If you are cutting up apples, tomatoes, cheese, or cucumbers this is a great and very portable cooler that works for everyone. It comes with a bamboo cutting board which is super helpful when you go to the park, and you can use it to prep your food. The cooler fits great on the floor in the back seat of your suburban or truck or you can place it in the front passenger seat.
That makes it my top value pick in the cooler category, and an excellent choice if you just want something dependable that won’t break the bank. Igloo’s old design, the Gripper needs a facelift both in terms of performance and looks. What it does have going for it is being extremely mobile and being assembled with high-quality components.
If you are looking for super great ice retention you need to be looking at their IMX and BMX cooler lines. Some can be a little easier to move like the Igloo rolling ice chest cooler or the portable ice chest cooler. These are also larger and can igloo cooler with wheels hold more food so the rolling feature is great but if you need to lift them fully you might need help. Many people often argue that ice is cheap why buy an expensive cooler. At one point we thought this also until we purchased a good cooler.
They have small coolers that will hold around 12-quart size or smaller or you will find coolers that are around 165-quart coolers. The IMX is going to be a little igloo cooler with wheels more heavy-duty than your BMX coolers but both are high-quality products. These are great because they keep your cooler from spilling if it tips over.
Many injection-molded designs also allow for various mounting locations for accessories like tables, cup holders, and cutting boards—something you don’t typically get with rotomolding. By measuring meltwater, we can produce data that illustrates the relative performance of insulation between coolers over time. For example, after five days, the Coleman Xtreme retained 11 more pounds of ice than the Igloo MaxCold did. That translates to the Coleman Xtreme being 20% more efficient than the Igloo MaxCold overall in ice retention during the same time period. We also started tracking the internal temperature of the coolers with the ThermoWorks Signals thermometer to see exactly when temperatures began to rise. We’ve tested Polar Bear coolers for seven years now, buying them or receiving test units from Polar Bear.
