1. Capacity
Similar to a conventional ice chest, capacity for Outdoor Patio Cooler Cart is the most important factor to consider when choosing a patio cooler.

Standard patio coolers have a 20-gallon cooler, enough to hold 70-100 12 oz. cans. Go higher if you are looking for a cooler that can handle large parties or smaller if you need a patio cooler for just yourself or you and your partner.

2. Construction

The best patio coolers are made with stainless steel. It is durable and weatherproof.

Make sure the cooler is sturdy and has lockable wheels for easy portability.

3. Finish
Rattan-finished patio coolers are popular, but you can also find coolers with a plain metal exterior or a rustic wooden finish.

4. Storage

Extra storage on a patio cooler is handier than you think. A bottom shelf can be especially useful for storing utensils or some extra drinks that don't need to be chilled.

Some patio coolers also come with side shelves and a bar or handle to hang a hand towel.

5. Insulation
Almost all patio coolers you'll find in the market have an insulated ice chest. But it's always good to check. Some just have a metal box with no insulation. Ice melts within no time.

Also, check the quality of insulation. If you want the ice to stay frozen for more than a day, get a patio cooler with thick insulation and an insulated lid as well.

6. Detachable Base

The ability to detach the cooler from the base makes it easier to travel with the cooler or store it away.

7. Drain Plug
A drain plug is a must-have. It makes it easy to get rid of melted water from the cooler chest. Some coolers have a hose-compatible drain plug that allows you to connect a hose for easier draining.
