I can vouch for the IGLOO which I have been quite happy with.

However, if you REALLY want to splash out then consider ICEY TEC. They are not cheap but do apparently live up to their claim of keeping things cool for 10 days.

Our electric cool box from Aldi kept the contents cold for 4 days, 3 nights during a warm spell in the summer. I did start it off with 2 ice packs inside when we left home, and didn't have it plugged in on the journey. Can't vouch for how long it will last, but seems sturdy and was only £30.

Ive got Igloo Maxcold, it did what it said kept things cold for days.  You will still need to change ice packs every other day.  There have been post on here for Igloo.

i have got the coleman xtreme and it kept all our drinks and food ice cold on our 7 day camping trip in august, all we did was to put as much ice in the box as we could,half way through the hol we let some of the melted iced water out of the box and topped it up with some more ice we got from the supermarket,would recomand this box if you followed what we did above you should be able to keep things cold for 2 weeks.......

We have got an igloo - and very pleased indeed - there are various links about how to keep your stuff colder for longer - ie the bottles of frozen water etc and it works brill for us - would not be without it - use it for parties and family gatherings.

It really depends on how much it gets opened. If you put warm goods inside (or cold goods that have been out in the sun for a while and warmed up a bit) then this will seriously impact it's performance.
