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 lid, is packed with high-density insulation, and the 1" thick lid comes included, 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.

Cody L.★★★☆☆April 27, 2018
Good, but could be better

The 28-inch size of this drop-in ice chest is perfect for our outdoor bar area, and it definitely keeps drinks cold for a long time. However, I found the installation a bit trickier than expected, and the drain plug feels a little flimsy for such a premium product. It gets the job done, but for the price, I was hoping for a smoother setup.

Danielle P.★★★★★September 6, 2016
Essential for any outdoor kitchen!

This insulated ice chest is a game-changer for our outdoor kitchen. We hosted a big BBQ last weekend, and even in the scorching heat, the ice lasted all day and well into the night. The drop-in design looks incredibly sleek and professional, blending perfectly with our other Sunstone components.

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

The insulation on this ice chest is pretty good, keeping beverages chilled for hours during our backyard parties. The 28-inch size is ample for a good amount of drinks and food. My only real gripe is the price; it feels a little steep for what it is, even with the quality construction.

Oscar T.★★★☆☆May 9, 2015
Solid performance, minor quibbles

This ice chest does exactly what it's supposed to – keeps ice frozen for an impressive duration. The drop-in design was straightforward to integrate into my custom island. My only minor complaint is that the lid sometimes feels a bit heavy and could use a smoother closing mechanism.

Rosa H.★★★★★March 2, 2009
Perfect addition to our patio!

As a serious BBQ enthusiast, this insulated ice chest is a dream come true. We used it for a big family cookout, and it held all our drinks and marinades perfectly, staying icy cold for over 24 hours. The quality of the stainless steel is top-notch, and it truly elevates the look and functionality of our outdoor kitchen.
