How does this cooler hold up in -40 degree tempetures? Does the hinges and latches work at those temps for Alaska

Hi travis, We have contacted the manufacturer, and they do not have a specific temperature range where these coolers are specified to work in. However, the representative that I spoke to feels that you will have no problems with this cooler at these temperatures and that it should work fine. I hope this helps

Sorry, Haven't had it down that low yet. The only thing I can say is that it is a tremendous cooler. Wait let me change that...a phenomenal cooler.

I have this item in a un-air conditioned garage in San Antonio Texas and it has been fine for the years that I have had it. The temperature ranges from the 20's in a bad winter to the 110's in a bad summer. The one bit of advise that I would give is to replace the chain that attaches the lid to the main body as this was steel and not stainless steel and it did discolor the inside temporarily until we changed it which is very easy to do and cost less that a Dollar. Hope that helps Andy Cone.

No, it is a refrigerator. It doesn't get much cooler than 36 degrees Fahrenheit.

4.0 out of 5 stars installation/ first glance product quality, August 19, 2014 Verified Purchase This review is from: Igloo Stainless Steel Cooler Latch (Sports) This review is based only after install, as i have not used this enough to discuss lasting use. Received product in good time. The actual hinge itself goes back into the original holes. The nipple (for lack of better words) that is used to secure the latch when closed, had to be moved further down from where the original was. only about 3/8 to half inch further down. all was very easy to do and took maybe 7 minutes to complete. the cooler is plastic and the screws are basically self tapping, no big deal to tackle yourself. The hinge/latch is of better quality than that of the plastic one i had. I went through 2 sets of plastic hinges. As far as i can tell, the set up i have now should last the life of the cooler. 9/25/14 -I am editing this review as several folks have questions about "will this latch fit, will it line up with existing holes" etc. if your cooler is plastic, you can self tap new holes if the new latches don't align just perfectly. you can glue or use clear or white calking to seal up the old holes. Chances are, they will be covered up with the new latch anyways. These are universal latches, meaning - some modification may be needed. these latches are 3.66 inches wide and 5.75 inches long. as long as your cooler isn't bulging out or changing shape really close to where the latches are, you should have no issues using these latches. now mind you, you may have to put the screws in new holes as they probably wont line up, but that is a simple fix as i said before.

I live in South Texas and keep ours on our back porch. While I can't really speak to cold, I am pretty sure that it gets a bit more hot here. With a west exposure and temps up to 110' it has held up fine.

Yes the lid closes tightly and it stays shut. Has no latch. Yes is sturdy enough to sit on. If you are worried about putting it in the back of a pick up truck and the lid blowing up. Just put the side that opens away from wind direction. Its a great cooler. Ice lasts at least 4 days.

Hi Bruce. We use our cool bot to keep an 8 x 10 cooler at 38 degrees F. I would post this question directly to Cool Bot. Kat

Yes, the lid closes tightly. The plastic lid fits snugly into the plastic case. The latching system is a plastic latch. With heavy-duty use, the latch could fail. However, I have replaced plastic hinges with metal hinges, using sheet metal screws into the plastic case of a similar cooler with good results. I suspect that using the same technique for a small metal latch would work just as well. Yes, it is sturdy enough to sit on. Furthermore, the insulation is superior! This really keeps things cold for a long time. Compared to other, cheaper coolers, this one is truly superior. This was a good purchase that I am very pleased with. I will be using this one for a very long time. Yes, the lid closes tightly. The plastic lid fits snugly into the plastic case. The latching system is a plastic latch.

Yes. The hinges and wind strap are attached with phillip screws but can easily be unattached. Good cooler but the hinges are cheap.

Living in the midwest, we have some very cold temps .. several days in a row of sub zero temps ... and so far it has worked very well. We have had it for almost three years

My hinges are fine. I've been using this rack for some time, even outdoors last summer, with no problems. I did not leave it out in the weather though. My only complaint is that it could be just a little wider, but I would buy it again for sure.

Hi I am a flight attendant and use this cooler on the aircraft for 10-12hr with ice packs. For me it works very good. On very warm day I do have to put more ice in the cooler to keep thing cool.

FYI these are not Hinges they are only latches to hold it closed. The Igloo stainless Steel Hinges work fine - but these Latches do not fit the New Max Cold. I had to mount them vertically and redrill the holes and they still stick out too far when closed. When ordering the Hinges remember that the cooler has 3 but they are only sold in a 2 pack

It will go well below 40 degrees, in fact, I had set at at the coldest setting and the cans were freezing and bursting openSo I backed it off to about 3/4 of the way and they were still freezing, it does a good job of keeping things cold

I live in the Houston, TX area so I can't comment on how well it holds up to cold but mine have been through a lot of rain with no problem. gary

I don't know!! Mine haven't iced up. I keep my house between 68-72 F. On the Frigidaire, I keep the humidity at 75 and the fan on low. So far it has worked like a champ!
