This seems to be a decent deal. Not great reviews, but some are complaining of the plug getting rolled over or ice not lasting 5 days. I just need ice for a day and will be careful with the plug. There are so many coolers out, I'm not sure what to compare this with. But a similar Coleman 50qt Extreme 5 ...which looks to be the same, is $45. Not sure if just the color is different being dark blue.
This fits my need as it's not too big and it has a handle.

For $20, this is an excellent cooler, picking up a second.
For long or hot weather trips, dry ice in the bottom also works. Wrap a slab or two in a towel, then use pre-frozen water bottles on top of that as your other main ice, with everything else on top of those.
Not quiet a Yeti or an Orca or any other animal-inspired grey cooler, but for the regular price these can't be beat. $19 is a steal.

I saw some tests and reviews of different coolers a while back, and the high-end, high-dollar coolers were actually not that impressive. A Coleman Extreme and an Iglooo Marine Something-something didn't lag that far behind the pack. The fancy ones are all good but not magic. In fact, if you already have a big cooler or two, you're probably better off using a few bucks worth of dry ice for longer trips than investing heavily in new coolers.
