People dont READ ! and then complain
I just ordered my 80qt , and got it yesterday, arrived in good condition, box was NOT damaged, and am now letting it sit for a day so the refrigerant can settle down. I will update my post after using the cooler this weekend on a trip the Manatee Springs. The reason for my HEADLINE is this : Most of the 1 star reviews and or people complaining are doing so because of there own fault and or not reading. ( in todays world, people are easy to dismiss an issue and blame another person instead of taking accountability on there own) The cooler DOES NOT come with the battery pack required to allow it to operate on its OWN.. They do sell it , as well as a solar panel. NewAir was out of stock on the battery, so I purchased one thru a 3rd party , once you have it, you clip off the small panel door on the rear side above the power plug, and slid the battery in until it clips in. For NEW BUYERS etc, when you receive your cooler, its best to unpack it from the boxes, and then let it sit in the correct position for 24-48 hours .. (like any appliance that uses a compressor and refrigerant, you want it to settle from shipping. (mainly as some shippers dont adhear to the UPRIGHT arrows on the box, and will pack it any which way to get it into truck etc) my UPS guy, had it side ways on his dolly, I pointed out the arrows and he said "Ohhh" , no biggie, just let it sit for 24hr or 48hr to be sure. Excited to use this on the coming weekend ! (I just now need to list the 2 large Yeti wheeled coolers I have for sale)
