What matters when buying
Litres against bottles, and ice
Capacity claims assume the tub is packed with bottles and nothing else. In practice ice takes up around half the volume, so a 6.5 litre tub is a handful of bottles and a 13 litre one is a small party. The 25-bottle claim at rank 1 is a bottles-only figure.
Emptying it when the ice goes
Ice becomes water within an hour or two indoors, and an open tub with no drain has to be carried to a sink while full. If the tub lives on a table or a wooden deck, plan for lifting it out, or choose a size you can actually pour away one-handed.
Insulated cooler or open tub
Only one entry here is an insulated cooler; the rest are single-wall plastic, acrylic or galvanised steel. An open tub looks better and serves faster, but the ice is gone in a couple of hours on a warm day. Insulation buys time, at the cost of hiding the drinks.
Clear or opaque
Half of these are deliberately transparent, because a visible tub of bottles on ice is part of the display at a party. Galvanised steel hides the meltwater and the labels facing the wrong way, and it will not scratch or craze the way acrylic does after a few seasons.
Handles and the weight when loaded
A 13 litre tub filled with bottles and ice is heavy and awkward, and thin plastic handles are the first thing to fail. Check the tub is carried from moulded side grips rather than a clip-on handle, especially if it has to travel to a garden or a beach.
Single tub or pack of two
Four of these listings are the same brand in two sizes, each sold singly and in twin packs, and the per-tub price moves a long way between them. Two smaller tubs also beat one large one if you want beer at one end of the garden and soft drinks at the other.
How the score is calculated — and what it is not
Der Passungs-Score (0–10) ist der nach deinem Bedarf gewichtete Schnitt aus sieben Kriterien — kein eigener Labortest.
The score is not our own hands-on test. It is calculated transparently from public Amazon data: 75% from the average star rating and 25% from the number of reviews, weighted logarithmically. The ranking order itself comes from estimated monthly revenue per ASIN. Prices, ratings and review counts were retrieved from Amazon.co.uk on 22 July 2026 and can change at any time.
