I bought this cooler about 2 to 3 years ago and had been very satisfied with its ability to keep ice for several days. Last year I experienced what was probably a design hiccup and notified the manufacturer promptly.  In a few days time the manufacturer reached out to me, identified and  resolved the issue.   I’m expecting a brand new unit shortly to continue enjoying indefinitely! This company stands behind their workmanship and product! I would definitely recommend this cooler to any outdoor enthusiast.
