Buyer Beware...

Review for
Coleman Esky Series Cooler
Bottom line up front: Not a total fail, but an overall disappointment. I was truly hoping this was going to be Coleman’s great (American made) entrance into the super cooler market. I was wrong. I am typically an over informed consumer especially when dropping this kind of cash but the biggest problem right now is that this cooler is too new. In other words, there aren’t any unbiased reviews out there by competent folks (as of May ’16). The few reviews that exist are done by people that were given coolers by Coleman. In other words, a poor review equates to less of a chance of getting free swag next year. So, lets get to it:
Pros:
Decent warranty (6 years)
Khaki and green color looks good
Rubber locking handles are nice
Huge drain cap (2 big flaws though, see below)
Cutting board (good idea, poorly executed, see below)
One of the best volume per dollar super coolers on the market (i.e.- good bang for your buck!)
Comes with dry rack
Thick walls
It’s not a YETI, so I didn’t have to spend $750 to get a 130+ quart cooler!
Cons:
The drain cap is 2 inches off the bottom of the cooler. With a cooler this size that’s enough to leave 3+ gallons of water behind (over 25 additional pounds). It’s also made from brittle plastic and the retaining tab is just a fold of plastic. I give it 3 months. The black plastic has already turned white from fatigue where it was bent over from the factory.
Cutting board is okay, but the mounts that hold it in place on the inside of the lid
