Cooler research and development has come a long way in the last 20 years. Just a couple decades ago, coolers were flimsy plastic or styrofoam containers that could keep things cold for a couple of hours at the max. Fast forward to 2024: Durable insulated ice chests that can maintain ice for days, even in extreme temperatures, are a mainstay of every patio, garage, and campground in America.
Coolers have seriously leveled up due to big advances in materials science and design. Think rugged, rotomolded plastics and top-tier insulators that turn today’s coolers into mini fridges on the go. This engineering and materials science magic means your ice stays ice, your drinks stay cold for a whole camping trip, and food spoilage is yesterday’s worry.
Ninja is taking it one step further with the brand new Ninja FrostVault™ Cooler, now available on NinjaKitchen.com in 50-quart or 30-quart options. Just like Ninja has disrupted the outdoor pizza cooking game with the Ninja Woodfire™ Outdoor Oven and the grilling game with the Ninja Woodfire XL Grill and Smoker, this new Ninja cooler is a must-have for summer outings.

The Ninja FrostVault™ Cooler is Ninja’s first cooler, featuring built-in drawers under the ice chest. This innovative feature means the cooler keeps food cold, dry, and easily accessible without digging through a bunch of ice. Unlike those bulky coolers that require you to place items directly on ice, the Ninja FrostVault™ combines premium ice retention with fridge-like dry storage. Think about it like a portable refrigerator you can take to the lake or the beach.

Thanks to its FrostVault™ technology, you can use the dry drawer for sandwiches, bags of vegetables, or anything else you’d like to keep cold without getting soggy from melting ice. The technology transfers the cold from the main chamber to the drawer, ensuring food-safe temperatures below 40 degrees.

This leap-forward in cooler technology will make you want to sell your old cooler ASAP on Facebook Marketplace to make space in the garage. It’s that good.
Ninja FrostVault™ Cooler: Finally, a great cooler with drawers and dry storage
I recently had a chance to take the Ninja FrostVault™ down to the beach for the first nice spring beach day here in Southern California to test it out. I loved having some pasta salad and carrots handy to gnosh on for the first beach day of the season. Here’s how it works:
Step #1: Load up the ice chest with ice in the top of the Ninja FrostVault™ Cooler. Ninja recommends 25lbs of ice for maximum coldness and ice retention. Throw some drinks you want to keep cold in the top chamber to ice them down. Latch the cooler lid to seal the ice chamber.
Step #2: A latch secures the cooler’s drawers so they don’t open when you haul it around. Unlatch them, then load it up with your perishables, like sandwiches, pasta salad, charcuterie, deviled eggs, orange boats, etc. I put some cold leftover pizza from Friday night in mine. Whatever you want to keep cold and dry! Then latch the drawers so the bright orange is showing, indicating that the FrostVault™’s drawers are secure for carrying.
Step #3: Have fun out there!
The 30-quart version has one main drawer, while the 50-quart one has two. If you’re interested in using the cooler for beverages, Ninja says the 50-quart cooler can hold up to 80 cans, while the smaller 30-quart one holds up to 48 cans. Ninja claims both coolers can keep ice for days, which is the standard operating procedure for all major coolers these days.
Not only is it easy to carry and high-capacity, but it’s also lockable to keep intruders out.

In my experience, the Ninja FrostVault™ is lighter and easier to lug around than those big, bulky rotomolded coolers that have become so popular in recent years. It’s durable enough to sit on and looks great as a centerpiece for your camp. The latch is easy to use (… just don’t forget about latching the drawers, since this is a new step for packing a cooler!) and the ergonomic handles are designed for easy transport. There’s also a drainage spout on the side for hassle-free emptying and cleanup.
The Ninja FrostVault™ 50-quart and 30-quart coolers come in three colors: Lakeshore Blue, Cloud White, and Slate Gray.
The Ninja FrostVault™ is an affordable cooler in a category that seems to get more and more expensive
One important point to emphasize about the Ninja FrostVault™ is its affordability.
In an era where bulky coolers are status symbols, this durable and innovative option is reasonably priced. The 50-quart cooler is only $250 on NinjaKitchen.com, while the 30-quart version is $200 on NinjaKitchen.com. This is a significant savings compared to how unnecessarily expensive and heavy all those other name-brand rotomolded coolers can be.

In conclusion, Ninja’s very first cooler is a revolutionary advancement in cooler technology. Perfect for patios, barbecues, cookouts, beach days, Little League games, tailgates, camping trips, and more. It’s going to be a conversation starter wherever you take it this summer, plus the dry-storage is a game-changer when you want to enjoy at cold snack. It’s sleek, handsome cooler that’s easy to carry, and, best of all, it won’t break your wallet for all your outdoor adventures.
A new generation of coolers is finally here; it’s cold… and it’s dry.
