We purchased one and have been pleased. It seems to add an additional half day before having to add ice. And we no longer have to wrap the cooler with a towel. We would make the purchase again. Van & Terri
I assume it still slides into the cooler parking area?

It does. That is the main benefit. It makes it easier to slide in and out of the cooler stowage location. No need to wrap a towel around the cooler or anything. Plus, there is a strap across the front to give you something to pull on when taking it out.

Wow, a few months in one spot. Peg and I will be heading out in a couple weeks. Have to do our "shake down cruise" first. The Silver Pullit" is ready except for adding food and some sunshine. We are planning on heading to Whidbey Island to see my family, then Hood canal for Pegs family, over to the coast then south to ? We just want to be home for July and August then back out again. No other real plans other than avoiding the BTKs. If we get close to Bend we will try to see you if possible. Enjoy your trip.

We also use the cozy, but I made an insert that goes in the cooler out of the aluminium looking insulation and joined the seams with metal tape. It keeps the food cooler for longer. I ALSO do not like putting my hands in ice Water. So I put salt in plastic used juice containers and fill them with water and freeze them. I put one in each corner. When they thaw, the water is contained. Salt water freezes at a lower temp. So it last longer.

YES.
Have had and used for three years. Gets washed in the machine a couple times each year. Ours is starting to wear - zipper jumps the track if you're not careful. Will immediately buy another if/when it becomes unusable.

am curious how much salt you use (my understanding is, you have to use a LOT)

We were an early buyer of the cooler cozy and agree it extends the ice about a third. We have noticed some wear on the bottom due to the lip of the storage lid. We have learned to lift the cooler as we remove it to lessen the wear in the cozy. Will definitely buy another when the need arises.
I took a piece of scrap carpet and put carpet tape around the raw edges. Made a couple of loops out of the carpet tape so I could get a hold of it to pull it out. The carpet side is down and the fridge sits on it. This makes it easy to pull out the fridge and saves ware on the cozy. I also use those reflectors that you put inside your car windshield to cover the fridge and my ice chests.
I really want to know how much salt to put in the water. I use the cashew jars from Costco.
