While it works well, and will contain a huge amount of stuff, it's proper hefty and will take two people to carry it, one at each end. So basically this is an insulated box, I suppose like your typical picnic box? The difference is that this one is big, I mean it's a bench when you close the lid, and it has a drawer in the front too. I think this is ideal for something a sporting event when you want to take food and drink for your team. Fill it up, add ice etc, heave it into your car boot, heave it out when you get there. Then there's the price!!!! Gracious me! I have to be brutally honest, this is an insulated picnic box. Albeit a giant one with superb insulative properties, but that's all it is after all so I don't think that reflects the price of it. Anyhoo aside the cost, for it's design, intended purpose and the function of it it's very good indeed. It also doubles up as a bench for two. Read more

This box is actually humungous and I probably should have checked measurements, but if you're going on a trip or need to have a store for cold drinks on holiday this is amazing. It has such a large capacity and ninja are well known for high quality products. The draw underneath is perfect as well and it can also double up as a seat if you went camping or something of the sorts given its size. The grey is a nice colour. Read more

This arrived very well packaged in a huge box. As soon as you open this, you immediately see the quality of this cooler however it is also a very high price point. The lock for the main lid is very strong and well made, I have no doubts it will stay closed when bouncing around in the car. Inside it's not quite as big as I thought, but I presume that is because there is so much insulation to keep it cool. The bottom drawer to keep things cold is a genius idea and also good to keep foods separated. That also has a very positive lock, again no issues staying closed when bouncing around in the car. The lid doubles as a seat as it is very strong and sturdy, so perfect for a family day out or camping. It has 2 very strong and secure handles on the sides, but this is quite heavy without any contents. I would suggest once filled with ice, drinks and food this will be heavy to move. I have to comment on the price, this is very expensive but it's certainly the highest quality and best looking cooler I have ever seen. Do I think it's work £250, err not sure but I feel this is a little expensive for me.... but it does look awesome. Read more

I ordered the larger of the 2 sizes. It really is enormous! There’s a lift up lid, to access the main compartment, fastened with a secure 2-way lock. There’s also the option to add a padlock (at £250 I’d suggest padlocking the cooler to something sturdy, without worrying about the contents!). Underneath the main compartment is a slide out drawer, with a sliding lock. The idea is that a good layer of ice in the main compartment will keep the bottom tray cool, while the contents of the tray stay dry. This is a real bonus over a standard cool box. A sticker on the inside suggests 11kg of ice should be added for optimal cooling capacity. This means that on top of the weight of the cool box itself, there’s another 11kg, before you’ve even added any food or drinks. However, I imagine in the UK climate you could get away with less. I had a 2kg bag of ice in the freezer which I added to the cool box, along with some cans of pop. The tray underneath felt reasonably cool. I kept it in the kitchen and checked on it daily. It took 4 days for the ice to melt completely. Once melted, the water can be easily drained via the side spout. The inside of the box is very easy to clean and won’t stain like other plastic versions. Overall, this is the crème de la crème of cool boxes. It’s clearly geared up for the American outdoors market, but could work well in the UK. I’d suggest it to anyone with a large vehicle and a keen interest in camping/outdoor activities. Read more

Impressive! Don’t buy this unless you have a huge boot in your car! I would have given it 5 stars if it had wheels to move it around easier Read more
