Vibe Element 75 Cooler

Holy smokes, this cooler is awesome. I did about 8+ hours of research trying to find the best cooler for the price, and let me tell you, I found THE ONE. Now I just need to save my money for the 45 and 20. Seriously, don't waste your money anywhere else. Go ahead and buy a Vibe cooler now and you won't regret it. I think that they are built just as durable, if not more, than any similar cooler on the market. I love every feature on this cooler, but most of all, how the hinge goes across the whole back so that ice cannot get stuck in it. Can't beat the price either. Well done Vibe. Well done.

I was skeptical buying this cooler as I had not been able to find many reviews. However, when it arrived I was completely blown away. I have tried many other major "alternative brands" and this one by far has been the best. The fit and finish is outstanding. I had issues with other companies sending me dinged and beat up coolers but this one arrived in perfect condition. The lid closes well and makes a seal and it passed the water test and the light test.I tested it out on my back porch in 80 degree weather loaded with 30 cans and roughly 30-40lbs of ice. I did not pre-chill or anything. The ice lasted just over 6 days. I was very impressed.The only issue I ran into was the drain plug created condensation. I contacted Vibe and learned they provide a lifetime warranty for these coolers and they sent me a new drain plug. I have not had time to test it out yet, but I am confident if it doesn't fix the issue they will work with me to fix whatever is going on. To me though it is a minor issue as it will mostly always be in the back of my truck or on the porch. I do live in the south where it is humid so that probably has more of a role in the condensation than anything.Overall, I am very impressed and I highly recommend this cooler. You will not be disappointed.

**amended my review after having my cooler for about 7-8 months. The plug constantly leaks now and it only holds ice for about 8hrs instead of 2 days or so before. Not sure if it's just the plug or maybe the seal. Still holds up to dings and dents but its ability to hold ice is very limited.Quality product and much cheaper than Yeti. Don't over pay for the same quality. My buddy who owns a yeti 35 paid more than I did and couldn't tell the difference in quality. Perfect fit for my skiff.

I just got this cooler and immediately threw 3 frozen 2 liters in it to do an ice test. 4 days later and the ice jugs are ~50% ice. Temps ranging from 95°F during the day in the garage, and 70°F at night. I did the flashlight test and could see no light coming from the seal. A good test is to use the pressure release valve. After putting the ice in, 4 hours later I could not open the ice chest lid with one hand. I had to use the pressure release valve. If you can open it, you probably have some leakage somewhere. My guess would be the drain plug or pressure valve. I might silicon mine in place or try to add another gasket(locktight maybe?)Overall, i was so impressed with the quality that i just ordered the 20qt. My coleman 60 qt extreme was used as a comparison and only had a thin sliver of ice left on the beginning of day 4 and none at the end. Pics are from the morning of day 4. I will pre-chill for longer trips, as i noticed initial ice melt in the first 12 hours. Only 4 stars because it hasnt been tested thoroughly yet, and the drain plug seems like it could work itself loose.My guess is that people experiencing poor ice retention have leakage, a hot cooler, or warm ice.

Love this cooler! We have a Yeti also and it is very comparable to that. We used it this past Memorial Weekend. We packed our stuff on Friday, May 26th with ice, and there is still ice in it today May 30th. Can't beat that. Kept everything nice and cold. We even left this out in the sun for a full day to test it. Definately would buy this brand again.

This is the BEST cooler I have yet to own. I’ve been wanting one of these rotomolded coolers for a while now, but couldn’t bring myself to spend $400+ on one of the other brands. After days of research and watching YouTube videos I stumbled across the Vibe Element 75 quart. The price point is great. The cooler itself is very well built and seems to be really sturdy. The pressure release valve works great (just remember to screw it all the way in after you take it out of the box). If I don’t release the pressure before opening the lid, I need to use quite a bit of force. The drain on the side does not leak at all, no condensation either. Handles are of a nice thick rope with rubber handles. As soon as I took it out of the box, I decided to put it to the test and see how long it would hold ice for. Filled her up with 60lbs of ice and put it in the laundry room (78-79 degrees). I opened it at least 10-15 times a day to simulate regular use. I tested it between 7/25 - 7/31 (Wednesday to Tuesday). As you can see in the pictures I posted, they are in order from day one to day six, there is still ice left over in the water. Yes it’s 85-90% water now, but it has held ice for six days without an issue!! I am very pleased with this cooler and am considering buying the 20 quart for daily use and the beach! I highly recommended this product!!

Had this thing for about 2 years. Picked it up for $200.I did days of research that led me to this thing. Bottom line is, it’s sturdy, keeps ice about 5-6 days (depending on usage) and it has cool features.I was personally saving up for a Yeti. I’m a huge fan of the Yeti brand and have multiple pieces of drink ware by them. But the hard coolers are just way too expensive.This cooler has a drain plug, awesome handles and even a pressure release valve that makes the cooler easy to open for smaller kids grabbing juice boxes or some of the older folks out there with arthritis.10/10 would recommend this cooler.

The cooler looks and feel durable, made for rugged task. However the drain cap could have been made more solid. The cooler should have came with basket and divider cutting board. Overall I'll give it 4 stars. Yet to test the durability sometime soon.
