ROVR RollR 45 Cooler Review

This Cooler is SICK, plain and simple. The features, the accessibility, the coldness, all of it are top notch and comparable with the best on the market. Many people consider Yeti to be the top of the crop when it comes to these coolers, but the ROVR gives it a run for its money.

Let’s start with the wheels. Many of the molded coolers on the market have cute little tiny wheels, but once you load up your cooler with food and ice it gets so heavy that the wheels won’t roll. This is especially true when you get away from pavement. I tested the ROVR wheels in sand, dirt and even mud and they rolled right through with ease.

Perhaps my favorite feature of the cooler is the dry box on the inside of the cooler. It separates the items you’d like to keep dry like meats and cheeses that in a typical cooler would get waterlogged after a couple of the days from the ice and other iced down items of the cooler. The only downfall of this cooler compared to the others I’ve seen on the market is the amount of time it keeps ice cold. It’s rated for 72 hours but on the trips I’ve take it only stays frozen for about 48 hours, depending on outdoor temps.

There are some interesting add-ons and features offered with the ROVR, including carry pouches, a cutting board, cup holders and cooler topping carry box. All are well made and usable under the right circumstances.

Overall, I’m extremely impressed with the ROVR. Having gotten the smallest size, I’d suggest it for no longer than a two day trip as it’s a little small. But as far as function goes, it’s a wonderful cooler that I’ll certainly use for years to come.
