About Engel 19qt Leak-Proof, Air Tight, Drybox Cooler and Small Hard Shell Lunchbox
Overall Feedback:
92% positive
88% appreciated its rugged and durable design, though 12% experienced issues with leakage
The plastic parts of the cooler are well-made and do not break easily.
I faced only one problem with the cooler, the buckle for the strap broke.
I expected better construction and thicker insulation, but the cooler had plastic hinges. My expectation was not met.
I found the product to be made of thin cheap plastic with cheap hinges and clamping hardware, and not very durable.

84% liked the spacious capacity, but 16% found it too small
The 19 quart cooler is a perfect size for two people for a day.
I usually pack one ice pack in the summer along with 34fl Fiji waters, 16floz energy drinks, snacks, sandwiches or whatever I am bringing that day. All beverages are kept standing under the tray where I put the ice pack.
I compared the cooling capacity of Igloo and Engel coolers and found that the bottles in Engel fully thawed before the bottles in Igloo.
87% liked how easy it was to clean, but 13% found it difficult
It is easy to clean the cooler as the outer and inner parts are easy to wipe down.
The cooler is leakproof and keeps my lunch cold for the day with ice packs, staying cool for about 24 hours.
I like the fact that the lid has a gasket and positive latches, which keeps stuff out and in.
We should keep everything in something water tight to avoid any issues.

87% praised for its leak-resistant performance, but 13% experienced leakage issues
The cooler is leakproof and has not leaked yet.
I like that the lid has a gasket and positive latches, which keeps stuff out and in.
I am confident that there is no water leakage and everything is well protected.
The cap sealing my cooler is not tight and water seeps in between the walls.

86% found it easy to carry and maneuver, while 14% found it too heavy
I am able to pack plenty of food for my 16 to 18 hour shifts in the spacious cooler.
This cooler can also be used as a dry box.
When the cooler is full, it weighs a decent bit and makes it a bit heavy if I have to carry it very far. However, it is not too bulky, which helps to compensate for the weight.
81% praised for its exceptional performance, while 19% experienced temperature fluctuations
I have found that the cooler performs well in hot weather, but it is only suitable for overnight cooling.
I read that this cooler has amazing ice retention. I expected the ice to be almost un-melted after an hour drive at 68, but there was enough water to fill a glass. My experience with this cooler includes specific information like temperature retention.
I am disappointed with the cooler's ability to retain ice, which may not be worth the size convenience I had in mind.
I was unable to retain the blue ice in the cooler even after using multiple large and small frozen blue ice packs and placing it out of the sun.
