OtterBox - Venture 25-Quart Cooler - Hudson

Was able to find this on a Deal-Of-The-Day promotion at 50% off and have to say that I am very pleased with the build quality. It is well insulated, has a solid latching system and the functionality in accessorizing it looks sound. Looking forward to putting it to good use this summer while camping and taking trips to the beach. As a test run I filled it with some drinks that were already refrigerated and ice after getting it home. Two days later and there has not been much ice loss at all. I think it does bear mentioning though that the free OtterBox Separator Panel gift that is included, is not compatible with the 25qt cooler at all. It simply does not fit or allow the cooler to close with it in place, per it's own description it is made for the 45qt and 65qt model's. Which is kind of hilarious, as Best Buy doesn't even sell those sizes. So I would advise opting out of the free gift unless you like having pointless waste around, that's the only reason I've given it four stars instead of five, seems nonsensical to include a gift that isn't compatible. Every 25qt cooler does include the bottle opener accessory though, you'll notice it on the left side of the cooler in the photos I've included.

I purchased this cooler after Hurricane Irma. I thought it would be great to have a quality product helping to keep my perishables protected during power outage and of course camping and going to the beach. There really wasnt many coolers available at this time. Best Buy had it and I took a chance. The Venture 25 is constructed very well and has great latch system, and is injection mold technology, but lacks performance cooling wise. It kept my ice for 4 days. That is 1 day more than my old $29 Igloo would keep ice. The release valve leaks water and also leaks cold air as well. The handles looked great at first but in real life use they just get in the way when loading in your vehicle. I would have preferred hinged or tuck away handles. The matte finish is too easily scratched. At the end of the day, its a solidly built cooler, should last a long time. I probably will keep or pass it on to a family member or friend and upgrade myself something else. My advice, get a Yeti or Engel. Otterbox still needs to iron out a lot of R&D with this new product.

It is a great product but the way Best Buy sent it was horrible not in a box so it was damaged when shipped it’s still usable but very Damaged Great company and great ice chest

Exceptional cooler not only price and construction is unbelievable how this product is manufactured. Performance is great ,put just one pound block of dry ice and a little ice and your good to go. Keeps everything fresh for 10 days in the bush and for your trip back home

Very impressed by this cooler. Its heavy and very we'll built. I was a little dirty from the box but a good wipe down cleaned it all up! Reminds me of the storm troopers and goes great with my wife white Jeep!!

I am disappointed in the condition I received my cooler. I just unboxed it and noticed a lot of dirt and scratches along the bottom like it had been slid around on a floor. Not the quality I was expecting when ordering such an expensive item. It seems like it was previously used or not stored properly.

I wish I can give this item a 5 star , however received this item in poor condition, not package correctly. In addition shipment was delay a few times. On the other hand cooler looks sturdy, bulky. This cooler did not fit in my 2020 Kia Forte trunk. Other than that I think this cooler will work great, keeping your drinks/ food chilled.

I Never had an issue before but I was disappointed with my purchase. I was expecting a brand new item and instead I got a returned item with signs of use and with candy inside .
