Glacière Stanley, 16 pintes

I prime the cooler in hot weather. Traveled for a week keeping the cooler in my car. It retained the ice for 72 hours. Bought another instead of Yeti. Great Value!

I originally purchased the 7Qt. It looked well built and kept everything nice and cold so I purchased the 16Qt a week later. After a couple of months the lid would not close on both of the coolers due to the latches. I contacted Stanley and they sent me replacements. I ran into the same issue with the replacement coolers and contacted Stanley once again. This time they wanted me to ship the coolers in order for them to be replaced. The only issue here was that the shipping cost was going to be more expensive then the coolers themselves even through USPS and Stanley was not going to cover the charges. Now I am stuck with two coolers that wont close.

While I liked the design elements of this cooler, I don't think the design team gave any thought as to what would be kept in the cooler. The 16 qt. model is about 1 1/2" too short - I am unable to keep glass bottles inside in the upright position. What the heck?? Terrible oversight. Quite often after opening a cold one, it's nice to put the bottle back in the cooler for a bit while we go do something else. Still deciding whether to return it or keep it just because of that one issue.

i bought this cooler 16qt when they first come out and its ok for a day cooler tested it couple of times with nothing but ice filled to the top 2 days with no ice left just water i have a 20.00 igloo that smokes it, don't waste the money on this cooler but this is the only stanley product i ever had a problem with everything else has been awesome

very impressed with cooler.... left for the weekend and forgot to pack it stayed in garage for 3 days and when I returned I was extremely impressed still ice and drinks were ice cold! Definitely buying the bigger one soon
