Is there a Lifetime Warranty on the Sudsbuddy® body and door?

Yes! Due to the superior durability of rotational molding, unlike the cheap metal coolers, your Sudsbuddy® will last a lifetime. The body will never rust or rot, from condensation that occurs normally over time. The Sudsbuddy® can also withstand the weight of those 170lbs kegs. We invite you to ask any other OSC manufacturer if they offer this kind of warranty. ↑ Back to Top ↑
