Love the video. I work underground in a coal mine and everyone uses a cooler made by Engel. If you like exploring different products they make a very solid light weight 13qt and 18qt. Very strong and we still dump ice out at the end of shift even though it’s hot and we re in them so often, with affordable replacement parts🍻
Years ago I bought a small blue lunch box style one made in Australia with a steel handle made by Downunder five star ? it was a beast good as a step seat not sure if they still going regards Mike
Thanks. Was in the market for a cooler with latches and Amazon didn't show Engel anywhere on the first or second page. Odd, considering when I searched specifically for them, they had thousands of reviews. Stupid Amazon! Picked up their 19qt cooler.
Does it fit ice packs +lunch? Got a 19 q Engle that I had for 4 years and looking to replace. Fits a big ice pack, lunch, Gatorade and waters plus some items on the top tray. Plus a jacket. This look promising, just wish I can see it in person to see if it fits my food containers. They fit snug on my 19 q
I’ve had one of these on order for over 4 months. I ordered the same color and same reasons. Primary use is a lunch box. I like the dry goods basket, netting and top storage. Perfect use for a 14+ hour work day without weighing a ton. Will a normal water bottle or Gatorade bottled fit under the tray? I sure hope so. Does it seem sturdy enough to sit on it?
Sorry I can't measure it for you I have given it as a 50th Birthday present I am thinking if you want to sit on it I would put something in the dry storage area to prevent the lid cracking regards Mike
Do you guys think that this cooler is too large for daily use for a non-construction type laborer...I work in hosptial rehab. This cooler checks off every single thing Im looking for in a new lunch container - except that its pretty large for what I may need it for. Its awesome however...
@@kisbushcraftdownunder Got it! Love it! thanks for the extra encouragement before I hit the "order" button. Definately on the larger side but i can use it for many events besides lunch. I put some leftover containers in the cooler and they acted like ice packs and the whole inside was like a fridge when I opened it....pretty suprising!
The lid is thin as it has storage below it you would need to put something under it or I expect it would crack over time as a seat possible its a little short for most people
Pre-chill drinks. Pre-chill cooler Freeze ice packs. Pack cooler with food and drink. Fill voids with ice cubes. Keep closed as much as possible. She be chilly. Works great.
Mine said on box and on the cooler made in China the larger Elite coolers are made in the USA 🇺🇸 I have a couple. Mine is now more than a year old so things might of changed

You could get the tape measure out but if you a tight fit in 19 qt 14 gt will be like skinny jeans

Go big you can always use the extra space for a rain jacket or a book you then have a portable cooler for the weekend regards Mike

@@mattdong1 The Yeti ice bricks are really great and they have some new smaller ones out now regards Mike
hello, thanks for the video, tell me it is comfortable to sit on or is this cooler too small for this?
The lid is thin as it has storage below it you would need to put something under it or I expect it would crack over time as a seat possible its a little short for most people
I’m curious if you can sit on it since it has that thin door on top. I love my 20qt and being able to use it as a chair.
Personally I wouldn't unless you somehow reinforced the dry storage area
Just cut a piece of plywood to fit into the electronics compartment.
Awesome demo and review video!!!
I try and give the best information so viewers can make the bet choice for them regards Mike
This could’ve been great for my SUP board but with no side tie down points it’s a negative
It has side tie down points
@@kisbushcraftdownunder just ordered one! Thanks
Does it hold more then 6 cans? Looking to buy one if it does.
Yes if you don’t use a full five kilo gram bag of ice regards Mike
@@kisbushcraftdownunder sweet! Thanks for the reply.
Pre-chill drinks.
Pre-chill cooler
Freeze ice packs.
Pack cooler with food and drink.
Fill voids with ice cubes.
Keep closed as much as possible.
She be chilly.
Works great.
Does it float ?
Can it be submerged
Definitely floats the storage box on top would not be dry though
Can this withstand 150 degrees for a couple hours?
150 Fahrenheit I say no problem 150 Celsius I think 🤔 might be a challenge
No. I’ve had all the pelican coolers and none have survived a hot car.
@@r0kwel why not?
Don’t show us how many 0.5L water bottles u can put inside ..for what ?
Anyone know what the notches on the side do?
do you mean the four tie down strap slots ?
@@kisbushcraftdownunder hmm, I guess that’s what they would be for.
Mine said made in USA
I checked with them and the elite range is made in the USA but not the 14 quart
I just looked up this cooler and says it's made in America 🇺🇸, not china!!
