We have a booth at a car show every year where it's always miserably hot a few days... we were eating ice cream bars. I was looking at one of the high end coolers and for a few dollars more never have to worry about ice again. I also use it as over flow/outdoor fridge when we are in the camper... even traveling, can take it from the truck and inside and have our own fridge when staying at a friend's house. Zero complaints
