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

I saw other coworkers using Englel boxes for their lunch and decided to get one its the best Ive ever had in the best I can find on the internet in the 13 to 19 qt size its the only one with a small handle and integrated flexible adjustable shoulder strap that I dont have to use with its with hinges and lid latches. Most other brands of all sizes have no latche, so if you tip it the lid opens and everything falls out.

My husband was in need of a new cooler and this one is perfect. Nice color, keeps ice for the day, holds what he needs.

This is a good cooler if youre looking for a lunch box to take back and forth to work. It will keep things cold for about a day. It holds two levels of 12 standard beer cans, or a case. The handle seems pretty durable. Ive only been using it for about a month now though. It comes with a nylon strap that can be very helpful. The front metal latching system is very quick and easy to use when you want to open and close the cooler a lot. This was one of the reasons I bought it. If you are looking for a cooler about this size to keep things iced or really cold for more than a day I would go with an RTIC or YETI. The coolers with the zippers are a huge pain I have found. They do keep things very cold for very long though. I dont think this cooler is worth the $60. I would be a lot happier if it was $10-$20 less.

Theres no question that this 19qt. Engel keeps things cooler for longer than our Igloo Playmate. Thats no surprise, given that the Playmate has no insulation (its not even double walled in the lid), and no proper seal on the lid either. So the rubber seal on the lid on the Engel is a welcome plus. On the other hand, its not completely clear to me that the Engel has any insulation between its walls either (the double walls in the sides and lid can flex inward quite a bit), and it remains to be seen if the Engel will last as long (20 years, I think) as our Playmate.

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.

The quality of the actual cooler is ok but the plastic is a lil on the cheap side. Omg the strap is super thin and cheap ! Its very uncomfortable to carry on shoulder, the strap kinda look like the straps that you use to adjust on a kids school back pack! The handle on is cheap to . This isnt the worst or the best… butttttt…. The price is to darn high for this cooler.

Fits perfectly between the captains chairs in the 2nd row of my VW Atlas.

It’s nice looking and a nice size. Definitely doesn’t keep ice like a yeti. The latching features do work well.

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

It’s hard to find a lunch pail that has a tray in it to hold misc items that you don’t want in your pocket all day. This for me was one of the biggest reasons I went with this Pail, but it does a good job at keeping the contents cool also. I work 10-12 hr shifts and I still have a cold water for the ride home!
