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

I purchased 2 of these to give to apprentices. Love these boxes and would absolutely buy another if I could figure out how to wear out the one Ive been using 6-7 days a week on construction sites all over the country. Plenty of storage and keeps you food hot or cold. Im 61 240#s and have no problem sitting on this box to eat. Engel coolers are quality and I expect them to last quite a while. I just wish they made more of them in the USA. Side note, do yourself a favor and buy an extra storage tray, I use one for utensils and condiments and the other as a basic junk drawer at work, keys, wallet, phone, pens note pads and all that...

Great cooler forsure a must have if you work construction or turnarounds

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.

Perfect size, well made.

The cooler is a good size for me to pack a days worth of food and drinks into for a days work. I really was disappointed to see the sticker made in Taiwan on back .Also the front front latches are good stainless the back hinges are cheap plastic they should be stainless steel also.The exterior of the cooler seems hard plastic that I am afraid after sometime of being in the sun this plastic will positively get weak and Crack or break easily. It has a 5 year warranty but I have only used this cooler 2 actual working days and the warmer of the two days the outside of the cooler was sweating.For the price you really cant go wrong just dont expect it to compare to a 100dollar cooler because it will not.

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

I like the cooler and all the reflective stickers that it comes with. I like that it comes standard with the small bucket. But that strap is so cheap and way too small. I use mine as a cooler for one person and it fits a weekend of food. And fits perfect in my front seat bucket.p

This is great day cooler! it is perfect size to strap to the back of my 9 foot fishcat cataraft. I also keep in the captains bay on my 16 foot Cataraft for day trips to keep my beverage cool. It fits perfect in my captains bay. It also can be used as dry box / captain boxes. I will be purchasing another!

I bought the 19QT as a replacement to my lunch bag/backpack . Only owned it a few weeks, but I use it everyday and so far it’s just what I wanted. Lots of room - enough for breakfast , lunch and some snacks along with bottled drinks. I pack about the same everyday, 3 bottled drinks (16-16.9oz), 2; 3 cup containers, 2; 1.25 cup containers and a 4oz sauce container . Along with those items I carry a set of earmuffs and sunglasses container. On the tray that comes with it, I keep a charger , a ring of equipment keys, my personal wallet & keys, another wallet for work certifications, some forks, and a leather-man . As far as keeping the items cool: With about 5 hours of the cooler sitting in the south Florida sun, by noon the drinks and food are cool, but not cold. I haven’t used ice yet, but I’m sure would help significantly. Summary: Great lunch box with plenty of room and keeps items cool even while sitting in the sun.

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.
