Coleman Steel-Belted Cooler vs Igloo Profile

The Coleman Steel-Belted Cooler 54-Qt makes for a good, if unremarkable, Hard Cooler for people with a $160 budget.

The Igloo Profile 16-Qt, however, is merely mediocre at its $28 asking price, when compared to similarly priced products, and won't satisfy the needs of most people.

In either case, we suggest that you first take a look at some other options at the $160 and $55 price points before committing to one of these - it's likely that you'll be able to find some better alternatives.
