At the time of this video, I’ve had this cooler for about two months. I’ve used it multiple times on the boat and in the car for groceries. The most unique thing about this cooler is the fact that it is entirely aluminum both inside and out. Aluminum does not hold heat like plastic. It gets very hot or very cold very quickly with minimal energy from the temperature source. This causes the cooler to get very cold very quickly without depleting the ice. In fact, it can become cold just from the cold food that you put in it on a grocery run. So for that situation, it is functional without any ice. However, when using the ice provided the interior walls of the cooler get cold immediately and stay cold. you’ll see in this video after six hours of use in the hot Florida sun. It still has ice crystals inside and is very cold. in the same scenario, the yeti cooler would be cold, but not this cold and the ice would be liquid as opposed to still solid as you’ll see in this video. I’d say for some people the only drawback would be it’ll debt. For me, I think it adds character and I look forward to the bumps and bruises.

Finally someone who doesn't make me feel bad about all the coolers I have. Lol
Lol. Amen!
I love and baby mine 😂 got it during the launch and it still looks purdy. I mostly use it for beer…36 cans of beer. But also shopping and farmers market stuff, very nice lightweight package for keeping perishables cold for the day. Loved the review! Keep em coming.
Thanks!
I stay outside from 6am till usually dark from work to baseball practice so my coolers are a lifeline for us. We live out of them and as yeti fan, i own about ten different ones, hard and soft coolers. Considering getting one of these too. I will say I've seen my yeti freeze bottles of water from nothing but ice several times. No rock salt or anything to bring down the temps . I find these coolers interesting though.
Thanks for sharing! I totally agree. I own a bunch of yetis and this one I use almost exclusively on my flats Boat for fishing. It fits perfectly in the compartment and keeps everything super cold all day long. We use the soft yeti because we carry them up to the beach.
Love mine too, great for bringing a hot take away back home.
Right on!
Had mine for about a week and it’s awesome!
It really is!
They should make a stainless steal version.
That would be nice. Probably heavy
@@bobbygfl maybe stainless steal just on the outside layer, not the entire cooler.
Holy cow, I thought you were about to put the cooler in between the seats right in front of your air vents on your truck. I am curious if it will fit there, I have the same back seat room. I am wanting this to put their to have access to a cooler inside the truck but still have people sitting on the outer two seats. I would have loved it if you would have showed that. I don't want to purchase such an expensive item for not to fit, I have measured it, but it's difficult since the seat contours aren't exactly square.
It would definitely fit there in my truck anyway.
Geez..look how easy it dented when he dropped the ice in.
This would never survive in my truck.
It does dent easy but I like the dents oddly. Gives it character.
Is there any concern about treating it rough and losing the vacuum seal insulation qualities?
I do not have any concern of that. You would really need to actually crush it for that that to happen.
This cooler failed the UPS testing in the back of a UPS truck during SoCal summer months where temperatures are 20-40 degrees higher than ambient outside temps. The oyster cooler with their thermal battery ice packs and adding a half bag of ice did not last to the 6 hour mark and by 8-10 hour mark drinks and contents were warm to the touch and ice packs also very warm and fully melted. Testing was done in the LA region at the end of July of this year (2024). Daily temperatures were between 98-108 degrees between the hours of 9am-8:45pm PST.
Wow, that’s interesting. my experience with this cooler has been better than any other cooler I have had.
@@bobbygfl I go through coolers like crazy and everything from coolers to work boots, coffee mugs and cell phone headsets should go through a UPS proving as I like to say lol. Yeti failed the back of the UPS truck testing as well and returned that cooler many years ago. After trying the oyster I ended up going back to rotating out with my Stanley, Rtic and Pelican coolers. Those 3 have been able to withstand the heat a little better than everything else on the market from my testing. I also must say that the 98-108 air temps does not reflect the heat in back of a UPS truck. Easily add 20-40 degrees to a daily temp and had my thermopen temperature gun was taking daily reading in back of the UPS truck at 120-148
I really have a ton of respect for you and the working conditions. I’ve gotten to know many UPS drivers over the years and they are always so friendly. Usually sweaty lol but very friendly!
Looking to get one. Curious if it'll dent if a kid or adult sits on it. Thoughts?
Absolutely not. I weigh 220 and I can use it as a stepstool. Because of the rubber feet it is very sturdy. it doesn’t crush or sink it does ding and dent with smaller, concentrated blows if that makes any sense
I wonder how that dent got there 😂
I love the dents lol. Builds character!
The math says a Yeti Large and medium fit but I see in the Video they don't, because the radius of the corners, of the Ice and cooler are different. Have you discovered some combination, of Yeti Ice sizes and thicknesses, that best fit together most efficiently?
This is a great video idea. What fits perfectly is the four pound and two one pound blocks. One of the one pound blocks has to be put on its side. I’ll make a video. Thanks for the idea. With the thickness of yeti ice it’ll keep it cold significantly longer.
@@bobbygfl Did you weigh the Oyster Ice, for reference, or try any combination of Yeti Thin Ice sizes, with or without their regular ice? I'm look forward to your next, cooler/ice, review.
No, just physical dimensions. I will do a video on this
Does it keep cold for at least 2 days?
Yes, definitely. I would say three days in the garage still cold.
@@bobbygflis that with or without ice?
Does it really need the ice packs? I wonder if it is ok to use any other ice packs
I’ve used yeti ice with the same great result.
I used Oyster’s thermal battery ice packs but found better results with the Artic Ice packs using their green and blue ice packs but it only kept things colder for about an hour longer in the back of a UPS delivery truck
The oyster icepacks are designed to prevent freezing of the cooler contents.
Will a gallon of milk fit in there?
Two gallons will side by side
I want to buy it but I think it's really expensive for a cooler.
I agree, but if you’re in the market for a yeti in many ways, this performs better.
No wonder why people won’t pay back their student loans and have no retirement savings…
$500 for a cooler 😂😂😂😂
Lol. Yes, not low priced. That’s for sure.
Can you sit on it?
Absolutely, you could stand on it
Looks Inside bottom is easily can dent as soon as you throw the ice pack in bottom is dent 😁
