Igloo Classic Playmate Coolers | Insulated Hard Shell Cooler Chest

igloo never fails to impress, even in this small little cooler. I like to have nice cold water when I am sitting in for a long gaming session to stay hydrated, and what I like to do, is freeze a couple bottles of it, and use this as "ice packing" and place a couple unfrozen bottles on top to keep them nice and cold. By the time I finish the unfrozen bottles the ones underneath are just starting to melt, so I get super ice cold water once I start tapping into those. I like that it is so small, as it doesn't take up a lot of space in my room, and it has a nice sleek design making it look attractive. the handle is nice and sturdy and te built in locking mechanism allows for secure transportation. The way I use it, I don't really have to worry about it leaking, though, I suspect if you had regular ice in there, it MAY leak a bit if tipped over. Overall though, the functionality of this little cooler is top notch, and seems to be able to fit in most hiking backpacks if needed.

Great, perfect size for all my husband’s things plus his lunch. He had another one just like this and it lasted over 30 years. It went to work with my husband everyday. Easy to haul around. Not too big or small. It keeps his lunch cold and the nice red color is easy to spot on the construction site. He was happy to get a new one.

My husband had a playmate in red for nearly 30 years and the locking function on the cover had been broken for the last 10 years but he kept using it. Purchased this as a Christmas present and the smile on his face when he saw it made me think why hadn’t I done it sooner! He absolutely loves it and loves the sturdy handle and the working lock so it doesn’t slide open when carrying.

Perfect for a construction worker. Keeps food cold for hours using the igloo ice pack. Perfect size for a few drinks and your lunch. Easy to carry and clean.

Great quality, just smaller than I thought. Thought I was getting the typical Igloo Playmate size... Should have read the description.

I used the softside version of the Playmate cooler for years, and it worked mostly okay, but I never cared for the hinged top being held onto the body of the cooler with only a zipper, which made it rather fragile, plus the vinyl soft side eventually ripped, promptint me to replace it. I foolishly bought a no-name cooler fabric cooler with a hard plastic liner and hinged top wtih velcro closure and carrying strap from Wal-Mart after that, but I messed up by getting one that was about twice as big as I could handle, and the strap got in the way. This Wal-Mart cooler was just ungainly enough to make me flat hate getting it in and out of my car going to and leaving work, so I went on the lookout for a proper replacement. After a while, I realized that a medium sized Playmate Igloo would probably give me the best of both worlds, so I ordered this one. I've been using it for over a month now, and it's so handy, durable, just the right size, and keeps things cold, that I can't believe that I went so many years with a substandard lunchbox when I could have had this all along. Mine is one of the more common variants these days with the latch mechanism built into the end at the top of the carrying handle, an interesting change from the larger Playmate coolers that I grew up with that have the side button latch mechanism. Having decades of experience with the side button version and this one with the top latch, I think that most people would probably prefer the top latch because it allows one-handed opening. The only situation that I can think of that might favor the side button version (there are several still with the side button of this size Playmate available, namely the diamond plate one dubbed the "Boss") would be for those people who might be in a situation where accidentally opening the cooler would be more likely. It's possible that the side button would be a better type in a small space with other containers being moved in and out of it, say a car trunk, but I find that the top latch makes me like this just a bit better for my purposes. I use it on a daily basis for my lunch at work, and I have zero complaints so far. It's also worth mentioning that after all these years, these coolers are still made in USA, a big deal to those of us who buy domestic products whenever possible. I went to Igloo's website, and it turns out that the original Playmate cooler was originally invented clear back in 1971. There is no reason to reinvent the wheel!

Hell yeah! The handle is actually a dark blue and the bottom is charcoal color. If your burned out on red this is the much box/cooler for you. Actually took it bbqing yesterday held everything well. Use the ice pack I’m showing in the pic as you can stand it up or lay flat. I checked Walmart and there are none that pot perfectly together.

My fiance really liked having one of these small coolers when she was younger. She put it in her wish list and wanted me to get her one for Christmas. I did. She does a lot of conventions and wanted something like this so she could take with her to keep drinks and some food in during the day. Also, when we take short trips, she takes it with us every time. It's been great. Keeps things cold. insulation seems good, thickness is nice, handle is solid overall the quality is nice and it stores pretty easily. No complaints here.

Stupendo!!! Funzionale(doppia apertura a scorrimento),solido e bello. Le bottiglie d'acqua non entrano in verticale mentre in orizzontale non tutti i tipi quelle più grandi entrano comunque in diagonale
