I'm not sure what the Chinese cooler comment is supposed to mean. Chinese coolers can be bought very cheap. This cooler is expensive because it is rotomolded not because it was made in China. Just a creative way to point out it was made in China maybe?
Anyway.
I paid $150 for my 45qt and it has been a great financial decision no doubt about it. I assume this one will be the same.

I don't "need it" but its cheaper in the long run for me, more convenient, and safer for the meat I will often leave in it for a week at a time.

I certainly wouldn't buy one if you wouldn't get the use out of it but I do.

Definitely not for everybody, that is why I ask before I bothered with a review. I'll mark you down as "no"
