Great Purchase
I bought this cooler just over a week ago. I filled it up with ice and kept it inside the house at around 70°, the cooler still has about 25% of the ice left in it. I am really impressed. The cooler is super well built, right here in the USA! As far as I’m concerned I will never have to buy another cooler.

Sturdy and Stout! Keeps Ice Cold!
I'm thrilled with my new Venture 45! This cooler is heavy duty! I've had ice in my Venture for over a week at this point just to see how long it will last. Very satisfied with this new addition to my outdoor gear supply. I recommend the Venture 45 very highly!

Great cooler, but very heavy
I bought this for my husband and we are so excited but it’s extremely heavy. I guess we’ll look into buying the wheels accessories bu they’re as expensive as the cooler!

Love it!
Got this a week ago and the bag of ice I put in it to cool it down is still there. Just a hand full of water more than half of bag is still ice cubes! So much better than the one I had. And it’s a true 45!

Best high end cooler on the market!
Congrats to Otter for addressing all the short comings of the current premium coolers on the market - sloped inside for drainage, latches on the cooler body and not on the lid, attachment points, built in handles, dividers, dry storage, etc. The list goes not. And it keeps ice for a super long time. Make sure to prechill your cooler for the longest lasting ice!

Early crush
I just got my cooler. I really like the color options. So far I wish that Otterbox made an 35 L cooler. 45 is almost to big/bulky for my needs and it’s really heavy (empty). But have not had a chance to test out the cooling and ice retention.

A little too heavy
I bought this so that my wife and I would be able to go on some trips. She needs daily TPN infusion and the medicine needs to be refrigerated. I liked that the cooler had a good ice retention rating which is why I purchased it. Unfortunately the weight of the cooler is a little awkward for me to handle by myself, since my wife is not able to assist me, and once I add her medicine the combined weight is too heavy for me.

The best cooler I have owned
I got this on Friday morning and used it starting the following Sunday morning for a 9 day camping trip in Bakersfield/Taft, California area. 3 20 pound bags of ice instead 6 bags. I kept it in a folding wood box because I recreate Middle Ages.

The 45 is a honest 100!
I used the 45 for the first time last weekend, storing my food and beverages for three days and only one block of ice. Outside temperatures hovered in the 90's, and I left the cooler in the sun to test it's ability to reflect sun, keep ice, and chill my items. Both food and drinks got colder over the weekend, with minimal ice loss. Attractive design and form functionality in the handles, secure lid closure, and I really like the latch system.

Worth every penny!
The first time we used it on a Summer camping trip we had 30 beers in it with 20lbs of ice. The ice lasted 6 days, unfortunately the beer didn't make it past the 2nd day :)

Best Purchase Experience Ever
The cooler and accessories I bout were really some of the best and most thoughtfully made ones that I have seen.
My cooler and gadgets arrived in a neat clean and well packed pair of boxes. I bought a cupholder and cutting board, divider, 5 pound ice block, dry box and clip. I really love the way it looks and especially the way it works. My wife got home and it was all set up in the middle of the living room. We decided to have dinner in front of the TV that night using our cooler and cup holder as a coffee table.
The next day we used it to go to a grocery store several towns away from us, and brought back some chilled items. It worked great. We can’t wait to take it camping, we have other premium coolers, but they don’t really perform like we want. They’re too heavy and their volume is not what was claimed. I can’t wait to use my new OtterBox cooler.

This cooler actually MADE ice
We bought the 65 L cooler. My husband put some ice in it and it sat in the car for a few days. It was hot and the cooler had been opened a bunch of times. The ice had melted a little so he put an ice pack in the bottom before his trip home. When he got home I went to unpack the cooler to find that the water had refrozen. I've never had a cooler actually MAKE ice before. So, we bought this 45L model for my dad!

Field Construction engineer
Being a field construction engineer for the state of florida, my food and fluids need to stay cold all the time while I'm on the construction site!! My truck sitting out in the sun can get up to 200 degrees inside and my cooler needs to meet the demand of keeping everything cold.

2 keys!?
Cooler seems pretty good. Haven't put it through extensive use yet. Why on earth would you give me 2 keys for 1 cooler? Paid $100 for bear proofing on top of the cooler and you send me 2 locks with their own key. Makes zero sense.

Looks cool but doesn’t perform
Hate to say it but the cooler didn’t perform the way I would have hoped. Had a great weekend to test it out. 90deg. Out and high humidity, did the 2:1 ratio with ice and had the waters in the fridge the night before so they were already chilled when I put them In the cooler. Long story short all the ice was melted by morning. I will give it another test soon but very disappointed it performed the same as my generic cooler.

The Otter 45
I have just purchased the Otter 45 and will say this is one well built cooler. I think now there are a lot of solid wall coolers to choose from but be careful who makes them. This company has done it right the little extras like separator and side table/cutting board just make this a winning system. The handles were a different thing to me but I won’t worry about loosing grip or them breaking. It’s ice retention rate was good I live in Florda so you want the most insulated as you can afford. This smaller size works for ATV and boat ice/food perfectly. I think you will see some additions to the completions lines based on what this OtterBox has already provided.

Not exactly what I expected for price
It is as rough as suggested but the claim that I’ve would sustain for 14 days is a bit deceptive. I have to pack the cooler the same way I packed a much cheaper cooler. And in addition because of that it does not hold very much food and drink

I'm so happy that I decided to buy this cooler!
I wanted to have a cooler that didn't make ice soup after the first day, was made in the US, and didn't get caught up in the NRA drama. This fit the bill! As a bonus, my 4 year old daughter can operate the latches. This cooler has already made it on a few trips with us, and it fits well in the back of our car.
My only complaint is the retaining strap on the drain. It is very rigid and is annoying to use.

Best Cooler Ever
We spend most of our time on outdoor adventures where the only refrigerant we have is a cooler. We cannot begin to express how impressed we are with how our Otterbox 45 performed. We spent 10 days on Lake Powell (in the high desert at approx. 4000 ft) with temps well above 100 (nighttime temps in the 70s). The Otterbox 45 was loaded with dry ice at the bottom, cardboard, frozen food, loose ice, and then newspaper to fill in any air gaps. After 10 days, food was still frozen. Amazing! I would buy a second Otterbox in a heartbeat. The price is reasonable compared to its competitors, and it's performance is unbeatable.

Really like it
I purchased this cooler instead of a another company's based on a political stand they recently made and I am really impressed with this cooler. The only problem I have had was with the drain plug which did not fit properly out of the box. It will not hand tighten all the way, you must use pliers to do that, and upon contacting the Otterbox Support and being open to just a replacement plug as opposed to an entire cooler replacement, it was suggested that I use a hardware store threaded plug until they had replacements in stock to give me. That is the only thing that kept me from giving this cooler a overall 5 star rating.

hardy box, wilderness/kid proof
We bought this cooler recently and just returned from a four-day music festival were this hard box of coolness kept us sane for four days of heat and rain. The box kept the items ice cold and was easy to drain when needed. We ended up using about a bag and a half of ice the whole time to keep things fridge cold (days in the upper 80's), but this would be less if the 10 people in camp weren't continually using. I can't speak for being bear proof, but the latches kept the kids out and crayon was easy to wash off after an early-morning art session gone wry. Overall, a tad heavy, but worth what it provides - safe, cool storage of anything you desire.
