How long does it hold ice?
A shopper
on May 31, 2019
BEST ANSWER: 12-2018 TEST: Empty cooler + 20# crushed & 10# block ice. No precool. Kept cooler inside Jeep parked outside in sun. Opened only once/day to drain & weigh melt every 24hrs. Consistent loss of only 2#/day. Still had tiny bit of ice on 14th day. Very happy with this cooler! Highly recommend! Hope this helps.

I can only give an anecdotal answer but my girlfriend took our Emperor 80 on a weekend trip and when she got home, forgot to empty it. It was in the garage for about a week before she remembered. There was still ice and the food was still cold!

Depends on surrounding climate. Outside in Las Vegas where I live in the summer (100 degrees), 2-2.5 days. In other seasons or inside, at least 3 days, easily up to 4 or more. ROI (value for price) is strong.

I tow it behind the motorcycle all across the Country... in cooler climate it would last 3 or 4 days, in the warmer climate I'd have to add ice daily.

I’ve only used a couple times so haven’t fully tested in all conditions, but IMO works as good as my yeti to make it worth it.

I haven't tried that test, but it does have a very good seal. See my ice holding review.

has anyone found a basket that fits this model?
Jeffery J
on Mar 22, 2022
BEST ANSWER: Somewhere in a purchaser review of this cooler, someone noted a basket that fits the 50. I'll see if I can find it. I have two 50's and a 25. Mine keep ice so well, I haven't dealt with anything wet yet.

Great for keeping things cold, some significant annoyances though
I don't have a Yeti, but I bet that this is competitive in terms of function, jut not in terms of fit and finish. Others have mentioned the difficulty of the cap on drain. I will add that the rubber latches break super easily. We broke both the second weekend we used ours. You can get replacements on amazon for about $20, but it's a bummer that the OEM ones are so cheaply made.

Emperor 25 & 50 Cooler
I am quite pleased (so far) with the white color 25 and 50 I bought. I have used both for 3 to 5 days every week since I purchased them from Monoprice. They were both transported in my carpeted open truck bed and then onto the boat under half shade and half sun. Both performed very well retaining ice. They are remarkably solid. I weigh 285 and have stood on both of them.

I didn't think it held up to the temperatures in the south during mid summer very well but I really liked the cooler. I loved the option to strap it down on the sides while still being able to get the lid open, that was awesome. I haul it behind a motorcycle on a little trailer so maybe that's why I had to add ice Dailey when in the southern states but overall I really liked it
