K2 CoolersSummit 20 Cooler

I decided on the K2 due to price and reviews. I have not been disappointed. On my first use the soda and bottled water that I put in it were room temp and I used ice from my freezer (not much) vs a 10lb bag. At the end of a 10 hr day, the ice was melted but the remaining drinks were were ice cold. The K2 was in the back seat of my truck in 90+ degree Texas heat. I left the drinks and cold water in the K2 overnight and added few drinks and more ice the next morning. I repeated this process throughout the week. By Friday morning I still had ice cubes when I opened it up that morning to add a few drinks and more ice. The bottom line is... if you put chilled items in and the cooler is already cold, you will have the best results. Basically, you get out what you put in. I love my K2, and I would recommend it to anyone. I am writing this after 10pm on a Sunday, and I iced down drinks 2 days ago on Friday morning with very little ice. The ice is melted, but the drinks are ice cold. If you can get an Igloo or Coleman to do that you are a magician. Don't believe the negative reviews, save the money on buying the competition and buy this cooler.

Transportation electrician, outdoor work. Looking for something to keep my lunch and drinks cool and also need a seat while eating. Works great. Ultra robust and sturdy. Built to last. In SoCal and the blue ice is still solid when I get home, albeit “winter” now. A bit bulky, heavy, a tad too much capacity for a daily lunch cooler. I’ll take that inconvenience for a great seat. Weight and bulkiness needed for the strength and good thermodynamic properties. Height is good, but wish K2 would reduce the length and width to reduce capacity. Soft strap awesome vs a rigid handle.

The unit keeps things cool enough, but with no handles on it, it is rather difficult to lift and carry places. The shoulder strap options is nice, but sometimes you just want to be able to pick it up with handles. In addition we were hoping to place this cooler in the floorboard of the back seat of our SUV for a cross country trip, and it was WAY too wide for that. But it kept things cool in the back and there was still ice in it 24hrs after we put it in. That's pretty nice!

I love my little K2 cooler. I was looking for a 20qt class cooler with latches. There really isn't much on the market other than the rotomolded type cooler. This cooler beat the Yeti pricing by a substantial amount and I really like that it has a shoulder strap. I have a bad lower back and the padded shoulder strap makes it much easier for me to "scoop up" my cooler on my shoulder and move it as opposed to a handle that would be pulling me to one side or carried in front it would really be working my lower back.As for performance: This cooler is on par with the best of the best. I placed a frozen 2 liter bottle in the cooler one night before bed (yes, a 2 liter fits standing up), the next morning I had to slide a butter knife under the seal to break the suction! The cooler was sealed completely. I have learned to keep the cooler in the shade, the Duck Boat Green exterior warms considerably. Ice retention seems to be excellent. This item has no drain plug and this is the only fault that I can find with it.

I have a 64 quart yeti but I’ve been using this little guy more than I thought. Does a good job holding ice and it will fit 5 gallons of ice.

I would take this k2 cooler over yeti any day because yeti is over priced plastic brick that does its job but for 3xs the cost. This k2 is a brick too but 1/3 of cost. Has lasted all day in the sun in my car middle of summer in Las Vegas when its 115F out 130F+inside the car. Winter it could last all week no prob.Great padded carry strap better then a solid handle because this is a brick but no more than anything else.If only this had a drain plug because although it isnt a deal breaker it can be a pain to clean without a stretchy faucet in kitchen lol1yr later and holds ice as long as my coworkers yeti in 115F outside temp 130-135F in the car at least. but i can put 1 full bag of ice and everything i need for 2 days out in nevada desert and still have some left could probably get 3-4 days with ice packs or blocks. Granted its at least 130F in the car when i go to lunch.

The cooler itself is great. It kept ice for over 3 days, however Amazon shipped the wrong color and I ended up with the ugly green color instead of the nice gray one I ordered. Unfortunately we were going a trip where needed this cooler, and there was not enough time to return and order another one. So we used it and now I'm stuck with this ugly green cooler

LOVE this cooler! I did tons of cross comparison research online for a 20 quart cooler. There are several things that I really liked about the K2. First off, the price! Knowing I would be spending a lot of money on a cooler like this, I was happy to find that this cooler was significantly less expensive than others like it. Second, I love the strap. I've carried a similar cooler with a metal handle and when loaded to capacity, it was difficult to carry. The strap is comfy and makes carrying this cooler much easier. Third, the rubber closures are easy to open and close. My kids have no trouble getting into this cooler while on road trips as they often do to pass around cold drinks and snacks. The rubber grips on the bottom keep the cooler from sliding around as well. Fourth, I love the shape. It has a more square shape and is easy to handle. Plus, it just looks great and compact! And, finally, I love that this company is based in Louisiana and the products are made in the USA.As a family who road trips during the summer months and spend countless hours at the soccer fields, this compact cooler will get a lot of use!
