A piece of crap!

Super excited about this product but turned out to be a HORRIBLE NIGHTMARE! Trying to talk to in regards of customer support is like sending smoke signals. The battery doesn't even charge. Made out of cheap materials and when I did finally get a hold of customer service they said the warranty doesn't cover it for once you receive the item it should be charged right away. Mind you I received this item dead in the winter who would want to take this out of the box at that time. Also a replacement battery is $55 and currently out of stock for the next year. Wow what a waste of money. DONT EVEN BOTHER SPENDING A PENNY ON THIS CRAP!!!!

Bought the cooler in Nov 2016, now early Feb 2018 a few months outside of the one year warranty.....battery has failed, speaker has failed....asked the company via email for some help as this cooler doesn't get a whole lot of use...and I got the "we are sorry you are outside of warranty" being an engineer what the heck lets go see what failed.....it looks like the controlling board in the battery wasn't able to regulate "overcharging" ....in the response from the company "Lithium Ion batteries have a life span" which is true through THOUSANDS of cycles. But again this unit didn't have THOUSANDS of cycles. would be surprised if it had 100, its the same stuff as my RYOBI drill set but not at their quality. the Speaker is a mess, parts of the board are not sealed with ANYTHING and open to moisture intrusion...The speaker should not be involved with ANY moisture at all. I have done a lot of IP68 and IP69 in my day and would love to see the results they got form theirs. I got my cooler at a MUCH cheaper price of about $200...not worth even that, Go get an RTIC because in a year or so under LIGHT use the accessories on this unit will probably fail and you know the what the email will say what you ask them to replace them.

The product is and was a big hit with our busy lifestyle and our family, however, the blender motor broke less than 3 months after we got it and there is virtually NO customer service for Coolest Coolers!!!! Not happy!

Don't Buy too, very poor quality
by Tom White (1 out of 5 stars)

I purchased this cooler and the battery only lasted four charges. It is a custom battery for the cooler so you only have one poor option to buy a battery to power this cooler. The cooler keeps items cool like an old traditional cooler, not like a Yeti. The electronic items that are built in are nice, but if the battery doesn't last past four or five charges then won't take a charge, then "extras" are of no use without battery. I reached out to customer service and they gave me the option of buying a new battery for $50. Cooler is OK but battery is horrible thus without a battery this is just a regular igloo cooler from the 90s.

Bad idea to buy the coolest cooler
by Amazon Customer (1 out of 5 stars)
October 18, 2016

This cooler is a piece of junk. I have carried it to the beach three times . First time i thought 12 hour charge wasn't enough because it only blended drinks once. 2nd time it worked fine. Now today it once again blended one blender of drinks. DO NOT BUY

Cool, but not worth 500 bucks.
by S Lopes (3 out of 5 stars)

I was a lucky Kickstarter backer who actually got a cooler before they started selling them on Amazon. I've had a little time to go through the cooler and these are my thoughts.

First and foremost; I would never pay more than $300 to $350 tops for this cooler. I received mine at an even lower discount for being an early adopter, but I just can't see paying $500 for this type of cooler, especially it being from a fledgling company, with proprietary components. There's a bit of a mystery as to how long support, parts, and warranty work will be available. As time passes, and the company solidifies its place in the market then obviously it will be a safer bet. The original retail was originally around $300, that I can see. Being a niche and unique item, however, they will try to command a premium for such a different gadget.

The cooler itself is very large with a decent amount of room, and with that largeness comes mass. She's a heavy girl empty. Put ice in it, and you will be thankful it has wheels.

It appears solidly built. I'm not too sure how the wheels will fair loaded and on a sandy beach. To me they don't look they will work well. No beach test in my neck of the world at the moment unless I'd like a side of hypothermia with my Vodkarita... I'll update this review in the summer when I can do a beach test.

It has a luggage style telescoping handle which feels a bit flimsy to me, and I'm wondering how all that sliding will fair once it's exposed to beach sand. There's also a handy gear tie down built into the handle to stabilize anything you'd like to carry on top of the cover, on top of the 40 pounds of cooler, minus ice. Again, thank goodness for those wheels.

The front compartment holds a wine opener, (feels a bit cheap and like an afterthought but they have wine drinkers covered) and the area for the bluetooth speaker, along with a small storage space for your phone. If you own an iPhone 6plus, or other large phablet phone, it's not going to fit on top of the speaker and still be able to close the door. Bummer for me. However, an iPhone 6 fit fine. Lastly, there is a bottle opener in the front with a magnet to catch caps. UPDATE: 12/5/15 - I read another review, where the reviewer stated they were able to fit a phablet (Galaxy Note 5 without a case) in the storage compartment along with speaker without issue. I tried the iPhone 6s Plus again, this time with NO case (I only use a small bumper case) and it JUST fits, with no room to spare. You can, however, now close the front door. Personally, I don't like not having a case on my phone, especially around sand and liquids, but for those who like going "commando" with their phones, the iPhone 6s Plus will indeed fit, but your not fitting anything else besides the speaker and cork screw. Perhaps you can sneak a very small set of keys in the angled space behind the phone.

