Igloo 5 Gallon Portable Sports Cooler Water Beverage Dispenser with Flat Seat Lid, Bright Orange

I would have given these a 5 star but there is a bit of leakage through the spout when they are full. (Havent found a portable cooler that doesnt) We are using them for collecting sap and every drop counts so couldnt give a 5 star, but they are still GREAT!

First, the bad. The lid is tethered to the cooler which is great to keep it from being lost, but a real pin when trying to wash the cooler out. Since I like that the tether prevents the lid from walking off with a mini me, I deal with it flipping around as I try to wash it in the sink. Now for the good, or should I say great. I’m not sure how well this will do with keeping ice from a bag you get at the grocery store or gas station, but the ice we put in lasted a freaking week! Okay, so there are a few factors that helped it along, but boy howdy was I surprised. One of the factors was kind of cheating in a way. While this was a camping trip, that only accounted for half the time, the last few days were in our house where I left it just to see how long the ice would last. The largest contribution to the longevity of our ice was preparing solid blocks, at least in my opinion. We took Tupperware containers that would fit inside the cooler and froze drinking water in them. After putting a few of those ice bricks in, we filled it with water and loaded up. Lenny of ice cold water on supply for our few days camping as well as the rest of the week when we got home. Obviously results may vary, but man, if you try the solid bricks of frozen drinking water like I did, I doubt you will be disappointed in this cooler.

Gave as gift to son who lives in country. Handle is great and holds more than enough water for outdoor wash up. A screw lid would had been better; but, I have No complaints about workmanship. Good color too. He was very happy with it.
