Great Review! I just purchased this cooler in Gray for the back of my 2023 Honda HRV to have during the hotter months in Alabama. I have 3 boys that are always asking for something cold to drink while in the car on short and long distance travel. This will be perfect!
Another big factor is pre-chilling all your drinks and food. If you do that with pre chilling the cooler, you’ll get several days. That just goes for any cooler, water bottle, thermos, etc.
Little tip for those that are worried about a lack of drain plug: use a tube to siphon water out, literally a straight tube will work. Put it in, jig it up and down and watch the magic. Just make sure your tube exit sits lower than where the water is going in at.
Great video. I bought one back in December Nordic Purple and absolutely love it. I keep it in my car for groceries along with my Tundra 45. They will both be going camping this year.
Just letting you know draining that water will dramatically increase the temperature... Believe it or not that water is helping keep it very cold so I would only drain. If you? Have. Certain things that need to be dry
Thanks for the feedback and for watching 🙏 depending on the circumstances I will leave the water yes to keep it cold. If I have an opportunity to drain and feel with some fresh ice than I will 🔥🥃
Thank you for testing this Yeti over many days. You sold me on this! I will be purchasing one at my local army base. (For you active/retired military personnel out there, $180 for the Roadie 24 at the PX where there is no sales tax)
Good testing of the yeti, but didn't take in consideration that coolers get moved around camp so the ice just doesn't sit there, the cooler was not in the sun if your not lucky to have shade, also it gets opened and closed all the time from people getting drinks and moving ice.
thank you for doing this video. I'm considering this cooler. I was surprised there is no drain plug. You should have had your RTIC tested side by side with this.
Picked one up today 20%off I had to try one.I wouldn’t have bought it otherwise but out the door it was still $200 so not cheap but if I’m not happy i can return it.
My observation / question is: You did this January 7th - 12th. What was the temp outside when you did this? Also, your test in a shaded garage, in winter might yield different results as opposed to July 7th - 12th left in the backyard in the sun.
I own this cooler in red and I also have a Tundra 65. My 65 I had in the navy blue like yours but the lid warped I think the darker colors absorb sunlight and this can be an issue. I did contact yeti and they replaced it and the process was extremely easy. They even shipped me a Tundra 65 in tan. Great products and excellent customer service. I do love the roadie too but the lack of drain plus is a little annoying but not a deal breaker.
Great video, great info. Should get me a day or two less when it's out in the sun. Was thinking about the hopper or this one. I'm leaning towards this now.
Thanks for watching and the feedback. I don’t think you can go wrong either way….both are great products it’s all about preference. The Hopper is a great grab and go, more portability the only flaw is that zipper IMO it’s heavy duty ( which is the point) but the fact you have to be applying lubrication stick to it constantly and the fact for that style of cooler there is ZERO storage for a bottle opener, snacks etc I would def go Roadie. Good luck with your purchase 🔥
Thank you for watching, I also use my RTIC 20 and it is very very reliable just as much as the Roadie. The drain port is definitely a plus and certainly comes in hand in those time you need to dump it easily. As I stated in the video I have seen those drains leaks over sometime but still a mystery as to why other than the roadie all other sizes have a ports. Again thanks for watching 🔥
The drain holes at face value seems to be a deal breaker to most people. But if you really use your brain, you realize that no drains is better. Because like the man said, you never have to worry about air or leak from the drain hole. And i seen youtube videos where the the cooler enthusiasts say to leave the water. Because it helps keep it cooler longer. When u take the water out its like your removing insulation from the remaining ice. The water helps the ice last longer actually. But, all that being said, i have always been a perfectionist, and because of that, i would only get models without drain plugs. Because the drain plug is just adding unnecessary drama. 🎭. Also, now my final statement. Yes i like how theres no drain plug. But the ONE and only thing i HATE about this cooler is the height. The height just makes the cooler look ridiculously ugly. And harder to get in a small cars trunk. If only they kept the height of the 15 Hardcoolers height and adjusted all other measurements to make it still a 24, then it be perfect. But unfortunately, because of the height i have to choose the smaller 15 even though its to small. If Yeti was smart, they make a 24 with the height of the 15. Then they have perfection. But regardless, they make this so hard to pick. ✌️
My beer never last 24 hours. Long as the cooler has white lid you're good. If opened several times an hour too? But yeti is bear proof!! So if you have a problem with bears? Yeti will do! Lol
@@kyobear5453 anything to reflect suns rays. White insulated lids. Thermo bags from Walmart are cheap. You fill the bag up first inside a cooler. Anything helps. It’s 110 now where I live. Ice won’t last with any cooler. Just give it some help.
Thanks for watching….I won’t be making a second video but there are a ton to choose from on here already by other users, I’m sure you will find what you are looking for. Thanks again
Ballpark guess I would say roughly 70-75 degrees. Recorded this video during pretty cold weather. The temp in garage is usually about 10 degrees warmer
Seriously you tested this cooler in your garage which is at 57 degrees in January, that’s not such a great test. Realistically who’s really packing and using a cooler when it’s 57 degrees out in January not such a great real world test.
@@darrylelliott7445he came back and said they were not bear proof until you go to thundra where the lock ports are molded in. he was just saying they are durable like those.

