Customer Q&AAsk a Question
How long will a CaterGator cooler hold ice?
Ice retention relies on a variety of variables, including ice quality, type of ice (cubed, crushed, dry, blocked), ice quantity, environment, sunlight exposure, and much more. Due to the diversity of external factors and the lack of industry standards for ice retention measurement, precise timeline claims are difficult to accurately predict. Often these ice retention claims (X number of days) are generated from simulated environments and are not practical in the real world.
These high performance CaterGator coolers, however, offer virtually indestructible, triple insulated polyethylene construction that, given our thorough testing, offer unbeatable ice retention for all your adventures. To maximize your ice retention, minimize exposure to direct sunlight and other impacting variables.
My cooler leaks from the lid when it’s turned on its side or flipped upside down. Does this mean it’s not sealing?
No. These coolers are designed to remain right side up. The weight of the lid, the gasket, and locking the latches creates the seal. Once tipped, this weakens the seal of the lid gasket and can cause water to seep out.
My cooler lid seems to be stuck because of a vacuum seal. How can I open it?
To release the vacuum seal on your cooler, slightly twist open the drain plug to release the pressure, then open the lid. Be sure to do this in a location where any drained liquid won’t damage flooring. Once the lid is open, fully tighten the drain plug to prevent further leaking.
What is rotomolding, and how does it impact my cooler?
Rotomolding is a process used to create a solid, seamless plastic lid and body. This method ensures greater impact resistance and long-term durability compared to traditional hollow-core plastic coolers with seams. As a result, CaterGator coolers will not warp, crack, sweat, or leak, and they will keep contents cold for extended periods.

Customers Say
Customers appreciate this cooler for its solid construction, ability to keep items cold for days, and value for money. It offers great space for its size and features like wheels for convenience, though some note it can be heavy. The seal is effective, occasionally creating a vacuum that makes opening challenging. Overall, it's highly recommended for its performance and price.

Great little cooler. Nice flowing drain and the lids seals very well. If the seal gets wet, it sometimes creates a vacuum, requiring a bit more effort to open. With Temps up to 80* F, ice lasts up to 5 days with minimal opening. Once the Temps go over 90, expect to be adding ice every other day. When the Temps go over 100, ice will melt daily, regardless of how cold it is inside. Still, a very nice cooler at a decent price.

Great unit overall keeps things cold for a long time and the wheels are nice. A couple things that bothered me though. It's heavier than expected. The lid gets suctioned closed sometimes and it's super hard to open you almost need a tool to get it open.

Awesome price for an excellent cooler. Held a block of ice for 5 days, with other small ice. Love the design. For the outside dimensions it has more space than other coolers its size. Would definitely recommend, especially for the price!

I have not had an opportunity to use this yet, but several friends and family members have this and it works great for them which is why I purchased. It appears well constructed, and I have seen no noticeable flaws. I can’t wait to put it to the test at the beach and for an extended camping trip this summer.

The CaterGator is a solidly built cooler; recommend wheels on this size and larger as it is somewhat heavy before contents are added. I just took out of the box and used for the first time this weekend; not sure if I received a returned one as it has some scuffing on the lid. Some areas appear as though they didn't release from the manufacturing mold well as the finish is not the same vibrant coloring and appear a bit rough in other areas. Other than the cosmetics, it functioned very well.

This cooler has the same features and feel as the higher dollar rotomolded coolers for half the price. Holds ice the same as the higher dollar ones also. Definitely would look at them again if I am in need of another.
