Did you ever find an answer, I’ve been wondering the same thing on the latches.

That is a great idea, I’m going to give that a try , the suction cup does slide on the board some, so not all the energy transfers. Sounds like your way would be more effective in a lot of situations.

I explain in the video the difference in size is not as it appears, Yeti exaggerates their size where Kong is a true Qt measurement. The video breaks down several factors that people can consider other than ice retention. The ice retention is so good in both coolers, that will not be the determining factor for most people. I used the coolers I had available that were the closest in size. I would love to repeat the ice test with the Yeti and the Kong 50 and see how much size makes a difference. Thank you for your comment.

@@JoeRevis I'm just saying, fair test would've been both coolers toped with ice for avoiding air gaps. with roto molded usually size doesn't matter because most of them have very similar construction design, there is a reason you did ice retention challenge, because it does matter, video was more for advertising kong coolers, and for what I see they are not bad at all price wise and for ice retention, but again i believe test could've been better.

Make your own video or cry in silence.

That technically wouldn’t be fair either since the yeti 35 is smaller than a 35qt. Don’t get attached to yeti numbers, they don’t mean as much as you think. It’s mostly just to trick people into thinking they’re buying a bigger cooler than they are.

I agree! Cordova Coolers are nice too, and also made in the USA. I was going to buy Pelican before I stumbled on to the Kong Coolers. I am very Happy with Kong. I owned 1 Yeti, but it really irritates me when company’s move production out of the states for greed, Traeger did the same thing with the grills, used to be made in the states and then when they started getting more popular they moved production to China. Then they keep the prices high. Lamiglas fishing rods same thing!

You won’t be disappointed, great coolers and kicker is very strong! I hope you enjoy your new Kong. I just got a new boat and need to order a couple more myself. Thank you for watching, commenting and using the code👍🏻

I think with any of the premium coolers the ice retention is going to be so close that a person needs to buy the cooler they like either based on design, price or features. Of course some people care about where a cooler is made too. Thanks for watching the video and for commenting!

That would definitely be frustrating! I have never had a latch break. Was it the Metal or the plastic part?

@@JoeRevis plastic cracked. And the other won’t close enough to latch and stay.

Go to kongcoolers.com and scroll to the bottom of the page. There is a link to click for warranty submission. Click on that and fill out the form. In addition to that you can email warranty@kongcoolers.com , but I would definitely fill out the form on the website first.

@@JoeRevis yeah I did all that. Plus called and left a voicemail. No replies. It’s just sad that a made in China cooler is better built than this thing.

When more than one plank is involved, you have work each plank over. Move the first plank where you want it, stand on it and tap the second over until it clicks into the first, and repeat the process until you have moved the entire row of planks. Sometimes putting thicker baseboard molding down is a good option if the floor was cut short on the install. In my case the planks have just shifted slightly and created a small gap that can be remedied with this method. Thank you for watching and commenting on the video👍🏻

@@JoeRevis thank you

I would suggest the Kong Cruiser if you are going to be carrying the cooler for any distance. It is a 50 qt but has wheels and is very durable.

We have a 50 and yes it can be heavy for one person. I looked at the cruiser but ultimately I did not like the fact it’s taller and thinner. I really did not want wheels affixed permanently even-though they would occasionally be useful. The regular Kong 50 is more versatile and can easily be transported with a cheap luggage cart if need be.

Thanks. Ended up going with the 50.

I have found that mistake in almost every cooler ice retention test. I would even be good with comparing a 65 to a 65 which we know some manufacturers are not exactly telling us the true volume.

What aspect of the cooler would you like to see? I do have other videos on my channel testing Kong Coolers. If there is something specific you are wanting to see let me know and I will do my best to put a video together. Thank you for watching:)

I agree with you, the average person doesn’t need that much ice retention, and if ice lasts one day longer, it’s really not a big deal. However it is an area where we can compare coolers with each other. If a person buys the cooler that they personally like best, they will be happy with it! I was going to buy a Yeti when I discovered that there was a cooler manufacturer only 10 miles from my house, that was Kong, so I bought that cooler, and I love them!

Yes the discount code still works, thanks for watching the video!

I bought it at harbor freight , you can order online on their website

I think they said "nahhhhh"😅

damn that's bullshit, nvm on kong then lol

damn that's bullshit, nvm on kong then lol

So does every other cooler if you actually read the details.

At the time of making the video they were covered under lifetime warranty (or at least I thought they were). Thank you for the correction!

