Sports reviews of Coleman 100-Quart Xtreme Wheeled Cooler (Blue)Customer Review: After 4 Years, Still Works Great Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I purchased this cooler in December 2006. I have used it mostly for large family events. There are usually beverages left over, so I keep the cooler outside on the deck for about a week afterward until the beverages are gone. I have read some reviews which indicate that the cooler does not keep ice as long as advertised. I have left this cooler outside, often in direct sunlight, in the low 80s to low 90s for as long as a week. It consistently keeps ice for 5 days. Of course, much of the ice is melted, but there's still a large amount which is not melted. Even at 7 days, the beverages are still cold. The length of time it will keep ice obviously depends upon how often the lid is opened. Also, I have found that it is necessary to push the lid all the way down. It may not be noticeable to someone getting in the cooler, but if the lid is not pushed all the way down, it will be slightly open.
Regarding durability, it has been fine. No breaks, cracks or splits. I also have had no problem with the cooler leaking from the drain, as one reviewer had. Another reviewer wasn't pleased with the large handle, stating that it is too large to lift the cooler high enough while walking it. As you can see from the picture, there's also a smaller handle inside the larger handle which can be used if that is a concern.
In summary, it has been a very useful and reliable cooler for me. Other than the wheels being slighty worn after nearly 4 years of use, it still looks and performs like new. I recommend it.

About Coleman More than 100 years ago, a young man with an entrepreneurial spirit and a better idea began manufacturing lanterns in Wichita, Kansas. His name was W.C. Coleman, and the company he founded would change life in America. A man plagued with such poor vision he sometimes had to ask classmates to read aloud to him, Coleman saw a brilliant light in 1900 in a drugstore window that stopped him in his tracks. He inquired about the light inside and discovered he was able to read even the small print on a medicine bottle by the illumination. The lamps had mantles, not wicks, and were fueled by gasoline under pressure instead of coal oil. Soon afterward, Coleman started a lighting service that offered a "no light, no pay" clause--a big step forward for merchants who were burned by inferior products that rarely worked--and drew substantial interest from businesses that wanted to keep their lights on after dark. In the ensuing years, Coleman expanded its product line well beyond lanterns. The company's current catalog is thick with products that make spending time outdoors a pleasure. There are coolers that keep food and drinks cold for days on end, comfortable airbeds that won't deflate during the night, a complete line of LED lights that last for years, powerful portable grills that cook with an authentic open-grill flame, and much, much more. Coleman has truly fashioned much of our outdoor camping experience, and expects to do so for generations to come.
