Best for: A big, light drinks cooler for a beach day or a tailgate
Lots of room for little weight, but Igloo pitches it for single-day events and it has no drain plug; pick a cooler with a multi-day claim for a weekend.
The Profile II 50 is a 50 qt hard cooler with THERMECOOL foam, a Cool Riser base, swing-up handles, a tie-down loop and a liner with pour channels; it is made in the USA. Amazon lists it at 78 to 79 cans and 5.6 lb empty. Igloo gives no ice-retention figure and says it keeps items cold all day. It has no drain plug, so a full chest has to be tipped to empty.
Good
- 50 qt of space for 5.6 lb empty
- Swing-up handles and a tie-down loop; made in the USA
- Liner pour channels make tipping out meltwater cleaner
Watch for
- No drain plug: you tip a full 50 qt chest to empty it
- Igloo pitches it for single-day use and gives no ice-days figure

Best for: A family on a long weekend who rolls the cooler from car to site
A wheeled 50-quart chest with a 5-day ice claim at 90°F for family weekends; Amazon's listing is an older version of the Xtreme 50 Coleman sells today.
This is the 50-quart Xtreme 5 wheeled cooler: a retractable handle, two large wheels, 84 cans, a hinged lid with four beverage holders and a rustproof, leak-resistant drain. Coleman's comparison chart on the listing gives 5 days at 90°F and 22.70 x 17.50 x 18.30 in. The listing gives no weight.
Good
- Retractable handle and two wheels let one person move a full load
- Coleman claims 5 days of ice at 90°F, a weekend with margin
- Rustproof drain empties meltwater without lifting the cooler
Watch for
- Wheels and handle add weight; Coleman's current version is 12.7 lb empty
- This listing gives no weight or interior size to plan packing
