    Bought this cooler on sale as a Yeti alternative. Read a lot of good reviews before making the purchase and it did not disappoint when I received the cooler. Used it for camping last month and was impressed with the solid design and optional accessories. It also held ice very well. So, far so good. I might consider getting a bigger version.

    Good Cooler But Bulky

    The cooler is built well but the downside is it's bulky and somewhat heavy and does not fit as much as I expected. It would be easier to transport if it was on wheels and had an extendable handle. Fold down side handles would also be an improvement. It will hold ice for 4-5 days but not 10 days as some claim. The plastic also scratches somewhat easy.

    Purchased the small OtterBox cooler to use while grilling , perfect compliment to my BGE ..... i was able to hold temp on pulled pork for 5 to 6 hours as i completed the rest of my meal on game day . Don’t know if i would pay 200 plus , but Best Buy had it as deal of the day !!!! Awesome half price sale

    I got lucky and caught this on sale for $175. Not sure if I would have bought it at $225. It’s extremely useful because it keeps things cold. Imagine that: a cooler that keeps things cool! Plus mine is in camo coloring. So, it’s obvisouly better than any other version.

    perfect except for the outer and tub material is easy to scratch and gouge as many other brands and i can even scratch it with my fingernail. For a name like otterbox i feel a bit disappointed as i expected a tough box deserving of the otterbox name!!!

    Good cooler but some flaws

    I needed a long lasting cooler but did not want to splurge for the all-powerful Yeti. I saw this cooler on sale and decided to take the leap. I was swayed by Otterbox's claim that it could hold ice for up to 10 days and thought it was a good deal. After using it several times in mild ambient temperatures I can say with certainty that the claim is false. I was able to pack it with about 16 beverage cans and the rest ice. The cooler held for about 4 days until all that remained were the cans and water. Additionally, the attachable clips for various Otterbox containers are unnecessary and just clutter the cooler.

      Hi djnavy734,

      We apologize that this Venture Cooler isn't quite stacking up to expectations! It is definitely odd that the ice in the unit was only able to last four days, since as long as the ice to content ratio is solid and the cooler isn't opened too often, the ice should stay for up to ten days. To increase ice longevity, we would suggest pre-cooling the actual cooler the night before, as this gets the unit ready to go. Additionally, try using blocks of ice rather than ice cubes - these have proven to last longer.

      If you continue to experience issues, please feel welcome to call our wonderful Otters at 1-855-688-7269. They'll always do whatever they can to help out!

    This is our second one purchased. Liked it so well that we got another one. Only downside is that when it comes, it isn't in a box so you might have to use some cleaner to spiff it up. I used lighter fluid and it worked like a charm

    I got tired of my old coolers never keeping the contents cold more than 12 hours, I will say this one does a great job of keeping stuff frozen or cold as required. The reason for 4 vs. 5 stars the exterior size is big compared useable interior.

    Got this cooler as a Deal of the Day purchase for a great price. A little smaller on the inside than I would have thought, but kept everything cold in it inside my car on two 90+ degree days.

    Very very good insulation on this cooler. It isn't a huge compartment, but big enough to hold a case of water bottles with a bag of ice. Lasts for days. If this one is on sale, it is just as good and the more expensive brand.

      Hi there!

      We typically expect a bit longer ice retention times for the Venture Coolers, but we have some tips that should help keep that ice around longer! Around 24 hours before you need to use the cooler, we suggest tossing some ice into your cooler to "pre-cool" it, then drain any water that's melted off, and add new ice. This ensures that your fresh ice isn't melting as it tries to lower the initial temperature of your cooler!

      If that doesn't help, give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269, and we'd be more than happy to troubleshoot this a bit further for you.

      Best,
