Igloo Coolers Maxcold Series, Insulated Portable Cooler, Hard Coolers, Leak-Proof Ice Chest, 5 Day Ice Retention

This Igloo is a poolside MVP! It keeps drinks ice-cold for hours—even under the blazing sun. I loaded it up in the morning, and by the afternoon, everything was still chill (literally). It’s sturdy, easy to carry, and just does its job without any fuss. Whether it’s a beach day, pool party, or just lounging in the backyard, this cooler shows up and stays cool. Total game changer for hot days!

This cooler surprisingly fits a lot. I bought this for my boyfriend and he loves it. He’s the type who always has a cooler full in the back of his truck. The wheels make it much easier to take with us to the beach, tailgate, etc.

Worked for what I needed size and space

Heavy duty- holds the cold really well

Handle broken when received it and box was damaged

For comparison, I uploaded pictures of an Igloo "Maxcold Island Breeze" cooler that I bought many years ago and pictures of this Igloo "Maxcold Latitude" cooler for sale here.What's really mind-blowing about comparing these coolers is that the Island Breeze cooler is physically much larger on the outside, but actually has less interior volume! It's a 50 quart cooler, whereas this Latitude cooler holds 62 quarts.When I compare the two coolers to figure out how the Latitude is smaller on the outside but bigger on the inside, there are only a few obvious differences. First, the walls of the Latitude are thinner. Nonetheless, both coolers claim to keep their contents cold for 5 days, so perhaps insulation technology has just gotten better? Second, the Island Breeze cooler has a larger (wider, sturdier) telescoping handle vs. the smaller and slightly less sturdy telescoping handle on the Latitude.Just looking at these two coolers side-by-side, you would probably conclude that the Latitude is a "better" cooler because it takes up less space in your car, but holds more stuff on the inside.However, that depends on how much emphasis you put on the long term durability of a cooler. Igloo coolers have never been on par with super expensive alternatives like YETI, but they're also not priced as high. The Latitude seems like an affordable way to get significant storage for people who only use their cooler a couple times per year. I know many people only get 1-3 weekends of camping during the year, and for those people, the Latitude is probably a great value.From a practical perspective, it just depends on how long that telescoping handle can last. If you're only wheeling it on flat surfaces and in relatively straight lines, then maybe it will be good for years and years. If you're prone to be rough on your coolers, then maybe not. It just comes down to whether you want to pay extra for tougher, more durable build quality.

Great cooler
