They do have a website but I've seen them in store for $200. YMMV
Have one since last summer. Loads of complaints online of people breaking handles. It's definitely not indestructible but they seem robust enough for anyone treating it like they want it to last - like luggage handles - you can keep them for a decade and some people will break them on the first use.
I like the rod holder cutouts which allow accessories to be attached to it

Currently have an open ticket with igloo to see what is wrong with it. I put a piece of ice in there yesterday and it melted within an hour. It doesn't appear the inside is even insulated. I am not sure how this cooler works but I think it's more for keeping items cool and not ice cold. I really wish I got a different rolling cooler
The key with ANY cooler is pre-chilling your contents and the inside of the cooler if possible.
If you load it up with a bunch of warm cans and bottles on your way to the beach and throw some ice over it, the ice is absolutely going to melt very quickly, it doesn't matter how good the cooler is.
Typically what I do if I'm loading it with warm drinks is to load everything into the cooler a couple hours ahead of time and then drain off the water and top off the ice right before we hit the road.
Mine keeps ice all day at the beach. We also take it camping and have no problem keeping ice all weekend.

The only real issue I've had with it is the clips on the underside of the of the lid that store the tray did eventually come loose and wouldn't really hold the tray in place. I just unscrewed them and added some small rubber gaskets under, and now they stay in place.
