Product Name: | 26 qt. High-Performance Cooler with Lockable Lid |
Product Description: | The Everbilt 26 qt. Cooler is designed for river trips, camping, and other outdoor activities. The durable roto-molded construction doesn't dent or crack easily and the High-Density Polyurethane Foam insulation keeps ice cold for 4-days to 7-days. The no-sweat design eliminates condensation on the outside of the cooler and the Rubber Pad non-slip feet keep the cooler secure in your vehicle or boat. An interlocking no-fall lid stays up when you're unloading the cooler and the carry handle folds away for easy packing in your truck or raft. A drain release is located at the base of the cooler so you can keep melted water out of the cooler and your food. |

From what I have read, the trick with these coolers -- if you want the ice to last a long time -- is to pre-chill them the night before (using some milk jugs of frozen water) prior to loading them up for deployment.

I experienced this as well. Found it was a lot easier trying to pull straight down with your body positioned over the cooler instead of down and out at the same time. I imagine they will get easier over time as well

I don't think you understand how electronic products work.
Can you explain what you think might happen if you turn on your laptop when cold?
They create heat. Heat causes things to expand. Cold causes them to contract. If your hardware's insides are cold - let's say temps in the teens or lower, in say central Vermont - and introducing heat expands the components at different rates you're asking for trouble.
Given the delicate nature of these things that expanding and contracting is not something you want to do unless it's necessary (read: rare / occasional). Worst case, let it come up to room temp before introducing heat (i.e., booting up).
Put another way...take a coffee cup and freeze it. Then poor hot coffee into it. Eventually you'll regret doing that Laptops, like coffee cups, aren't designed to be frozen and then heated.
Physics 101
The wise move is to avoid the perils of contraction and expansion.

The way thermal gradients work is that for the same amount of power generation and thermal impedance you will get approximately the same TEMPERATURE rise. The problem you are talking about is related to large thermal gradients, but for the same power and impedance you will have the same gradient or delta between hot and cold components as the unit heats up. i.e. it doesn't make a difference.
Let me also add that I design electronics for military, medical and automotive so I know what you are presuming is wrong.
The things that get you in electronics are: temperature cycling, this is one of the toughest things on devices, rate of temperature change, again causing thermal gradients can be tough, but as I said, you gradient will be roughly the same at cold vs hot temperatures. Also, you need to consider that the temps that we consider hot and cold from a human perspective aren't really significant from an electornics perspective, most electronics components are rated from -20ish to 85C for commercial grade and to -40ish to 125C for industrial, automotive, and military (roughly speaking).
There are a few components that are stressed by absolute temperatures, electrolytic capacitors for instance do not perform well in the -10 to -40C range.
Batteries (because they are chemical) suffer some capacity loss at very cold temperatures too, but, unless you are using them all the time at below zero temps, you won't notice a difference.
So, again, I challenge your concerns and offer that you are worrying about nothing. If anything, your components will probably last longer since the chemical aging will be slower LOL.
I did forget one thing, LCD displays typically have a difficult time at low temperatures, not damaging, but sometimes non-functional in the less than -10C range.
Happy to continue discussion if you want to go to physics 301 LOL. Seriously though, interesting discussion.
I love the pressure release and drain on this model.
