In December 2019, CEO and founder Ryan Grepper announced that the company was closing, having never delivered coolers to an estimated 20,000 of the original backers. This makes Coolest Coolers one of the most disastrous campaigns ever on Kickstarter.
I won a Coolest Cooler in a contest. It arrived with a battery that won't charge. So, if you're wondering, even at free, it's still not worth the money.
I just got mine on September 23, 2015!!!!! Awesome construction and nice features!! Wish it had a solar component but I'm definitely a "happy Glamper"!!!
One thing that hasn't been discussed in these videos is how well does The Coolest actually cool? Such as: how long will The Coolest keep ice at 90° F? The features on this cooler are better than any other on the market, but if it cannot do what a cooler is meant to do first, than everything else is void. Looking forward to this question being answered, I am very interested in purchasing one.
My family has one of these coolers and we love it we use it all the time (at our ranch, at lacrosse tournaments, etc.) and everybody we show it to loves it as well and we use the speaker all the time.
Cool cooler, curious about where the blender stores...if it takes up space inside the cooler. Also wonder how loud and clear the speaker is. When I tried to buy it last year they didn't have anymore and put me on a list where I had seen the price being $185...now that they have coolers they are $485. That did not impress me. Otherwise a really neat idea.
Alan Harter we recommend you bury the pitcher in the drinks ice in left hand side when your are packing or moving the coolest. Sorry you missed the Kickstarter.
I was extremely lucky because I got my coolest cooler in the very first round of shipments. The cooler is pretty damn cool I have to say but I feel terrible for those that got stiffed by this guy. He made more millions than anybody else on kickstarter ever and ran out of money?? I'd love to see the house and cars that he upgraded to with all that cash that people lost. Not cool Ryan. It's a great product so why can't you make more?
Ordered nearly six years ago paid for all the extras and have never heard anything. My first time backing a product and it turns out very disappointing.
Do not be too proud of this technological terror you have constructed. The ability to make cocktails is insignificant next to the power of peltier cooling system...
2 years I backed this on Kickstarter and still no cooler to this day. To top it off, this clown has the nerve to ask for more money to deliver the coolers to us backers who already paid. Either he's a crook or one of the stupidest business men ever.
It's been awesome.. I've take it to many parties and and a couple tailgates. It's made really, really well and is so much fun to use. It's definitely a conversation piece with family and friends, and even complete strangers walking by us while we're making delicious margaritas and jamming out to our favorite tunes at our tailgates. Can't wait to bring it back out next spring!
All of the coolest features looks great. However, the cooler looks pretty small as it is, and with all of the added features, I'm assuming it really doesn't fit much food/drinks? How big is the inside of this cooler as compared to other coolers? I have a feeling I'd need an extra cooler to haul the useful stuff.....
+jcgp85 Kickstarter rewards are not the same as retail price. The idea is that by being an early backer you get a special price and that's exactly what the Coolest backers get - a $500 for $200 (on average). A high quality multi-function cooler like this with all the features and benefits doesn't come cheap! Reviews are excellent so better to invest in one good cooler than keep buying new coolers each year, we say!
Add a thermoelectric piece for a bag of ice (see; Igloo Powerchill) Also add a attachment for a AC Unit that blows cold air from ice chest when filled with ice. Also a insert for a iPad that holds it on lid. Then I may be a buyer!!
Thermo-electric generators create electricity via heat differential. In other words, entropy. If he were to ad a TEG it would literally be charging your phone by melting the ice and warming the food inside. That would be pretty damned stupid considering that electric from the grid is cheap. He would be better off just putting in twice the amount of battery's. Except that I'm already sure he put in as much battery capacity as practically possible. If you're worried about charging your damned smarty pants phone, get a tiny solar phone charger. They are 15 dollars at wal mart. No sense in warming up your food and drinks just to charge your phone when you have much better and cheaper options. Another thing, TEG's need a heat differential over 200 degree's to be functionally efficient. And BTW, the most efficient TEG's require heat differentials of over 1000 degree's F or more. And the MOST efficient TEG's are about 8% efficient and the least efficient yet most common are about 2% efficient. And again, you need at least a 200 and preferably 400 degree hot side and a freezing cold side. You still think TEG's are a good idea? Everybody thinks tech is so simple. "Oh just slap a solar panel there, or a TEG there, and viola problem solved!" but thats not how the real world works.
3 years back I backed this cooler on Kickstarter and to this day we have not gotten our 3 that we had ordered. This a-hole has the nerve to sell these when he still owes people theirs. Also the class action lawsuit needs to put these clowns in jail
RIP OFF!! I backed this on Kickstarter 2 YEARS AGO! No cooler only excuse. I see I can by one on Amazon and have it by the weekend but can't get the one I paid for. Ryan Grepper has been using our money for 2 years to produce product to sell before supply the ones that have paid TWO YEARS AGO! I imagine this will be deleted since Ryan has dodged those of us who he has conned. I have taken a screen shot and will continue to post everywhere.
backed mine 2 years ago, paid the extra and received mine last week. If youve been following all of his updates, the blog, etc. it actually makes complete sense. be patient and you will get your cooler
+Magic Mike Wow! bold statement. Offering to murder someone on UA-cam for money. The guy might deserve jail, but murder is a bit excessive don't you think? Heard from the FBI yet?
Save your money. I paid for mine two years ago. To this day...no cooler. I did get some excuse saying he doesn't have the money to proceed to fulfill the Kickstarter backers. I'm hoping he gets a lawsuit. If so....I'm on board.
+Martin Sanchez Sorry to hear that. Obviously you were one of those original backers still waiting on yours. I purchased mine last year on sale at Amazon for $299 on Cyber Monday (Black Friday's online version) . And I gotta tell you, I love the cooler!
Hey, ive been watching your coolest cooler since the kickstarter, used the kickstarter success when writing some of my research papers. Best cooler ever! But not worth 500 dollars!
I ordered my margarita green coolest cooler in kickstarter in August 2014. I have never received it to date. Nothing but excuses! I have requested a refund for over 2 years now! What a scam!
so you pack a blender on the boat or to the beach...where do put the ice? appears to not hold much ice...sir that is what a cooler is supposed to do , holding ice and drinks is very important here. not a blender
The Bomb.com I'm SOLD on the blender & charger because I am a plant based eating SMOOTHIE girl🍀 You should have list the price and show more of the amount of storage space inside.... ALSO how long is the battery life once charged THANKS FOR SHARING👍
Way too expensive, I'm sorry but the goal was $50,000 and your team gained about $20 million. Would the price have been any larger if you gained only about $50,000