The long term ice test is very much appreciated. Nice work.
Thanks so much for watching

That’s actually a great tip. Obvious on reflection but great tip

I’d love to see this done … good idea tho

Funny, if I add ice when there’s already water in the cooler, the ice melts twice as fast.

Thanks so much for watching 🙏 I love my Roadie and I know you will too !! 180 is a hell of a deal and worth every cent 🥃🔥
$128 on dick's after coupons
Just bought one in tan and a 4lb ice pack. It costs £199 over in the UK, so is comparatively more expensive than the US. Great review👍
Thanks for watching, sounds like an awesome setup you have going 🔥🔥🙏
the yeti ice fits so perfect in the bottom too
Would love this one on wheels and with a drain! The 48 is just so heavy!
Great review!
Thank you for watching 🙏

Just got mine yesterday, red, 24 hours later, ice still hasn't melted, im very happy
Hell yeah 👍
thank you for doing this video. I'm considering this cooler. I was surprised there is no drain plug. You should have had your RTIC tested side by side with this.
Possibly in the future, My Yeti outperforms the RTIC coolers by about a day. RTIC still a very excellent choice if you want to save a few bucks
Picked one up today 20%off I had to try one.I wouldn’t have bought it otherwise but out the door it was still $200 so not cheap but if I’m not happy i can return it.
You won’t want to return it, enjoy 😊
Thanks, that was a great ice challenge.

Thanks for watching, I addressed the answers to your questions in the video.
Great video. Just bought this Rodie in red today from ACE Hardware today and your review helped make my decision. TY
That’s awesome !! The rescue red is a fantastic choice !! Thanks for watching and glad it helped !! Enjoy your new Yeti 🔥

They replaced your navy one AND gave you another 65 in tan?
Correct. They asked what color I wanted so I chose that one.
Sorry, they replaced the navy one I had with Tan.
@@SeanStewart88 oh I was going to say that’d be incredible. Good customer service nonetheless.
Exactly the video I was looking for. Thankyou.

Great test and video, really really helpful for my own decision. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for watching, hope you enjoy your new cooler !!
Great review - thanks!
"Boss status" 😎
The only way to show up to the party 🎉
Excellent review. I have the RTIC 20 and really like it. I will say for $250 this Yeti should come with a drain.

Thanks for watching 🙏 it’s called Lunar with the Chinese Calendar assigned 🍎

“Long as the filler has white lid you’re good” what do you mean by that? I am just curious as someone getting new gear

What if you do the same test but leave it out in the summer heat or in a car
Thanks for watching….I won’t be making a second video but there are a ton to choose from on here already by other users, I’m sure you will find what you are looking for. Thanks again
Great video. What is that cart behind the Yeti at the start?
None of your business! 😂
great video
Appreciate it
Very nice video good explanation
Thanks for watching 🔥
Did one of the beer bottles cracked because of the minus temperature ? Freezed Beer ?
Im good ' i love my Grizzly coolers "
🤪🤪🤪🤪
Great informative video.
Thank you 🙏 much appreciated
Made me go out and buy one.
🔥🔥🔥🔥 enjoy it
It’s magic tbh
Buys a 300$ cooler, puts eat the rich sticker? Make it make sense
Thanks for watching 😜
Do you know the average temperature of your garage when you did this test?
Ballpark guess I would say roughly 70-75 degrees. Recorded this video during pretty cold weather. The temp in garage is usually about 10 degrees warmer
Thanks!@@TheRichest88
If you add sea Salt to your gallon it will last longer, even the ice will adhere to it
Thanks for the tip and for watching 🔥
Just got mine for $80 from a crack head brand new great deal
Came with crack too?
Was it Hunter Biden?
the test doesnt make sense you should have replenished the drinks as you would in a real life situation
Your right i apologize 😎
If I’m at the beach or in the sticks I don’t replenish my drinks
Appreciate your for your video I bay one and is amazing yeti is the best and thanks for all your information be safe 🫡🫡
You’re welcome 😊
I’d just put the whole thing in the freezer.
Hahaha that would work
Seriously you tested this cooler in your garage which is at 57 degrees in January, that’s not such a great test. Realistically who’s really packing and using a cooler when it’s 57 degrees out in January not such a great real world test.
Your right what was I thinking, thanks for watching 😂
These aren’t rotomolded sadly injection like most others
Also these aren’t certified bear proof
@@darrylelliott7445he came back and said they were not bear proof until you go to thundra where the lock ports are molded in. he was just saying they are durable like those.
