Description

Igloo's new RECOOL cooler was created to provide an alternative to environmentally harmful foam coolers. Made entirely from biodegradable materials, RECOOL can biodegrade and return to the Earth after use, rather than polluting our environment or filling a landfill. RECOOL is durable and won't chip or scratch easily or make annoying squeaking noises like foam coolers. RECOOL has a 16 quart capacity which is big enough to fit plenty of drinks, ice, and food for an all-day adventure for a family of four. Cup holders and an easy-grab handle are built into the lid and the cooler features molded handles on the sides, making it easy to grab and go. RECOOL is patent pending and made right here in the USA!

  • A: Not days, only hours! I loaded mine full of ice at 2pm and by 9pm it was mostly water . . . cold water yes, but water nevertheless. I do NOT recommend! I had to have a cooler and purchased this one . . . MISTAKE!

Q: Is this cooler reusable? Or is it for one time use only?

submitted by cooler mom - 2 years ago
  • A: I reused mine for at least 6 months. I keep it in my truck for grocery store runs when I may not go straight home.

    submitted byTinkerbell - 2 years ago
  • A: Hi cooler mom - great question! The Igloo Recool 16 Quart Cooler is reusable. You just need to empty the ice/water out of the cooler & let it air dry after use. Thanks for stopping by to check out this great, environmentally friendly cooler!

Q: Can I use ice packs in this, instead of ice? Will it keep items frozen?

submitted by JD - 1 year ago
  • A: Hi JD, thanks for your question regarding the Igloo Recool 16qt Cooler. Ice blocks can be used to keep things cold instead of ice, and you won't have the melted ice mess. But there's a lot of variables at play in determining whether frozen items will stay frozen (whether using ice or ice blocks) - like how many times the lid is opened, outside temperature conditions, etc. Hope this helps to answer your question!

Q: Would this keep ice-cream frozen?

submitted by Khadiza - 3 years ago
  • A: Hi Khadiza - thanks for the question! The Igloo Recool 16qt Cooler was designed to be the first biodegradable and compostable cooler. The intended use is to keep things cold, not necessarily frozen, so it’s not recommended to keep ice cream frozen. Hope this helps to answer your question!

Great value for the money! We needed to purchase something disposable to use in the car on our yellowstone vacation and this was perfect! We expected it to leak so we put ice in a plastic bag. Well the bag leaked but the cooler didn’t. Ice mostly melted by the end of each day but everything stayed cool, so it did the job for us. We used it for 5 days and it was still like new. Some other reviews said the lid was too small but ours fit nice and tight. This is not a cooler for a hot weekend out in the sun, but for a day trip in the car: 5 stars!

The lid doesn't begin to fit the cooler. It is too small. Therefore, there are huge gaps all along the top and nothing stays frozen.

This little cooler is extraordinary! I used it for a beach trip today and dumped ice in it for over 9 hours and most of my ice is still there! The material doesn’t get soggy or leak and it is sturdy!! I also like the fact that it’s reusable and recyclable. Get it if you’ve been on the fence.

Disappointed - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
Picked up for vacation and it was surprisingly very effective. I needed something small, but knew I wouldn’t be able to pack it to come home. It made me feel a lot better tossing it with knowing it was biodegradable.

Mom of baby Z - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
I couldn’t find a cooler I liked in time and picked this up with very low expectations. Unsure about how it would hold up structurally, I lined with a clear 1.5 mil drum liner/trash bag before filling with half of a small bag of ice, 6 cans and two containers of fruit, veggies and cheese. By the time I went to empty the cooler 9 hours later, the ice had mostly melted but everything was ice cold after a day at the beach. This thing surprised me with how well it insulated. It’s also very light to carry and has a small footprint in your trunk. I would definitely use this again if needed.

I wasnt sure what to expect with this cooler but we were headed up north and needed something to keep our food cold on the long drive. I've only used icepacks in this cooler, never ice so I cant speak to water just sitting in it but I cannot believe how well this cooler holds up. I've used it like 7 times since and even in a hot car it does 4 hours no problem. Love it!

This didn’t keep anything frozen. Everything was defrosted and melty after just three or four hours. Very disappointing.

We provide snacks for our delivery drivers year round and this cooler helps keep the drinks nice and cold. Every night I empty of out the water, leave it out to dry and in the morning we refill it again with ice. This size is also large enough to hold lots of drinks.

Bought this and filled with pop and bottled water and a bag of ice. Left it in the back of my overnight and the next morning the bottom had soaked thru and soaked the carpet in my Jeep Cherokee. If you want a cooler that is biodegradable and will turn to earth while still in your vehicle this is the cooler for you. I guess if you filled it with ice and then put the chest in a deep freezer it’d keep ice for 12 hours. In the back of a vehicle it had melted in an hour. Worthless
