Coleman Company History

W.C. Coleman could see the light for the darkness. The young salesman was taking a stroll after a hard day’s work selling typewriters, and spotted a new type of lamplight in a drugstore window in Brockton, Alabama. This new light burned with a strong, steady white flame and was fueled by gasoline. The standard lamp of the era burned kerosene and produced a smoky, flickering, yellowish light. W.C. was stricken with very poor eyesight, and was very interested in this new, steady white light that enabled him to read even the smallest print in books and on medicine bottles. Coleman saw potential in the new light, and through his vision a new company was born that would put America’s farms and ranches in a new light, and would eventually make his name synonymous with outdoor fun.

Customers like the value of the ice chest. They say it's worth its price, saves them money, and is a great buy.

"...is rated for at least 8 A. They are not hard to find, and do not cost significantly more." Read more

"...a bit on the small side if you have 2 people but overall quite happy for the price" Read more

"...controlled cooler has been the best product, and a great product for the money. We start the cooler about 4 hours before we'll put in the food...." Read more

"...They are pricey, but I did find a Massimo 50qt unit at costco for only 300 bucks (so only twice the price of this thing)...." Read more

148 customers mention144 positive4 negative

Customers like the portability of the ice chest. They say it's great on a car trip, convenient for traveling or camping, and perfect for RVs. They also mention that it'll not mess up during long car rides and is perfect for camping.

"...12 volts but pretty demandingIt will keep your items as cool as a coolerBut note - this is NOT a fridge..." Read more

"Works great! Love this cooler for traveling and groceries." Read more

"...This one you have to purchase separately. Awesome travel cooler." Read more

"Really great for traveling and use in the car. Works great and keeps things nice and cold." Read more

927 customers mention573 positive354 negative

Customers are mixed about the quality of the ice chest. Some mention it works great, while others say it just stops working all together.

"...Worked great on a 12 hour long road trip. Frozen food only got up to 15F, and the refrigerated side stayed around 30-35F for the whole trip...." Read more

"...This works great for inside car, camping if temperatures are below 82 and inside house..." Read more

"...perfectly for us, but you should know that the matching Coleman 120v wall adapter quit working after about 8 days...." Read more

"...So, you may have to do the math.This thing is constructed extremely well, as I would expect from a Coleman product...." Read more

699 customers mention405 positive294 negative

Customers are mixed about the temperature control of the ice chest. Some mention that it maintains everything perfectly cold, while others say that it gets a little warm. The plug does get a bit warm, and the cord/socket gets hot. The thermoelectrics are not great at removing heat quickly, and melted ice will damage the mechanism.

"...Plenty cold for most purposes!Now, unlike some other models, this ONLY comes with a 12 VDC power plug (vehicle cigarette lighter)...." Read more

"...Thermoelectrics are not great at removing heat quickly compared to compressor units, if you place a bunch of warm objects in here, you won't get the..." Read more

"...On that one the cord could disconnect and it switched from heating to cooling depending on how it was plugged in...." Read more

"...leave the cooler in a very hot car without it being on and it kept everything cold. I did use a couple of ice packs just to be sure though...." Read more

93 customers mention31 positive62 negative

Customers are mixed about the noise of the ice chest. Some mention that it runs real quiet, while others say that it is hideously noisy, loud even by NYC standards. The fan starts making a noise and rattling. The exterior fan is large enough to make some noise and may bother some people in a quiet setting.

"...to disconnect power source about 4 times for an hour as the fan starting making a noise, froze up...." Read more

"...Other comments: It's quiet, makes a soft fan noise, average build quality, durable construction.It's a good value...." Read more

"...competitor, but cooling unit flawed & subpar, is smaller and louder than other brand and dangerously flawed with in manufacturing or poor engineering..." Read more

"...A couple times during the week it made a vibrating sound so I unplugged it for a couple hours...." Read more

83 customers mention55 positive28 negative

Customers are mixed about the size of the ice chest. Some mention it's the perfect size and works very well, while others say it'll just too large for their space. The fan size on this Coleman is much smaller, and it'd be too big to sit on the passenger seat or in the foot well. It's also super bulky and did not fit in their travelling car.

"...Standing it up right, it fits perfect in the closets. I purchased a 12v outlet with everything needed to run it to the battery...." Read more

"...both are comparable but the internal fan size on this Coleman is much smaller which leads me to think it will take longer to cool than my other..." Read more

"...Would definitely purchase again. It fit compactly in our space, and after reading other reviews we kept the vent clear while driving and camping,..." Read more

"...it is big, we used a van for the trip, but would easily fit into my sedans back seat, or even the passenger seat...." Read more

204 customers mention50 positive154 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the durability of the ice chest. They mention that it doesn't last long, is not suitable for extended periods of time, and the plug into the 12v charger just doesn' t hold up. They also mention that the transformer doesn''t have a very long service life. The product is not recommended for long-term food storage.

"...very close to mine appears over and over in the reviews; fairly fast failure rate, defective plug that overheats to dangerously hot temp with BURN..." Read more

"...The plugs that plug into the 12v charger just don't hold up. The spring inside the connector has broken on every single one of them...." Read more

"...: It's quiet, makes a soft fan noise, average build quality, durable construction.It's a good value...." Read more

"...So, all-in-all, it's great while it works, awful when it dies so quickly for seemingly no reason other than cheap parts ...." Read more

128 customers mention0 positive128 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the battery. They mention that it blows quickly, the power plug gets hot, and the plastic connector melts. The spring pushing the fuse can't handle the current over a long time. The battery only works for two days before the plug fried.

"...12v cigarette plug style plug had previously got so HOT it MELTED parts of of the plastic, and the plug plastic broke from the head after cooling off..." Read more

"...Turned out the load had blown out the splitter, which blew the car’s 12-volt fuse. Oops!..." Read more

"...It will overheat and fail. Get a power adapter which is rated for at least 8 A. They are not hard to find, and do not cost significantly more." Read more

"...The spring inside the connector has broken on every single one of them...." Read more

I bought one of these things 15 yrs ago. I used it a lot. Last year, it finally gave out. Being without it made me realize how much I appreciated it. I just bought my second cooler. Hope it lasts as long as the first
