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

Great cooler for a day out. I have found that it holds ice and keeps contents cold all day. Nice size for a day trip. I like that it has a handle on top and a shoulder strap. I haven’t had it very long, but it seems to be durable and sturdy. Very easy to clean.

I work on the railroad and coolers get beat to hell on and off trains. This cooler has been great, its the perfect size (19 qt) and shape to stuff places and fit enough food in case Im away from home for 2 or 3 days. The only down side is the hinges but those cane be replaced and I added a catch wire so the lid doest fall back too far when opening. It holds cold fairly well. Prechilled I usually get a solid 24 hours of frozen ice packs. Would buy again.

The size and appearance and ability to keep ice in perfect condition for 24 hours or more was more than I expected.

Nice lunchbox. Like the fact that there is replacement hinges and latches. Did happen to drop a drill on the lid and crack it. Overall happy with it

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 love it. I used a molle speed clip with 4 pennys stacked on each side to give more clearance away from the cooler to hang my morakniv knife and safety glasses. I used 1” gorilla tape and it holds very strong so far. I wish I could find a 4 screw cabinet pull handle or something similar to mount for the knife but the speed clip is the perfect size. Maybe I can better improvise once I get adhesive velcro. My gloves are held in place by a large light weight d clip that will not let go on it’s own. Better than a glove clip that’s manufactured possibly. Next time I may try the 30 qt but this 19 is fine for my day to day job. I expect this cooler to last at least 4 years! The interior spacing is the same as my beefier cooler that takes up more space. I only logically need a cooler for one day at a time. The no zipper coolers with a hard shell and soft body don’t last longer than 2 years and that’s pushing it pretty far. My last 30 can coolers strap has busted, a zipper that won’t work, and both bungee sides gone to shreds.

This thing is light as a feather. It’s not a bomb proof by any means but it’s a far step up from your typical cheap cooler. I don’t need a cooler that hold ice for several days I need one that was light and sensible but had some longevity. The tray is a nice touch and just what I needed.

Very durable. It keep my items cold. Light weight easy to carry. If I would buy another one I would get a bigger one. I use for fishing and my paddle board

I took this jewl to Gatlinburg TN with me. Put a little ice in it, some drinks and snacks. It fit perfectly in my Ram behind and between the driver and passenger seats. Did the same going home. I left the ice in it this time just to see how long the ice would last. Its been over 30 hours and it still has a lot of ice in it. It is a very strong and lightweight cooler. Very easy to clean, very easy to open and lock. It stays sealed keeping the cold in and the hot air out. I also love the little tray that came with it, it is handy and can be used for lots of purposes. I even used it to catch ice out of the ice machine in the lodge lobby to fill the cooler up. This is an excellent cooler. The hinges and locks are super tough and sturdy. They do not stick out so something can catch on them.

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.
