100/110Q Ark Series Coolers

Make no mistake, the 100qt is a massive unit! I wanted a good sized one and decided on the Blue 100qt based on the price and the size. A lot of the other brands seem to top out about 65qt. I loaded up the cooler for 4th of July party with a couple cases of beer and 40lbs of ice. The cooler has been on my back deck for 7 days in 80-90 Temps and directly in the afternoon sun. Day 7 there is no ice left, but the remaining beers are still cold. Day 6 was the last inch or so of ice remaining in the bottom. It seems to melt progressively, as in, the cooler was still half full of ice 5 days in. Melts down faster the less there is. All that being said, I own no other high end coolers, but I am impressed with this one. Just be advised that it is huge and heavy, but seems very well built and does a great job. I'll probably get a smaller one down the road, but I'll stick with a Blue unless my opinion changes with time. Based on the apparent quality, I don't expect my opinion will change.

Worked great during a trip to the river in the Oklahoma summer heat. Held ice for multiple days.

I have purchased many many coolers in my life, and everyone I bought was purchased because it was inexpensive. I have hated the quality of all of my past cheap coolers. They just don't keep ice long at all. I decided to FINALLY pay a bit more for a cooler that actually works. I did my research and found this Blue Cooler. This thing is a BEAST. Such high quality and not as expensive as some out there. I love the accessories that came with it. The cutting board that slides down the middle to separate items and the basket crate that can hold some things above the ice. We camp a ton as a family, so this thing is going to get a lot of use, so I am really excited about the quality. This one is their 100q, so it isn't light when filled, but the handles are nice, and two people can get the job done. I highly recommend it, because the first time we used it, our ice actually kept throughout our trip. In the long run, I think we will save money because I won't be in need of another cooler for a LONG time. I've easily spent over $500 on my last 10 crappy coolers.

I like our cooler well enough but it doesn’t keep ice for 10 days like they claim. It’s big which is nice, and it does keep ice for longer than our old Coleman, so we’re happy enough with it. I just expected more after reading about how great it was at keeping ice for so long. We definitely need to keep draining the water out and adding ice every couple days. It’s been in the 90’s tho and close to 100 some days tho so maybe that’s just too hot for it to handle. The wheels are helpful and the clasps are well designed. The blue color is really lovely too. Overall it’s a good cooler and the price is right.

100 qt takes 60 lbs of ice and best I get is 7 days, I work on the pipeline in south Texas and it’s triple digits heat . It’s heavy but it does the job . I do keep it inside the truck to help keep it cooler with the ac running. 1000% satisfied so far

I choose this cooler for camping to replace my 110 that does not hold ice. Prices for big coolers are so high. This one was reasonably affordable. It holds ice great. I live in Florida and have used it over 5 days. It wasn’t hot but it wasn’t cold either. Ice held up pretty good. No complaints. I even ended up buying a smaller one for my boyfriend’s RZR and we are enjoying it also. Oh one of the greatest features on this brand is the RUBBER stoppers the bottom. It GOES NO WHERE! Never slides in the tailgate.

I used this and two 105 yetis to haul 309 lbs of beef from texas to florida in august. We put 30lbs of dry ice in each cooler and this one carried about 150 lbs of fresh meat. By the time we got to alabama, the meat was frozen and we still had dry ice. Super happy with this cooler.

Appears to be good quality, Have not used it yet.