Almost 4 years and this video is as close as I've ever been to being able to enjoy the cooler I purchased. #FURyan
Please contact me if your still interested in the cooler-I now have it
They are cool but they are also $485. Which let me tell you is not so cool.
I won a Coolest Cooler in a contest. It arrived with a battery that won't charge. So, if you're wondering, even at free, it's still not worth the money.

The Coolest Cooler Your product is a scam

+Gabbie Espinal I appreciate the info. Thanks!
32° F is the melting point of ice. XD
@@darkgames-minecraft2234 she is talking about the environmental temp....
How can i check and see if mine is on the way.It has been about 1 month
at 2:03 you can here lean on if you listen closly
Just received my Coolest cooler today, looks awesome! I just wish there was some way to recharge the 20v battery with my portable solar panels.
Webmaster305 How has the coolest been?
I thought it was going to have solar charging capabilities? Was I mistaken? Either way, super excited for this product.
Contact me if your still interested in the cooler please
Guaranteed if those were delivered the doors on thing break in 2 months
My grandfather old Colman cooler has a built in bottle opener and a clip on key ring it was good for soda pop 2
I just found that speaker today at a park and i have been trying to fucking find it online for the life of me. Awsome little speaker man.
My family has one of these coolers and we love it we use it all the time (at our ranch, at lacrosse tournaments, etc.) and everybody we show it to loves it as well and we use the speaker all the time.

Wonderful presentation .
However can I sync the bluetooth speaker to another brand of bluetooth speaker ?

Martin Sanchez have you gotten it yet?
Haakon Nikolaisen sadly no. I don't expect anything either. 😡
Martin Sanchez That really sucks
both
Great. how do you charge the battery? does it fit European 230V?
I still haven’t gotten my fucking cooler. I’m passing my bar exam in two months, guess who I’m coming after first?
Mine is waiting for me at home... By all accounts and reviews this thing is spectacular! Can't wait to get home and try it out!
CommittedToTheIndian How has the coolest been?

