How long will this cooler keep ice frozen and drinks cold on a hot sunny day.

If you keep it open as pictured every couple hours you will need to add ice (drain out some water) if it is closed it lasted a lot longer

Thanks for shopping this item. Here are several comments on this product: The cooler is made to keep your drinks chilled well over 12 hours. Another user says: I'm not sure but I used it starting at 5pm on a very warm evening and there was still some ice in it the next morning. It kept the drinks really cool and everyone loved it and wanted one! :) Another user says: If you keep it open as pictured every couple hours you will need to add ice (drain out some water) if it is closed it lasted a lot longer....Hope this helps with your decision making....OOME

Ho how are you. Well i actually have not used it as of yet until next month on a house warming outdoors... so i really dont have an answer to that. Im sorry.. but i tell you that is well done to put ice for sure...on the bottom also has a small hole where u can drain the water out as well sort of like a wine cork. Is a bit tough to open and close it but eventually it is manageable.

Not likely I would say it stays cold anywhere from 20-30 min tops then you need to throw it back in the freezer to cool it back down, which also takes about 30 min to make it cold again.

Ours will last 6 to 8 hours. This cooler is nice but does not as well in very humid areas if outside.

I make beer jocky boxes out of them. We do fill them with ice and I have to say the ice lasts 4 to 5 hours sometimes longer if not in direct sunlight

No need to freeze the container. It will keep drinks cold an average of 3 hours due to it's insulation.

My boys usually use them when they go fishing or hiking for the day. They haven't used ice packs, only ice in ziplock bags. This keeps their drinks cold for probably 6 hours or so. I would imagine ice packs would last longer. I bought one for each of my three sons. They all really like the convenience of this cooler.

About 1-2 hours no ice, and around 4-6 hours with ice added for cold drinks in 80+ degrees heat with the top on the tumbler; half those numbers in length of time without the top on in my experience. Wouldn't recommend using this for hot beverages because I would be afraid that the plastic top would melt or warp and it would be difficult to drink something hot through a straw.

I place two small ice packs in with my lunch and it keeps the items cool for 6-8 hours.

I leave ice in it for a couple hours...but it isn't very frozen when I dump it into my freezer. It often clumps together Once dumped in my freezer due to it having started melting. Also if I use the ice straight out of the bucket it melts fairly quickly if its been in the bucket for a couple hours. If you dump it quickly the ice is fine. I don't think you could leave the ice all day and expect it to still be chilled. A few hours at max.

You will need something colder than just ice. The idea is to "freeze" it. Something that cannot be achieved with just a cooler with ice. After taking it out of the freezer it will last 30~40 min.

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

I can't answer about a chart and I'm commenting as a buyer/user, It is the best for keeping my cold drinks cold with ice lasting for sure all day and well into the nite if the cap is in place, the screw in cap. I'd say 15 to 18 hrs, I've never actually timed it. The ice is the ice from my freezer. I take it to work so I'm in a temp regulated building. Last way less time if I leave it in a hot car on a hot day. I have no idea about a hot beverage, did not try it.

I've never used this for hot beverages but it does keep things cold for at least 16 hours.

I'd say it stays cool just as long as my igloo cooler. I usually freeze some small water bottles to keep in the cooler when it's not plugged in.

It's decently insulated. It would keep food drinks cool for a couple hours without ice I'd think. We use cooler packs a lot which are nice because they don't melt

I have not used my cooler under those conditions. However, I take it to an office building loading up my food and drink for the day at 7:00 a.m. and returning to the hotel oftentimes at 8:00 p.m. and my food/drinks are very definitely cold on my return. I like to carry a baggie of ice from the icemaker in the hotel and at the end of the day I still have a significant quantity of ice which has not melted. Hope that helps.

Don't know about an ice pack but will hold ice about 5 hours. Pretty good cooler