The speaker sounded really decent for its size and I thought the volume was very good. Naturally, you don't have to spend $500 on a cooler to get a decent sounding Bluetooth speaker, especially if you already have one. I did, however, order an extra speaker and you can pair the second coolest speaker using the party pairing feature. Having the second speaker, makes things sound even fuller, and also gives the sound system a unique feature that a run of the mill Bluetooth speaker might lack. The speaker also has a nifty power off and power on sound, along with a voice response for party pairing. I Had some pairing issues here and there but overall it seems to stay connected. States batteries are not user replaceable, hopefully they will last quite awhile, again availability of parts in the future concerns me. This isn't an Igloo or a Coleman. Worse comes to worse any small Bluetooth speaker with similar dimensions could replace it if yours goes belly up.

Blender works well so far, I bought an extra battery. They are proprietary, so when they die, hopefully they still will make them. Remember that the blender will only run continuously for 20 seconds and reset to protect the motor. If you have a couple of ice chunks still around you can engage the lever again and pulse those away.

Inside, there is a divider which also can be used as a cutting board. The ice side of the storage is under the left lid where the blender motor assembly lives. It's a bit awkward and bulky, but if you want a decent blender, the motor has to be somewhere. There is also a light switch under that lid to light up the ice chest area. The light itself is in the lid, so it won't light up the inside unless you tilt the lid down into the ice chest. With the divider installed you can't illuminate the entire ice chest area so you're unfortunately stuck seeing a well of ice on the left side of the container and not the goodies on the right which you would probably need the light for. Another light on that side of the lid would have made more practical sense, or even interior lighting in the chest itself but I have a feeling patent issues with one of the big cooler producers put the Kabash to that.

USB charging port: Yep it's there and it works. Nice and handy as long as you're not blending like a madman. I did use the blender a couple of times, then tested the charging port with a stone dead iPad 3. The cooler battery was still reading full and when it finally fully discharged, the iPad was at 74%. That's decent for me, since the iPad has a hefty battery. I did notice that the cooler battery was still showing one bar, but it would not power up the blender. I suspect, that charging a cell phone, which has a smaller battery would be much more realistic use for the charging port. At least you know there's plenty of juice in an emergency.

There are 4 plastic plates and a ceramic paring knife under the right lid. Very handy and nicely stored. You could throw the plates, like martial arts stars at would be attackers, or, defend yourself with the knife, to ward off those unsavory types who might want to abscond with your $500 party on wheels :) Then again, you might just cut fruit with it and have a picnic, your mileage may vary...

You will certainly get comments and be the talk of the party or the beach if you roll up with it. Definitely the Swiss Army knife of coolers.

Overall it is definitely cool, but too pricey. Also I am concerned about availability of parts down the road given the Kickstarter scandal. Time will tell how that all plays out, and more importantly, if this cooler will take hold in the mainstream. I'd imagine if it does then getting parts will be easy. If you have 500 bucks burning a hole in your pocket and don't care, you can go for it. I almost didn't back the cooler through Kickstarter and was going to wait for them to be made and sold on Amazon or another retailer. Had I have waited, I would have not spent the $500 they are asking, so I lucked out and got a good deal, as well as a conversation piece.

Save your money...

I am one of the original Kickstarter backers. In fact, I backed 2 Coolests with the intention of giving them to my adult children for Christmas. I understood that this would not happen the first Christmas, but I mocked up my own coolest, ie, a cooler with a blue tooth speaker, and a hand mixer inside. I paid $185 +$15 delivery charge for each of my 2 Coolests. The delivery date was supposed to be Feb 2015,....... as of this date 3/3/2017, fully 2 years + past the delivery date all I've gotten is crickets and emails with empty promises and tales of woe. My backer number is in the low 11,000's. 62,000+ people backed this project. I'd venture to guess that less than half of us have received a coolest. We also got email offers to pay a ransom of $97 each for expedited shipping. Ah, no, I'm not paying twice. As I keep my promises, I did buy one from Amazon last October/November for the discounted rate of $199 and told the kids to share. At $199 it's still over priced, it's heavy empty, once filled with ice and drinks, good luck.....

I have the coolest cooler (original hard cooler) and my battery is no longer charging. I need a new battery and the site is sold out.

First - we have used this cooler less than 30 times, including the battery. I am beyond disappointed that the battery will no longer hold a charge. We do not keep the battery on the charger, EXCEPT for 12 hours prior to use.

Second - I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why this battery is only available through Coolest, yet the battery is sold out. The whole point of spending $400 on a cooler was specifically for the battery usage. We brought our cooler onto a friend's boat and were horrified when the blender wouldn't work, after bragging about how much cooler our cooler was than theirs. Embarrassing.

Third - It is also amazing to me that there is no phone number for someone to call to speak with a representative of this company. Do they stand behind your products, or not?
