[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best cooler I have ever used. Not only is it extremely durable but the length of time it held a cold temperature control is amazing, 14 hours after loading it up and sitting in the sun all day and the beverages were colder than when I put them in the cooler. Love the ease of carrying and the roughed latches.

This cooler is perfect for weekend road trips and picnics by the beach. It carries everything we need without being too bulky or big.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love the MaxCold Dummit 25 by Igloo. It's such a great cooler. It’s a decent size, is very durable, and is made of great quality materials. I use it when grocery shopping all the time. I live an hour away from the grocery store and it keeps everything nice and cold on my drive home. It’s a nice size too and holds a good amount.

This cooler really has everything I was looking for in a performance cooler. The insulation is great. It has secure closing tabs. It has a drain plug. It has a bottle opener. It is a little on the heavy side but all of the good in this cooler cannot happen without some weight. Having said that, this cooler is much lighter than many of its competitors. Some folks dig on coolers not keeping cool as long as advertised. It is important to realize that if you put ice/drinks/food in a warm cooler you are bound to have some initial melting just to bring the temperature down. Add some ice prior to using the cooler and it will last really well. No question it's a great deal for what you get.

The trail mate cooler is the perfect size for the backseat of your car. Having the ability to keep ice upwards of 4-6 days is a great feature when traveling. The drain plug, which many coolers don’t have anymore in this size, allows you to urge water and add needed ice. For two people traveling we find it the perfect size for our needs. Also the weight of the cooler was a big factor in this purchase

I like the Trailmate 25. It is big but not bulky or too heavy like some coolers in this size range. It has a metal handle with a nice rubberized grip on it. While similar to other models Igloo offers, this cooler has a seal in the lid, improved rubber latches, drain plug, and heavy duty hinges on the back. It is made in USA which I appreciate and is very solid. Not sure how many total days it can retain ice, since I only use for weekend use. I hope this lasts me many years. Overall I would recommend this cooler . Minor issues that could be improved: 1. I would like the handle to "lock" in the upright position to reduce the cooler from swaying side to side while carrying it. 2. The notches where the rubber latches secure are hollow underneath. This allows the latches to scrape/scuff the plastic edges which could possibly wear down overtime. 3. The drain plug could be a tad lower in the cooler so it doesn't have to be tipped to drain the last remaining water. 4. I added no-skid furniture pads to the bottom to reduce scratches and scuffs and increase grip for transportation.
