Titan Hard Ice Chest Cooler Roto Cooler with Microban Protection and Deep Freeze Insulation

I spent a stupid amount of time choosing a cooler. I watched review after review and couldn't make a decision. I almost bit the bullet and bought a Yeti, but sense took over and I waited until Prime Day. While I was waiting, I filled in with a soft sided cooler from Titan. It worked well enough to last a two day, one night camping trip. So, I bought a hard sided from the same company.I was a bit wary when my cooler arrived in a cardboard box with no protection. Then I remembered that the cooler is certified bear-proof. It was perfectly fine.The cooler is very well made. It feels Yeti-like in terms of weight and construction. Of course, there are some compromises. The molding seams are not quite as smoothly finished, and the rubber closures don't click open and closed the way you get with a Yeti.But, other than that. I'm really glad I got what I needed for a third of the price. My only gripe -- the drain plug doesn't have a chain or strap to prevent it getting lost. And you know that is inevitable when you are in a hurry to pickup.Would buy again.

I just had to post a review on this cooler. I was a little skeptical for spending this much money on a cooler, especially reading some reviews that stated it didn't keep cold enough and ice melted. But I took the plunge, to try it anyway.We were heading out for a weekend camping trip, the day the cooler was delivered...literally opened box, packed cooler and loaded it about 20 minutes before we left. Although was a little bummed to find that there was no basket that was delivered with it, so I messaged the seller, a new basket was shipped and delivered in less than a week....fabulous customer service!!I watched the video included in post and made sure to have frozen water bottles to place in the bottom of the cooler when loading. We stopped on our way out of town to pick up some bags of ice to load into cooler, to fill in the gaps between food and drinks. Everything stayed iced and chilled the entire 4 day weekend. So much so, it even stayed ice cold when we got home and it took me a few days to finally unload the cooler....since it appeared to stay cold, I was in no rush to unload. I finally got around to unloading cooler today....everything was still EXTREMELY cold....some of the water bottles that I originally placed in it, still had ice in them. It was perfect to keep cooler chilled with the frozen bottles because even as some started to thaw on trip, we had ice cold water to be able to drink throughout the camping trip. So 7 days after loading and filling cooler, everything was still ice cold when finally emptied!! I have never had a cooler stay THAT chilled for more than a few days....and this one did for 7 days!! I totally credit it by the instructions in the video to place Frozen water bottles at the bottom. I truly didn't expect it to keep everything so cold for 7 days, since I didn't give the cooler time to pre-chill with the Frozen water bottles, before loading....but this cooler still completely exceeded my expectations!!!! Absolutely a fantastic cooler and product!! And the great customer service I received in getting a missing basket so quickly, even enhanced my experience that much more!!

It has worked well for the past 18 months or so I've had it. But after a recent refrigerator malfunction (and a couple of power outages), I realized I needed to see which coolers I own that can use DRY ICE to salvage frozen items if necessary. I know few use this anymore and many younger folks probably never heard of doing so, but yes, it is available and could save you $$$$ should the previous occur to you. THIS BRAND for all its features IS NOT DRY ICE compatible (called the manufacturer and also asked them to add that info to the description). Those that I know ARE compatible include Yeti, ROVR, Landworks, the old Coleman coolers, and some others--be sure to research ahead of time. Still, I like this Titan for standard ice uses and will keep it.

Perfect size 20 quart cooler, finish and weight is perfect, great latches and carrying handle… very nice overall for the money.
