I bought this same cooler in grey from Monoprice back in April for $115 for the start of this season's camping. It's already had a fair bit of use and I have been THOROUGHLY impressed with it. Not a single complaint and this thing is strong and incredibly good at doing its job. While it's big and heavy, I've found that in function it carries as much and ends up lighter than a larger, lower quality cooler, because I have to pack so much less ice. This replaced a Coleman cooler of the same internal dimensions, which I had to fill about 50% with ice, just to go a couple days (barely - things getting dangerously warm by the end). This one only needs maybe 25% ice and is barely even showing signs of warming at all after the same amount of time. I'd HAPPILY pay $115 again if I needed another, and this price is a steal if you're in the market for a smallish rotomolded cooler. And holy heck, after 20 years of camping with that comparative POS Coleman, I wish I'd gotten a rotomolded cooler far sooner. This thing could easily pay for itself in a few years just in saved ice costs even for a casual user. Let alone convenience and reduced food spoilage.

Edited to add - I bought a much larger 85 Quart ROVR at about the same time I made this purchase. The plan was to have the Monoprice cooler be mostly for drinks and things that require frequent opening, and the ROVR for food and whatnot on longer trips. The ROVR replaced an 85(ish?) Quart Colemen Xtreme.... I HAVEN'T EVEN USED THE ROVR ONCE (even though it is, theoretically, the much nicer cooler). What I didn't expect was that because this thing keeps things cold so well, and uses so much less ice, it effectively has a much larger capacity than the 25 Quart cooler it replaced - to the extent that I haven't even had to use my big boy yet. Again, can't properly express how happy I've been with this little thing.

I have had the 80Q of this for 4 years. It is such a good cooler. Yes it's heavy, loaded up I can carry it myself but most of my friends cannot, it's not bad at all with 2 people. It keeps ice forever, 3 or 4 day camping trips are nothing. It's very well built, I just wish it had a slot for a divider.

It was on a discount/sale for 145 shipped (inflation is a pain).

Just bought 2 of these for less than one of them using code "DEAL53" which is listed on the product page in very small type and said it is valid starting today...

The discount code only worked if you bought 2. You could certainly buy one at full price, or you can get 2 for less than the price of one...

Guess it was a glitch. Now you just need to buy one. Discount code still applies.

Yes. The "glitch" was that yesterday the cooler was on sale for 90-something and to use the coupon code, you needed a higher minimum order. So I added another cooler and it took off the coupon code twice. Hence 2 coolers for the price of one. Let's see if they ship...

So I had an opportunity to use this cooler twice now and it is amazing for car camping. Doesn't require much ice and retains ice very well. It does require a pre-cooling though. My only complain is that white color gets dirty very quickly

I'm new to this type of cooler. How do you do the pre-cooling? TIA

Did yours ever end up shipping? I ordered as well but mine is still "in progress." Haven't called.
