IglooCoolers Maxcold Series, Insulated Portable Cooler, Hard Coolers, Leak-Proof Ice Chest, 5 Day Ice Retention

Overall it seems fairly well made, the chest itself feels solid and it rolls easily, the extendable handle does seem like it could be made just a little more heavy duty but I did not have any problem extending it and rolling the chest and closing it back up again, just don't try to use the handle to pick up the chest as it was not made for that.It is pretty roomy inside, right now we have been going thru some fairly cold weather so can't check how well it keep things cold in the heat till summer, but it does seem to be well made and should work reasonably well.I am so glad to have an ice chest that can roll instead of having to be carried.

For comparison, I uploaded pictures of an Igloo "Maxcold Island Breeze" cooler that I bought many years ago and pictures of this Igloo "Maxcold Latitude" cooler for sale here.What's really mind-blowing about comparing these coolers is that the Island Breeze cooler is physically much larger on the outside, but actually has less interior volume! It's a 50 quart cooler, whereas this Latitude cooler holds 62 quarts.When I compare the two coolers to figure out how the Latitude is smaller on the outside but bigger on the inside, there are only a few obvious differences. First, the walls of the Latitude are thinner. Nonetheless, both coolers claim to keep their contents cold for 5 days, so perhaps insulation technology has just gotten better? Second, the Island Breeze cooler has a larger (wider, sturdier) telescoping handle vs. the smaller and slightly less sturdy telescoping handle on the Latitude.Just looking at these two coolers side-by-side, you would probably conclude that the Latitude is a "better" cooler because it takes up less space in your car, but holds more stuff on the inside.However, that depends on how much emphasis you put on the long term durability of a cooler. Igloo coolers have never been on par with super expensive alternatives like YETI, but they're also not priced as high. The Latitude seems like an affordable way to get significant storage for people who only use their cooler a couple times per year. I know many people only get 1-3 weekends of camping during the year, and for those people, the Latitude is probably a great value.From a practical perspective, it just depends on how long that telescoping handle can last. If you're only wheeling it on flat surfaces and in relatively straight lines, then maybe it will be good for years and years. If you're prone to be rough on your coolers, then maybe not. It just comes down to whether you want to pay extra for tougher, more durable build quality.

Overall, I'd say it's a solid cooler for the category. It's a good reliable brand. It's not overpriced at all. It's pretty light when it's empty but when I had it full of water and ice after a few days of camping it was hard to pick up to put in my car. One great thing about it is the drain. It's a small thing, but essential for an ice cooler for me. For 4 people, this was perfect size for a weekend camping trip. I could fit a jug of milk, soda, and some other taller items with no problems. The wheels are convenient too. This would make a great beach cooler too. I've only used it in cooler months so far so I can't speak to how long the ice would last in summer, but it lasted easily for several days for me when was in the 60s in the day and 30s at night.

This cooler definitely has a nice capacity for accomodating several bottles, cans or whatever you choose to place in it for an outing. LIke most coolers, I feel if you throw some ice packs inside several hours before use, it retains the cold temperature for much longer than if you don't prep it before use. I appreciate the wheels & the handle making it easier to transport. And the wheels move effortlessly, whether on smooth surfaces or grass.

This is a large cooler and fits a ton of drinks.The cooler works well and it rolls easily.This is of very good qualityI recommend this.

This is a great cooler, it holds it's temperature well. It's nice and compact and fits perfect my Forester's backseat, but holds quite a lot for it's size. I think it's because it's slightly taller internally than it is wide.I put a small wire rack at the base so as the ice melts it keeps my food and beverages above the water line, so it's not just a drink cooler. Plus, I love how the top converts to a table around camp, the cup holders are nice and it's the perfect height with my camp chairs. The telescoping handle works well and it s nice touch. It makes it a lot easier for me to move it around camp.The one thing I am not super crazy about is the color. It's really my own fault - I didn't look at the product images closely enough before I got it. The cover is navy blue, and the body is a dark grey. I was expecting a fully dark grey cooler, and thought I was sent the wrong one until I double-checked. Again, my error, but something to pay attention to if you're as nitpicky as I am with your cooler color.

Seems to be very durable and sturdy, has wheels and a pull along handle, haven't tested out how long the ice lasts yet, seems to be a good value

Large sturdy cooler and keeps ice for days. Looks nice as well. Handle is a little bit flimsy feeling but holds up well even when full.
