hello I just got the same cooler a couple days ago. I have a smaller yeti cooler. some things I found out after I got it out of the box. supposedly with the marketing materials they said that the drain plug is recessed Well it is slightly recessed but the cap itself sticks way out unlike the yeti which is recessed completely so if you wedge it in somewhere it won't break off or have any other issues. The vacuum release is a nice feature there isn't any gasket on it which is surprising for a cooler that's this expensive. I like the handles but one thing I noticed on mine I saw you operate yours and anyway the rubber latches are about two and a half times stiffer than the yeti. I hung some iron weights with a strap comparing the two because it seemed like it was difficult to open the frosted frog even though I'm not disabled or anything. The yeti rubber latches take 10 lb of downforce to operate. The frosted frog takes about 20 to 25 lb of downforce to operate. It seems like you have to sort of grunt and really put some effort into operating the rubber latches compared to competitive coolers. So I'm not really sure I'm going to keep it It otherwise looks like it would hold ice really well I like the color and it is only the latches and the protruding drain plug that for me are the major issues.btw, The current price as you probably know is quite a bit higher than what you paid! I bought this supposedly on sale at about $300.
Hello. I didn't have anything to compare it too so I didn't know about the drain and the latches. Also, it sucks that prices have gone up. Sign of the times. Best wishes!
Such a good idea!!! Thank you 🤙🏽
