It works great for everything from heading to our friend's house for an evening of sharing cocktails, to keeping groceries cold while I'm running other errands in town, to packing up snacks and drinks for bringing to the park with the kids. It tows around easily with the flip-up handle, and the built-in cupholders in the lid are a nice bonus feature. MADE IN THE USA!! :)" —Dennis F

Promising review: "This bug spray is great for casual use. It smells pretty good for a bug spray. It also dries really fast (definitely dry feeling) and leaves no noticeable residue behind.

Promising review: "Has everything you could want or need! This is a great radio! I was looking for a weather radio for use in emergencies and power outages. This exceeds my expectations on every level. It uses not only AC power but AA batteries and comes with an internal rechargeable battery (how often do you see that in a budget-friendly radio?) and a crank that can even help charge your phone when power is out! Weather radio, flashlight, lantern, thermometer-GPX — thought of everything! I really recommend choosing this great product if you're in the market for a great weather-enabled radio. It gives you so much more!" —Debbie8142
