Can anyone help me, looking at buying an iggy, but not sure which one to get, and how long does it keeps stuff cool for, it will be mostly for weekends away and for 2 people, any suggestions

thanks in advance for your help

We had the 50 which was way too big for 2 people which is why we sold it. They cool down to about 25 degrees below the outside temp so are much more efficiant than other coolers and we were always very pleased with the performance of ours. It just took up too much room in the car and tent.

I think the ones mentioned are electric coolers not sure if it is one of these or a basic cool box type you are after? If it is then try and get one of the max cold range they are sold as keeping ice for five days and are high of my list of must have items

If your budget won’t stretch to a max cold then the next best box in the range is ice cube ultra which has Ultratherm Insulation then the next step down is t the family range which is a cheaper box and still has the Ultratherm Insulation

I have a family cooler and you have to refreeze your ice packs every 24hrs to get the best out of it

Bought this one myself, not from here, which I found after I'd bought it from ebay(brand new) at £23. Apparently upto 3 days of cooling!! I thoroughly looked into this, compared to the Colemans as well as Igloo's Max colds. Found for the money too, this would be great for camping. The handle is very handy too and there are 4 indents to put cups on.
