We tested 12 popular coolers to find the best ones that have excellent cold retention, are easy to use, and are durable.
For this test, I started with 10 pounds of ice in each cooler, along with 12 cans of sparkling water that were at 62°F . Every hour, I opened a can in each cooler and tested the temperature. After three hours, the cans in every cooler were at 32-33°F—the thermometer read in whole degrees, so they were virtually equal. After that third hour, the temperatures remained stable until I ran out of cans to test, or nine more hours.
The Igloo Legacy was the only one that sustained actual damage, with one side of the front handle breaking when it was dropped on its front; it also popped open upon impact. The Coleman Steel Belted has the same type of handle and latch, so perhaps it was just luck that it survived and the Igloo didn’t; however, it also popped open when it was dropped on its front.
While most of the coolers did well in the drop test as far as damage was concerned, it was surprising to discover that some of them popped open. That would be very inconvenient if they were filled with food, drinks, and ice. So those that sustained damage went down to the bottom. On the other hand, while the Coleman Portable with Wheels was easy to move around, it was very difficult to open. It doesn’t have any latches, so it relies on a snug lid fit. Unfortunately I couldn’t find a good way to grip the top and body to open the lid. Eventually, I left a screwdriver next to the cooler so I could open it without a struggle.
