I recently bought a Waeco 41 litre Cool Ice Box and used it on Christmas Day 2022 along side my older Evakool 64 litre Ice Mate, as a rough comparison on ice retention they were on par, with the Waeco holding ice slightly better, both boxes were prepared, pre cooled and iced on Christmas Eve .
The only minor concern I have with the Waeco is the screw in drain bung not tightening firm enough and may possibly leak but nothing that some white plumbing tape on the threads cant fix, otherwise it does a good job

Ice lasts less than 24 hours. Disappointed, especially for its price. Could not recommend it. A cheap esky from "Woolies" works just as well or possibly better. Handles would be better than the strap.

All components seem very cheaply made, not the quality I was expecting at all. The water outlet valve isn't in correct so I'm guessing it'll leak in my van. It just didn't look as if it had been cared for, it was covered in some kind of rusty liquid when it arrived and it look like it had been mistreated with small scrapes and dings here and there.
I feel a bit like I've been ripped off, I thought I was buying a premium product.

Disappointed, ice doesn’t last even in cool wind, have made a reflective cover & still poor result totally not worth it!

cant fault it.keeps ice for a few days.also serves as a good extra seat in the boat.if I ever lost this one I would definitely buy another one.well that is 31 words (30) minimum but it said it was only 28.

Plug/bung didnt seal, dumped a heap of water through vehicle, ice melted just as quick as my cheap one, which i wish i didn't throw out as i got full refund 4 days after purchase!
Absolute junk!
Ice melted way too fast, plug didn't seal, BCF even offered the 44l and a complete refund, took the refund but left the WCI44 in the shop.
Yes i refused a free 44l!

Bought for little day trips great little size. When filling up for a days travel will easily keep everything cold with 2 little ice bricks normally sits in the back of the truck out in the 40degC day only draw back is it gets heavy for the little strap would be better with handles

We purchased the Waeco cool- ice, icebox in Nov 2016 and just returned it (1 Jan 2017)for a replacement.(only used it once)
We were away camping for 5 days over xmas and the icebox performed perfectly, held ice for 2-3 days at a time, "BUT" when we returned home and cleaning down the icebox i noticed an exterior side wall and the bottom had separated and developed a bubble the size of my palm, so i took it back to my local camping shop for a replacement without any problems, this is the second Waeco icebox product we've had problems with, so i recommend to do a thorough check of these products before leaving the shop.

I've only used this for 3 day trips in hot/sunny conditions, but keeps ice without a top-up for that time - I've used a combination or block ice (about a litre each) with party ice on the top. I'm fairly confident it will go longer if kept in shade or pre cooled. Very happy with it. Wait for a deal and you should find this under $200.

Purchased a Waeco Icebox (41 litre) on a recent holiday to save purchasing ice for the esky on a daily basis. The "lcebox" works great and can keep items cold for 3-4 days, great for camping or caravaning. The icebox is robust and can be secured easily in the back of the ute.
