Good cooler box but not one for carrying around or any distance. Excellent for back of truck or boat.. but you won't be wanting to carry it more than a couple of hundred metres..
Good Size For A Day Boozer

WCI-13. Bought to take a few tinnies with me. Will fit 12 * 440 cans with freezer boards, or 16 with room for some crushed ice. Strap not much use for over-shoulder carrying (only 790mm long) - but it is sturdy enough to use as a carry handle (it is held on with two aluminium plates, with two screws in each - easy enough task to remove these and replace with longer strap). Sturdy little cooler - you can sit / stand on it, no worries (and I'm a fatty). Wall thickness is approximately 33mm. Hopefully update regarding cooling abilities when tested !

Works Very Well

Big! No more hiding food and drink around the van, just put it all in, freezing all you can (bread, meat, milk, juice, meat, meals to eat in several day's time, even Guiness - the widget ones freeze nicely) stacked at one end, with the fridge stuff at the other end. Then just gradually move stuff across the day before it's needed. The outside of the box isn't cold to the touch, and there is no condensation on the outside which shows it's doing it's job. By the feel of it, it'll last a lifetime, so I guess it'll be the best passive cool box i'll own.

Great Cool Box, Kept Ice For 5+ Days
by Djp (27 Jun 2015)

TL;DR - great cooler, good capacity, kept ice for 5+ days, kept the melted ice water super chilled till I drained it, drain plug is very handy, handles and lid fastening system are good too!
Great Cooler! Was thinking of getting one larger cooler for my annual week long+ camping trip to Le Mans for the '24 Hours of Le Mans' as I usually took two smaller ones - one passive and one that plugs into your lighter socket and keeps stuff chilled. I looked at several coolers around this size, some cheaper, some more expensive. I ended up getting this one as there were quite a few reviews around (and peoples opinions on forums) that rated it well.
My main interest was how long it could keep ice for as this would influence what I could end up keeping in there from the local supermarket so I didn't have to make daily trips. Unlucky for me we had a hot Saturday the weekend before I set off (early Monday morning) so my local supermarket only had three 2KG bags of ice cubes when I went on the Sunday. I had intended for 5 or more to make it last longer. I also froze two Tupperware containers of water (ice blocks ended up being around 10cm x 15cm x 25cm). All this was loaded up with some supplies and fresh food for the trip with a lot of room left to spare!
Fast forward to the Sunday post race (7 days) - all of the ice was melted and in that time I added two smaller blocks of ice to the cooler (on the Tue and Fri) to top it up. The last of the original blocks probably faded away on Fri with the additional smaller blocks on Sunday, so lasted lasted about 5-6 days. I did not drain the cooler once the ice:water ratio got low as the water in there was super chilled - I was stacking 40 bottles of beer in the water (to replenish supplies) on the Saturday and my hand got so cold it went numb! The beers were kept ice cold all week! The large amounts of meat (in a Tupperware container inside the cooler) were kept chilled and fresh along with everything else.
The next day i
Excellent Ice Box, The Best On The Market.

Sick of not having enough room in the coolbox, so I bought this monster. Do check the measurements before you buy as it's MASSIVE!
I have a bit of a coolbox fetish and I've had loads. The quality of this box is the best I've had, it's really nice. No rusty hinge screws to look forward to as these are all stainless steel. Unlike the big Coleman I have, this is nice and square inside and doesn't taper. The Coleman design isn't as good, I like Coleman stuff but this box knocks spots off theirs.
We've just used the box for the first time, the trick is to cool it down BEFORE you use it! We went away for a weeks holiday and took all our own food. I had 5 bottles ( four pints) of milk frozen ready. I put one in the box on its own the night before, just to bring the temperature down inside the cooler. This milk would be the one we would use for our first day of our holiday. The next morning the milk was still pretty much frozen and the bix was nicely chilled. We loaded the rest of the food in, some of which was frozen along with our weeks supply of frozen milk. When we arrived, the inside of the box had got so cold it ruined our celery. Yes it had frozen it and it was wrecked!! It's the only time I think I've been pleased to find celery frozen and ruined. I have no doubt had we have not opened the lid so often, and taken the frozen food out to defrost, it would have stayed frozen all week.
Just remember this box keeps the cold in, it doesn't get cold on its own or perform miracles. It's absolutely brilliant at what it's supposed to do and the best out there. If it hasn't worked for you, it was packed wrong!
Was expensive, but You only get what you pay for. Holds enough food for a weeks holiday for two Adults and two children.
Just be sure it will fit in your car or camper as it really is BIG! They do other sizes which may suit your needs better.
