Tools and Hardware Reviews of Dead On Tools DO-300 Killer Chiller Mobile Cooler/Lunch box, Black
Customer Review: Looks like a bag a Pirate would carry.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this because of the Pirate motif. When it arrived, I noticed that it is quite saggy. The bottom section will collapse on it's own just sitting there with nothing in it.
When it is sagging like that it is hard to move the bottom zipper because the zipper is folded too much. Another review stated that the zipper is too big. I think this is true. A smaller zipper would not bind as much.
When it is full, it doesn't sag as much because the contents are holding it up. Once you start taking stuff out, it will begin to sag again.
As far as performance, it will keep the contents cold for quite a while. I never put perishable food in the top section. I use the top for stuff like plastic utensils , OTC medicine, gum, trail mix, etc.
I use a 3 x 5 x 1.5 size blue ice block. When I get home it is still partially frozen after 12 hours or so. I do not leave the bag in my car. The place I work is inside and no more than 80 F.
This bag is more than big enough for 2 breaks and a lunch worth of food plus a little more. For many people anyway. I try to limit the calories myself.
I gave it 4 stars because it does keep food cold, and it looks like something a Pirate would carry. It looses one star for sagging.
Customer Review: Great bag- except for the lining material
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been using this bag for about 6 months now and I love it! I take my breakfast and lunch with me to work each day and this bag holds it all. I put a flat cold pack underneath and one on top of the food in the lower compartment and it keeps everything cold all day and into the evening. It even keeps the upper compartment cold enough to keep something cool. The zippers work fine and the outer material is pretty much indestructible. The one thing that prevented me from giving it 5 stars is that after about 3 months of usage, the plastic/vinyl lining material started to crack and split- especially near the zipper and in fact gets caught in the zipper at times. I've had to tape some areas to prevent it from getting into the zipper. This affects the aesthetics more than the function and it is not enough of a nuisance to prohibit me from giving this bag a very positive 2 thumbs up!Customer Review: Very good lunchbox, but could be better
Summary: 4 Stars
Purchased two of these for my kids for school (they love the skull/bones, mom hates it). They have good zippers and solid construction, but I can see the lining will tear out after a while. My main complaint though is that there is nothing to keep the shape of the bottom compartment so the whole thing is usually a mis-shapen pile which leads to squished fruit/sandwiches.
A similar sized/shaped lunchbox but superior in most ways is my box from Duluth Trading Company ([...]). It corrects all these problems plus adds a convenient pocket for an ice packet. The Dead On is a super value and very rugged but doing over, I would spent the $35 for the DTC one.
Customer Review: just what i needed
Summary: 4 Stars
My dad is so picky about the weirdest things particularly his lunchbox! He had been carrying his old one for years and it was looking super gross, but he refused to get rid of it because he hated the replacements my mom and I bought him. I was so relieved when I saw this one, its exactly like the one he had before only A LOT sturdier. Its plenty big enough to hold all of the sandwiches and water bottles he takes to work, and because of the two separate compartments, his sandwiches won't ever get squished again! I am super happy with this product, but I need to figure out how to get it all un-smushed from when it was shipped to me.Customer Review: 2 tiered multi meal carrier.
Summary: 4 Stars
If you want to take both lunch AND dinner (or breakfast and lunch) -- get this. It has 2 large compartments. This also accommodates ice packs nicely. This is FAR bigger than the typical desk job lunch requires. Might be good for short car trips and those odd days you're feeding a few or just want to toss in a bunch of food in a bag and go on a (very tough looking) picnic. Bit bigger than I bargained for despite the warnings, now I know. I'll keep it on hand but will use my ebags slim lunchbox for most of the time. If I choose to experiment with a lunch /microwave dinner combo this bag will be perfect.
