Product Overview
When your business depends on keeping things reliably cold, you need a solution that won't let you down. This is the Coleman Xtreme 66 litre cooler box, a seriously robust and high-capacity portable cooler designed for the demands of professional use. It's the go-to choice for anyone who needs to transport or store temperature-sensitive goods without access to mains power, blending massive capacity with impressive thermal performance.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
'Peak District Hog Roasts', based near Bakewell, needed to upgrade from multiple smaller coolers to one large, reliable unit for their full-day wedding catering events. They were losing time packing several boxes and worried about consistent temperatures across them.
"This Coleman cooler is fantastic. We can load it up in the morning and everything is still perfectly chilled 12 hours later, even on a warm day. The single large box has simplified our entire pack-down process, and the drain makes the final clean-up effortless."
Robert Hughes – Owner, Peak District Hog Roasts
The switch to a single, high-performance cooler reduced their vehicle loading and unloading time by 20 minutes per event.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- For best results, pre-chill the cooler with a sacrificial bag of ice for a few hours before you load it.
- Use a mix of block ice and cubed ice. Block ice melts much slower, providing long-term cooling.
- Pack cold or frozen items first and fill as much empty space as possible to reduce air pockets.
- Keep the cooler out of direct sunlight whenever possible to maximise ice retention.
Keeping It Going
- After each use, empty the cooler and wash the interior with mild soap and warm water.
- Use the channel drain to empty all water, then wipe the interior dry with a clean cloth.
- To prevent odours, store the cooler with the lid slightly ajar to allow air to circulate.
- Never clean with harsh chemicals or abrasive scourers, as this can damage the interior lining.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long will it realistically keep ice frozen?
A: It's rated for up to five days. Real-world performance depends on factors like the ambient temperature, how often you open it, and how well it's packed. For best results, pre-chill it and use block ice.
Q: Is the lid really strong enough to sit on?
A: Absolutely. It's been tested to support up to 113kg (over 17 stone), making it a very handy extra seat at events.
Q: What's the best way to pack it for maximum performance?
A: Start with a layer of ice on the bottom, add your pre-chilled food and drinks, then top it all off with more ice, filling in any gaps.
Q: How do I clean it if it gets stained or smelly?
A: For stubborn smells or stains, a solution of baking soda and water left to sit for a few hours before rinsing should do the trick. Always air it out thoroughly.
Q: Is it easy to drain the melted ice?
A: Yes, it features a rustproof, no-tilt channel drain. You can empty the water without having to tip the entire heavy cooler over.
Q: What is the material made from?
A: It's constructed from high-density Polyurethane with injected foam insulation, designed for maximum durability and thermal efficiency.
Q: Can I use dry ice in this cooler?
A: It is generally not recommended to use dry ice in this type of sealed cooler, as the gas released (carbon dioxide) can cause pressure to build up and potentially damage the unit or cause injury.
Q: Is this Coleman Xtreme portable cooler box easy for one person to carry?
A: It has sturdy handles, but given its large size, it's manageable for one person when empty but best handled by two people when fully loaded.

Explore more from ColemanHow Injected Foam Makes All the Difference
Ever wondered what 'injected Polyurethane foam insulation' actually means for you? It's the secret behind this cooler's long-lasting chill. Unlike basic coolers that might use simple foam boards slotted inside, this process involves injecting a liquid foam into the cavity between the inner and outer walls. It then expands, filling every single nook and cranny before setting hard.
Think of it like getting professional cavity wall insulation for your house, but for your food and drinks. This method creates a solid, seamless thermal barrier with no gaps or weak spots. It's this complete, unbroken shield that is so effective at trapping cold air in and, just as importantly, keeping the warm ambient air out. That's why this large insulated food transport cooler can maintain its temperature for days, not just hours.
Who Should Buy This?
- Mobile Caterers: Keep ingredients and prepped food safely chilled during transport and on-site at weddings or parties.
- Festival Bar Operators: A reliable way to store and serve cold drinks for the entire weekend without needing power.
- Farm Shops & Markets: Ideal for transporting and displaying temperature-sensitive produce like cheese, pies, or meats.
- Specialist Food Couriers: Perfect for bulk deliveries, ensuring a large consignment of goods arrives fresh and cold.
