Extreme? No.
I bought this cooler. The claim is up to five days. However, no minimum is given, so the claim means nothing. It has more insulation than a regular cooler; however, the drain area in the bottom has less insulation, and the four cupholders, with no insulation, are a weakness. With ice in the cooler, they are cold to the touch, a definite engineering error. As another reviewer said, it will keep ice for five days, but only if you keep it full, and in my opinion, do not open the cooler. The reality is that it is good for two to three days, but even less if you start with non-cooled sodas or other items or it is opened often, such as at a picnic or at the beach. It is better than a regular cooler, which in my opinion are just containers. You best bet is to put more money into more ice. Nowadays, marketing people call their entry-level products new and improved, kingsize, or supreme as a rule. This is an example of that type of marketing.

Keep's it's cool...
I purchased the Coleman 36 Quart Xtreme cooler expressly for keeping ice. I saw the claim that it kept ice for five days at 90 degrees. It's actually pretty close if you keep the cooler full of ice (which I do). I like it because it is large enough for my needs but not huge and hard to carry. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this purchase
