I bought this cooler for my husband and I as we hunt alot and when we do we are gone foe days at a time and we needed something to keep our meat fresh and cold.  We decided to test it for a weekend at our camp and I'm disappointed. I did all the right things layered the ice between this,  I made sure what I was putting in there was either frozen or straight from the fridge. I didnt even last over night.  I woke up the next am and all the ice was melted and full of water. I even made sure no one opened it to test the longevity of the ice.
I have had better luck with the 30 dollar coolers. 
I'm all for writing positive reviews, but I spent 200 and I needed to be honest . Thanks
