Ice boxes - which one ?

agree with what rhino says. you get what you pay for. had the same 47l
evakool and it did its job. with these you can get 4/5 days out camping
with careful use.

Im with Brian, we have the 90 litre evecool and block ice lasted us 5 days in 30c heat we still had 3 blocks only half melted when we got home. would have lasted us easy another 2/3 days no problems. We were rapted with it and every thing stayed nice and cold. If you use party ice will only last you 2 days if your lucky this stuff from the garages is not that good. The trick is if you have a chest freezer to put it in about a week before you go will make a huge differance to how long it last's and also as said keep it covered out of direct sunlight will make it last longer as well. Also the ones sold in the great outdoors camping shops are the exact same ones only with there own logo on them. Keep away from the fibroglass one's creamy/white in colour, they work well but are prone to cracking especially being thrown in and out of the back of a 4wd They are no where near as robust. Hope this makes your decision a bit easier. Regards Steve M

Yep, EvaKool are the ducks guts.

For knock around get a Tropical.

The dear way to buy an esky is to buy a succession of cheap alternatives and then have to get a quality unit beacsue the cheaper ones have not met the designed purpose.
