Ozark Trail 45 Quart High Performance Rolling Roto-Molded Cooler with Microban?, Greystone

Ozark Trail 45 Quart High Performance Rolling Roto-Molded Cooler with Microban?, Greystone

Use of these names, logos, and brands does not imply endorsement. Unfortunately, however, you won’t be getting much choice in terms of color. You also don’t get too many options to customize your cooler with a decal or a custom color or something like that unless you opt for a third-party accessory. As for mobility, you also get a shoulder strap with plenty of padding. You even get an extendable telescoping handle with the 42-can model. They are one of the most expensive soft sided coolers on the market. Melting ice is the last thing you want to worry about when you're out in the woods, on the boat or kicking back at the beach. Protection against the growth of bacterial odors and stains that is guaranteed to last the lifetime of the product. The product also features a wire basket, 4 drink holders, a built-in fish ruler and heavy-duty handles with comfort grip for easy rolling. We purchased four bags of ice – two for each cooler – and got started. The Ozark Trail held ice one day longer than the Coleman and in general, the cooler felt cooler inside than the Coleman. Unfortunately, the deal breaker is that it intermittently leaked water from the drain spout.
Check out our review of the Coleman Atlas Series 65-Quart Cooler with Wheels. Overall the Pelican coolers have sharper edges and a bit more of an industrial feel than the competition. One of the first things to note about it’s design is that it has a larger drainage hole and a tethered drain cap, which is a nice feature. I have lost a couple of drain caps in my day which makes the cooler unusable until a replacement arrives. This cooler, when compared to the Pelican 45Q Elite and Yeti Tundra, has the smallest profile while still providing 45Q internal storage. It features rubber latches which I am a huge fan of for boating applications. Similar to the Ozark Trail cooler, the Pelican features orange wheel rims and also has orange clasp accents. You can get this cooler in three colors, Tan which is featured here, as well as graphite and white. The other two colors will have different rims and accents, so if you don’t love the orange you have options. The coolers in competition were the Ozark Trail 45QT Rolling Thermocooler, The Pelican 45QW Elite Wheeled Cooler, and the Yeti Tundra Haul. We offer Standard Shipping (3-8 days) and Express shipping (2 days). The Ozark Trail cooler is made from polyethylene, which is the most common kind of plastic in use today. So, I have to say that I was really surprised with how this test turned out. You can see from the images below that there was consistent ice melt, however two of the three were better performing. For a cooler of more manageable size and only $97.00, the Ozark Trail 35-quart hard sided cooler is a great choice. Its premium insulation makes for impressive ice retention, and the freezer-grade gasket is removable for quick cleanup. This model's interior bin features a handle, along with a locking plate on the outside. The hard-sided coolers are designed to try to compete with the top-tier of the premium cooler world. But it is still good to know about issues that may arise so you know exactly what you’re getting. There are two on the small one and 4 on the medium and large ones. Next, we have the anti-skid feet, which protect your tabletop from your super-heavy cooler. Prior to purchasing the cooler I had read several reviews that said this cooler collects condensation around the drain spout. I didn’t think much of the comments until I saw the amount of water leaking from my cooler. We tightened the spout and it leaked three more times over two days, so the cooler went back to Walmart. This Ozark Trail cooler is made for durability and convenience, providing the perfect storage for your best beers. This model also contains a wire basket, four cup holders, and easy-open latches. For a high-end roto-molded cooler, the Ozark Trail 52-quart is the way to go.
