Title: It has been more then 4 years so I figure I would ask again about Coolers lol

Anything new in Coolers with you folks? Now they have coolers with built in blenders, stereos, ride on, remote control (I bet RG has one lol)


At our town Dump I found a Scotch kooler in decent shape lol.

I did buy that soft cooler I spoke about in 2016 & like it for what it does. As I use it mostly on the boat https://www.amazon.com/AO-Coolers-High-Density-Insulation-Charcoal/dp/B002YKKNWY/ref=sr_1_19?dchild=1&keywords=soft%2Bcooler&qid=1614706015&refinements=p_72%3A1248957011&rnid=1248955011&s=sporting-goods&sr=1-19&th=1

I refuse to buy the high $$$$ coolers as it is too much money IMO. I do love my Coleman six day cooler that I bought for $59.00 in 2011. It is my tailgating cooler & Ice lasts for a few days. I also have some coolers from Ocean state Job lot that are low price coolers but they last for an afternoon boat trip when it is just me.

For house parties this is fantastic https://www.amazon.com/Margaritaville-CP1002-000-000-Party-Cooler-Stainless/dp/B00418486Y

I should have asked with all the portable Freezer/fridges out there does anyone have them? I would love one but can't see to justify it as I have free Ice at the marina my tailgating is only one day so ice will do it for me


If I were to buy one this price to review looks good lol   https://www.amazon.com/SetPower-Refrigerator-Portable-Freezer-Reversible/dp/B08PFWTQL4/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=SetPower+21+QT+12+Volt+Refrigerator%2C+Portable+Refrigerator+Freezer+with+Reversible+Lid%2C+DC+12%2F24V%2C+Car+Refrigerator+for+Travel%2C+Camping%2C+Road+Trip%2C+RV&qid=1614707712&s=home-garden&sr=1-1

i bought one of these recently while drinking at 1am.  I don't regret it though.  Seems built very well and bought it with intention to take to the beach and camping this summer.

I hear good things about those coolers. The soft cooler has a place today for its low weight & one to three day ice holding.

I do find that I use my cheap coolers more often because one day of ice is what I need & they are less weight.

My son used nothing but YETI's while on patrol for dinners and cold drinks.   The soft side and regular cooler.

He absolutely loves them,  but YETI's their stand on gun control and a few other things I read about I refuse to use or buy them

Good reason Tommy plus i know you can also buy coolers that are 85% as good for 40% pct of the cost........so like with most things I like Value. But there is room for cheap too at times, as there are times for buying the best too at times.


One thing that is happening now is the theft of coolers.  With some coolers costing $500.00 & up people are stealing them.  We have had a few taken from boats?

Anyone have a cooler(s) stolen......with these new craft beers & expensive wines costing $$$ it can be a very costly loss.
