Over the years Coleman has done the handle a number of different ways. They used to be flat, hence the picture you see. But the bent handle is a improvement that they now do. Normally the bent handle will fit fine in the Camp-Inn galley. But, sometimes the bend is a sharper angle in some batches of coolers we receive. Seems to be random. Then we need to bend them with a slight bit less angle to make them fit. So, this is something to watch for when purchasing a Coleman not from us, you might need to address the handle tweaking on your own.
The red, green and stainless all perform the same. It is mostly a cosmetic preference. We sell more stainless, it is just so nice. However, now with our new cooler cozy we are seeing more red and green (mostly green) being sold because it doesn't seem to matter as much what color it is inside the cooler cozy. The cozy really does make the Coleman cooler work in the galley so much nicer.
