Description

The Dometic Recon Hardside 69L is the large hard cooler at the base of the stackable Recon system. It holds 100 cans and is tall enough for wine bottles, sized for longer trips.

Injection-molded construction with welded seams and two inches of insulation keep it light. Dometic rates Recon up to 30% lighter than other coolers of the same size. A rubber top limits slipping when you stack more Recon units on top.

Questions

How much does the Recon Hardside 69L hold?
The Recon 69L holds 100 cans and is tall enough for wine bottles, per Dometic, which sizes it for longer trips. Outside it measures 16.54 in wide, 17.95 in high and 33.07 in deep. Dometic calls it the foundation of a stackable Recon system, and it is the largest of the 16 L, 41 L and 69 L Recon hardsides.
Can other Recon coolers stack on top of the 69L?
Yes. Dometic says the stackable design and a rubber top that minimizes slipping and skidding let you pack multiple Recons in minimal space. Non skid feet on each Recon nest into the lids of other Recon units for secure stacking. Dometic says the 69L works on its own or as the base of a multi cooler Recon system.
Which way does the Recon 69L lid open?
Either way. Per Dometic, the dual opening lid opens from the front or the back with pivot latches, or you can remove it entirely for a top down load in. The lid is non skid, and the die cast metal latch catchers double as a bottle opener, according to the maker's feature list.
Why is the Recon 69L lighter than a roto molded cooler?
Dometic uses injection molded construction with welded seams and two inches of performance insulation, which it says makes Recon up to 30 percent lighter than other coolers of the same size and less bulky than roto molded options. Net weight is 33 lb. Covered by the Dometic manufacturer warranty.
What accessories come inside the Recon 69L?
Dometic includes a divider and a drop in basket with the Recon 69L. The insulated drain plug attaches above the drain with a magnet. The cooler also integrates with other Recon accessories, which Dometic notes are not included.
Can the Recon 69L be locked or strapped down?
Yes. Dometic lists space efficient lock and tie down points on the Recon 69L. Its soft touch ergonomic handles flip down when not in use and are easy to grab even when the cooler is fully loaded. The maker describes the design as a vehicle optimized Recon system with no wasted space.
