Hiya, I bought one of these coolboxes recently from someone,  can anyone advise if they are ok to use on its side like a fridge or does it need to be upright like a standard coolbox.

I can'r see as it would hurt. Does the lid still fit tight on its side?

Thanks guys.

Just hope get the weather to use it..... just another question if I put frozen stuff in it how long will it keep frozen for?

  Not sure how long it will stay frozen, but when we used ours at Easter (my absolute bargain, off ebay for £10) bought meat on the friday afternoon for bbq saturday, mince for taco's on sunday and bacon for each morning including monday kept it in my coolbox and didn't open it until needed, kept milk etc in friends coolbox and the meat/mince/bacon was partially frozen(baring in mind that none of it was frozen in the first place!

  If you put the frozen stuff on the bottom, I'm sure it will keep frozen for at least a couple of days(if it's anything like mine!)

  Best wishes Sam

Depends on how hot it is outside the box. It wouldn't defrost quite so fast in a Scottish winter as it would in a 40'C heatwave, after all.
