## Description

desertcart.com : Pelican Elite 45 Quart Cooler with Wheels (Tan) : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Icy cold, Extremely durable, Kinda heavy cooler - These things are not cheap to be sure, but I wanted something that would hold up for several days at a time without replenishing the ice. This cooler from Pelican definitely handles that request. The skinny: 1) held ice and keep things frosty in 90F+ temps for 4+ days. Temperature in the cooler never rose above 36. We opened it about 4x a day on average but never for very long. We topped off with 1 more 1/2 bag of ice late on day 4 but it could have gone even longer. 2) holds a lot with still room for your ice; we had: 8 small tetra-pak smoothies, 2lbs of carrots, 12 bottles of Mexican coke, 14 cans of beer, some medication, 6 cups of yogurt (individual), qt. sized zip-lock of sliced turkey, 8 pudding cups, & 3 cycling water bottles and two pints of hummus. 3) the wheels are a big help as this cooler is heavy (+/- 40 lbs) even before you load it up. Plan on two people to lift in and out of the vehicle when full. 4) sturdy as can be. Stand on it, sit on it, cut on it, drop it, etc. It will handle it all with only minor nicks 5) the latch system works well and is easy on everyone's fingers The "bad", tho not really bad: 1) weight, see above. The wheels make this manageable though and they roll over grass, gravel and even sand with ease, but plan on two people to lift it once you fill it up. 2) the drain valve on ours leaked at first (not sweating but an actual leak.) However, with some rubber-handled channel locks you can use the handle of your pliers to slot into the notches on the drain plug and give it some extra torque without damaging the plastic cap. This worked fine and never had a leak after that. 3) the pull handle is, to my taste, a little short for long-legged strider, like me; it occasionally clips your leg when pulling it. However, the wheels roll well enough and the handle is sturdy enough, that you can push it instead which I found easier. 4) bulky--this is not small cooler, plan on it taking up a lot of space in your car or back of your SUV--think medium sized pet kennel I recommend this cooler whole heartedly if you take the above factors into account!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How big are the wheels?**
A: 8" high and 2.5" wide and in my opinion they could be bigger AND it would be awesome if the bottom had skid plates to help it slide up stairs and curbs ect. It's heavy too.

**Q: How long will a cooler full of beer with a couple of ice packs stay cold?**
A: I have this cooler. Its dependent on how much ice you put in and how often you open it. Not sure what kind of ice packs you are talking about but i usually put 20 lbs of ice in when i store beers. I love my cooler because its rugged and will keep things cold for days. I've tested it for 4 days in the back of my truck on a road trip and definitely over packed with beer and not enough ice. I then added a 5 pound ice bag on top mid trip. Everything was still plenty cold when we got home. With saying that if you expect things to stay super cold with a couple small ice packs then your being a little unrealistic. Beer should also be already cold and its best to put ice in your cooler the night before to get it super cold then dump it out and put fresh ice when you pack it with whatever your storing before your trip.

**Q: Would this fit in a standard size cars trunk?**
A: I would suggest you measure your trunk. We have an SUV and Truck, so I can't help you . Sorry!

**Q: Can you use dry ice.**
A: I don't see why not. I've never needed dry ice. The coolers stay plenty cold with regular ice packs. But if I felt I needed dry ice I wouldn't hesitate to put some in these coolers.

Awesome cooler, 10 days later and its contents were still cold.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect size family of 4
*by T***K on July 15, 2024*

Great cooler. Why competing brands that rhyme with shmeti don’t put wheels on large coolers I have no clue. Kept ice 4 days in garage at approximately 80 degrees no problem. Only potential issue is handle seems a bit flimsy but time will tell. Upside is that pelican has lifetime warranty and made in the USA unlike shmetis. This pelican does fit in truck bed w a top. About 2” to spare. Will update with any issues. So far happy with purchase.
