Description

The 28" Insulated Large Drop-In Ice Chest (A-IC) is a built-in ice chest for an outdoor kitchen or bar. Every panel, including the 1" thick lid, is packed with high-density insulation, so ice lasts longer even on hot days. In direct sun it keeps contents cold longer than many standard outdoor fridges.

The chest measures 28" W x 21" D x 13-1/2" H and needs a cut-out of 26-1/8" W x 19-1/8" D x 10-1/4" H. The basin is extra deep for large amounts of ice, drinks or chilled food.

It is built from food-safe 304 stainless steel inside and out, using 16, 18 and 20 gauge material, with a No. 4 light brushed finish that matches the rest of the Sunstone line. The rectangle shape has sharp, modern edges, and the rigid lid stands up to weather, rain and sun.

All hardware and instructions for drop-in mounting are included, and it works in thicker counters too. See our warranty page for coverage.

Good, but could be better

The 28 inch size is perfect for our outdoor bar and it keeps drinks cold a long time. But install was trickier than I expected and the drain plug feels a little flimsy for something this nice. Gets the job done, I was just hoping for an easier setup for the price.

Ice lasted all day

Love this ice chest. We had a big BBQ last weekend and even in the heat the ice lasted all day and into the night. The drop in looks sleek and matches our other Sunstone stuff.

Cecilia G.★★★☆☆July 12, 2011
Decent, but a bit pricey

Insulation is pretty good, keeps drinks cold for hours at our backyard parties. 28 inches holds a good amount of drinks and food. My only real gripe is the price, feels a little steep for what it is even though it's well made.

Works well, minor quibbles

Does what it's supposed to, keeps ice frozen a long time. The drop in was easy to fit into my custom island. Only minor complaint is the lid feels a bit heavy and could close smoother.

Rosa H.★★★★★March 2, 2009
Great for big cookouts

I'm big into BBQ and this ice chest is great. We used it for a big family cookout and it held all our drinks and marinades and stayed icy for over 24 hours. The stainless is good quality and it looks great in our outdoor kitchen.

Q
How hard is it to install this ice chest, and what size opening do I need?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
With basic DIY skills it's pretty straightforward. You'll need a countertop cutout that matches its dimensions so it drops in flush. Make sure your island can support the weight when it's full of ice and drinks, and plan how you'll route the drain during the install.

Q
What's the ice chest made of? Will it hold up outside all year?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
It's high grade stainless steel, which is known for being tough and resisting corrosion. It handles sun, rain and temperature swings without rusting or breaking down. A quick wipe after you use it keeps it looking great.

Q
Will this ice chest keep ice for a long time in a really hot place like Arizona?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
Yes, it's fully insulated, so it holds ice well even in hot weather. The insulation cuts down on heat getting in and keeps drinks cold for a long time. For best results, pre-chill it with a bag of ice before you fill it all the way.

Q
How do I clean the ice chest so it doesn't get smelly or moldy?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
After each use, drain the melted water, wipe the inside with mild soap and water and rinse it. For stubborn stains or to prevent mold, you can use a diluted bleach solution. Make sure it's completely dry before you close it so odors and mildew don't form.
