ENGEL19qt Leak-Proof, Air Tight, Drybox Cooler and Small Hard Shell Lunchbox for Men and Women

I've been using my Engel 19qt Lunchbox for a few weeks now, and I'm absolutely blown away by its performance. This thing is a beast when it comes to keeping things cold. I use it mostly for work as a jobsite lunchbox. The ice stays frozen all day, even in scorching summer heat.The build quality is top-notch. It's sturdy, durable, and feels like it's built to last. The latches are secure, and the lid fits snugly, ensuring that nothing leaks out. The exterior is tough, and I've dropped it a few times without any damage.I love the versatility of this cooler. It's perfect for storing food and drinks, but it can also be used to keep other items cold, like medication or electronics. The compact size makes it easy to transport, and it fits perfectly in my backpack or cooler bag.Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with my Engel 19qt Lunchbox. It's a fantastic product that's well worth the investment. If you're looking for a reliable, durable, and high-performing cooler, I highly recommend this one.

First time having this lunch box, have to say I'm impressed with the quality and Versatility. Keeps contents cold, great performance. Has not leaked, ordered new black strap, didn't care for white strap came with gets dirty fast. Easy to use. Hesitant to spend so much on a "Lunchbox" but tired of all the nylon $30-$40 dollar inferior ones. So far satisfied with and long term usage.

I work a construction job, so this cooler spends the day in the back of my truck, 5 days a week. I bought my 19QT a little over a year ago, and so far it has held up fine in the Texas sun. The top has discolored slightly, but it is expected. The cooler has remained leakproof, keeps lunch cold for the day with ice packs, and stays cold/cool for about 24hrs. Personally I don’t use the carry strap because it isn’t applicable to my use. It is by no means comparable to a Yeti in terms of ice retention, but I wasn’t expecting it to be. A lot of people buy certain brands because they are the current popular thing, and don’t consider their needs before buying. Many people I know buy a Yeti, then hardly use them bc they are so heavy.The 19QT Engel is lightweight and easy to carry. I’ve carried a comparable Yeti cooler, and boy are they heavy. In the right circumstance, I’d consider a Yeti, but the Engel combines adequate waterproofing, light weight, ease of use, and doubles as a seat at an excellent price point.If I could do anything, I might consider the next size up from the 19QT because it is a bit to small when I use the dry tray.

I gifted this to my husband and luckily he loves his lunch box ! He works long shifts in hot temperatures. He freezes the water bottles and he says that they are kept frozen for a long time after 15 hours of being there they still have a frozen ice in the middle of the bottle. He did state that the flavored drinks melt faster but are kept cold. As shown in the pictures he’s able to fit many items in the box. It’s worth the price.

If you compare this to any Yeti product then you are comparing two different class products. This Engel Cooler Dry box 19qt compared to a Yeti Roadie 19qt quite frankly is no comparison. ($60 vs $249) I own them both for comparison. 1st The Engel's outside size it much smaller than a Yeti. Obviously this means less foam insulation. This is where it wins in certain situations. I use it for day trips, and road trips that I don't have the need for cold food or drinks past the 2 day mark. I also was concerned about the hinges like others on this cooler but it has performed great for me so far. I can see how it would be great as a lunch box as some other users claim. It does what is built to do. Keeps food cold, or keep your dry goods dry. 2nd This cooler is much lighter than a Yeti once again because it is not built to the same standard. I do use mine as a seat from time to time and have not had any issues @200 lbs. I have used this cooler on my boat and it performed great. I would suggest the Ice packs, or frozen waters to keep your items chilled because it is only 19 quarts.I actually bought this product because I thought it might have been the deal of the century Yeti like knock off. It is not a Yeti but I was not disappointed for the $60.00 price point. It is great little cooler for the money, it is just not a Yeti. Compare it more to a similarly priced product and you will find it is a gem. Engel does make coolers that are comparable to the Yeti in the Deep Blue series. This is where my initial confusion started because my research didn't spell out the differences in the cooler series. You would think I should have known the difference up front spending 1/4 of the money. My confusion yielded me a little useful cooler that I use quite often. It is a quality product that I can see lasting for years to come. Please compare the deep blue series Engel to the Yeti if you want a true comparison. It should be no surprise that the prices match as well as the coolers capabilities. This is a $60 cooler/dry box as it states.

Beautiful bold color , quality made , held ice in south carolina summer heat for 1.5 days - even then with ice melted the water was ice cold - could use a drain plug to make things a little easier

i have been using this as a lunch box for work and also a cooler for beach's and fairs and must say it has surpassed my expectations. Not only does it keep food and drinks well cooled but also has been leak proof. ive filled thing thing to the brim with a full 12 pack of cans and 2- packs of 4 with one whole bag of ice everything fit perfect. the ice melted by the end of the 2nd day and no water leaked out to the point i had to tip and pour out all the water. highly recommend perfect size for a roadie cooler, also recommend a better alternative for the strap from Etsy to give it a little more sturdiness when carrying around full. i would purchase this again.

-better then any Colman cooler or igloo I’ve had, I’d say same performance as yeti or better.- I’m currently a travelling tradesman home on weekends I bring my food for the week lunches and dinners in this cooler. All the food stays ice cold for the whole time as I drive to site the first day so food is in full sun and outside of a fridge for about 15 hours and everything is ice cold still ( very little ice required).- I also use this as a lunch box I’m 300 pounds and can sit worry free on. I leave my keys and other stuff on the top shelf in the cooler and my keys are cold at the end of the day from my frozen lunch even when the cooler has been empty for a few hours.- the only bad thing is that the Engel logo i received looks straight outta the 90s not the simple red Engel logo pictured. I’ve tried to take the sticker off but seems to be almost bonded to the plastic cooler.

die Box hält was sie verspricht, es bleibt alles kühl trotz direkter Sonne ausgesetzt wir waren begeistert, genügend Akkus rein alles perfekt, Danke

Debated for too long about the size and colour. In the end went for 19qt in mango…right size for us but wasn’t expecting it to be as Orange as it is (isn’t mango a yellowy orange) but hey it’s just a cool box. Not a wedding outfit! Can’t wait to try it out! He already has a nickname.

Highly recomended, i own 6 different coolers, ORCA, Coleman steel belted, etc, and this is the one that i use most by far. Very practical.Altamente recomendable, tengo 6 hieleras de diferentes tamaños y tipos, de todas, esta es la que más uso , por ser ligera, práctica, y alta mente portable. Este tamaño, de 19 qt, es la más conveniente. La llevas a todos lados sin ocupar mucho espacio, sirve de lonchera tambien. Lo único que no me gustó, es q las bisagras son de plástico y no de metal, fuera de eso, es un must have, si te gustan los outdoors.

I love this product however one of the latches are a little stiff and make a creaky noise.