I use the 25 for day or overnight trips mainly.I bought a house I’m remodeling 2 hours from where I live, so will put frozen food in it and bring it from one house to the other. Another thing I use it for is to keep hot things hot. If i need to keep a dish hot to bring to a party or dinner at someone else’s house. My daughter has a 25 also and uses it for Uber eats and door dash. She does food deliveries. Kong has a 20 now, that is a little narrower and taller with a shoulder strap. It can hold wine bottles and 2 liter bottles upright. So that may be one to consider if you are looking for a smaller cooler. My suggestion would be to look at the measurements of the 70, 50, 25, 20. And pick based on how much area you want to take up in your vehicle. If room is not limited I would suggest getting the 70. King also makes a cruiser 50. It is on wheels and is great for wheeling around. It is very heavy though, weighing 50lbs empty. It is extremely durable and well made, thus the weight. It is also a different shape than the kong50. 20 weighs 15lbs and holds 20 pounds of ice 25 weighs 23lbs and holds 30 pounds of ice 50 weighs 33lbs and holds 60 pounds of ice 70 weighs 38lbs and holds 80 pounds of ice I hope this is helpful! Please ask if you have any more questions!

Thanks so much for your response! We use the Ozark 50 on boat trips, fishing and to store drinks and food but the ozark actually doesn’t retain ice as well as we thought it would, and my husband has wanted a Kong but got the ozark, so I’m wondering if a whole Ice bag fits inside the 25, usually it’s just us 2 on the boat and we take up to 20 drinks at a time with a couple snacks but the ozark just feels huge for 2 people for leisure trips. So I thought maybe something smaller where we could take to the beach as well.. so in your opinion because you have both sizes, do you think it’s a good investment to buy the 25, or just go ahead and get the 50 even though we already have one? I want to get it for him for Christmas so just stuck between choices

I want to get it for him for Christmas so I’m kind of just stuck between sizes

Yes, it slides the that board over, so then you have to do the same to the boards behind it. In this particular case there are only two boards behind it.

I can’t remember honestly, but i don’t think so.

They do have a wheeled cooler, but you might have to pick up to put in a truck, etc. Next cooler I get will have wheels. Getting too old to lug around heavy coolers.

The insulation and they have to be to be so durable. There is a reason an Coleman, etc are so light. If you don't beat up your stuff or need more than 1-2 days of ice retention, you are just fine without a rotomolded cooler. With that said, I own a Orca, Grizzly, and Yeti. I may get rid of two to buy a roto with wheels.

Just a suggested from a potential Kong buyer. Plan your set ups. If your going to be putting it somewhere for transportation load the ice after you placed it in a vehicle, cart or boat. I see people loading this way at the gas station all the time! You can also keep your ice in heavy duty large freezer bags. When you get to your destination you can temporarily remove the weight of the ice and place it back in after you set it in your favorite spot. Draining off water out of the cooler doesn’t affect much of the ice retention properties. Walmart sells a 16.00 siphon pump . Easier than the bottom drain.

I’m going to get me one . I narrowed my search to the Kong and the Orion but like the closures in the Kong more

My mind was blown too! I wasn’t expecting it to hold my weight, I thought I would probably end up in the hospital with metal embedded in my leg, and a broken cooler.

I captured it from Facebook, and when it disappeared from FB, then I posted it on RUclips just so people can see it. I cut the audio because of the language and also so people couldn’t complain about their voice being on it. I’m not sure why FB deleted it, but did not want it deleted from RUclips, so I took no chances.

@@JoeRevis...oh, okay...I understand. I did find another one with good quality and the full meal deal after I posted that reply. The reason I found these is because I searched as like you said...the fakebook video got censored...probably because it was on a "commercial" fishing web page if I recollect...a sports fishing commercial webpage and this was caused by a fishing guide's negligence. Just follow the money...

@@dandettmann595 All of these boating accidents like this now are the cause of these daddy bought guide boats with some teenager PUNK or man child 20 ish woke gay knuckle heads High on drugs. I was on the Willamette channel when my client said I smell dope where is that coming from. I looked up wind to see a Punk ass teenager guide in a daddy bought guide with clients in the boat and the fool was smoking on a water bong with pot ! I called * 24 direct line to the Coast guard to turn in that ass wipe in and hours later the Coast guard showed up then took the punk guide away and towed his daddy bought guide boat with clients off some place

On another day was the overrated alcoholic moron guide Jack Glass son in his guide boat drag racing another teenager guide daddy bought guide boat both has clients in their boats running through us who are trolling for salmon in the Willamette River slough at St Hellens.

Update. Bought it from the manufacturer with the discount you provided and it was cheaper than at Amazon. Thanks

I have not done a color test, I do want to do one though! I did see a cooler review before where they tested two of the same cooler and saw a slight difference. I would imagine in direct sunlight it would be more noticeable.

@@JoeRevis white best at reflecting light, hence retaining lower temperatures, lighter colors next, and the least efficient are dark colors.

Yup my local store told them to come get their yeti coolers.

@@justinacase2623 Savage! Hating the constitution is bad for business these days, especially when Yeti should remember how many HUNTERS use coolers to keep their kills fresh on the drive back home...

Whatever happened to having the freedom to choose whether you like guns or not? Is not freedom to choose also a right?

@@foxkenji freedom to choose is no longer a right, unfortunately.
