Best Wheeled Cooler Reviews 2023

More than 20 years ago, some Britons came over to the United States to try their hands at picnic and outdoor products. The result of this is a beautiful blend of the famous European elegance and the American spirit of adventure. This family-owned business, located in Southern California, promises you beautiful products that will make your outdoor moments more enjoyable. Adding to its unique style, Picnic at Ascot promises to give you modern convenience while you picnic without retracting from the original essence of picnics. Expert craftsmanship and innovative designs are what you should expect from every Picnic at Ascot product.

The Picnic at Ascot Picnic Cooler with service for four is sure one of them. One thing that makes this product stand out is the fact that it comes pre-packed. That is, your Picnic at Ascot Picnic Cooler comes with a combination corkscrew, cheese knife, acrylic wineglasses, coordinating 9-inch melamine plates and napkins, and stainless-steel flatware. You are saved the hassle of looking for plates, glasses, and the like that will fit properly into your cooler.

The cooler is divided into two sections; one for food and the other for wine. However, if wine space doesn’t interest you and you’d rather have more food space, worry not. The divider is actually detachable and can be folded to the back to create the extra space you want for your food. Apparently, Picnic at Ascot is into the detachable as evidenced by this product’s detachable wheeled cart and handle. Basically, just remove whatever you don’t need, provided it’s detachable. So, you’ll agree with us if we say this product is quite flexible.

It weighs 9 pounds (4.1kg) empty so it’s pretty easy to haul around. You can put all the ice you want in it and be comfortable about it because it’s leak-proof. It’s made of 600 denier polyester which is designed for extreme conditions; little wonder this product comes with a lifetime warranty. It also has a pass-through opening in the lid for you to pass bottles through. So, if all you want to keep is a bottle, no need opening the whole thing and letting precious cold air escape; just pass it through the top opening and you’ll be fine. Finally, there is this little pocket in front of the cooler that is just the perfect place to throw in your knick-knacks.

What is now known as the Igloo brand used to be a metalworking company way back in 1947. A 1.8 million square-feet, three-building facility in Texas, United States of America, is where it is currently domiciled and where all the magic that is Igloo happens. With more than 500 products in the world market, Igloo’s claim of being the number-one cooler manufacturer in the world is very believable. Its promise of quality, durability, and innovation is obviously fulfilled in its lineup of products ranging from travel mugs, water bottles, and stainless-steel tumblers to picnic baskets and wheeled coolers.

The Igloo MaxCold Wheelie Cooler is that cooler you want to have because of its extra insulation that provides a barrier to heat. Your ice, food, and beverages, Igloo guarantees, will remain chilled for as long as 5 days. So, you can go on a vacation, go hiking, or wherever—and your cold food will remain cold. It’s also stain- and odor-resistant, meaning it will neither get stained nor smell. Cleaning your cooler can’t get any faster or easier—after all, you’re not battling any tough stains or foul smells.

This cooler can carry food and beverages that, altogether, amount to as much as 40 quarts; but, on its own, it weighs just 9.5 pounds making it one easy cooler to carry or drag around. Rugged durable wheels plus swing-up tow-like handles make transportation of the coolers easier. With the wheels you can drag your cooler along any terrain and be comfortable with it because it was built for such cases.

It’s measured at 23 inches long, 13 inches wide, and 18 inches deep, has hybrid latches that are long-lasting, and stainless-steel straps that are corrosion-resistant. The product comes with a one-year warranty.

Other Igloo wheeled coolers include:

• Igloo 3-piece Camping Combo: This is just perfect for that family get-together so the kids get their own mini wheeled cooler. If you decide to go on a hike with the family, this 3-piece comes with a water bottle big enough for the family.
• The Igloo Ice Cube Roller Cooler: This one is shaped like a cube.
• The Igloo Trail Mate Liddup Wheeled Lighted Cooler: This cooler comes with an exclusive lid up LED light system that illuminates your goodies in the dark.

Igloo wheelie coolers are constructed for all terrains.

Since the year 1976, Pelican Products Inc., has been known for its rugged products that are built to last a lifetime under any condition. With a headquarters in Torrance, California, the company, founded by Dave Parker and his wife Arline, currently has 22 international offices not excluding South Africa and Mexico. The first Pelican product that entered the market was the Pelican Float, then the Legendary SabreLight flashlight. Pelican Products Inc., has not skimped on quality ever since. In 2015, the company divided itself into three distinct divisions: Commercial/Government, Consumer, and Bio Thermal to better serve its ever-diversifying market.

The Pelican Elite Cooler comes with a bear-resistant certification from the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee. This helps to keep bears safe and significantly reduce bear-to-human contact by preventing the bears from getting attracted or having access to anthropogenic (human processed as opposed to natural) foods. So, go ahead and take that hike or go for that picnic deep in the woods knowing that no bear can smell your food.

The feet of the cooler are raised and will not leave skid marks. So, your car, your floors, or wherever else this cooler will stay are safe from unwanted marks. It’s made of corrosion-resistant stainless-steel hardware to keep your cooler safe and usable for a long time. Little wonder the makers are bold enough to mention that it’s guaranteed for life.

