Great cooler!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Lifetime 28 Qt Cooler has been a fantastic addition to my outdoor gear. The 5-day ice retention really delivers, keeping drinks and food cold much longer than I expected. The carry handle is comfortable and makes it easy to haul. The 28-quart size is perfect for an overnight campout or a day trip to the lake—large enough to hold everything you need without being bulky or difficult to transport. One of my favorite features is the Sunset Fusion color. My kids think it looks amazing! The vibrant colors really stand out. All my Lifetime gear, from tables to playsets to coolers, has always performed, and this 28 Qt Cooler meets the same rugged standard!

"Champion cooler to beat the heat"
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this cooler in exchange for my honest review and I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised. This cooler is awesome! I love the rubber feet so it doesn't slide around. It's insulated fabulously! I froze 16oz. Water bottles and put them in the cooler. I believe 3 of them. And I opened the cooler probably 40 times at least and the ice still lasted 2 1/2 days. It was 100 degrees all 3 days I took the cooler to work with me and I work on a tree farm so not a lot of shade. Very impressive. This is a very well made cooler that I believe will actually hold up to me for years to come. It weighs a few pounds but what do you expect for something that will withstand a live grizzly bear for over an hour? What an awesome product! I love this cooler! I will definitely be purchasing more Lifetime products!

28 qt cooler
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 28 quart cooler is great! It’s the perfect size and I like its features. The metal handle is sturdy allows one hand carry. The lid and latches are great and allows a great seal and keeps the cold in really well. We had upper 90’s temps the last trip we took and the cooler performed great keeping perishables cool and the ice lasted really well. We’ve been using re-freezeable ice packs but in the event we use actual ice it would be good to have a drain although I don’t see that on this size cooler often but maybe something to consider. Overall, the cooler works excellent!

Love the size!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’ve had this cooler for the past few weeks and it’s come with us several places. The size is perfect. Compact enough to take for our baseball games and to the pool. We mainly use it for drinks and take it to the pool. It would easily hold drinks and our lunches too. We always pre-chill it and it keeps the drinks cool all day. I also love the handle and the grips it has. I also love the orange color and get compliments about it every time we use it.

28 qt. Cooler
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We absolutely love our new 28qt Lifetime cooler! The size is absolutely perfect for short day trips or quick overnight camping stays. We recently took it on a day trip to Lava Hot Springs, and it exceeded expectations, it held ice perfectly and kept all of our drinks ice-cold for the entire trip. Its heavy-duty handle makes it incredibly easy to move around, and the new tie-dye colorway looks fantastic. Highly recommend!

God Bless America
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Lifetime cooler is a great cooler. It's also the perfect accessory for your patriotic barbecues this summer, if you're into that sort of thing (my wife is VERY into that sort of thing). It's got good size, it's extremely sturdy, and it kept ice and drinks cold over night while being sealed tight. The straps were a little tricky to get to cooperate at first, but we figured it out and are glad we did. If you don't get it for your country, get it for your wife.

Great Cooler for Trips and Everyday Use! Love this thing!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been very impressed with the Lifetime 28-Quart Patriotic Cooler. It feels durable and well-made, and the patriotic design gives it a cool and unique look. The ice retention is excellent. I used it at work and on a fishing trip, and the ice lasted much longer than expected in warm weather. Drinks stayed cold without needing constant refills. The cooler also has a very practical size. It’s compact enough to fit easily in the back of a truck or boat, but still spacious enough to hold plenty of drinks, snacks, and ice for a few days. I also appreciated how easy it was to clean after use. It’s also easy to carry while still holding plenty for day trips, camping, boating, or tailgates. The sturdy handles and secure latches held up well. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this cooler for its durability, ice retention, convenience, and great design.

28 Quart Cooler
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this cooler! I took it on a hiking picnic trip and it still had plenty of ice left when we got home. The latches are super secure, it's completely leak-proof, and the bear-resistant construction gives me total peace of mind. My favorite feature is the handle!

Extremely "Cool"!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cooler is the perfect size for our family for camping, day trips, picnics, and other outdoor adventures! The coincident holes in front allow you to slip a padlock through to protect your food and beverages. It also acts as a bottle opener which is awesome. The ice retention is amazing. Even after 2 days, it kept our drinks cold and the ice didn't melt at all. It’s engineered to retain ice for up to 5 days. We recently brought our cooler along while on an outdoor picnic and it kept our drinks perfectly cool! We couldn’t be happier with this high quality cooler and it is definitely worth it.

Love this Cooler!
We love our lifetime coolers! This cooler is super durable, keeps food cold for a long time, and you can customize the color of the cooler latches. We take this camping and it’s perfect for a weekend trip.

Excellent Side By Side Cooler
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this cooler (Lifetime 28 Wasatch Gray) specifically to go in the back of my side by side. I have a larger 55 quart and love it. This ones compact size fits easily in the bed of the side by side, the carry handle is sturdy and I love that this model has a couple of eyelets by the handle to tie it down. Prechill this cooler and beverages before your trip, and this thing will keep your drinks and food ice cold for three days on the trail in 85+ heat. Mine did. I love it.

Good looking cool
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this cooler for work and it looks good but doesn’t hold ice a full day. Yes the water stays cold but for a lot less money I could have gotten a cooler that keeps the ice better.

Keeps food cold for days and easy to tote around
We liked the 65 quart Lifetime cooler we got so much we decided to give one as a wedding gift for a family member...but we got them this 28 Quart one since they're just starting out and don't have a ton of space. This wasn't something on their registry, but they were so stoked about it. It's the kind of thing you're not necessarily thinking about, but which you'll use for decades. They live in a rural hot climate and keep it in their car for bringing home frozen and cold items from the grocery store and said that's been a revelation for them. I had never thought of doing that myself, so I now keep a Lifetime cooler in my trunk for groceries all the time.

Love This Cooler - My Take Everywhere Cooler
I own multiple Lifetime coolers and this is probably my favorite size as I am always able to take this out with me. It fits easily in my car, it isn't too heavy when full and fits plenty of stuff. Perfect cooler!

Nice Cooler!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very sturdy and seems like it will last a "Lifetime". Really great latches that are not attached to the lid when open. Lid is also easy to open with one hand after unlatching and I really like the bottle opener even though I thought I would never use it. I wish it was a little smaller and lighter and had a drain but, after having it and using it...I would buy again.

Great cooler
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this a few weeks ago and I really like it. It is heavy and durable. It keeps things cold for days. The only drawback is no drain hole. Other than that's it is great. Very heavy duty! I love the fact that you can lock it too.
