Sports reviews of Coleman 62-Quart Xtreme Wheeled Cooler (Blue)Customer Review: Best value for your money Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Everyone out there is trying to look for the best cooler for their money. I believe we have a winner. I went camping this past 4th of July from Friday through Monday and have some useful information that might help some of you decide what type of cooler you need. We had my 2 Coleman 62qt Xtremes, an Igloo 60qt Maxcold cube, a 150qt Igloo Marine, a smaller 100qt Igloo Marine, and some other misc. regular Igloo and Coleman type coolers. Let me just add that I did purchase the new 50qt Igloo Maxcold days before camp, but relinquished and exchanged it for my 2nd Coleman Xtreme (glad I did). Anyway, let's get to the meat of the issue...
Let me just say that the basic coolers were left outside and only lasted about 1-1/2 days with ice before turning to water. To my surprise, the 60qt Maxcold cube which was also left outside turned to water by Sunday morning. Let me just add that the drinks in this cooler were not previously chilled etc etc. Both the larger Marine coolers were under some kind of shade but by Monday was just filled with cold water, and this was after adding another bag of ice mid-way. Now for the Xtremes...drum roll... Both my Xtremes items were prechilled or frozen so please take that into account. One cooler only contained beverages(beer, soda, Capri Sun, and water). The other only contained food such as frozen chicken, frozen potstickers, and some veggies. The food cooler was kept outdoors but in the shade most of the time and was only openned during Sunday lunch for meal prep. The beverage cooler was a little more exposed and was open and closed repeatedly throughout the camping trip. As for it's cooler abilites...both were filled with about 20lbs of ice each, although the food cooler did have a frozen 2 liter soda bottle for added incentive. Neither was filled with any additional ice throughout the trip. As for the beverage cooler, on Monday morning while packing everything up, there was still about a 1/8 of the ice still floating around. As for the food cooler...on Sunday, I had to litterally grab a hammer and chip out the food from the ice. The chicken encased in the ice was practically still frozen and needed to be thawed. On Monday during pack up, there was virtually little water as most of the ice was still there. Infact, I left in there all the way till Wednesday and still had to throw the ice away because I wanted to pack everything away. My impression is that if you needed to keep ice for long periods of time, prechill or freeze your items, keep the cooler in some sort of shade away from direct sunlight, and if posible open it very rarely. In my opinion, be like me and have 2 around for food and drinks. FYI, I believe that these models are being discontinued as I see newer versions popping up in the retail stores with no signs of these (I have a feeling the newer luggage shaped versions aren't as good, but I haven't tested those out yet). You either need to buy them from Amazon or pick one up from Kamrt who has a few left. I would highly recommend these over any other competitively priced cooler in the market.

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.
