How is the wheel quality? How are the wheels secured to the cooler?

I've had this cooler for a long time & have never had any issues with the wheels that are very secured to the bottom of the cooler with a steel rod running across. It's a very sturdy & reliable cooler. However, I do keep a watchful eye on mine to make sure that no one sits on it as the top is not meant for sitting (which people tend to want to do) but meant for holding drinks in the built drink holders on top. I've seen this item sold in sporting goods stores if you ever want to see it for yourself before purchasing.

We had the cooler filled with frozen heavy items.....the wheels worked perfectly. We had no problem at all. As far as how they are secured, we have stored it in the attic and don't remember. Igloo is a respected brand name and I am sure they stand behind their product quality.

I have not needed to roll the cooler for long distances. I estimate that it has rolled a total of 100 yards with 60+ pounds of weight. So far no problems.

Wheel quaility is very good. They are 3/4 closed construction and ~ 5" in diameter. The two wheels are connected via a steel rod that's under the cooler. I've rolled from car to table very smoothly.

Wheels are plastic, but appear to be good. I can not recall how the wheels were connected. I sent the cooler back as the person I bought it for was concerned that the handle may not be secure enough for the weight of a full cooler with ice and bottled water. The cooler itself was extremely good at keeping the water cold.

Rubber around the plastic wheels and they are good quality. So far we found no issue with it.

In the picture if you glide over the leg part you can see the faint line separating the tubular steel from the leg post. The post or wheel kind of just push on. The casters themselves remind me of those cheap wheels attached to laundry hampers or portable closets. I bypassed those and used the posts. They seem to be secure and they hold our King Size Gel Memory Foam Mattress so far with no problems.

I gave the cooler as a gift so I don't have a lot of personal experience but my dad has been extremely happy with the cooler. The Styrofoam on the lid doesn't seem to have the best seal. Sorry for the vague info but hope it helps

I've used it little but so far a smooth surface would be optimal. The wheels themselves move around like a shopping cart, unless you know of a way to lock them in one direction.

The smaller wheel attaches to the top of the bag. The larger wheels go under the frame in the bag

The unit does not feature wheels. It is not any more heavy than a standard cooler when empty.

4.0 out of 5 stars installation/ first glance product quality, August 19, 2014 Verified Purchase This review is from: Igloo Stainless Steel Cooler Latch (Sports) This review is based only after install, as i have not used this enough to discuss lasting use. Received product in good time. The actual hinge itself goes back into the original holes. The nipple (for lack of better words) that is used to secure the latch when closed, had to be moved further down from where the original was. only about 3/8 to half inch further down. all was very easy to do and took maybe 7 minutes to complete. the cooler is plastic and the screws are basically self tapping, no big deal to tackle yourself. The hinge/latch is of better quality than that of the plastic one i had. I went through 2 sets of plastic hinges. As far as i can tell, the set up i have now should last the life of the cooler. 9/25/14 -I am editing this review as several folks have questions about "will this latch fit, will it line up with existing holes" etc. if your cooler is plastic, you can self tap new holes if the new latches don't align just perfectly. you can glue or use clear or white calking to seal up the old holes. Chances are, they will be covered up with the new latch anyways. These are universal latches, meaning - some modification may be needed. these latches are 3.66 inches wide and 5.75 inches long. as long as your cooler isn't bulging out or changing shape really close to where the latches are, you should have no issues using these latches. now mind you, you may have to put the screws in new holes as they probably wont line up, but that is a simple fix as i said before.

Yes, the wheels lock great. The hold in the middle is slightly smaller in my opinion but still is very functional. I think it is a great chair.

Its quite large and can hold a large cooler inside of it. I didn't use it without the cooler because its not well insulated, but will hold a large 42quart cooler if i remember correctly.

Yes, it will hold a cooler and everything else you want to transport. We love this cart!

I don't have the exact measurements of the opening but I can say my cooler is 32" long and 18" wide with wheels and it fits no problem. The area for the cooler is flexible so you could probably fit a cooler up to 36".

For the wheel you can put a small block or somthing under it. My wheel has a block under it and it has never fell off. My look out is on the top of my cage so I do not have a problem with it.

They are good wheels, suitable for the purpose. I too walk several miles/wk, and find them good. They are not skateboard quality,( which are my preference), but for a buggy with 100 lbs or less, on cement sidewalks they seem tbe durable. If you are on gravel or uneven dirt roads, it may not be enough.But the buggy is great, in general and much better and more useful than the cheaper wire baskets I have used. Ive had mine, used regularly for several months, and I find little to complain about. ( b/c the wheels swivel easily, and the sidewalks in my neighborhood, tilt for runoff, they tend to follow the tilt. Only complaint I have. They are good wheels, suitable for the purpose.

It is sturdy! Very nice quality. I guess you could leave the wheels odd and sit it straight on the ground, but the wheels also lock. So you can lock the wheels in place to accomplish the same purpose.

wheels are built with quick releases included. they do require rim tape. up to a 2.3mm tire should be okay.thanks,

Wheels are still a weakness on the unit......they are hard rubber on a metal rim. One of my wheels has a slight wobble.
