Coleman 48 Litre Coolbox Mini Review

The Coleman 48 ltr Coolbox with mini coolbox and flask

Here we are again with another mini review, this time for the Coleman 48 Litre Polylite Coolbox.

The key to this coolbox is SIMPLICITY!  When we purchased it, about a year ago, we also considered things like gas & electric powered fridges, but we ultimately thought that these would be overkill for a weekend camping.

The Coleman coolbox is great for the following reasons:

1. Capacity
2. Stays VERY cool
3. Simple Design
4. Light Weight
5. Flask & Mini Coolbox Included

Coleman 48ltr Coolbox now full of our weekends goodies

At 48  Litre’s this coolbox has loads of room to fit food, beer and wine for a good weekends camping.  There obviously needs to be some space left to put your ice blocks, but I find that if you have a few beer cans in there this keeps the food pretty cool too  The coolbox also acts as a very useful seat or table too.

In terms of keeping your food and drink cool, It is a trooper!  This is not a very scientifically drawn up result, but, we will often come home after a two or three day camping trip with some beers left in the coolbox.  These beers are almost always colder than the beers in our fridge at home.  It really does keep things very cool, even when it is very warm outside.

The Coleman coolbox has a very simple design.  A handle on each end to make carrying it easy and a lid that has two sturdy hinges and simply push closes.

Also included with the coolbox is a handy flask and mini coolbox which are useful for the obvious reasons.

In conclusion – we never go camping without it now.  Even though the box is rather large (W=60cm, H =36cm, D=36cm) we can just keep loading the box with food and drink, and due to the fact that the food won’t spoil, we can always bring back what we don’t use.
Here you can see the coolbox which is now full of our camping food & drink.  You can get a sense of scale this way.  We are not alcoholics by the way, we were just charged with taking all the drink for this trip!!

The coolbox now contains the following:

24 cans of beer (stumpy Heineken lager cans)
1 x 1.5l Water
1 x 750ml Water
1 x 350ml box wine
