Not only is the
RovR RollR Camping Cooler tough enough to resist a bear attack, it's also versatile enough to serve as a meal prep station, beverage holder, seat, or luggage cart.
Let me get two things out of the way right now: Yes, the RovR RollR cooler is expensive, but it's also a lifetime purchase. In fact, your grandkids could probably use one that you buy today. Second, yes it's big and heavy.
I'm 6'2" and in pretty good shape and even I struggle when I have to lift the thing over my head to store it away on a garage shelf, and it does take up a fair amount of trunk space in the car, too. But here's the other side of the coin: This thing is one of the best coolers I've ever seen, hands down. And that's true for so many reasons.
First, as the name suggests, the RollR rolls along on a pair of nine-inch puncture-resistant and aggressively treaded tires, so even when this already heavy piece of hardware is loaded up with eats and beverages, you can still tow it over all sorts of terrain with relative ease. And you can do that by hand or, with an attachment, behind your bike.
We'll talk about what goes on inside the RovR RollR in a second, but first note that it comes with a collapsible bin that attaches to the top of the cooler, offering you a convenient spot to load up gear that you want to bring from the car to the campsite, picnic spot, or wherever else you're headed. You can also hook a wooden tray and two beverage holders onto the side of the cooler, creating a convenient meal prep spot or even using the cooler as an impromptu mini table.
But it's the chill factor that really counts here. Thanks to solid rotomolded walls and two inches of foam insulation, the RovR RollR has amazing 10-day ice retention potential when you load the cooler properly and keep it sealed as often as possible. That seal resists bears, by the way, in case you missed the tidbit. Within the cooler is a dry bin in which you can store anything you want to stay cold but not get wet, such as fruits, veggies, bread, cheese, or, well, anything.
I took my RovR RollR camping within two weeks of owning it and the cooler performed like a champ. It also immediately unseated my previous camping cooler, which has now been relegated to that sad status of the backup cooler, a position it will occupy indefinitely, because I don't think I could break my RollR if I tried. Which I won't, because it's expensive.
Wired called the RovR RollR an "extremely effective" cooler with "plenty of internal room" and "a good bin design," but the reviewer did also note its "beastly" 45-pound weight.
Pros: Amazing 10-day ice retention, works with multiple accessories, built to last a lifetime
Cons: Very heavy, rather expensive
