Coleman FlipLid 6 Personal Cooler

Work construction. Need something to protect and keep food cold. Does a great job. Just add a cold pack.

PRO:1. Great alternate fishing bait keeper. I was looking for bait keepers that cost x3 more than these.2. Got two to start, keeping minnows in one, and shrimp in the other.3. Will get more if these work well enough, will update at the end of summer.4. FLIP LID, and stays attached! I hate lids that come all the way off, or have hinges that break.CON:1. Folks who don't read the product descriptions, and realize these are tiny.2. Yeti coolers have tainted the product field, everyone thinks that's the new standard.3. Only two colors. Wish these came in maroon, green, orange, black, etc.OTHER:1. BUY if you have a need for a TINY little cooler need, like fishing bait.2. DON'T BUY if you have no need for a TINY little cooler, these are not for you.

Works like a charm. Keeps my water or items cooler when I use a ice pack.I use multiple ziplock bags to keep items sorted that go in every day. This makes it easier to repack every morning.The inside is large enough to fit 2 16 oz waters side by side. But just not long enough to fit a 1 liter bottle in the same way. Could be the brand, rarely use that size but noticed the other day.I ordered a strap to sling it over my shoulder so I won't have to carry it in my hands when going to and from the car.Strap is for a scooter; it cost more than the lunch box :( But makes it so much easier to travel with free hands now.I can fit a flexible ice pack in bottom, 16 oz water, 8 oz nutrition drink, sandwich, apple sauce, 2 nutrition bars, extra snacks like protein cookie &/or mixed nuts, baggie with 2 small medicine bottles, baggie with plastic utensils & napkins.Ziplock bags are necessary because of lack of side pockets or compartments.Don't have any issue with opening the box or keeping it shut.

Awesome personal cooler! I use it most when we go skate and take road trips. Can hold 6 cans plus a little ice. I usually throw two beers and a 16 oz. water bottle in there and am still able to put a couple pounds of ice in and close the top. Doesn’t hold ice for a crazy long time, probably average, but it’s just enough for whatever your personal need is for. I’ll take a larger nicer cooler and fill it with beers, snacks, water, etc. and then take a few out and put in this one as needed. I also use it to sit on while I film. This is the only area I discovered a minute issue. The top can flip over like a tray to place your drink on, however, do to that the top is less sturdy than you would think. The normal consumer probably wouldn’t even notice this, the only reason I did is because I sit on it a lot and have dented it in. This does not affect the performance though. It holds temperature as well as it did before it was dented. And I know this isn’t intended to sit on I just thought I’d throw that in there. Overall it’s a wonderful product! I love it even more than I thought I would.

We live about an hour from the grocery store, so buying chicken breasts and stuff that is perishable can be a royal PITA. We bought this and put our meats in it, go to the gas station to fill up, and buy two large cups of ice. (Actually, we get the ice for free as we have our own cup and the attendants at this location are pretty cool.)Remove the meat, dump in a cup of ice, replace the meat, dump in the remaining ice, et voila! We have a couple of hours to get home with the meat untainted by the heat.See, we drive a Jeep Wrangler, and in the hot months we take the top and doors off. Sometimes we forget to use our sedan on nice days, or when we are out rolling through the countryside in the Jeep we realize that we need to hit the grocery store. Having this little guy in the back allows us to safely get that meat home, even without AC or even shelter from direct sunlight for that hour trip to our fridge.We also use it for sandwiches and drinks for outings in the jeep with some of those blue, reusable chem pack coolers.We like this for the shopping aspect enough that we are going to get a larger one for the trunk of our car or the back of the Jeep.Nice and super inexpensive. Very handy to have with you at times. Takes up very little space. Washes out easily.

Great cooler! I always love these hard case "old fashion" coolers. I find that food stays cold longer than those made out of some other type of material. My kid uses them at a camp, so the cooler is outside in the heat all day long and the food stays cool. I have the matching water jug, also by Coleman (but purchased elsewhere) that I put water in with 4 pieces of ice. At the end of the day, when my kid brings home the jug, the water is still cold. I mention this so that you know that Coleman makes great coolers. The cooler's inside cover can be removed and flipped over to create a little lunch table to hold drinks and a sandwich. Great for the beach. Best to use the thick ice packs v. the thin ones that are being sold. I've also used ice in a Ziplock freezer baggie. Just make sure your child understands that when it starts to melt, they need to throw out the water! I'm paranoid about food poisoning so I take extra measures. You can't go wrong with this cooler. Btw, the cooler measures: 10" W X 7 1/2" D X 7" H. I also perfectly fits a six pack can of soda (8 oz. cans) with space on top. For those of you who don't know, the ice packs should go on top of the food as the cold air travels down. I put packs on the top and bottom.
