QA Edit: The price will vary by store stock, zip code or location. Price seems to only be valid if your store has it in stock. If you don't see the OP's $40 price, try another store in your area or another zip code.


The Everbilt 26 Qt. Cooler is designed for river trips, camping, and other outdoor activities. The High-Density Polyurethane Foam insulation keeps ice for 3 to 5-days, with a no-sweat design eliminating condensation on the outside of the cooler. It features Rubber Pad non-slip feet to keep the cooler secure in your vehicle or boat. An interlocking no-fall lid stays up when you're unloading the cooler and carry handles fold away for easy packing in truck or raft. For easy transportation, a stainless steel comfort grip handle is built-in. A drain release is located at the base of the cooler so you can keep melted water out of the cooler and your food.

Premium insulation keeps ice for up to 5 days
Lockable lid prevents animals from getting access to your food or adult beverages
UV resistant exterior designed for extensive outdoor use, wherever your adventures take you
T-handle latches keep the lid secure and provide a water tight seal
Rotomolded, seamless 1-piece construction makes this virtually unbreakable
Built-in pressure release button to allow air into the cooler so that it's easier to open
Internal dimensions in inches are 16.1 in. D x 9.1 in. H x 11.4 in. W

For anyone interested in information from the Manufacturer, they've responded to some people's Home Depot ratings with this information:"Please refer to the ice retention chart on the main product page of our item or listed under the info and guides section as a product brochure. As you can see, the type of ice you use and the temperature outside can change the ice retention time. For best results, we recommend using block ice and keeping the cooler out of direct sunlight."
You can also get dry ice from many Walmart locations. Call ahead to verify.

Your comment cannot be blank.

Doing the math on posted internal dimensions, this Everbilt appears to have about the same internal volume as the Yeti Tundra 35. That Yeti costs $250 and this Everbilt is $40; IMO there is no way the Yeti is 6 times better!

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.
about $200 cheaper but performs the same
Yeti is just Louis Vuitton for men. These are just as functional.

In for 1. Does anyone know if there are baskets from other cooler brands that will fit these?

52q everbilt seems to hold ice longer than other coolers including yeti. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www....oolers.amp

I bought two coolers and went to pick them up at Home Depot. I am not sure if this is common but those rubber handles that are used to seal the cooler are way to hard to pull. I want my wife and child to have access to the cooler as well, so family friendliness is important. I returned the coolers but I was very excited up until that point where I had to pull the handles so hard. The lady at Home Depot could not pull them hard enough to close.

Got one. However the latches are insanely difficult. I pulled the pins out and flipped the latches around, this makes it allot easier to latch now
I don't follow what you did, but I think I would like to -- please elaborate.
Flipping each latch over? Or flipping latches side to side? Or what?

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

Does this cooler really weigh 20lbs?
I went to the store and ended up not buying it because of the weight. Yes it's heavy.

also they need to be 100% full of ice and food.

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?​
Thanks. But I do I understand. Let me explain.

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 Smilie Laptops, like coffee cups, aren't designed to be frozen and then heated.

Physics 101 Smilie

The wise move is to avoid the perils of contraction and expansion.

well let's talk about physics 201 then,

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'd buy if these had wheels. By the time you add the ice and the beer, etc. the cooler is too heavy for me to lift.

Ordered one last night for pick up today. May grab a second if they still have some after checking it out in person. Hard to beat for this price, even with the issues some are describing. I had to look at one of the Coleman's repped here but saw several reviews on terrible hinges so I'm out on that one. I had also picked up one of the walmart brand soft sides at about half off last week so should be in good shape now on coolers!
I love the pressure release and drain on this model.

Glad I got the 72qt ozark from wally world for 45 a few months back. The latches are crazy stiff though. Why can't they redesign it so you can latch it close with a lever for extra leverage?? it does keep things cold for a few days even after the ice has melted.
