The search isn't over because this has to go back and I have to go back to searching for what I need. I wanted to love this, I'd settle for liking it a lot, but I can only say that it was between okay and "you've got to be kidding me!!!!'. Explanation to the "You've got to be kidding me!!!!" Is that I just began being a grocery shopper and delivery person so I spent hours searching for the perfect product, before my first shift, to keep the customers groceries separated from cold, hot and dry goods. I was hoping for sturdy and well made all around. I got unsteady and some material not in great shape. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it. I had my first order and delivery tonight and it was so embarrassing because the customer *my first one* was on his porch waiting for me to take his bags to his door and it was only eleven items, however it took "˜foreveeeeer' because as I was removing bags, the thing kept sliding around and collapsing and folding up on me. Unprofessional and embarrassing. Not a good start to a new job.

Pros:
The compartments are a perfect size, 11 x 11 and fit a really good amount of meats in the insulated areas with room to spare. (Please note that the insulation isn't something I would trust for more than a trip from the store to home). I've moved and traveled long distances over 30 times in the past 20 years, always with a lot of food for the kids, ex and myself so I'm kind of at expert level here. The insulation should not be considered reliable for more than a short trip. Plus I have my national certification in Food Service and Sanitation *Culinary 101*. For your own well being I can't express it enough that this isn't safe for food long storage times. That was kind of a pro and con in one.......

2. I was concerned that it wouldn't fit the width of my car, because my car is small, but it was an absolute perfect fit. I have a Hyundai Veloster, I know, I never heard of a Veloster until I got it, but I "˜love It'!!!

That's all I've got on pros. I may have kept it for general purposes, but not for my specific needs.

Cons:

1. Doesn't stay in place
2. Collapses constantly making it tough to easily put things in and grab things out of the compartments efficiently.
3. The insulated parts aren't well insulated at all and getting the zippered areas unzipped in a hurry was difficult because of the way it's designed.
4. As another reviewer mentioned, the sides, which should be sturdy or at very least, sturdier.....you can see the thin cardboard at the bottom of the two middle compartments as the fabric isn't sewn at the inside/bottom points.
5. No way to really secure this with bungee cords or anything to keep it in place.

So.....there it is. I'm disappointed because this seemed the perfect item. I'm returning it which is now leaving me with nothing to use for my next 4 days of shifts at minimum while I search for another product.....which I can't do until I get a refund from this one.

Would I recommend: Yes, maybe, probably for some things like a day at the beach, car cleaning and other supplies, typical car trunk items, but not if you need to constantly be in and out of it. Too much collapsing during putting bags in and taking bags out caused "˜much' frustration, slowed me down *I "˜am' being timed by the shopper app* and it's embarrassing if a customer is watching and/or waiting for you so they can cook, eat, get on with their lives instead of waiting for me to unload their groceries.

Summery:
Good for casual and infrequent, taking things out and putting in, type use. *I'd have kept it for that*
Sucks for what my uses are. Sooooo, the search isn't over.......

P.S. If I can edit this review, I'll try to add photos during daylight hours.

I hope anything I've shared here here helped you make a decision......even a little.

Useful for a vehicle - but it slides around too much...Even with my stash of travel water bottles in it to weigh it down, it slides around too much in our minivan. I will probably have to attach double sided carpet tape to the bottom to stop it from sliding around...The 2 insulated/cooler ends seem to work great. I would buy it again. I would only recommend it when it is redesigned with Velcro on the bottom to stop it from sliding around. We do not use it for hauling groceries - we use it as storage in our minivan for all the 'stuff' we keep in it for our frequent road trips. WE use the cooler ends for bringing home leftovers when we dine out.

This has given us our sanity back after conversion to an SUV with a totally flat back tailgate area. We'd stick groceries or anything else in the trunk and it'd roll around with the smallest touch of the wheel. This has loops that we attached to hoops in the hatch area and it's not gone anywhere since. The cold compartments actually work, but the zippers are JUNK. They're exceptionally hard to get closed, so most times I don't try. Would definitely buy again, but do wish the zipper compartments were better.

The cooler parts keep cool items cool as they should and the middle sections are great for additional storage. Would be better if there were handles or something in the middle rather than just on the far sides as well as a latch or button to hold the middle sections together when not in use. When traveling they are great for the organized storage, just not for removing items from vehicle to location in the compartment.

I absolutely LOVE these! Very nicely made. Excellent quality. Fits PERFECTLY across the back of my Chevy Traverse. I use two and they are perfect for even my largest of grocery shopping. Makes loading and unloading of plastic grocery bags a snap! Lets me sort my parcels by type so much easier. And, when you need to store them, they have a very nice velcro system that closes and locks them down so that they take up the space of perhaps a medium pizza box on it's side. When storing, I put them in the pouch area behind my front seats. Love the attention to detail in the insulated areas (double zippered). Highly recommend. Will buy more for Christmas Gifts.
