls that keep everything cold for days. My husband took it on a hunting trip and even though the temperature outside was hot everything stayed cold for at least 3 days. He made the comment that when he closes the lid it makes a vacuum seal sound which I'm sure makes it very air tight and help keep it cold. The handles are very easy to hold and make it easy to carry. The outside is built very rugged and I'm sure we will get many years of use from this great cooler. Lifetime products always builds great products and this cooler is no exception!

This cooler is amazing! It's thick insulated walls make keeping all your picnic and camping food at the perfect temperature. The rope handles are longer than the plastic handles normally on coolers making it much more comfortable to carry. The bottle opener feature that allows you to also use a padlock if needed is great too. All around a great cooler!
