3.0 out of 5 stars Coleman 48 Quart Chest Cooler Review, August 8, 2009

I am always looking for coolers with excellent build quality and that can maintain ice for longer periods of time. I recently got into "5 day" and "6 day" coolers. Now that I tested a couple, I have a basis for comparison in regards to performance to the "traditional" coolers. This is a review of the Coleman 48 Quart Chest Cooler.

When packing coolers, pre-chilled drinks and cubed ice are used. I do not use blocks of ice, which do maintain much longer than cubed ice. I had this cooler for about seven years. This cooler kept its contents ice cold for approximately 24 hours. This is disappointing considering the extra trips to purchase more ice when using the cooler for more than a day.

However, within the seven-year period of ownership, the cooler has maintained itself very well. Nothing has broke on this cooler, there are no leaks from the drainage spout, and the cooler does not appear to be degrading. The bottom line is that the build quality, with the exception of the lack of insulation, appears to be very good.

Overall, the Coleman 48 Quart Chest Cooler has good build quality but significantly underperforms today's "5 day" coolers on the market. The Igloo MaxCold 40 Quart Wheeled Cooler and Coleman Ultimate Xtreme 50 Quart Wheeled Cooler easily outperformed this cooler in their respective tests, keeping ice for an average of 72 hours. This cooler is rated a 3.0 out of 5.0 due to its significant underperformance in maintaining its contents ice cold.

I have had this cooler for years and love it. It is sturdy and the fold-out handles are great (they are not just molded part of the cooler). The spout on the side is nice for draining water that once was ice. It is plenty big too, a couple cases of cans plus food on top make it easy to pack for a whole weekend.

The cooler arrived in a very short time. Very helpful for my crew. I paid half the price for it and it looked brand new. It'll be ready for next summer looking like new. Very durable. Very well pleased. Thanks.
