Not bad
Metal handle comes out of its hole you pull too much on either side. Wished it was a soild piece that was more secure. Once of the rubber feet fell off when sliding it around my leather backseat and white flakes came out and now that rubber feet won’t stay in place. Ice retention is 1 day if that but it gets the job done. I almost feel like i should’ve just bought a yeti but i feel for the cool bear logo.

Used it one time!
I have used it one time and one of the feet on the bottom of the ice chest has came off not sure how this happened but for the amount that was spent on this cooler, I feel like it didn’t last I’m definitely not satisfied with this cooler.

20Qt Ultra Tough Cooler
This is not a lite cooler. I don’t like the metal handle. It comes out of the holes when carrying it so you have to watch that it hasn’t slipped out. I would have preferred the standard rope handles. It also slips when moving the handle to the side! Otherwise, it keeps things in the cooler cold. Nice size for a 2nd cooler.

Love it!
It is the perfect size for day trips and short trips. We took it to a surf park in 103 degree weather and I still had ice at the end of the day!

Best purchase
I have always used a generic personal cooler for weekend use. The ice wouldn't last a long as id like, constantly had to refill it, but now this amazing cooler changes that completely. Very happy

Great cooler
Pleasure using this well built cooler. Absolutely hated the free cup sent as part of a promotion. It was literally junk and went strait into the trash. Probably why it came as a gift. The cooler on the other hand held ice for days.

Artic 20 Handle Pops Out
Got this cooler to take to the lake. So far both times we have used it the handle pops out on one side and won’t stay in. Afraid I’m going to be carrying it and it’s going to fall on my foot. Sent in an email to Artic to see what they say. So far pretty disappointed about this issue.

Cooler
I just wish the latches was done differently it scratches your knuckles. . a little different I’m used to yeti coolers …but the quality is definitely good love the cooler it holds ice for my work truck in my guys going in out all day …so that’s a plus I would definitely buy again actually looking at a wheeled one but I don’t see ultra tough in that style which is what I want …

Warranty
Good ice retention. Unfortunately I have sent mine back for warranty because the drain was leaking. That was two weeks ago and have not heard anything back yet.

Leaky
I purchased this cooler specifically for a work trip this weekend. Loved it until I used it. Unknown to me, the larger of the two drain plugs leaks, a lot. No amount of cleaning and re-seating the plug will stop it. It also didn't hold ice as well as I had hoped. Admittedly, we were working in hot weather (98 degrees), however, the cooler was in an open trailer, which was in a covered shop and had AC running. . . . . leaking. 😞

Daily use not recommended
Ice doesn't last like advertised. It only makes it a day and a half. Cooler is awkward to carry and not worth the money
