Can I use this as a cooler and put ice and drinks in it?? Will it keep form or too flexible??

I think it would be fine! Sounds like a great idea. The trug is very sturdy.

Yes you can; in fact we have done it and the nice thing about them is that they are flexible and can be moved :0) I have also used them for hauling river rock, laundry, toys, and puke catcher for the LO's , Just take a hose to them and they are clean!

It is very flexible. I would think it would hold your ice and drinks fine, I just don't know how much weight the handles will support. The trug is about 1/4" thick and the stuff I place into it does not effect the shape other than make it more oval or round depending on if I place sticks or flexible weeds. In other words, the sides do not conform to that I place into the trug. So, six-packs, ice, bottles, I would think would be fine. Just be cautious of the handles.

Use it in Vegas as a fridge for drinks. Works with ice...no leaks! Love it!

I have for short periods, but it may not be a good idea. The heating/cooling element is on the side of the cooler. I would imagine if the ice melted enough that water got in there, it could damage it. Maybe if you did ice in milk jugs or something.

Hi, sorry for the delay. I am not 100% sure, I have not tried it. I have only used mine during the summer to hold ice water, it stays cold for a really long time.

Technically the answer is no. Because the cooler isn't a freezer the inside temperature will be higher than a freezer. But with that said, this will keep things cold for a long time. I brought this to the desert once and after sitting in the sun for days there was still some ice left, no much ice, but impressive none the less.

I have this. It's for keeping ice from melting. I'd say no for brewing. It's just not that type of container. It's great for keeping ice as it has a liner that fits into the outer shell, container shown. Good wishes!

I've never tried to put ice in this bag. I purchased some of those container coolers. I wish the bag had thicker insulation though.

This cooler will fit in that opening but requires LOTS of air space all around the unit to reach even a temp of 50 degrees in the top (6 bottle) compartment. It vents to the back. Even with ideal conditions (cool room and lots air space all around) the bottom unit will not cool below 55 degrees. I have the top set to 50 degrees and the bottom to 60 degrees and the unit runs 24/7, non-stop. I feel it is only a matter on time until it quits. Knowing what I know now, I would not buy this unit.

I think for a short term party it would be fine being used as an ice bucket cooler as mine is sealed on all joints. I would still use a plastic liner to protect it. It's a very nice bucket.

Hello. It really depends. If you keep it closed, and not let heat in until you reach your destination, it should work just fine.I would use the hard shell and fill with ice. Good luck. I love mine.

Yup. It won't cool though. And be careful with the hot, it broke on me immediately - if there is no water, it will short out immediately. But the cold is the best. Everyone here who tries it loves it. I did not bother returning it for that reason.

I wouldn't fill it but it could hold a supply of water or ice. Don't try to move it when even partially full.

Yes. It is still very flexible if something hits it. It is more durable than many of the cheaper ones on the market that I have used. My zipper pull broke the first week on the job, but a paper clip works as a substitute. In my case, I have since gone back to using a rigid plastic cooler that doesn't leak water.

no you best bet will be a regular cooler. I put a large ice pack in mine and by the end of the day it has melted, but it keeps it cool/cold until lunch but I am not in that extreme heat

It's not a "dainty" cooler. I rather like it - I can take lunch AND supper in it - with ice to keep the supper cold for many hours. Lunch on the outside to stay warm, salad on the outside. I'd probably hate to lose it!

No, and I wouldn't recommend putting ice in the middle. it is rally just for dry storage of glasses and bottles.

I don't see why not.It is not going to drip and it will be unique to use as a cooler for any occasion.
