### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent Quality But Some Minor Drawbacks
*by K***G on November 9, 2024*

I purchased this cooler to haul frozen beef across three states in 24 hours at -10degF. I had five different coolers and this one by far performed the best. The other four were from Mammoth, Igloo, and Coleman. After two days, the Lifetime had the most Dry-Ice left. The Mammoth was a close second. the Coleman and Igloo coolers were not of the same build quality and were rated as "6-day" coolers so it is no surprise that I had to add more dry-ice to them than the others. Though these appear to be a decent build and very tough, there are a few minor drawbacks with them. First, don't expect the lock holes to be of any use. One side is stainless steel but the other side, the lid, is simply the lid's plastic. A screwdriver could pop the hole. Second, and this is actually typical of all the "rotomold" coolers, they have a good amount of mass which makes them heavier and you have to pre-cool the inside. Otherwise, ice or other frozen contents will melt just to cool down the mass of plastic. Also, the rubber seal on the lid kept coming off. It is not glued in, just tucked into a groove. It was easy to re-seat every time but annoying to take the time to do so. Also, I think the extremely low temperature of the dry-ice caused it to shrink so it now no longer seals all the way around. I have not used this cooler long-term so it will be interesting to see how it holds up. These appear to be as solid as the Lifetime folding plastic portable tables which I think hold up relatively well. And the plastic did not warp with the extreme cold temperatures. Overall, I think this cooler is a good value for a cooler of this type.
