Lifetime 48 qt. High Performance Hard-Sided Cooler

Picked up this Lifetime 48 qt cooler. First, love the colors...so much more fun than all the whites and grays everywhere. Second, this is much lighter than coolers from competitors that I've used. You would think that could sacrifice performance, but I loaded this with a bunch of mini bottles of water for a get-together with family and friends, threw some ice on top, and the water was cold, even in 100⁰ heat. Two enthusiastic thumbs up from me!

We recently used the 48 quart version of this cooler for an overnight trip. It's my new favorite cooler! I've never had a cooler with locking lids. That is my favorite feature. It's sealed right, but still easy to open and close. It won't accidently open. I also like the grip rubber feet on the bottom. It doesn't slide around everywhere when I have it on the ground or the back of a trailer. The rope handles are very comfortable and the rubber grips feel.fine even under heavy load. It is a medium side cooler perfect for a short weekend or day trip (depending on how many people you are packing for, of course). It keeps the ice cold very easily during that time period. The price is more budget friendly than other brands.

Perfect cooler for camping or a day at the beach! This cooler has it all! It contains all the features you want in a high performance cooler. The latches flip open easily, no trying to stretch the rubber and slip them over the hooks. But it still holds the lid down securely. The oversized drain plug is easy to open and close to drain the water out. The lid opens perfectly to stay open and doesn’t try to slam down on your fingers. The bottle openers double as a great place to put a lock to keep anyone from getting into your cooler! Including bears! It’s bear certified so if the worst does happen they’ll give up before getting to your food. Despite being very well insulated it’s still lightweight and easy to carry. The oversized rubber handles make it easy to carry any way that’s comfortable for you. Much better than others hard plastic handles! Even after 3 days of 80+ weather you can see there’s still plenty of ice left! I would feel comfortable with these retaining ice for 5 days camping. This cooler feels very premium and can compete with much more expensive models. The color options really pop in person also!

I had the opportunity to test the 48 court fusion cooler. When I first open this cooler my wife said it gave her pure joy. The color of it is amazing just like a sunset, orange and yellow unlike any cooler I have seen. It has two handles for easy carrying, add two bottle openers on both of the corners. I went camping for 3 days and it kept out items nice and cold. I didn't have to use the things in the cooler until the third day. When opened the cooler the water bottles still had ice in them. I think that is a great sign of a good cooler. The drain is easy to use and convenient to drain the water. I think this cooler is much better than any cooler we have ever had and definitely a lifetime customer for life.
