Great quality
"Great quality and great for keeping ice for a long period of time."
Engel, the original high-performance roto-molded cooler was built for toughness and durability. With a full 2 inches of closed-cell foam insulation in the lid, on the sides, and the bottom, helping to retain cold and ice for up to 10 days.
Unlike the rubber gaskets used by our competitors, Engel's all silicone gaskets create a near airtight seal that is durable and will never lose its shape. The majority of independent reviews consistently rank Engel Coolers as one of the best-rotomolded coolers on the market.

"Great quality and great for keeping ice for a long period of time."
"We did our own “trial run” when we received our cooler - the cooler is still super cold and we still have ice (9 days and counting). Very pleased!"
"I need a cooler that can keep my catfish bait good for days at a time. This cooler fits the bill!"
"I have 7 Engel coolers, of all sizes and colors. These new tan coolers I got are fantastic."
"Great cooler as usual. We own several of them. All perform as expected."
"Throw this on the bow of the boat, replace a seat, stand in them for casting, keep drinks close. Nothing is more portable and useful. Highly recommended!"
"It is important to have a cooler full if you want to keep the temperature controlled. The Engel 35 cooler is perfect for a weekend trip."
"Bought a blue and a pink Engel 35. We already own an Engel 123, so we already knew the quality is great. One of them came with rubber latches and the other with metal latches. I'll say that I'm not much of a fan of the metal latches, but they work fine."
"I purchased this cooler mainly because out of the brands I've researched this one was the only brand that I found that had a sale going on during black friday and cyber week. Also because I needed a dependable cooler for an upcoming trip down to Florida. Honestly it didn't get much use during the trip but upon the night prior to me heading back home I filled it with 20+ pounds of ice and stuffed it with a decent amount of venison that my friend gave me to take home. Needless to say this cooler performed flawlessly on the 11+ hour roadtrip back from Florida to my home in Mississippi. Upon my return I checked the condition of the meat and it was all frozen solid. Removed all the venison from the cooler and just left the ice there in the cooler just to see how long it would keep the ice. It kept the ice for many days afterwards without much melting. Even when I went to finally empty the cooler it still had a nice solid chunk of ice floating in it. I'll be an engel customer for life because nothing beats an original."
"Great products. Only thing is the latches aren t very study! Both 35 latches broke easily and 65 has one latch left."
