I've got an Igloo & it kept 2L bottles of water frozen for 3 days no problem. Still half frozen after 5 days.

My igloo is the maxcold 47. Last year in 38ish degree heat mine was packed with frozen boilie and milk to start, then when we got there half the bait was taken out and replaced with the beers. They were drinkable in an hour tops, and the bait and milk stayed frozen solid for 3 days, and was still part frozen after 5day, even wit opening and closing fairly regularly. My mate had his battery powered box there and the igloo was getting beer cold faster. They come up on special offer sometimes on ebay, I paid less than £50 for my one.

I've got the same Coleman box the one thing that lets it down is that it's not completely air right a couple of years ago I took it to France and whilst on the ground ants managed to get inside 👎 yes it was shut correctly and I had my spot bucket on top.

Just ordered a icey-tek 👍

I've got a Coleman that I use for family camping trips. Whatever their outlandish claims are in terms of keeping ice frozen (can't remember) are absolutely not true. However, as has been said, if you want the best it will cost a lot of money. There are companies like Yeti that make amazing bits of kit but they are mega money. I think the Coleman is about the best compromise and I did a lot of reading and research before buying mine.

Hello everyone, I also tried to fix the refrigerator, but decided that it would be easier to buy a new, but portable cooler one for my trailer. When choosing a portable refrigerator for camping, it is important to consider how many people will need to refrigerate food and how long the trip will take.

For a short touring trip, relaxing on the beach, or fishing, passive cooling solutions are the best choice for your comfort without the need for a power source. Thanks to excellent insulation, passive portable coolers Ozark can store ice for days, and their capacity reaches 111 liters! For best results, we recommend pre-chilling food and drinks at home and then placing them in a portable refrigerator filled with ice or ice packs.

HI never done a weeks fishing but from camping experience the Icytek (got a 55l one) is great and will keep ice for days. Built like a tank (weighs as much to), had ours for 8 years and still like new.
Did just buy an iceQ portable fridge for £60 (32l) and if you have access to power (runs on 12 & 240v) then this is brilliant also. Will cool 20oC from ambient and can also be set to heat (not sure why this would be good but anyway).
