Claims to hold ice below 5degrees for 5 days in specifications

That sounds very plausible. Out of interest what colour is the insulation on the inside of the box?

The 15l is the ICED picnic cooler, it's not an Iceytek. It's made for picnics and day trips, I would send it back and get the proper 25L Iceytek.
Ice at 5 degrees isn't ice, it's cold water, so the spec might well be correct.

I've got the 25l cube and always start with it packed to the brim, no spare space, even if it means frozen bottles of water to fill the gaps and food still frozen after 5 days, admittedly I only open once or twice a day but it is better than others I've owned in the past.
As commented on earlier the spec in 15l looks slightly different to that of the 25l, just call them and see what they say, in my brief experience with them they are accommodating and helpful on the customer service front.

Just popped on to the Cool Boxes UK site and the only 15l box I can see on there is this picnic box not made by icey tek.
The insulation on the inside of the box looks totally different to the bigger boxes too.
To be fair I think what you have here if this is yours, is a picnic cool box for the beach. Its not the same as the other boxes. If I were you I'd return it and go up to the 25L box

Just get in touch with them and swap it for the 25l icey tec, they are very helpful. Be aware though the 25l icey tec is very bulky for a 25l cool box which is why i sold mine and got the yeti roadie 24 as its narrower but taller so goes behind the car seat and also has a carry handle.

that doesnt make any sense
Icy-Tek 25 spec states "Holds ice below 5 degrees Celsius for 163 hours / 6.8 days"
Iced 15 spec states "Holds ice below 5 degrees Celsius for 124.5 hours / 5.2 days"
This would suggest they are on a level (give or take a day)

ok ... just spoken with Cool Box UK .... Apparantly they very occasionally get this issue and put it down to user (not sure how a user can get it wrong tbh) .... I asked if Iced brand is inferior to Icy-Tek and the Icy-Tek may have marginally more insulation but it really is minimal difference. Im going to try one more time ... if no joy will return it

Thought the 15lt was just a rebadged product very similar to one sold by loads of different companies, always loads on the bay around the £75 mark but have seen them as low as £55.

As goose says sounds like an inferior rebadged box to me. I doubt it will ever meet your expectations or match how a pukka icey-tek box will perform. I'd be sending it right back if I were you and get one of the propper branded jobbies.

I think there is loads of them on the web. Here's one on the first page I looked at that looks just like the ICED box.

Or this one.

In which case neither are guaranteeing frozen ice for any length of time and if that's what you're after then specs mean nothing.
Many can tell you that when used properly the Iceytek will keep ice frozen for days on end. That ICED box appears to be an £80 cool box with a £55 sticker. I would send it back and get the real thing.
