I've been using this lunch box 2 days a week for my in-office days at work since about June 2025. So far, I am happy with it. I received the color shown in the picture. I like that it has multiple handles and a strap. It is expandable, which is nice when I need to take a few extra items. When it's not expanded, it's a nice size that fits a good amount but I can also fit it in my tote bag. I don't love that the expandable material somewhat encroaches on the main compartment space when not expanded; however, I'm sure that's unavoidable. The materials seem to be durable. The zipper is a little sticky like other reviewers mentioned but I've not had it break on me. I do try to be gentle with it. I think my favorite part is the flat ice pouches that come with it and have their own compartments. The pouches keep the lunch box cold the entire workday. I leave the house around 5:45AM and get home around 4:00PM and they're still cold when I get home. It does get some condensation on the inside of the pouches, but I usually leave everything unzipped and open overnight, and it's all dried out by morning. If the ambient room temperature is warm enough, sometimes it can get condensation on the outside of the bag, but minimally. Overall, I am happy with this purchase and I would recommend it to others.

I cannot get over how effective this bag works for someone on the go. My partner works out of their vehicle and access to a cold preserved lunch has been a challenge, that is until we purchased this bag. We’ve had a similar bag before so when it was time to replace it, we knew exactly what was needed. The temperature is kept cold with the two ice walls. The expandable feature and external zipper pocket allows more capacity for storage and things that you’d like to keep dry. The product is made well and is very durable and portable for every day use. At the end of the work day these bags are simple to wipe down and keep clean. Read more
Quick back story: I have only used this cooler for a week since it came in the mail last week. I was used to using a 6-pack hard plastic cooler to carry my lunches because I've always thought real ice did the best job keeping my stuff cold, and I used to bring more food than the average person due to weight lifting and it had more room. The 6 pack cooler became inconvenient over time due to its bulky size, and the ice left everything wet so that was annoying too; therefore I decided to be open to a new product. I heard good reviews last year about Arctic Zone coolers and I finally decided a few weeks ago to consider one. After looking at several reviews I settled on the Deep Freeze. Review: The ice packs stay cold for at least 6 hours just as advertised, and will really probably keep food colder longer as they are still pretty cold 6 hours later! The ice packs are not bulky and there is a pocket for both of them, on top and bottom, which really helps keep everything cold. The ice packs are "puncture resistant" too, by the way, but you can order 4 for $5 on the Arctic Zone website if necessary. I was afraid there may not be enough room for everything I like to bring, though this model is expandable and as you can see, will hold a 15 oz. glass bottle, a large apple, a sandwich, and a medium sized plastic container for a serving of cottage cheese (or fruit, or whatever). When expanded as shown, it will actually hold a second sandwich and another small item so there is quite a bit of room! It is well insulated and there is also an insulated pouch on top that will hold a small, flatter, item like a protein or candy bar, or maybe eating utensils. Overall it feels like a quality product and I am very pleased with it! I definitely recommend! I caught this one on sale here for $30.00 and it was definitely worth it! Read more
Very good quality. Keeps lunch plenty cold. I like it. Read more
This has to be the only lunchbox I've found that can keep my lunch cold for the entire day and longer, I work construction so there's several times where I don't get a chance to eat my lunch until 6-7pm (dinner) but this lunchbox somehow manages to keep it ice cold and ready the entire time Read more
This lunch bag is mostly great. It seems well made of durable materials and seems like it will last a long time. It would have been five stars if it weren't for the expandable feature. When collapsed and zipped up, it results in the thick inner liner bunching up and taking up a substantial amount of room on the inside (see picture). It's messy and bulky and makes the bag less efficient. I wish manufacturers would stop making lunch bags with these stupid zippered expandable features that go mostly unused. Just make another slightly bigger bag for people who need the extra room. Other than that, I like the two slots to place the included ice packs in to keep your lunch cold and I like the multiple options to carry the bag. Read more
I had purchased these 2 years ago for my sons’ school lunches and nothing surpasses the quality of these so i ordered again. The size is perfect, with an option to expand wider/taller. It comes with an ice pack, which is still frozen when my son gets home after an 8-9 hour school day! The outside material is super durable and easily wipes down, plus it comes in a variety of colors (i personally love the blue). Zipper moves easily and is sturdy and this lunchbox is very functional...great for school lunches, road trips, taking to work, the pool or park, etc. It is a beautiful color too! Read more
The ice pack pockets are great so the condensation as they thaw doesn't get all over your food. I hate having the inside of my lunch box all wet, so the waterproof ice pack pockets are great! It's pretty big when you expand it, so I can easily fit a full day's food and snacks. I also appreciate that the shoulder strap can attach to the side or top. Having it in top is handy for stuff you don't want to tip over. Read more
