KYSEK The Ultimate Ice Chest Extreme Cold Cooler, Marine White, 35 Liter

This cooler seems to have it all, I was particularly interested in the wheels and the ability to add in a bluetooth temperature sensor.Although the build quality seems nice, unless a cooler does an excellent job retaining ice it is not a good cooler regardless of features or quality. And it's one of these extra neat features that causes the cooler to NOT be a very good cooler - the double drain plugs.I'm sure it seemed like a good idea - hey, let's add a 2" drain so we can save a couple minutes when it's time to put the cooler away! And it could be a good thing, but the drains on this cooler are implemented very poorly - they have zero insulation. Zip. None. Nada. As in not even a little bit of token cheap foam so that it's obvious insulation was at least an afterthought.What this means is that both drain plugs sweat profusely, and lose cool from your cooler at an alarming rate. 20 lbs of ice (a fairly typical load for a 50 liter cooler) was completely gone after about 3.5 days outside in the shade in 60 - 80 degree weather. This is $20 Coleman cooler-esque performance. Also, and just as important - anything that your cooler happens to be sitting on is going to get very wet. Hope you don't have wood floors.Finally, don't count on Kysek for customer service. I emailed them asking if they were working on anything to improve their drain plugs. 2 Business Days later, still no response. Silence. Not even a thanks for your question automatic reply.So, this cooler is going back. It doesn't matter how good an idea is if it's implemented as poorly as these drain plugs.Update:So on the 3rd business day after posting this review I received a response from Kysek. To their credit, they offered to send me new drain plugs or RMA the cooler. However, this is a design problem not a manufacturing defect so new plugs or a new cooler won't change anything.After further research, sweating drain plugs is not a new problem among rotomolded coolers. However most coolers only have one small drain which which results in much less heat transfer. Apparently, this issue can be mitigated by purchasing a rubber or cork stopper and plugging the drain from the inside of the cooler to restore some insulation at the drain opening. Not the most elegant solution but definitely cheap and easy!The problem with the Kysek cooler again is the 2nd, XXL 2" drain hole. Good luck finding anything to plug that! My suggestion to Kysek was to create a new drain plug with a couple inches of rotomolded insulation and rubber seal on the inside. This would pretty much restore the full integrity of the insulation at the large plug and could be made as a retrofit for existing coolers. Wouldn't be too difficult or expensive but would require actual product development and testing resources.I'm not holding my breath, but this is what it would take to turn this into a great cooler.

Side by side comparison between this and the 70qt made me glad I went with the 50qt. At the 50qt size it’s HUGE, heavy and big enough for most common needs. The longest I’ve had ice in it is 6 straight days, but that was sitting (locked up with the cable attachment of course) in the bed of my truck in the central Texas heat. It normally fills up with at 24 pack of canned beer, a 12 pack of bottled water and bout 30ish lbs of ice. Again, this thing is HEAVY, but the wheels make it super easy to move around. Lifting is another story.

100L kysek one of the best coolers if seen.I Pre-cooled the cooler before a hurricane for 2 days with ice, then topped it off, i kept then kept it inside where the temp was around 74degrees, it kept ice for nearly 11 days i then dumped what was left maybe 20 lbs, nothing but ice in the cooler. so does it keep ice for a long time, yes. is it heavy hell yes could one person carry it empty, no, but that's the beauty of having the cooler with wheels.

honestly, this cooler is sooooo heavy!! I am a 190lb full-grown man 32 years old and I lift a bit. I. fined lifting this cooler even when it is empty, daunting and when it has a bit of ice and food. . . well. it really is a 2 person cool. The weels help, but getting it up in and out of my truck is a pain. I would not buy this again.

This cooler does work as advertised. It keeps our drinks cool for a very long time. The only complaint I have is that it's nearly impossible to move when it's full of ice and drinks. The wheels are good if you're on pavement, but when I'm lugging this thing across the soccer field, I'm wishing for my $25 Coleman

Cooler seems nice, very heavy. Rope handles seem to be a little light given the cooler weight and they ate riveted it. Not sure how they would be replaced if they should break or wear out. Ice retention seems pretty good, we'll see when hot weather rolls around this Summer. Wheels are a great feature for transporting a heavy cooler, even heavier when filled.

Amazing quality and I love the hauler wheels. The stickers are really hard to take off but other than that I love it. I did a lot of research and I wanted a yetti but thy are so heavy and all the accessories are just as pricey. I saw tremendous value in all the features in the Kysek from the wheels, beer openers and slip resistant lid and bottom. Watch the YouTube videos...it helped me. Again... Advertising stickers are very hard to remove but the actual cooler is awesome.

Sorry Yeti, this is a better product than yours. Very nice and easy to mover around. It did an excellent in full sun on top deck of fishing boat for two day fishing trip. The only draw back was I underestimated how large this cooler was. couldn't see in a store to judge size, as a result I got more cooler than I needed.
