Customers enjoy the Venture 45-Quart Cooler for its excellent ice retention and durability. Many customers mentioned that it is a great value for the price and appreciate the included accessories. While some find it a bit heavy and wish it had wheels, most agree that it is the perfect size for road trips and camping.
My main reason for two stars is the choice of delivery method. The shipping label was put directly on the cooler... there was no box or protection. While I can appreciate avoiding packaging waste, my cooler arrived with several gouges and black marks. Also, there is adhesive residue on the cooler from the tape and packing slip. I don't plan to keep my cooler perfect because it will be used hard, but it would be nice to receive it in new condition. As for the cooler, I have a positive initial impression. The latching mechanism is a bit more involved than a yeti style cooler, but works well. The accessory system actually seems relatively useful, and I appreciate that they include at least a few accessories to get started (tray and bottle opener). I do intend to get a divider, as I think that will be useful. The handles are personal preference. They do take up more space than the rope style handles, but I like the positive connection I have to the cooler when carrying a lot of weight. That's why I focused my search on Cabela's/pelican/OtterBox style coolers. Ultimately it came down to a good sales price. Other than the disappointing shipment, I'm excited to put this cooler to use.
