Coleman 54-Quart Steel Belted Chest Cooler (Stainless Steel)

OK, I have not bought this particular coleman cooler, but I wanted to share my story of an old green steel coleman cooler that I found in our attic when we moved into our home. It looked like it had never been used, so we used it. It keeps ice for days, and works wonderfully. I am sure coleman still makes these steel coolers pretty much the same way. So rest assured you will get many, many years of use out of your new one.

I bought this cooler in 2005 and I've been so impressed with it! It's been everywhere with me. There were several times I wished it had wheels - when it's fully loaded, it's really a 2-person carry. But even without wheels, I still considered it worth every penny I paid for it. I've never had to refill ice on any of my trips - it keeps ice for many days. Just a few weeks ago we noticed the latch is loose and it doesn't get a good seal. My husband can probably fix the latch and we could get some more use out of it. But we also happened to buy a new car that has a smaller trunk, so it looks as if we'll be replacing it after all. This 54-quart cooler won't fit into the trunk opening. I was so very impressed by this Coleman product, though, I'll only consider replacing it with another (smaller) Coleman.

We bought this on Amazon about a year ago and have been very happy. We like it so much we are going to buy a second one. We have a tear drop camp trailer. The stainless matches to tear drop stainless and keeps with the retro look.

LOOKS? This is one of those coolers that people comment on and we get questions about on occasion because it is cool looking.

We go on short and sometimes extended camping trips. Last year this cooler consistently out performed our other plastic cooler. The SS Coleman with a single bag of ice keeps everything (milk, eggs, veggies, etc) cold for over a week easily. We do take precautions to keep it in the shade, but you should do that anyway.

We have found it durable, the lid closes tight, and have had no problems with the hinges, handles or anything else.

We are very satisfied with it and would recommend.

This steel belted cooler keeps drinks so cold and it happens to be nice looking. It is just like the ones we used when I was growing up.

This is the second cooler that I have given as a shower gift to new couples. The first one was given several years ago, and every time those two hold a party, I see this cooler put to good use. And it still looks brand new. The size is perfect. It holds so much stuff, and it looks attractive, no matter where you set it up.

I highly recommend this product! And the price was great, and the free shipping was an added benefit.
