this cooler is pretty awesome. my folks fridge dieda few days before christmas so I took it over there. still had half of the same 10lb bag of ice after 3 days. my aunt shows up and needs to keep some frozen stuff on ice to back take home to alabama. more than enough space. had 3/4 of that bag of ice still there 3 days later and the stuff was still frozen solid. my aunt took my cooler so I had to go buy another one and picked up one for my folks. if you don't have a good cooler I think this would make a good option.
