Engel UC19 19qt Leak-Proof, Air Tight, Drybox Cooler and Small Hard Shell Lunchbox for Men and Women

the 19 quart cooler was a great size for 2 people for a day. We took this on a kayaking day trip. Inside i fit 4 of the small square tupperware containers, each holding a sandwich, as well as 2 soda cans, 7 bottled waters or teas, and several capri sun pouches. (I took the tray out so everything could fit) Granted, that didnt leave a ton of room for ice, but everything stayed nice a cold. Insulation: ice doesnt seem to keep long in this cooler. Ive used it twice, and both times the ice melted fast. Once the ice melts though, the water stays cold. Just make sure everything is in something water tight and youre good. Watertight/drybox: 10 out of 10. The latched stay locked, even when flipped upside down in a kayak. No extra water got in, no water got out. Ive only used it as a cooler, not as a dry box, but I have every confidence that it would keep everything well protected. Handle: gotta watch the little handle on the lid, itll pinch your fingers if you let it close on you. The shoulder strap does help with this. Carrying: When its full, it weighs a decent bit. Makes it a bit heavy if you have to carry it very far. It isnt too bulky though so that helps to compensate for the weight.

I am a Locomotive Engineer with Union Pacific RR and was always looking for a good cooler for my away from home lunches, This is the best lunch box I have ever owned. I would go though 3 or 4 nylon ones a year. This cooler has more than exceeded my expectations. We bang the hell out of them going up and down the locomotives, but this cooler takes the beating. The sealing lid is the best. I dont even put ice in it and the temperature the sodas and food go in the cooler, the same temperature they come out. I have been looking for this type of cooler for 37 years, thats how long Ive been with the railroad. This cooler should keep me going till I retire and long after that. At least 4 or 5 employees have purchased one after seeing mine. After seeing the cooler railroaders have been asking me where I got it, and I tell them AMAZON. Keep up the good work.

Its lite weight and easy to carry especially with the shoulder strap attached. I use it as a lunch box when im traveling. Holds plenty of food and beverages and keeps everything nice and cold. My only dislike is i wished i had gotten a darker color. Many of my co-workers also have the very same dry cooler and to be honest if does the same job as a Yetti but less expensive

I like the fact that the lid has a gasket and positive latches, to keep stuff out and in.(due to the fact I work in the 48217 zip code most of the time.) The outer shell seems fairly strong as I have dropped it a couple of times and it has not cracked yet. The insulation seems to be better people say. As well I’m in Michigan and thank god not Texas. So it keeps stuff cold enough for 12hr shifts. I normally pack one ice pack in the summer, 2-3)34fl Fiji waters 2)16floz energy drinks of some type (all beverages are kept standing) under the tray I put the ice pack, snacks, sandwiches or whet ever I’m bringing that day. I have been happy with it. Seems to get the job done well.

I needed a good overnight cooler to hold a few drinks, bait for fishing, snacks and this cooler performed great! Its light weight, strudy enough to hike down a small cliff area and holds the ice to the next day.

It is very sturdy and holds a lot. This is the 2nd one I bought. Love it.

Used daily as my lunchbox! Had the smaller one before but this one is perfect

This is my second Engel cooler a 30 qt and now my 19 qt. The 30 is just too big for summertime use but great in the winter ! 19qt is perfect for those hot summer days of keeping a good amount of food cold for a 12 hour shift.

3rd one Ive bought

Wish someone loved me as much as I love this cooler.
