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!

Q: How the heck do I get the lid to fit? It just sits unevenly with open space all around.
submitted by Chanter - 3 months ago
A: The first time you insert the lid it fits very tight. You have to push downward on it a bit. Once you have done that once, the lid is easier to insert. It needs to fit tight to stay in place.
submitted bySteve in Chicago - 21 days agoA: Hello, apologies for the inconvenience with your cooler. The lid is designed to pressure fit and make firm contact. If this is still within Targets return window, please return the cooler. If not, please reach out to us directly via support@igloocoolers.zendesk.com and we will be happy to assist.

Q: How many days will this cooler last with ice in it?
submitted by Ali - 5 years ago
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!
submitted byBrian Termunde - 5 years agoA: Hi Ali - thanks for the question! The Igloo Recool 16 Quart Cooler will keep ice frozen for up to 12 hours & hold water up to 5 days without leaking. This is a great environmentally friendly alternative to a foam cooler that is made out of compostable & biodegradable materials! Hope this helps to answer your question!

Q: Is this cooler reusable? Or is it for one time use only?
submitted by cooler mom - 5 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 - 4 years agoA: 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: What is the unpleasan odor from cooler after a couple uses?
submitted by Kk - 6 months ago
A: Hello, this is likely due to moisture buildup. Make sure to thoroughly rinse out all cleaning agents and completely dry the cooler before you store or use it. If the odor persists, try wiping down the inside of the cooler with vanilla extract and then leave a vanilla-extract-soaked paper towel inside the cooler overnight. Remove the paper towel and wipe the cooler clean before using. Igloo Customer Service Team.

Q: Can I use ice packs in this, instead of ice? Will it keep items frozen?
submitted by JD - 3 years 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!
submitted byProductExpert - 3 years agoBrand expert
Q: Can this cooler be used to keep food hot, such as crawfish
submitted by ladydutchman - 4 years ago

Q: Would this keep ice-cream frozen?
submitted by Khadiza - 5 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 performance! Really kept things cool.
I bought this on a 3-week car trip on the East Coast It worked great! Much better than a styrofoam cooler - and cheaper too! This cooler performed well throughout the trip We passed it off to friends in Maryland at the end of the trip before we flew home to Los Angeles. What a find! No deterioration despite 3 weeks of use,

Terrible "cooler" allows ive to melt quickly
All of the ice melted quickly. Nothing stayed cool at all. The only good thing that I can say is that it didn’t leak

On the road....
Moving in couple months, so haven't put these to the test. I love the concept since being a recycler from long ago! They are ingenious, and no styro noise! I know they'll be great - maybe more size options?

Large gaps around lid, kept nothing cool
We desperately need an alternative to styrofoam coolers but this isn't it. Ice completely melted within two hours on a 70-degree day in the shade. The lid doesn't fit at all. Absolutely pointless. We might as well have dumped the ice on the ground and stuck our drinks in it for all the good this "cooler" did.

Don't
Lid doesn’t fit at all and just sits on top with a lot of space all around the edges. As effective as putting food on ice.

Igloo recool?
The lid doesn't fit. Don't think it will keep anything much cooler than not having it at all. If the lid fit, maybe it would work.

Nice styrofoam alternative!
I was so happy to find a short term cooler that wasn’t styrofoam, and this worked for us for a week in West Texas. No leaks at all, a good size, lightweight and easy to carry. We dumped the ice every night and let the cooler dry out before refilling in the morning (food in a fridge overnight.) Would definitely buy again.

Great value for the money!
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!

This worked great. No problem at all with it holding up. Used it during the hurricane last year, and it still is holding up.

Faulty Product - Lid is too small
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.

Awesome and Biodegradeable
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.
