How many people own a yeti cooler?

Does anybody have a Brute Outdoors cooler? They are similar to the Yeti but cheaper.

 

I just drink hot beer.....

 

When I do a search for Brute coolers, Bison Coolers comes up...one and the same?

Later.

 

Bought one in the P.I. Last year and it has served me well, to purchase at full price I would go with a fridge/freezer. As coolers go it does one heck of a good job and on any long trips I smile each time my friends marvel at the ability to produce cold drinks.

 

Yeah they rebranded/changed names

 

I own a 45 and use two of the 125's for work - they perform well, generally keeping ice a day or two longer than our other coolers. Got the 45 for $165 from REI after 20% off and my annual dividend.

 

I left mine in the sun in my boat for a couple days my lid did the same thing yeti made me ship mine back and they sent me a brand new one mine was almost a year old at the time they have the best customer service

 

Love my 65, other than how it basically sags the truck when its loaded down! and it freezes my drinks sometimes...

 

Thanks!

 

I was actually about to email them for any discounts they might offer. I was looking at them a lot back in Aug/sept and still think I like them the best out of all the higher end coolers offered. I was confused too when I went back to the site and the name had been changed

 

Talked about them here "extreme" or high end coolers

 

This post is just full of wins!!! Yeti's not only hold ice longer, they actually drop the temperature of it's contents below freezing...

 

There are a lot more coolers in the market now that are giving yeti a run for their money. There are lots mentioned in this thread. Still trying to figure out which I go with.

but for real, loaded it down with rock salt and woke up the next morning to like 4 busted cans

 

I'm not impressed with my Yeti, at all. Sure, it holds ice, but not really any longer than my friends', who have Pelicans, Igloos, etc. I knocked mine over a few weeks ago and water was coming out of the seal between the lid and the cooler body. I called Yeti and they said they couldn't make it air-tight, due to pressure issues and the lid blowing open or something. However, I've been hearing that the old Yeti's (pre-2010ish) were a lot better, before they sold out to a Chinese company. My fiend has an older Yeti and you almost have to get a screwdriver to pop open the lid sometimes; his cooler holds ice way longer than mine. I got my Yeti as a Christmas present a few years ago and I'm going to keep using it until it dies, but when it's time to get a new cooler, I'll definitely be shopping around. Other downsides are the lack of room and the weight. I have a friend who paid half the price for a Pelican and it holds 2-3 times the amount of mine and weighs about half, as well.


However, I also have the Yeti 20 oz. aluminum tumbler and the aluminum coozie for my bee…..eh….root beers and I love both of them. My 20 oz tumbler will easily hold ice overnight and the koozie keeps my brews cold

 

I have 2 a 35 and roadie.

They keep ice longer than my coleman. Just gotta watch and make sure they don't grow legs.

 

So a tad of a thread revival, but I've got the 20oz tumbler and it will hold ice all day long. And I do a lot of outside work (doing soil investigations) and it has no problem keeping ice in it all day long even in the summer. Definitely nice to have ice cold water after digging a hole down to 5 feet in Piedmont clay in 95 degree/95% humidity...

Can't speak for the coolers except I know they're pricey.

 

Glad you revived the thread. I still have my Yeti Rodie and it's still alright...nothing great, but not terrible either. Recently, I won a Yeti Hopper 20 and we ended up trading it in, plus $100 for the Yeti Hopper 30 and it is amazing! It's been in the high 90's for the past few weeks and I usually fill the Hopper up every Saturday morning for "adult beverages" and there is always left over on Tuesday and sometimes even Wednesday. The Hopper is definitely a badass cooler.

Back to my Rodie...it's alright, but the seals don't seem tight enough. My friend has one and you almost have to have a screwdriver to pry his open (his also holds ice longer than mine). My hopper just shuts and doesn't seal like his, which results in ice melting faster....but it is still better than most other coolers.

I, too, have a Yeti Tumber 20 oz and it's freaking amazing! I usually drink my coffee out of a Tervis Tumbler and I have to reheat it after about 20 mins, but when I use my Yeti, my coffee stays hot for hours...with ice, it easily lasts through the night if I don't finish a drink and leave the cup sitting out overnight.

 

Coleman extreme is it. YETI may do a day better. However, that's a big price difference for about a day worth of ice.

 

Bingo. I pay 5$ for ice on thursday (prime college drinking day) and i still have cold drinks for saturday at the beach. Yeah i buy one more bag but i'' never get close to what a yeti costs in my 4 years ive spent buying ice. lol
