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

Super fast shipping came in 2 days earlier than expected. This cooler is awesome. Great space. Seals tight. Came with stickers and a strap. The strap doesn’t stay it keeps you winding I needed to use a safety pin to keep it on but that is the only issue I have had. I love this cooler and will probably buy another one.

Really liking my cooler, fantastic space and plenty extra room as well, endless possibilities, very pleased

My husband uses this for a lunch box (a big lunch box) underground in the coal mines. In this cooler he fits 6 gatorade bottles, 1 regular sized water bottle, 4 cans of pop, lunch items, a boxy underground cellphone/pager, and a tray(it comes with the cooler) the tray fits perfectly in the top of the cooler. The latches work perfectly! We have no complaints!

EVERYDAY AFFAIR- That Box was by my side every day I left the house for work for the past 3 years. The foam seal for the Lid is still water and Air tight 100% . Never used it as a seat it a step-stool . Cracks formed around the handle on the Lid after year 2 . Last week while walking across a busy intersection in LA the plastic clip/length adjuster broke and the Box took a Hard Tumble. If I get 3 years out of my new green one I will give another positive review. Thank You Engel for not being a YETI

I purchased this cooler to keep things cold for a few hours while traveling, but I was pleasantly surprised by how long it it retained ice. I tried it for the first time on a day when the high was just over 90 degrees. I loaded it with a chilled twelve pack. Unfortunately, the ice I bought that day had just been bagged and placed in a freezer, so it was wet and melting quickly on the short ride home. There was already a significant amount of water in the ice bag when I poured the ice in the cooler, so I figured it wouldnt last more than 6 or 8 hours even though it was in the shade. However, after opening and closing the cooler throughout the afternoon as well as a few times the next morning to see if it was still cold, it still had ice in it after 17 hours. With colder ice, I have no doubt the ice would have lasted close to 24 hours. If youre thinking this will hold ice as long as a Yeti 20-quart, it wont. This is a 5.5-pound cooler vs the Yeti that weighs in at about 15 pounds. Yeti designs their cooler to do one thing; hold ice for as long as possible. The Engel 19-quart is designed to be compact, lightweight and retain ice for a reasonable amount of time -- all of which were considerations for me. So, if you need your ice to last for days, buy a heavy-duty, roto-molded model. If you need a small, lightweight, high-quality cooler for day-use, this is the cooler for you.

Perfect size, well made.

This cooler doubles as a dry box so keep that in mind. If you’re wanting to maximize insulation and ice longevity this may not be you best choice. I did a test with a similar sized Igloo brand (16qt) with this Engel (19qt). The Igloo is about half the cost. The Igloo has thicker sides and this a bit more insulation. In three different test using frozen water bottles of the same capacity, the bottles in the Engel fully thawed before the bottles in the Igloo. Same environment and temperatures with coolers side by side. It wasn’t dramatic, just the bottles in the Igloo had some ice left 1-3 hours after the bottles in the Engel were fully thawed. That was a little disappointing. Having said that, the frozen bottles in both lasted almost 36 hours and I expect the cooler filled with ice would hold longer than a couple loose frozen bottles with all the space around them. I’m going to keep the cooler because it is well made and I can use it for a dry box. I bought it for day trips in my small boat so it will work well for that. Would also be great for day trips to the beach, overnight trips, picnics etc when you don’t want to lug a large heavy cooler. But if that’s all you need and if you just want a cooler, save some money and get a much cheaper Igloo 16qt. as you gain nothing and lose something buying the Engel including twice the cost. I gave four stars for well built.
