About Coolers Junkie
Coolers Junkie is an independent buying-guide site for coolers. We help you compare models and pick one with less guesswork.
We write for campers, boaters, anglers, beach-goers and anyone who hauls food and drinks to a game or a lake. You don't need to know cooler jargon, because we explain terms like rotomolded, quart size and ice retention in plain words.
What we cover
Our guides cover hard and rotomolded coolers, rolling coolers, soft coolers and backpack coolers. We also cover ice packs and the gear that goes with a cooler, like baskets, locks and wheel kits.
Many guides compare two models or two brands side by side, so you can see the trade-offs before you buy.
What we do
We read the product details, specs and maker information for every cooler we cover. We also look at what buyers often say after using one.
Then we turn it all into plain guides and clear picks, written in everyday words. You can read more on our How we research page.
What we don't do
We don't make or sell coolers, and no brand pays us to rank its products.
Coolers Junkie is an independent site. We aren't affiliated with YETI, RTIC, Igloo, Coleman, Pelican or any other cooler maker.
We don't claim to have tested every cooler ourselves. When we pick something, we tell you why, based on its specs, its features and buyer feedback.
How we earn money
Some links on this site go to stores like Amazon. If you buy through them, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
That never changes which products we pick. Our affiliate disclosure has the details.
