Coleman Cabin Tent: Coleman 50-Quart Wheeled Soft-Sided Cooler (Color May Vary) Review

Average Reviews:
2.5 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)This cooler does NOT have a hard plastic liner. (Try the 30 can model, but that model doesn't have wheels either) One advantage I've found without the liner is that you can overload it a bit and it will handle irregularly shaped items, but I'd rather have the option of removing it if needed. Coleman does not recommend using ice in this cooler, even though the liner has heat-welded seams. You probably could use ice if you put it in Ziplock bags or something similar to prevent leakage. I use 2-3 of the large size re-freezable gel packs and it's good all day - even in steamy 90 degree heat. Bear in mind, it's a cooler, not a refrigerator.

The cons I've found are minor. The handle could be an inch or two longer. Not a huge deal, but I'm 5'10" and I had to lean into it a little when towing it. Also, I found the handle a little on the "twisty" side. Though it bumped down uneven sidewalks and pathways and didn't actually roll over, you have to pay attention. It gives you the sensation that it WILL roll over if you're not careful. I also found myself wishing it had a strap handle instead of the two side handles. Even loaded, it's light enough and one-handed maneuverability would be a plus at times. The collapsable handle is NOT suitable for lifting it when loaded.

My only "quality control" issue is that the inside liner seems a little too large and loose-fitting for the outside shell, but that doesn't affect the load capacity.

The "other" color from the one depicted is black/grey with celery green trim. You don't get a choice, but it was actually the color I wanted. Bonus!

Overall, I'm satisfied with the product. It's nice looking equipment and more than adequate for my occasional weekend concert or tent camping trip. It will probably even get an opportunity to save my bacon during a power outage.
