Here are some interesting facts about the background of Igloo coolers to show why they’re one of the best brands to choose from today. One of Igloo’s most attractive coolers, the stainless steel stands out from the plastic we are used to seeing. It also helps (or at least doesn’t hurt too badly) the ice life. But this aesthetically pleasing cooler does come at a much higher asking price and also suffers from some very weak latches.
Sure you can buy one that costs double and may keep ice a day longer but it probably weighs double this cooler too. I packed it with enough food and beverages for 4 men and 20 lbs of ice. It was easy enough for two men to carry, performed well, and cleans up easily. Kept everything cold for a long day on the water in 90-degree FL heat.
The next step up would be the Lifetime High Performance Cooler, which I found on sale at Walmart for $97. It’s worth a look if the MaxCold is too plain for your tastes. It’s nothing fancy, and it won’t hold cold temperatures as long as Yeti or Orca will, but it’ll get you awfully close for just a fraction of the price. That makes it my top value pick in the cooler category, and an excellent choice if you just want something dependable that won’t break the bank.
There’s an Igloo cooler for every budget and need, so check out the brand’s selection today. Sega and Igloo said that the Sonic the Hedgehog Little Playmate cooler is just the beginning for their collaboration. Make it happen using this Lagunitas cooler made with Igloo! Nope, the cans aren’t included with a purchase of this cooler.
We do wish that Igloo would improve the hinges and also add some more color choices to the mix, though. The ice life, for the price, is not bad at all and we like the mobility of it. The handle is a bit on the weak side and the aesthetics are sort of bland but for those on a tight budget and after something basic, this can work.
It’s even possible to find Igloo coolers that convert from backpacks to wheeled coolers as needed to help you cross any type of terrain. Igloo’s hard-shell coolers are their best-known products. Many people today still use Igloo ice chests manufactured decades ago because they can last that long igloo cooler with wheels with care. This Gripper is a bit larger than some of the other Grippers that Igloo offers and the added storage space are most welcome. And it is still sized in a way that makes it easy to store. Combine that with solid construction and a reasonable asking price, and you have a true contender.
