The cooler has wheels and is made from rugged roto-cast polyethylene so it's light weight and less expensive. It has the same heavy duty motor and hard-wearing components as Paragon's metal models using tinted high-impact polycarbonate side panels making it safe, easy to clean, and tinted blue to shade the ice from quick melt down. Super for rental stores and moonwalk operators! Could be a fashionable item for home parties... as well as to keep everyone cool from the summer heat.
