Full Kong Cooler Review: www.coolersonsa...
Kong is now at the top of our list of coolers in terms of ice retention and performance. The Kong held ice for 9.5 days with afternoon lid temperatures reaching 100°+ during our testing. However, it was not just the superior ice retention that impressed us.
When we first decided to review and test the Kong lineup of coolers we were told that we HAVE to also test the accessories. Normally, we would brush this suggestion off, because have many accessories can a cooler really have? It turns out, with Kong coolers there are a ton of available add-ons. Accessories that we tested included the "Kicker System," with the full sized cutting board, small cutting board using the divider, finger crush guards, and the corner mounted bottle opener.
We tested a grey and a white 50 quart cooler and noticed about a half day longer of ice retention with the white cooler compared to the grey cooler.
Overall we consider the Kong Cooler Lineup an engineering marvel considering the unique accessories as well as outstanding ice retention.

Don't know if the 50 has this or not, but I have a 70 qrt and it has dual drain plugs too, plus don't forget about the purpose of why the back part the cooler lid is angled. It's so the lid can open when cooler is up against a wall or wall of your truck in which you still open your cooler. I love this cooler. 👍

@joeyl.6448 5 лет назад

The 50 does have dual drain plugs. You can also flip the handles straight up and they will hold the lid open at about a 45 degree angle.

@MM_405 5 лет назад

@Abraham Lopez what are seeing out of your 70qt as far as ice retention? How many days?

@stepbrother3793 5 лет назад

@jessetherrien7851 4 года назад

@@CoolersOnSale Where did you get the Kong that you reviewed from? Are they pretty much direct to consumer sales only? Thanks.

@joeyl.6448 5 лет назад

If you flip the handles straight up after opening the lid, the lid can rest back down on the handles at about a 45 degree angle. Flipping the handles up while seated in the cooler top makes for great handles while riding in a boat too. There is also a drain plug on each side of the cooler.

So my 2 cents on this one.Ive spent way too much time watching every video on YT and reading reviews on all these roto coolers(sick of the cheap coolers).Then Kong started to really stand out among the others.I hate rope handles that swing,of course i need good ice retention.I just got my Kong 50qt white yesterday.Never having owned a roto before,im blown away from the build - latches-real handles for carrying(not ropes)-angled lid for opening-and the extras i will buy later.This video put me over the top.I mean in my case i wanted 4 things and i got it.(1)Ice retention(rated almost tied for 1st)(2)Solid build -its heavy but the handles make it easy for you and usually 2 people to carry(no ropes swaying back and forth)(3)Extras -There are alot of things you can buy and or add to make this over the top(kicker bottle opener dividers).(4)Price - i got mine off of amazon(had gift cards i needed to use).After comparing like wise same size coolers,Kong nailed it because most will hold ice well or even really well.But the design features and build is solid for the price.Plus its made in the usa.She is a real beast of a cooler.Mine was.$269 ish on amazon YMMV.Thanks Coolers on sale.This one is a keeper.

@stepbrother3793 5 лет назад

Just leaving an accurate account. My Kong 50 held ice at least 3 days less than my Yeti of the same size. 2 of the 4 rubber feet came off when I slid it into my truck. I have wrote MULTIPLE EMAILS and they will not even respond now. I communicated with Ashley at Kong one time. They were suppose to get ahold of me and replace my cooler and send a free hat. Thats going on 2 weeks and they will not get back in touch with me now. I hope everyone has better luck than me. Was really hoping the American made cooler that is cheaper than a Yeti would be awesome. My Yeti is 12 years old and not ONE PROBLEM YET. Also, I have been leaving reviews on their website to better inform buyers but they will not post them. Seriously, im not trashing them and trying to sell someone a Yeti. This is just what is happening to me

@CoolersOnSale 5 лет назад

@gustavoflores2789 2 года назад

Awesome engineered cooler BUT still no option for WHEELS though, so how can we say that the company covered all bases. The heaviness of the cooler when loaded makes any cooler tough to move around, your pretty much limited to stationary placements or moving it once in a while for the usual cleaning after it has been emptied. But for most of us that use coolers to take to the beach, family gathering, cook outs with friends it’s not a good option because of the weight. Now if you decide to wait and fill the cooler at your event then now everyone has to wait until the drinks get cold in essence defeating the purpose of a cooler in the first place. Would love to buy couple of the coolers but don’t like the heaviness and limitations that all branded coolers miss out on because of lack of designing a proper wheel set up. Smaller coolers have wheel options, but the point is for the bigger coolers to have them for the variation of drinks that your family and friends want and expect to have. WHEELS PLEASE!!!!!

@timothyhalldin9866 3 года назад

@pearllgarcia6839 5 лет назад

Great idea, it should help ice retention, just like using a foam pad or thick cardboard.

@LongBinh70 4 года назад

But isn't this one of the ones that leaks? And the top shelf/cutting board, kicker and bottle opener are extra-cost options, not included with the cooler. You failed to mention that.

@muaddib1116 4 года назад

Have they fixed the lid gasket leaking? I'd like to get this cooler for a number of reasons, but I was leaning towards going with a Lifetime 77 instead, because it's cheaper and doesn't leak at all.

The cutting board sees like a great idea but it doesn’t seem very sturdy functionally. A cutting board that isn’t sturdy or stable is dangerous

I just bought this cooler along with a bunch of accessories. I don't know about anyone else but my latches will barely stay latched. Minimal effort will pop the latch. One ride in the Jeep on paved road and one of the latches had opened itself. There is little to no tension tension on these latches The cooler is rather useless to me if latches don't stay closed.

@zombieresponder 5 лет назад

It's about a quarter of the price of a similar 12 volt fridge/freezer. I guess if you're only in public campgrounds with easy access to more ice it doesn't make much sense. I have an off grid property with a 3 mile long driveway. Last time I was there it took 45 minutes to drive that three miles(yes, it's that rough), and in some instances, weather events have made the road impassible. Other folks have been stuck there for several days as they simply couldn't get out. A trip to the store up there is a 2 hour round trip on a good day...if the nearest store is open and actually has ice. The "town" consists of a post office and a combination feed store/convenience store. Saying that they "roll the sidewalks up at dark" doesn't quite do it justice. Do the math on your fuel costs + vehicle wear + time + etc. and you'll figure out that $2 bag of ice actually costs a lot more than $2.
