About Coleman Chiller Series 48qt Insulated Portable Cooler
Overall Feedback:
82% positive
82% appreciated its rugged and durable design, though 18% experienced issues with leakage
The product has fake build quality as it does not have the standard drain spigot on the right side as advertised and the handles are glued on.
The product could have been a 5-star product if we had used stainless steel hinges instead of plastic ones. Unfortunately, we are counting on customers to buy expensive replacement hinges when the plastic ones break.
One of the coolers had a hinge that was not attached correctly.
I feel that the cooler's build quality is not durable and it may not last more than 1 or 2 years.
81% liked the spacious capacity, but 19% found it too small
After 4 nights of camping, my ice from day #1 was only about half-melted and my beer was still ice-cold, which surprised me.
For weekend camping trips, the cooler is good, but for a week-long trip, a replacement may be necessary.
I ordered two 48 Qt Coleman ice chests as backups to my 30+ year old 100 quart ice chests that are still going strong.
84% liked how easy it was to clean, but 16% found it difficult
After 4 nights of camping, my ice from day #1 was only about half-melted and my beer was still ice-cold, which shows that the cooler is easy to clean and maintain.
I had to buy a steam cleaner to get rid of the bad smell in my car caused by water leaking from the cooler onto the floorboard.
77% praised for its leak-resistant performance, but 23% experienced leakage issues
The cooler advertised a 'leak resistant' drain as a key feature, but it does not have one.
I have complained that the cooler leaked from around the seal of the spout.
The cooler leaked from around the seal of the spout.
I found that the cooler was leaking as the bag of ice was half water by 5 PM.
81% found it easy to carry and maneuver, while 19% found it too heavy
The lid not staying open is a drawback of the product.
I compared the portability of two different coolers and noticed a difference in the number of screws and rivets used in the hinges.
77% praised for its exceptional performance
During our two-week trip, the cooler kept things cold for the 3-7 hour driving legs.
I put 4 bags of ice in the cooler last night to keep drinks cold today.
