    What A Cooler Ought To Be, September 10, 2009
    By ZebraMuscle from SE Michigan

    "When I was a kid growing up on Lake Erie in the 1970's, it seemed that all the dads and grandpas had a red or green Coleman cooler. They filled their coolers with ice and sandwiches, loaded them on the boat, and headed out to fish at the crack of dawn. Later in the day they brought 'em back filled with walleye, perch - and plenty of ice leftover. No matter what was thrown at or into the old coolers, they did the job and lasted for decades, just like a true classic should.

    Now that Coleman has finally reintroduced the steel-belted cooler, I just had to have one for myself (red). It's as sturdy as the day is long, and I love the new recessed drain channel. You can stuff it, sit on it, bounce it around, whatever, and it keeps coming back for more. It will hold ice for several days at high temperatures, but much of that depends on whether you leave it to bake in the sun or not. Either way, it soundly beats the plastic coolers I have used for years (Coleman and Igloo).

    The only reason I gave 4/5 instead of 5/5 is because of the odd lid fit. While latched properly, the lid wobbles up and down a bit. I physically checked 15 of them in the store - all colors - and they were all the same. No leaks yet, so I'm assuming it was designed that way. All the latches, handles, rivets, etc. are sturdy.

    While it's not quite as heavy-duty as it's predecessor (what is?), this is still a great, classic/vintage cooler for those of us who want a work-horse cooler (and a bit of nostalgia) that we can have in the family for years and years.

    Coleman 54-qt. Steel Cooler, August 2, 2009
    By 1956Ramjet from Aiken SC

    "Excellent cooler will keep ice for three days in 90 degree weather. I keep it tied down in the back of my truck. I'm going to purchase another one for my camper. You can buy cheaper coolers, but you can't buy a better one."

    Coleman 54--qt. steel cooler, July 20, 2009
    By chshelby from Eureka, CA

    "I am not completely satisfied with the cooler. The latch does not stay closed. It says it keeps the ice longer which it does not. We live on the coast where the hotest temperature is only 70 at best and the ice melts in hours. I would not spend this money on this cooler again."

    Stainless Steel Coleman Cooler, July 10, 2009
    By HHB3 from Williamsburg, VA

    "Holds ice very well. I bought this for durability and ice retention. In just a couple of weeks the stainless steel is already showing signs of rust spots in a few places and it hasn't even been on the boat yet. So this is very disappointing."

    Top of the line cooler, June 15, 2009
    By HotDogTom from Charlottesville, Virginia

    "I operate a gourmet Hot Dog Cart. I use the cooler to keep my Hot Dog condiments chilled and fresh and at the end of the day there is always ice and fresh condiments in my Coleman Cooler, even when the temperatures are in the 90s.
    Cabela's had the lowest price on the internet to boot. Thank You Cabela's

    Happy with Cooler, April 8, 2009
    By CHS1 from KY

    "The cooler is very large. One day I added a 10 pound bag of ice and the ice from my icemaker. The cooler sat in the sun all day (approx. 60 degrees outside). The next day it was in the sun most of the day (approx. 80 degrees) and I still had ice that evening. I am very satisfied with this purchase."

    By amjhmj from missouri

    "Excellent, but the lid does not act like is is sealed completely with the latch completely closed. We sent the original back due to this and when we received the new one - it was exactly the same - would think it should seal better"

    Cooler, December 2, 2008
    By Tekell from Rosenthal, TX

    "This is a great cooler I cant wait for my husband to open his present this year for christmas and see it and adding his initals to the lid of it was great!
    The only thing I was disapointed in is that there is no way (that I can see) to put a lock on this cooler. That is something they need to add to this cooler in the furture. That would be a very good option.

    This Cooler Rocks!, November 12, 2008
    By DeerHuntinMomma from West Virginia

    "I purchased this cooler for my husband for Father's Day. It is awesome, not only does it look good, with his name on the lid, but it works wonderfully! He took it on a cross country trip and never had to restock the ice, it stayed cold for 7 days!!! Everyone we know wants one. I plan to purchase a couple more for Christmas. Well worth the money."
