Recently purchased this cooler after going back and forth whether I wanted a cooler to stack my beach gear on or a beach cart. We just went to a week vacation at the beach and the cooler performed with flying colors. I stacked on top a 10x10 canopy, 2 adult beach chairs and a kids beach chair all held in place with the bungee cords and the cooler rolled fine over pavement and sand. In addition to having that on top, I also had drinks and sandwiches in the cooler along with a bag of ice. I was nervous reading the bad reviews of the handle, but I pulled mine for a week and the handle is still there. I will say the latch to close the cooler is not great, it is a little flimsy and plastic. Other than that I could not find a cooler with bungee or wheels this big for this price anywhere. Ice kept for about a day in the florida sun. As an update 9/29/17. I purchased when it was 77$ over the summer. I guess since it was summer now they lowered it to 59$. Anyone looking to buy this cooler that is on the fence, for 59$ just go ahead and make the leap, don't hesitate anymore. There is even a pic on here in a review that isn't even the cooler that you are buying here, it doesn't even have the latch in front in that bad review. Since the summer I have used this cooler many times much more than I expected. Being in Miami I used it during the hurricane, transport food and drinks to in laws house. This cooler has really help up. Yes the handle probably could use some improving, but mine hasn't broken yet. I guess with the sand of the beach it did get stuck and was really hard to lower, but I just apply wd-40 a couple times and makes it run smooth again. The wheels, well are amazingly huge. I have lugged the cooler up stairs without have ti carry it, the wheels just walk up the stairs perfectly as I pull it. Get this cooler it is awesome for the price.
UPDATED JULY 2020:
So as I reviewed before this update is to state that my cooler is still in tact and running as it was on day 1. I still for the price have never found a cooler with the big wheels and the bungee cords which are life savers to be able to stack noodles and floats. I primarily use this for out week long stays at the beach where we rent a house so we drive to the beach and I pull the cooler along a sidewalk and across the sand and it never lets me down. I see some complain about the latch, while it's not the best latch ever. mine still works. Like everything else it's how you take care of your things. I'll state again, the pull handle after I use it at the beach for a week does get a little stuck with the sand particle that I guess get in there. But wd40 does the trick everytime. During the year while it's stored in my garage I will also wd40 it maybe once or twice more and it makes it smooth again. Best cooler ever that doesnt cost 300$.
