The 5 day ones... are they all they are cracked up to be? I am wondering if it is worth me investing in one, but would like your opinions first.

 

I am also open to suggestions of another brand/ style of anyone has any other suggestions?

Thanks

Yes my Coleman Extreme is all it's cracked up to be. Keeps everything very cold for 5 days and much longer even when it is opened and closed regularly.

It is bulky to transport and has less useable space than some because of the amount of insulation but well worth it in my opinion.

Its fantastic. A good tip I got from this site is to freeze water in some old squash bottles, then as it defrosts the water stays in the bottle and carrys on keeping the box cold.

Yes I've got to say well worth it, I've also got the camping gaz version, that stands upright if necessary - doesn't work too well stood up but as a chest almost as goos as the Coleman.  Must say that the frozen bottle to work well we also use loose ice but when it melts everything is wet - often have beer bottles with no labels on!!!

I find ours works best if we get it really cold first... lots of icepacks and we usually take some frozen stuff as well. We were away for 5 days at Whitsun and did not need to refreeze blocks... most importantly my wine was still cold!
