Bought 150Qt Igloo from Sam's to use for quartered up deer. Well last year when I was cleaning it up I noticed there was crack in the corner exposing the foam of the cooler so I emailed Igloo and with a little hassle they replaced it under 1 year warranty. Well, I've used the replacement cooler 2, maybe 3 times. I think I've only had one deer in it, and the dang thing cracked in the corner again. These coolers are crap. I guess you get what you pay for. With bloody water possibly seeping in the crack and getting in the walls of the cooler, I figure it's trash.

Bummer man. I have 2 of those, and they've served me well enough. Biggest gripe is the crappy hinges and latches. -
I joke with my dad, his $20 igloo has gone through $40 worth of latches and hinges.Comment

I’m not spending hundreds of dollars for something I use only a few times a year and for one specific purpose.

And dont forget the weight. Put a quartered deer in a roto molded cooler and I wouldnt be able to lift it.Originally posted by Mike D View PostComment

I have 2 $50 or less Igloo coolers that I have had for 15+years and have never had a single issue with either of them (box or latches). Odd that you are having the same issue with both coolers. I hope they make it right for you since it is obviously a design flaw of some sortComment

A little pricey but worth it on their larger coolers.

I used some old tie down straps.
cut a little square and then screw it in on each side of the lid. the piece of strap makes the hingeComment

I bought the metal hinges and clasp when I bought the first one. Contacted Igloo and they said I was SOL. Said because it was already a replacement they couldn't do anything about it. My brother has an igloo that going on 11 years that had no telling how many deer in it. The inside must just be thin and brittle with these new ones. Pretty sorry.Comment

I've purchased my last Igloo. Got it last year and during the first use the wall where the handle is separated from the interior wall. Got an old green one that belonged to my FIL. Still works like new. On others I've cut small pieces of leather to use as replacement hinges.Comment
