After being outside for 6 days there were still a few ice chunks in there and everything was cold. Worked better than expected!

I purchased the 60oz Igloo maxcold for car camping, and after a couple of trips, the handle ripped off. Came right out of the side of the cooler. I recently had the latch brake on me, which I can repair, but be warned, the handles just do not hold up. It does a good job of keeping things cool, and with the wheels is easy to move around, but the handles, which are key to being able to move any cooler have much to be desired.

This cooler has only been used maybe a dozen times, but just this weekend the second handle came right off the outside casing. The first handle came off about 2 or 3 months after we bought it. Needless to say, I won't be buying another Igloo any time soon.

I have had this product for a littler over a year and it has completely fallen apart. The hinges broke and the inside plastic strap that supported the lid broke, thus the lid has fallen off; and most recently the wheels came off. We were not rough on this cooler, although it did get used every couple of weeks for Costco trips (since I live about an hour from the store). Needless to say, I will not be buying this again, and I won't be buying an Igloo cooler unless there are some major quality improvements. The hinges on my last Igloo cooler (different model) also broke.

I had a party about 2 months ago and 4 friends lent me different coolers and this cooler was the only one that kept ice in it for the next whole day.

Igloo's customer service is terrible. I received a cooler as a gift, so I didn't have a receipt. When I had a problem with it, they gave me the run around for 8 months, directing me here and then directing me there only to be told in the end they wouldn't help me because I didn't have a receipt. I will NEVER purchase one of their products after this experience. A customer's experience is the BEST form of advertisement and endorsement a company has. It was obvious that Igloo didn't care about my experience or my future business.

The handles fell off on first use, which isn't surprising when you see how poorly they're designed. The handles are screwed to the shell material with two, 3/4" #10 screws, with no other support. When lifting, the handle strikes the shell, creating leverage to pull the poorly anchored screws loose, exacerbating the problem. My cooler had approximately 30 lbs of total weight inside when the handles came off, and that's only half the cooler's "81 can" weight capacity. It went back to Target.

The only advantage I noted of the Igloo cooler line over the Coleman line is that many of the Igloos have a true latch on the lid. Otherwise, Coleman coolers are better constructed, and I returned my Igloo for a 75 Qt Wheeled Xtreme® 5 Cooler (Model No. 3000000732) and I've been happy with it. You might find it at your local W store for a very good price. There's also a Coleman 62 Quart Wheeled Xtreme® 5 Cooler (Model No. 6262A748) that's very similar to the lowly Igloo, but with much better handles.

What a disappointment! I've had the cooler for about 6 months now, and it does an impressive job of keeping ice frozen, but the thing is falling apart. On the first use of the cooler the screws for one of the handles stripped out. I repaired this by going to the hardware store and purchasing drywall anchors, and they have been holding well. I replaced all four screws knowing the others would fail in short order. The plastic strap that stops the lid from overextending frequently gets caught under the lid when closing the cooler, preventing a tight seal. This repeated crimping of the strap has now led to it breaking on my last trip. When I returned home, I forgot about the broken strap when I raised the lid. This resulted in the lid overextending, and both hinges promptly broke. I suggest you find another brand.

Got this from a local store for about $50. Used it for parties to keep drinks cold. While it does a good job of insulating, both hinges and the lid latch are already broken in less than one year. For $50, I expect better quality. See my photos for examples. I would not recommend this cooler.

I bought this cooler as a bridal shower gift. My goal was to have the largest gift at the party. I won! It was, of course, shipped to me in a box - I just wrapped it (using 3 rolls of wrapping paper!). I can't rate the quality of the product as I never used it.
