Hello to all you guys out there, been reading for a while and seems that alot of guys ask about what ice boxes are best and so
forth, some have said alot are manufactured overseas, which is true, i would imagine between 80-90% are, but only a few are owned and ran with australian managment.
Now here a few things you should always
check when it comes to ice boxes/eskys,
* INSULATION, the thicker the better, thats why most fiberglass boxes hold ice better then plastic as majority of them are @ 35mm+ in insulation.
* Hinges, stronger the better, always
* Drain plugs, make sure that they are water tight sealing, if water can get out, heat can get in.
* Ice will always last longer if the melted water is removed,and like many have said, cant go past using empty plastic bottles, or milk containers that will keep majority of the melted water confined.
Now alot of new plastic ice boxes are on the market. and again, all these princables about fiberglass is the same with plastic, no rocket science needed here,
But my pick of the plastic would have to be at the momment, until a better one comes along would be the tropical by far, it strong, its robust, and has great insulation, and i will add i dont own or sell tropical just stating my opinion like many others have. Hope this helps everyone alittle,and feel free to ask any question,and yes i do manufacture more then one kind of box. Regards Malbie
