does the scoop have holes to drain water if the ice starts to melt?

Nope. That has not been a problem. Perhaps I drink faster than most. It is a great little ice bucket. Drink up!

yes the water is poured directly into the ice cube chamber. When the ice melts its recreated

it has a plug in the bottom which leads to a plastic tube to drain out of the bottom. it is not insulated, it is just a plastic liner within the resin chest. it worked well and kept our drinks cold.

No, it doesn't. It fits snugly, but it has an opening for pouring and slits to hold the ice. It was meant to be a pitcher for pouring. I like it very much.

No, they have slits for the water to drain. I've had them for at least 6 months now and I'm very happy with them. Very easy to clean.

Yes, there are several small holes in each basket that allow water to drain.

There is a reservoir under the ice compartment. The melt water is used to make more ice.

No drain holes as such but the construct allows water to not bead up and it rolls off. I've not had any pooling.

It will keep the ice melted around the de-icer if the temperature is cold enough. It automatically shuts off if it's too warm outside. If you set it on on ice, it will melt right down through the ice, but I put mine in before it froze. Do not chop a hole in the ice while there are fish inside. The percussion will injure the fish.

Mine doesn't have a drain hole. Yes you could drill one easy. The lid seals pretty good, I've never gotten any water in it. WAIT! I can't believe I never thought of this, you want to use it as a cooler? Nice. Won't stay cold very long without any insulation and in the beating sun. But I like the way you think!

It does not have a drain or a gasket for the lid. I did not want to drain. I use the ice to take items down to Mexico. I then bring fresh and frozen fish back in the ice chest. It serves it's purpose well. The size works perfect for the airlines 50 pound weight limit.

It doesn't. It is like an inflatable raft only smaller. It holds about 4 large salad bowls. I thought that it was well worth the price. I can't recall if it has a drain (someone borrowed mine for a graduation party, can't check right now) but it insulates well enough to hold ice for a couple of hours without melting and is easy to dump the ice, easy to clean.

No, it does not need a drain but does require defrosting every month or so. Only had ours a mint now but have been very satisfied so far, quite running and maks ice fast .

No, it does not have a drain hole. That being said, its fairly easy to tip over and pour out water. I am very happy with it!

Yes, there is a drainage hole. You must put something under the pot to catch the water.

Most pots have holes in the bottom and require a saucer underneath to capture water runoff...this type has no holes, but has an inner chamber that stores the excess water for later absorption. :)

you would need a bucket or something underneath as it has to have a place to drain. or you would just need to keep your stopper in place and scoop out the water/ice when needed
