This was a great cooler. The only thing that sucks is that the radio part is not waterproof!! That would have made this thing even better! So I would suggest buying one of those waterproof bags from Academy for the radio part if you are floating a river. And FYI regular ziplock bags do not work!!

We purchased this product to take to the beach, listen to music and have the cooler and have one less thing to carry. The cooler is ok, however, we could not get the number of cans in it as adveritsed. But the biggest disappointment is the radio. It does not pick up well and the station numbers and the dial does not come close to matching. For example, station 94.5 came well after the 96 on the dial. I would not recommend this product and it is certainly not worth the price we paid for it.

I purchased this radio after my friend got many years of use from his. This "model" is slightly smaller and features an over the shoulder type carry strap instead of the back pack style that was previously used. The cooler features a zip out washable lining which is great. Downside of this item is the quality of the radio. Upon delivery I plugged an MP3 player into radio to give it a test run and the entire plug port broke off and fell inside the radio leaving even the AM FM function useless,(mind you I have owned it for 3 minutes at this point) Hoping I received a "bad one" I returned it. Upon receiving the new one volume knob of the new one barely affects the volume level. As you turn it on the lowest volume setting is WAY too loud for beach use with a volume level that is considerate to others. All in all the cooler works well but don't buy it for the radio. For the price, kinda let down by the quality. Seller was good about the return however made me pay for return shipping and would not even return my emails in regards to them possibly paying for return shipping. Wish I had my friends, they don't make em like they used to.

The radio is great because you can take it off of the cooler and it has a handle so you can hang it up. Great for taking the cooler and radio to the drive-in. Great for taking out on a boat. I am very happy with the product.

Good size! Perfect for quick trips,ball games or to the pool. Only wish the sides were a little more sturdy.

They advertise this item as being able to hold 18 cans. When I go to the beach I add ice, water a wine bottle and sandwiches. If I did that this cooler with fit about 3 beers. It's going right back what a waste of a great idea. This is more like a lunch box.

I bought this as a picnic bag and have only used it once, but it seems to work well. I like that the radio can zip off so I could carry it on a hike even if I put the cooler back in the car.

Great little cooler, i bought it to take to the beach, city pool, and just to have around, i love it perfect size if you are looking for something to carry a small amount of snacks and drinks, but if you are needing it to carry a lot of drinks and snacks, this is not the right size for you. As for the radio, it works good enough for me, and i like the fact that you can plug in a mp3 player if you want, i also saw another website that sold this and it said you could plug in a ipod also they even had a pic of an ipod plugged into it, not sure i haven't tried it.

This cute little cooler will hold about 12 cans and not a whole lot of extra room after ice for adding food - but who needs food when you have 12 cans and tunes! Of course, the sound is kinda small and tinny, but decent enough for the beach if don't have it at high volume.
