Bought this as an alternative to the Yeti models, because the price was more acceptable. I have used it extensively for a couple of months now and I just love it. It keeps ice long enough for my purposes, and the latches do not require any strength to release, so my grandkids can get in, get a soda, and latch it closed. Cons: Heavy, large on the outside (but aren't they all?) and you have to be careful to tighten the drain plug well, or it will seep.
