I'm a little new to all this cooler stuff,...sizing, features, type of insulation, cool time, UV issues, etc.. SO I started researching months ago for several good coolers of diff sizes. They all seemed to have their plusses & minuses. When I saw this cooler the QUALITY, FEATURES & Low Price stood out. For the price of a good 16 quart cooler I can get a big, tough cooler like this. So I did! (can always return in 30 days if I goofed up).
This is a HIGH QUALITY cooler. Extension handle is great. Squeeze the handy release tab triggers on each side of the handle & it easily extends /retracts & automatically locks into position. Nice. Heavy Duty tubing is recessed in grooves along each side of the cooler for extra strength,... actually flush with the side plus reinforced with square brackets. Solid. And since it's flush it's easy to pack tightly right up against other stuff without damage.
Great Versatility; BEST OF ALL, I was looking for a quality cooler for double duty as a cooler & as a tool chest on the back of my pick up truck. When not as a cooler, I put tools, cameras, clothing, other things I need waterproofed from rain /snow. The insulation protects stuff from heat /freezing temps. AND it fits nicely under my pick up truck bed cover with about and inch or two to spare! Very Nice. The long handle makes it ideal,...unlike any other cooler...to easily reposition or remove the cooler from under the 20 inch high bed opening. Of course with the bed top folded up it's completely open & no concern, but with this tough Igloo Glide Pro 110 qrt I have great carry capacity, easy maneuverability & maximum flexibility.
Fit & finish is high quality. Beefy nylon wheels with rubberized tread for longer life, much better traction than wheels I've seen at this break point. For example, fit /seal of the lid is right on,..., no warping, easy to open yet seals completely when shut. Since there's no extra seal gasket it's easy to wipe down from time to time. Exterior fit finish is flawless,...nothing deformed, no burs or extra manufacturing scratches anywhere. Hinges are straight & true, completely stainless steel & well anchored. Two straps at each end of the lid keeps the lid from over opening & flopping backwards too far. Nice touch.
Two lid latches are beefy plastic, secure & easy to operate. End handles sufficient for anything. The drain tube is under the handle on the side /bottom which helps protect it from bumps. The screw-on cap is the size of standard garden hose connection so I can drain it right in place.... spraying water in top while draining thru out an old hose screwed on the drain tube. Very Convenient. Thought it might be too big given some of the reviews but it wasn't. I use handy cooler dividers to lift-in /lift-out stuff. I bot 3 Igloo Insulated Shopper Cooler Tote Bags & they're also pretty inexpensive (13) but still first class. I wrote a review on the bags you can check out if interested. I usually don't use ice, just the large styrofoam brick gel cold pacs that are reusable & extremely efficient,...better that the all-gel cooler bags. Be happy to answer any questions.
BOTTOM LINE: Tremendous value (77$ bot used Amaz Warehouse & free Prime shipg). Great Quality. Exceptional Flexibility for using in a wide range of situations. Fit /finish & metal handle set up is truly first class. UV protection from the sun Made in America in Katy, Texas! At this price for this quality & USA made,... it's the deal of the year in my book.