There are two sizes available for this cool (excuse the pun) product. One has a 45-quart capacity, which measure approximately 29 by 20 by 19 inches on the exterior and 19 by 12 by 12 inches on the interior. The other option, of course, is to go for the 80-quart capacity option. This one measure around 43 by 21 by 20 inches on the outside and 29 by 13 by 13 inches on the inside. If you want even more choice, choose from outdoor tan or marine white.

On the cooler is a sloped drain with an attached plug that can be used to stop the drain; you can decide to attach a garden hose to the drain to efficiently direct the flow of liquid out of the cooler. Further, it comes with a fish scale on the lid for good grip and a built-in bottle opener so you don’t have to bother carrying an extra bottle opener.

Other Pelican wheeled coolers include:

• Pelican Elite 20 Quart Cooler: It’s much smaller so you can use it for a smaller gathering, say you and that special someone.
• Pelican Elite Soft Cooler: This one is significantly lighter than “hard” coolers.

Do keep in mind that all Pelican products have a lifetime warranty.

What happens when a man who can barely read without assistance encounters a bright light coming from a drugstore window? Well, the brand, Coleman happens. W. C. Coleman is the man whose light encounter, way back in 1900, became the beginning of quality outdoor products from Coleman. He discovered that he could read, even the smallest print, under that bright light which was probably because it was powered by pressured gasoline instead of regular coal oil. He decided to start a lighting service. Fast-forward more than 100 years and Coleman delivers a long line of products that spell excellence.

Coleman makes bold to claim that its Coleman Xtreme cooler, with the carrying capacity of 100 quarts (about 95 liters), will keep your food, beverages, and whatever else you can throw in, cold for as long as 5 days under 90 degrees Fahrenheit heat. This means it’s safe to say that this cooler can hold as many things as possible for as long as possible under the right conditions.

In keeping with the agitation against environmental pollution and degradation, Coleman created the ThermOZONETM Insulation which this cooler features. ThermOZONETM insulation is an environment-friendly industry foam that’s free of CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons), HFCs (Hydroflurocarbons), and HCFCs (Hydrochloroflurocarbons) that deplete the ozone layer, emit greenhouse gases, and contribute to global warming. The environment-friendly Coleman Xtreme Cooler happens to have handles on two sides that make it possible to be carried by one or two people if need be. Further, attached to it is a channel for draining out liquid. The channel is rustproof, sure to not leak, and will drain out smoothly without having to tilt it anyway.

Other Coleman wheeled cooler works of art include:

• Coleman 75 Quart Xtreme Wheeled Cooler: This is the same Coleman quality but with a smaller carrying capacity.
• The Coleman 16 Quart Performance Wheeled Cooler: This one is tall and slender and will fit right in as you roll it into your party.
• Coleman 62 Quart Xtreme Wheeled Cooler: This cooler features wheels that are great for any terrain.
• Coleman 40 Quart Performance Wheeled Cooler: This one is for the love of something smaller.

Rubbermaid, the nearly 80-year-old company with a global presence in the house-ware industry, produces everything in the categories of home storage and garage organization, food storage and laundry, bath and cleaning supplies, closet organization and refuse removal. It prides itself in initiating and creating ways to help you organize your life and enjoy it as well. With its “Brand of the Century” recognition, Rubbermaid is said to be one of the 100 companies that impact the American life. It’s got its bases covered with its marketing arm that drives 98.9 percent brand awareness with its customers.

The Rubbermaid Wheeled Cooler has a 60-quart carrying capacity. The lid is split in two and can be opened from either side. This allows you to sneak in or sneak out some things without letting out precious cool air. As a result of this, your food and drinks can be kept cold for about 3 to 4 days. That it has a superior thermal retention also contributes to this laudable feat.

It was constructed in the United States of America and has wheels and comfort-grip handles that can be adapted for any and all terrains; rugged or smooth. Transportation of this cooler is way easy as you can pull it along wherever you go, irrespective of the evenness of the ground. It also has built-in cup holders.

It’s measured at 16.2 inches by 29 inches by 18.2 inches. Further, being resistant to stain and odor means that cleaning won’t be so much of a problem. Without stains or odors, the time taken to clean anything whatsoever is usually cut by half and this cooler gives you that; less time to get it cleaned up and ready to go, especially if you’re on-the-go.

Of course, there are other cool products where this came from, including:

• Rubbermaid Extreme 5-Day Wheeled Ice Chest Rolling Cooler 75 Quart: This cooler has a slightly larger carrying capacity and will keep your stuff cool for a bit longer.
• Rubbermaid 1860488 Durachill 6-Day Wheeled Ice Chest/Cooler, 75 Quart: This one will keep your stuff cold for a little bit longer still.
• Rubbermaid Extreme 5-Day Wheeled Ice Chest/Cooler: This one even has cup holders built-in!

Rubbermaid takes pride in the ruggedness of its coolers’ wheels.