How big is the inside of this cooler as compared to other coolers? I have a feeling I'd need an extra cooler to haul the useful stuff.....
+jordanna quinn it's approximately a 55 quart cooler - it's pretty big! Depends on what you define as "much food/drinks"!
Can you buy multiple batteries?. Because I would use this for my car.
This looks nice, but for $500 no way!!! That's way over the suggested retail price y'all posted on your Kickstarter

Any idea when I might recieve mine (I'm a backer, backed about 1 yr ago)
+Gabbie Espinal I will.
+DarkDoesGaming we're making good progress through the backer list and shipping thousands each week - hang in there - you will get your Coolest!
Good luck with that. They are not making anymore. He doesn't have the $$. I see a class action lawsuit coming. If so...I'm on board.
What happened to the lawsuit?
never

Hola, alguien sabe si la batería de esta conservadora se puede abrir? Estoy queriendo abrirla para ver si puedo repararla pero creo viene sellada?
Pretty neat ideas. Where do you get them from and how much?
+Donna DaBillo www.coolest.com $499 from November 1st 2015

Agreed. A rip off. Like you, two years later..no cooler. Can't wait for Karma to bite him in the ass.
backed mine 2 years ago, paid the extra and received mine last week. If youve been following all of his updates, the blog, etc. it actually makes complete sense. be patient and you will get your cooler
for a fee I can make him have an unfortunate accident. Or totally make it look like a suicide if you want.

Please contact me if your interested in the cooler I now own the assets
Can't wait to see if I win one
reassured me we can put the food even when ...!
If purchased now, Is it available to ship already? Or are you still fulfilling backers only at this time?
+rob5hh We are focused on shipping to backers first, but production is ramping up and we are taking orders for delivery soon.

GREAT!!!
Can two speakers fit in the accessory dock?
vb4life1 No - the Party Pairing feature was designed for outdoors and you'll get the best sound by having the two speakers in different locations.
I thought the coolest had led lighting?
mwilliamson77
Minute 4 and 10 seconds
mwilliamson77 it does - LED in the lid.
+mwilliamson77 it does - button in the left lid activates LED light which is powered by the main battery.
Hey, ive been watching your coolest cooler since the kickstarter, used the kickstarter success when writing some of my research papers. Best cooler ever! But not worth 500 dollars!
What success!!! 1000’s of people were ripped off. We’ve been waiting for 3 years now to get what we paid for. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!!!!!
They are not worth anything because you will not receive them. They are ripoffs!!!!
I ordered my margarita green coolest cooler in kickstarter in August 2014. I have never received it to date. Nothing but excuses! I have requested a refund for over 2 years now! What a scam!
Was waiting for him to talk about the actual reason to have a cooler which is to keep stuff cold lol Never happened in 9 minutes.
Use solar power to keep charge on this beast and it would be much better!
so you pack a blender on the boat or to the beach...where do put the ice? appears to not hold much ice...sir that is what a cooler is supposed to do , holding ice and drinks is very important here. not a blender
How much?
It really sucks because this was an AMAZING idea. This guy could've really changed how coolers are made, but alas he failed and his company failed.
Man, you have created an ecomonster which is totally unnecessary
how much does it weigh
+Cleavon Ash 39lbs in the box as shipped.
If it comes with plates and one knife it should have forks, spoons, and more knifes
The Bomb.com
I'm SOLD on the blender & charger because I am a plant based eating SMOOTHIE girl🍀
You should have list the price and show more of the amount of storage space inside....
ALSO how long is the battery life once charged
THANKS FOR SHARING👍
Dont bother!!! You wont get it shipped
+chevrock22 We've made and shipped 35,000 already and are making good progress on production.
Losing your source for electric motors is not progress for production.
Fucking swiss army knife of coolers lol.
Too expensive 👌🏼💵only the rich one can buy that Coolest cooler😪.
Gabbie Espinal glad I ordered one with the KS as well. Just wanting it to actually show up :)
+Gabbie Espinal Same
IDUBBBZ!!!
Way too expensive, I'm sorry but the goal was $50,000 and your team gained about $20 million. Would the price have been any larger if you gained only about $50,000
Yes.. $485 not a cool to buy at all
There is nothing unique about this product. It’s just a bunch of different products… like a gift basket.
not that cool lol
