I am a K9 officer and I use a cooler everyday.  I keep my K9 partner’s water in it as well as my own.   I purchase the Lifetime cooler after looking at several different brands.  I put ice in it on Monday and this is Thursday and it still has ice!   I open my cooler a dozen times a day.  I love the handle system so much more than Yeti, Ozark Trails and Pelican and was one of the main draws.     This Lifetime cooler will spend its life in a back of a police car.  It seems to be build like a tank and made in America!!!  Love it!
