> 3 dayAll the guys as work (construction) have these so I figured it had to be good. The box is big enough to fit a 12hr shift worth of food, but lite enough to carry the 1/4 mile walk from the parking lot to the site. I’ve only been using it for about a month but so far it seems well worth the price.

> 3 dayIm a carpenter and I work long days, this cooler is the perfect size for my lunch, drinks, snacks and whatever else I need cold throughout the day. Its great, latches are metal, the body and lid are plenty sturdy to use as a seat and it seals very well. My only downside to this cooler is its a 1 day cooler, which is fine for a lunch box, but it doesnt keep ice more than 26 hours. I am going to drill a couple holes in the lid and spray foam it up. I have does this before and it makes ok coolers great! Just make sure you silicone the holes shut or it will mold. Yes i would buy it again. and again.

Greater than one weekSolidly built but, in China. Also the strap is just a little short for me. Great as a lunch box as I carry a sealed container to hold pens, pencils, and a bunch felt markers. A time book, aspirin, tums and a phone charger. Which measures approximately 3 × 7 and 6 tall. Really like the stainless locks.

> 3 dayI 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.

06-06-2025Great lunch box. Plenty big enough for a plant worker. It holds lunch, plenty of snacks, a few extra water bottles, two huge ice packs and still has extra room. The sliding tray on top adds extra storage too. Shipping took a few extra days due to Fedex not being able to find me, idk why, but the sellers customer service worked with me swiftly and endlessly to make sure my product arrived. Would definitely recommend this cooler or this seller to anybody.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayThis is hands down one of the worst coolers I’ve ever owned. I got suckered into buying it based off of the reviews, so I’m adding my own. 1. The cooler is made with cheap materials. The plastic is flimsy and I don’t see this lasting all that long. I thought I was buying something that was going to last a long time. I feel like the handle and strap guides are going to break rather fast. Also feel like it won’t take much for the plastic body to crack. 2. I don’t know what insulation was used, but apparently it doesn’t work. The cooler is so bad that it sweats in the heat. If I leave it sitting anywhere, there will be a puddle of water underneath it. Ice lasts maybe one 8-hour day if I’m lucky. It’s so bad that I’m wondering if I have a defective unit and the maker forgot to put in any insulation in the walls at all. 3. For the price point, I’d have been far better off going to any big box store and buying an igloo or something similar. This was expensive to be a below-average cooler. The only thing I can even remotely compare it to is a playmate cooler. Those things last about the same length of time, and the lids on those have absolutely no insulation and don’t even have a moderate seal.

> 3 dayThe 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.

> 3 dayRight off the back the black looks really good outside. Came with scratches everywhere and some smudges I think could’ve happened during shipping because it just comes in a thin plastic bag inside a shipping box. No foam no bubble wrap no paper to protect in transit. I use this for work so don’t really care much for the minor stuff I put stickers on it anyway . . . The shoulder strap sucks real thin and uncomfortable recommend buying your own sling. For me 10hr day keeps my items cold I put 3 Frozen water bottles 2 Sodas And 2 Room Temp waters everything stay cold for me. The frozen bottles stay frozen enough to when I decide to drink them. Warmth not sure I usually don’t carry warm food. Overall looks good I don’t throw my lunch box around I sit it somewhere that’s where it’ll be all day so ruggedness to the user. Sturdiness is good 185lb sit on this like nothing. The tray inside does keep my keys in place even if tossed around. Overall Gets The Job Done.

Greater than one weekThis 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!
