CaterGator CG100REDW Red 110 Qt. Mobile Rotomolded Extreme Outdoor Cooler / Ice Chest

Because the wheels are too small, it is virtually impossible to pull this cooler when it is full. Unless you hold the handle up way too high (which is extremely difficult because the cooler itself is VERY heavy). This completely defeats the whole purpose of it's use. We have gone to putting it on a rolly rack so that we can get some use out of it, but this is an embarrassing design flaw and should never be purchased.

Made a great gift. Better than my yeti cooler. I like the wheels and handles. On the heavy side but thats the quality behind it!

I bought this cooler for 5 day camping trip where the weather averaged in the high-eighty’s. The cooler worked great and kept all the food cold and retained the majority of the initial ice we added at the beginning of the trip. The key was to pre-chill the cooler that morning before our trip and make sure all items that are added to the cooler were also cold. On the fourth night, I convinced myself that this cooler was bear resistant and left it out of the bear box and that night the bear put my cooler to the test. Unfortunately, the cooler got destroyed however the bear was not able to penetrate though the interior plastic and we were able to pull all the remaining food out unscathed. I would say this is a well built cooler that has excellent ice retention and would consider this *bear resistant*. I hope to buy a replacement since I believe this cooler is very well built and I liked it a lot.

We bought 2 for our company events. It keeps the items very cold for days, which is great. However, there is a design flaw. When it is full it is exceedingly heavy and very hard to transport. If the handle was closer to the bottom, so you could lift and then carry it without hitting the back of your legs it would be more useful. But as is, you can only lift it a few inches off the ground and you can't even begin to take normal steps. We had very strong men moving them, and they were dying. We had 2 men carrying each cooler and they found it very difficult. I have to now buy rolling carts so we are able to use them since our events are offsite.

Bought this for hunting to cool meat down and keep it cool without refrigeration. I placed a couple of gallon jugs of water fully frozen and a couple of gallon ice cream pails full of water mostly frozen into the cooler to cool it down at the start of my trip and was curious how long it would last. After 2 days in my car with temps in the 90's during the day and 70 degrees overnight there was still some ice in the jugs. I was quite surprised since these coolers work best when packed with cold/frozen items and what I placed inside was nowhere near capacity. When I actually had meat to place in the cooler I layered it with ice, full to the top and left the drain open for liquid to be released. It was around 50 degrees overnight and after 12 hours of melting (from Read More

We ordered this for our foodtruck. The ice retention is compairable to the pricey brands. i like the wheels because this thing can get very heavy.

So far it looks to be a solid cooler, it shipped quickly to me (Utah) took about 3 days. Quality feels compatible with other big name brands, overall I would recommend this to someone, mine will be used for hunting, solid cooler especially for someone on a budget.

7 hour trip with frozen goods and ice. When I arrived at my destination the ice was melting and frozen stuff was thawed. Not really what I was looking for.

Dissatisfied, Basically nonfunctional to wheel. I purchased for the ability to wheel to save having to carry or dolly coolers and first time using was incredibly frustrating. I didn’t bring dolly thinking would be able to wheel… even just a short distance was impossible. Did hold ice reasonably well.

We bought it for using on multi day river trips. Fits my 14' raft and nrs frame. A bit taller and narrower than ones designed specifically for rafting. It's on the cheaper end of the price spectrum and that fits with how well it holds ice. It definitely does NOT hold ice as well as the expensive ones. I put a cooler pad on top to help insulate it better and we have to run a wet blanket over the top to help keep it cool. The build seems good. We have not had problems with warping like others have stated, but we do have to make sure the lid pins are not falling out, which is one of my biggest complaints. Wish it had more slots for dividers as well.

WOW!!! This cooler is one heck-of-a-cooler! Great construction -- great value -- it's like a twin to Yeti but better price.

