Igloo Super Tough STX Cooler

Great cooler for the price. Well made, holds ice good for the day in the hot sun. I added rubber feet from RTIC coolers for non slip on the deck of my boat. This is not a roto molded cooler and will not hold ice for days. I use it as a fish cooler for my days catch.

I have used this on a weekend camping trip in late August and very little ice melt. It has also held food during a few extended power outages with the same success. The hinges are metal and I replaced the latch with the igloo locking one and that has worked well also. The plug as others have said on the 54qt does not have threads but I have not had an issue with this coming open. This is a very good cooler for the price and for my needs.

Gave it to my dad for father's day and I've been able to use it with him at the beach, house parties, etc. It is a great cooler overall and seems to keep very cold and hold up.My one complaint and the reason for 4/5 stars is the latch on the front often flips down when the lid is up and when you close the top the latch bangs against the plastic tab. Basically, I am aware of this and make others aware to not slam the lid or check to pop the tab up real quick before closing, but as cooler use goes most people do not pay attention when closing it so it happens quite a bit. The plastic is already showing signs of wear and damage, it is still perfectly usable and closes fine but I imagine this will not be the case for too long. Overall quality is good and still enjoy the product overall.Please fix the way the tab works or make it stay up when un-latched and this would be awesome.

This is specifically for the 54qt STX Cooler.This one did not have the screw on plug with stainless cable and according to the Reps at the Igloo Factory Outlet Store in Brookshire the 54qt model only comes with the push on plug.This is basically what the description says, a heavier duty model than their regular line. The bulk of that is all about the Metal Latch, the Metal Hinges, the upgraded through-fastened handles with more comfortable rubber grips, and the stainless interior cables that hold the lid up when opened.I'd say the shell is a slight step up at best and ice retention is going to be similar to other Marine models in Igloo's cooler line. It does feel nice and sturdy and the upgraded parts feel solid. I feel the value is solid up to about $75 to $80.I bought this along with Igloo 20069 Wire Cooler Basket, Black and it fits perfectly! Igloo 20069 Wire Cooler Basket, BlackEven better, if you have any of the old Igloo plastic trays that measure approximately 11-1/8" x 12-1/4" they fit perfectly and two of them nestle in together with about a 1/4" overlap that does not affect closing or anything else. See pictures but ignore the holes in the trays, I cut those.... the 12-1/4" side lays in front to back.I also bought Farberware Poly Cutting Board 12-Inch by 18-Inch, White and cut it down to make interior dividers. Farberware Poly Cutting Board 12-Inch by 18-Inch, White I chose this one because I think the the 1/2" wide boards might be just a tad wide. Still, these are soft enough plastic to cut and shape super easily with a jigsaw, bandsaw, skillsaw, etc.... A hacksaw would work, it would just be a little slow.You cut your desired height up the 18" side and you'll need a 1/4" taper down the 12" side and they will slide right in and fit the interior taper. 6"s tall keeps it under the wire basket so you can slide it all the way from left to right. I cut two, one 6"s and one 8"s.There are 2 slots so you could cut the cutting board in half and it would be just about full height in both slots.We are road trip ready!

Great cooler. Just took it on a 3 week, 4,000 mile July road trip through OR, CA, AZ, NV, UT and ID in the back of a Subaru Outback. 7-10lb bags of ice lasted between 1.5-2 days and 20lb bags lasted 2-3 days (it just seems to depend on how much ice, outside temperature, shade, how often you open it, where you store it, and how cold the items are that you put in it). In the end, I averaged a bag of ice ever other day. It's way better than my $17 Island Breeze cooler which never kept ice more than one day. If you put 40lbs of ice in the Super Tough STX with some already cold items, and it wasn't AZ summer hot, I think the ice would last 5 days, otherwise 2-3 days is more realistic.

It looks nice but it's cheaply made. Show up busted in shipping. The latch was broken along with the metal stringers for the top.

Tough, good looking cooler with heavy duty latches and hinges. Does not keep ice as good as my old Igloo Max Cold though

This cooler is sturdy and spacious, but for the $74 I paid for it, I expected a bit more cold holding power. Even with 20 pounds of ice, it only managed to keep it for two days. My much cheaper Coleman cooler does better than that, so I am somewhat disappointed. I am not going to spring for $250 for a Yeti, however.
