will the hard liner stop melted ice from leaking throughout the cooler (if it remains upright)? or are ice packs a better option?

Yes, the liner is a hard plastic insert that will not leak and it is antimicrobial so melting ice is no problem unless it tips over.

yes, it is a solid plastic bucket not a plastic film....I hope that helps, Ed

Hardliner is solid, so no leaks should occur if kept reasonably close to upright. I use ice packs myself, but either should work.

Yes, you must use a caulk gun. Perfect for a cooler, repair. Be sure surface is clean/dry & sand lightly.

These aren't really intended to hold ice for a long time. They are more a simple cooler/dry box. If you want long ice life, look at the Engel ENG25

I use mine as separators. I have a soft side cooler on one side and tools on the other. It keeps the cooler from being damaged.

The cooler has a hard plastic liner. If the cooler tips, then likely yes it would leak a bit

Not designed to compact; per other replies semi hard plastic liner is NOT removable. It does keeo ice rather well however; no leaks after several hard months of use.

Putting a tray of ice behind a fan does nothing more than create a puddle on whatever surface you place the ice tray on. If you want your air cooled, you will need an a/c unit, period. Btw, I suggest not dripping any liquids on your fan.

I have a retractable tonneau cover but have noticed water between the bed and tail gate mainly because it froze. Even with it frozen and opening and closing the tail gate the liner stayed in tact. I really like the liner somehow it seems to keep stuff I put in the bed in place where it would have otherwise slid around.

It does not have a "hard" liner. It is an insulated final that has a little flexibility to it and is very sturdy. Recently we used this Thermos cooler and another similar one from a different manufacturer on the same day for the same purpose (holding cold, canned drinks). The Thermos cooler outperformed the other one by leaps and bounds. The ice in the other one had turned to water, while the Thermos cooler still was filled with ice cubes. Great insulation!

I am pretty sure it can't. As the directions indicate, and as you can see by the fittings (when you get the product) that it's specifically designed to be placed on a FLAT surface. If you are using a ROUND igloo cooler then it probably won't work. It will leak. Maybe one of the flat square coolers might, if you used calking or some sealant around the edges, but like Blue Garden said it's gravity fed so having it on the bottom is best.

When I used my cooler (outside in the heat!) I put ice in the top storage area and also in the side hole where you put in the water. And yes, it blew out cold air.

I only put ice packs and they don't leak when they melt. The water collects in the lunch bag. Not sure about straight ice.

Nope. The item I ordered and received only had a removable hard plastic liner. There was no mention of a cooler pack when I ordered.

Haven't tried it but looking at the soft liner I would think it would eventually leak because of the seams. Try putting the ice in ziplock bags doubled up.

There is not a hard liner. But it is a very well insulated soft interior. There is a flat "pocket" attached to the inside to put a freezer pack in as well (not included). But I've been very happy with mine so far! My wife and I have taken it to outdoor music events to keep some food and drinks cold. It's very durable and well constructed. Lots of pockets and the quick access on the top is pretty handy too! Hope this helps! You won't regret your purchase though!

No I do not believe it would hold ice without leaking. I usually use freezer packs to keep the contents cold.

I had bought this as a cooler for putting in cold items and yes, to put ice in as well. It has leaked since day 1 and I need to exchange it. But I wasn't sure if there would be an issue because the manufacturer may be treating it as a lunch type box. So, I've had leaks even well below the zipper line.
