Good ice chest
Water comes out the top too easily. Wish it had a rim sealer.

Meh
Doesn't keep ice for 5 days as stated. Temps were only in 50's and 60's.

Hello. Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Coleman Classic Series 70-Quart Hard Cooler. We understand it can be frustrating when ice didn’t last as long as expected, especially when temperatures were in the 50s and 60s. To help extend ice retention, we recommend pre-chilling the cooler with ice or cold water before adding your items. Using a larger ratio of ice to drinks or food, keeping the cooler in a shaded or cool area, and minimizing the number of times it’s opened can also help maintain colder temperatures longer. Layering items so that beverages or food are surrounded by ice can improve overall cooling performance as well. Your feedback is valuable and will be shared with our product team for further review as we continue to improve our products. If you have any more feedback, please reach out to us via our Contact Us form on our website. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time. Thank you! Coleman® Consumer Care

Great exaggeration!
We bought this cooler because Coleman has been around for yrs and the description said it would hold ice up to 5 days in 90 degrees. Not true! We have the cooler in our kitchen where the temp stays at 73 degrees and it will keep ice for only 2 days. Great exaggeration!
1 reply from Customer Care team - 8 months ago
Hello. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Coleman Classic Series 70-Quart Hard Cooler. We are sorry to hear that the performance did not meet your expectations and that the ice retention fell short of what was advertised. The "up to 5 days" claim is based on testing under specific controlled conditions, including the use of block ice, minimal lid openings, and outdoor temperatures of around 90 degrees Fahrenheit. In real-world use, factors such as the type of ice used (cubed vs. block), frequency of lid openings, and even pre-chilling the cooler and contents can significantly affect ice retention. That said, we understand how disappointing it can be when a product does not perform as anticipated, especially from a brand you have trusted for many years. We truly value your feedback and will share it with our product team, as consumer insights help us continue to improve. If you have any more feedback, please reach out to us via our Contact Us form on our website. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time. Thank you! Coleman® Consumer Care

A basic ice box
In Arizona Summer you can expect overnight ice retention only... at best. Coastal California 3 days isn't uncommon with little melt off. The drain valve is a little high so you may be turning it upside down to complete the task.

Cooler doesn't appear new
Received this item and it appears to be used and repackaged as new. Unhappy but didn’t have time to get a new one so was unable to return as I needed to use it. Still works fine just doesn’t look new at all.

Held up surprisingly well against a hungry bear
We purchased this cooler for camping trips and it was the perfect size for us. The cooler was great and kept everything cold and even kept the ice frozen for the whole weekend. On our last night of camping (just 2 days after purchasing the cooler), a bear stole the cooler. The cooler held up surprisingly well against the hungry bear! But unfortunately, we had to retire the cooler early due to the damage from the bear. All in all, pleased with the cooler’s size and durability! We will definitely continue purchasing Coleman coolers.

Durable and it works!
Little on the heavy side but I like it because it’s super sturdy. Often doubles as an extra seat. I’ve kept drinks in here for entire weekends without issue. Keeps them cool. Can’t complain!

Great Product with Longevity
Got this cooler for a Christmas present and it was well-received for sure! It is a replacement for my parents' Coleman cooler they have had for about 15 years. Their first held up well, so we have high expectations for this new one as well!

Coleman not what it used to be
Terrible cooler. The lid flops open and starts tearing the screws out before getting any use out of it. Coleman dropped the ball on these “marine” coolers. Transported it to the Bahamas and gave away to a resident. Lid is also barely capable of holding an adult. Ridiculous.

Ice HOG
This cooler was purchased because of the ice retention for camping. Sales display and literature said 5 day ice retention. Specs say 3 day ice retention. I am having to reload ice on a daily basis. This cooler was even kept in the shade and it still eats ice. I would not recommend this cooler.

Made in the USA!
Our first camping trip this spring for 5 days. The label says 6 days. Temps were high in low 70's, lows in the 40's. And we came home with ice. Great job. I froze about 15 pounds of meat in ziplocks, and placed in plastic cereal boxed shaped containers. and put two gallons of frozen ice jugs. With about 24 cans and condiments. We came home with a golf ball sized ice cube in the gallon jugs, and cold meat! One more gallon of ice and it would have made 6 days, no doubt. This is the best way to not have a cooler full of melted ice and your food swimming???

Broken Handle, no replacements
This cooler keeps ice really well, for that I would give 5 stars. I have used it camping and trips to the lake. it kept ice as long as my friends Orca.. The problem is, one of the handles got broken, and I cannot find a replacement for it. Because it is a broken handle, it stays at home and can really only be used around the house, because I cant carry it anywhere.

Not practical for extreme heat.
The label says the ice chest will stay cold for up to 6 days. In Central Texas it last about 8 hours until the ice is totally melted. This was a huge waste of money.
1 reply from Outdoor & Recreation team - 3 years ago
Hello! Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the cooler only lasts around 8 hours before the ice melts completely, despite the fact that the ice chest is supposed to stay cold for up to 6 days. We take pride in providing quality products. We will look into this more and take steps to prevent it from happening again. Your feedback is instrumental in helping us improve our services and products. For further questions or inquiries, you may also visit our contact us web form.

Great at first
Worked great the couple times we used it last summer. Put it away for the winter with nothing on top of it and the lid completely warped. Cooler is not junk and won’t shut! Very disappointed. Complete waste of money!
