Product Information

Very pleased with it. Friend has now bought one as well as he like mine so much. Wheels are so convenient - especially as you get older! V. Good. The Igloo Maxcold 40 Roller 38 litre ice box combines style and convenience into one easy to wheel cool box. Extending cooling is offered due to the Igloo MaxCold 40 litre wheeled ice box being equipped Ultratherm insulation within the body and lid, reliable and perfect for keeping food and beverages cool for up to 5 days*, making the Igloo Maxcold wheeled ice box idyllic for camping trips, BBQ's, festivals, parties, fishing trips or just weekend breaks! The hard ice chests are tough enough to handle bad weather and keep your hunting and fishing game cold for later. The soft coolers help you lunches for work or a trip to the theme park keep you energized for what the day has in store for you. A cool box keeps food and drink cool by insulating it from the outside environment. Unlike cool bags, which rely on the material properties of the bag to provide this insulation, there are different types of cool box. Some work in different ways:

Igloo MaxCold Coolers aren’t going to overwhelm you with the laundry list of features that they have like some other premium cooler brands that we have tested. But they do have some necessary features in place to help bump up ice performance. In addition, they also have a handful of features that are dedicated to usability. This makes these coolers good for a large range of target audiences. This is a decent range of sizes and should accommodate most people’s needs when it comes to storage space.

Compressor cool boxes These top-of-the range coolers usually start at 40 litres and resemble a mini-fridge. They need plugging in, and hi-tech models are available that can be controlled with apps. Another nifty feature located on the larger examples is the hatch lid. This allows you to access stored items inside the cooler body without having to completely open the lid. This is helpful both from a convenience perspective as well as helping to reduce how much warm air can get into the cooled items when opened. All cool boxes performed OK, but all the electric cool boxes we tested performed better than passive ones. The waterproof lining in the Igloo is pretty thin, and I can see something catching it and tearing it fairly easily—then it’s game over for the cooler. Now that we have gone over a few of the more popular convenience-related features, let’s focus on the features that help to prolong ice life.

I think the Igloo will last long enough for you to get a good deal for your money. But there’s nothing that blows me away about the materials and construction. Also, it is worth mentioning that there have been quite a few updates to this line as well. Previous models that may still be floating around include MaxCold Workman’s Meal to Go Cooler Bags, MaxCold duffels, and more. Great for parties, sports teams, barbecues and camping trips with its robust styling and thoughtful design, the extra large Igloo Maxcold ice chest cool box can thrive in any situation. Igloo Maxcold 150 and 165 Extra Large Ice Chest Features: Drain plugs come standard on all sizes (even the smallest!) and are situated to be very easy to access and open/close. It is worth mentioning that the smaller sizes won’t come with a threaded drain plug (it is a triple snap, leak-resistant model). This isn’t a huge deal but some people do prefer the threaded (which comes in the larger models). Whether you have a party at a friend’s house or a trip to the outdoors coming up this weekend, your water, Gatorade, soda, beer, or any other drinks will taste cold and delicious.Igloo’s MaxCold soft coolers come in handy for a variety of situations, no matter the level of action. You can take them to work, no matter the job, to store your lunch for the day or drinks and treats for a co-worker’s birthday. The smaller coolers trended downward, with the smallest 40-quart cooler producing around 35 to 60 hours of potential ice life (depending on conditions). Igloo coolers have always been quite affordable. And while the MaxCold Cooler series does utilize some extra features that may drive up the cost, the asking price is still very reasonable and should be within most people’s budgets.

The Igloo MaxCold Cooler Review earns a 3.5 out of 5 cooler rating. The Max Cold cooler line does earn its name as it does a much better job of maximizing cold than most conventional coolers at this price range. The extra insulation shines and with so many size options there is sure to be one that works for you. However, they are a noticeable step down from Yeti in terms of quality, performance, and durability. These coolers aren’t designed to handle grizzly bears or easily keep ice for a week at a time (outside of the largest sizes creeping up there).The best cool boxes keep the contents chilled better for longer. The best electric cool boxes cooled the chilled bottles of water to an even lower temperature by the end of the day than when we put them in. Leakproof The Igloo Maxcold 40 Roller wheeled ice chest is fitted with smooth-ride durable wheels ensuring minimal effort is required when taking from A to B coupled with reinforced swing up handles for easy lifting. Igloo Max Cold 40 Litre Features: These are extremely mobile and quite comfortable to carry. Many models will come with multiple carrying options including an overhead padded handle as well as a padded shoulder strap. In addition, they are designed to be sleek while still allowing for plenty of storage space.

The latches on the MaxCold products more closely resemble what you would find on a much more expensive premium cooler. If you're into trekking, want something for the odd picnic, or to keep your lunch cool for work A cooler bag may be the way to go.While you won’t enjoy the ice life of MaxCold Hard-Sided Coolers, these soft-sided coolers still take advantage of their cold-retaining features to maximum performance. Our testing includes filling up with ice about 1/3 of the way, leaving in the heat, and occasionally opening the container. We tested passive cool boxes and electric cool boxes from major UK retailers and brands. We bought every product we tested, so you can be sure our opinion isn't biased by us receiving freebies. Insulation One of our big complaints about the previous Igloo MaxCold was in the looks department. We found the styling to be old and bland. Thankfully, Igloo has updated the styling to bring it to a more progressive look. While it still doesn’t blow us away, it is certainly better than it was before. We have mixed feelings about the results. For a short lunch excursion, these soft-sided coolers will do fine. But for anything more than a few hours, only the largest grippers will be able to handle it.
