I need a good large Cooler/ice chest

We have a Lifetime brand. Purchased from Walmart. I know the Ozark brand also gets good reviews.

One nice feature on the Lifetime are the latches and ease of use. There was no way my wife could do the rubber latches in the Yeti.

I second the lifetime coolers. I originally looked at Yeti and Artic but ended up with the lifetime. Well built, holds ice very well and lockable at a fraction of the cost of the other brands.

Don't spend so much for a Yeti. Just get a good 5 day cooler. Coleman Xtreme have been reliable for us. I go on fishing trips packing in 6 coolers for a week twice a year. My favorite are the Gray and Orange version as they hold temp very well but have more room inside. Since they are in bear boxes they don't absorb heat from the sun. Otherwise, the white coolers are better for reflecting sun but the walls are thicker and hold less.

I've had a Coleman Extreme 5 day cooler for 15 years and it works great. As far as value for money goes - they're tough to beat. I don't use it with the new rig, but, in the past I'd freeze a 3 gallon container (plastic dish washing pan) of water stand it up in the cooler and add two bags of cubes every other day. 9 days later the block of ice was still 50% it's original size.
