I finally had the opportunity to use the cooler on a 5 day trip. While it did perform better than any other cooler I own the ice lasted 4 days not the 7 days advertised. I kept the cooler in open shade and the high temperature was in the mid 80's every day. That being said I did use only one small bag of ice and the water was still very cold on the 5th days after all the ice had melted. On my next trip I will fill the cooler up with ice and I expect the ice may last the 7 - 10 days as advertised. Over all I'm very pleased with the performance but be advised unless you are an 800 pound gorilla put the cooler in your vehicle before loading it up. It is heavy empty and once it is filled you will need some help moving the cooler. I consider it a good value compared to other comparable coolers.
