Customers say

Customers like the quality, performance, and value of the ice chest. For example, they say it's well built, keeps ice for many days, and is worth the price. Customers are also impresseded with the performance and latch. One downside is the weight, with some complaining about it being extremely bulky and heavy when full. Opinions are mixed on size.

Coolest Cooler Ever!!

Coolest Cooler Ever!!
This is my first Pelican product! I’m a traveling tower technician that is in and out of hotels constantly.. Having grew tired of fast food and paying for $20-40 delivery food, as well was $2.50 for a soda - I made the cost conscientious choice to purchase a cooler and keep it stocked with frozen food and drinks.In the pictures the 30qt is stocked with the following: 6 sodas, 4 energy drinks, 4 big containers of soup (* the ones you find in the grocery store deli area *), 5 frozen dinners, 2 burritos, and 6 packs of breakfast sausage sandwiches...Here’s the best part - it’s being cooled with 2 Pelican 5lb Ice Packs... Which I highly recommend not only for their superior longevity over traditional ice, but for keeping your meals from getting soggy or full of ice water.. These ice packs were only able to get 60% frozen but that’s only because of the cheap hotel freezer I was using, I anticipate getting at least 2.5-3 days of 30-40 degree temperatures out of it with how often I open and close the cooler with the quantity of food and drinks I have in there. During 2 days I maintained a temperature of 30 degreesWeight: This is a heavy cooler, especially when loaded full.. I haven’t weighed it but I would say it feels like 40-50lbs when loaded.Leaks: No leaks like others have reported.Space: you can fit quite a bit in this cooler even slightly past the fill line due to the concave lid.Ice retention: when the cooler and contents re properly prechilled expect 3.5-4 days. You can extend this with ice packs that have a freezing point of 28 degrees or less. The pelican ice packs I’m using not only fit well but work surprising well.. I’ve pulled the packs out with ice froze to them after being in there for a day.

5.0 out of 5 stars It keeps food frozen if prepared properly for at least 10 days
Reviewed in Canada on October 2, 2019
We used this cooler for a two week trip to a very remote back country lake, only accessible by Jet boat. We vacuum packed all of our dinner meals into flat packages, froze them good and lined them up in the cooler. We also pre-froze the cooler with containers of ice. We did not use any ice in the cooler for the trip. Everything stayed completely frozen for eight days, then slowly started to thaw. We open the cooler once or twice a day briefly. The cooler stayed in a metal bear stash in the words in the shade. This was also at the end of September and the general temperature outside was about 17°. This cooler served us very well. We had to count on it to keep our food as it was a four hour trip back to any store one way. We highly recommend this cooler but also recommend keeping it in a cool and protected place from the sun