After owning plenty of coolers over the years this one was a home run. I was looking for a large cooler with Yeti, RTIc, Igloo, Coleman and more I ran across the CaterGator brand. I loved my Coleman extreme for years until they cheapen up the lid. I have the yeti 65, but it does not have wheel option. The CaterGaor has wheels, bottle opener and two cup holders built in. So far this cooler looks built very well. Yes, it is heavy, but what do you expect. We do a lot of entertaining at the house, tailgating at the local college and also sometimes do huge amounts of meat in the Sous Vide. So this cooler will not only be for keeping this cold, but also for keeping things warm at a steady temperature. In short I took a gamble and I won. If I need another cooler I will come here first.

Love it!! perfect size for arr camping needs, and we bought another for are drinks(BEER)

This thing is heavy!! Fully loaded with drinks and ice it takes 2 really strong people to lift it. Even trying to roll it its still super heavy. Have you ever had someone ram into your heels in the store with a grocery cart. Be prepared this cooler will eat your heels alive. It Holds ice really well. Also it holds wine bottles upright. A question I asked but customer service did not have the answer to is will it fit a full restaurant pan. The answer is no. Its just a touch smaller which makes the pan tilt a little to the side. Too bad I'm sure it would have worked awesome holding hot stuff.

We received the 110qt cater gator cooler and absolutely love it! It’s met all of our needs and holds ice exponentially well!

Great cooler, great price, fast delivery!

Best cooler ever! Kept items cold and ice still in it for over 5 days! Crazy!!

This cooler is tough and hardy! We've used a lot of coolers over the years and none have held up well or held up long. This cooler is built solidly, and I love how the lid is firmly attached so it won't break off easily. It keeps things cold very well! I haven't used it for long-term ice storage yet, but based on my current experience, I'm positive it will do very well. The only 2 cons I have found so far are the weight and transportability: - It is decently heavy, but it is worth the tradeoff for solid construction. - The rope handle makes it tough to get a good way to pull the cooler, especially when it is full. The smallness of the wheels and no-slip pads on the bottom does make it hard to move. Overall, I would purchase more of these if the need arises, because the pros outweigh the cons.

We are very happy with the build quality and functionality of our CaterGator. It is a very large Ice Chest, which is perfect for our needs. It held a lot of food/drinks and kept everything cold all day.

The cooler is well built. The latching system is very easy to use. The cooler however only held ice for two days before melting in 65 degree weather.

Bought this cooler for our trip to the beach. Ice was completely melted when we got there and we had to add ice everyday! Thought it was going to be a very good one for as good as it sealed. Very disappointed!

Great cooler so far! I had bought an igloo high performance cooler that claimed 5 days of cold ice retention and it was terrible. After I returned that I got this one and the difference is night and day. I saw a report somewhere that claimed this held Ice for 10 days but in less than ideal circumstances (sitting outside warm, not filled much, low amount of ice) this thing shined. I filled it with just the little ice that my freezer made and threw some sodas in it overnight and sat it outside and I was surprised there was still ice in it the next day. Impressive when the igloo wouldn’t hold ice overnight and those were the best conditions possible. Would recommend!

HEAVY, very, very heavy. Lots of room though. When I ordered it, I remember there being the claim that it holds ice for 10 days. Well, maybe in an airconditioned ballroom. I notice that claim is nowhere to be found now. I got 1.5 to 2 days, 3 days max if you put enough ice to take up half the room in it. I will admit it was really hot on my camping trip (Texas triple digits) but I thought it should have gotten at least half of the claim. I did make sure it was never sitting in the sun. I have another trip planned for the fall, hopefully it will do better in a bit cooler weather.

Decent cooler - wait for sale price. Can tell the difference in build quality when comparing to other brands - thus the ability to sell at lower price. This is the only reason I didn't go full 5 stars. Drain plug is a prime example. It feels super cheap and the gasket will need to be upgraded immediately (super cheap foam). Hinge seems decent - I would caution against tossing this thing around too much. Seems like it would not do well/last long. I don't intend on moving this around much - it's for my backyard/move to the front for evenings with neighbors/block parties. Wheels are awesome as this thing would be awkward to move, even if half full, with the rope handles (no idea why these coolers use rope - more substantial handles would be a welcomed product upgrade).
