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.

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!

The long term ice test is very much appreciated. Nice work.

Great video. Just bought this Rodie in red today from ACE Hardware today and your review helped make my decision. TY

Excellent review! Thank you for doing this! 👍🏻

Exactly the video I was looking for. Thankyou.

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.

Would love this one on wheels and with a drain! The 48 is just so heavy! Great review!

Great test and video, really really helpful for my own decision. Thanks a lot!

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)

Great review - thanks!

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.

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👍

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.

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.

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

Just got mine yesterday, red, 24 hours later, ice still hasn't melted, im very happy

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.

Great informative video.

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.

Did one of the beer bottles cracked because of the minus temperature ? Freezed Beer ?

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.

Great video, on a side note what watch face is that on your Apple Watch ? I like it.

Very nice video good explanation

great video

Great video. What is that cart behind the Yeti at the start?

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.

Excellent review. I have the RTIC 20 and really like it. I will say for $250 this Yeti should come with a drain.

Made me go out and buy one.

"Boss status" 😎

It’s magic tbh

What if you do the same test but leave it out in the summer heat or in a car

Do you know the average temperature of your garage when you did this test?

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

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. ✌️

Appreciate your for your video I bay one and is amazing yeti is the best and thanks for all your information be safe 🫡🫡

Im good ' i love my Grizzly coolers "

Buys a 300$ cooler, puts eat the rich sticker? Make it make sense

Just got mine for $80 from a crack head brand new great deal

If you add sea Salt to your gallon it will last longer, even the ice will adhere to it

the test doesnt make sense you should have replenished the drinks as you would in a real life situation

I’d just put the whole thing in the freezer.

These aren’t rotomolded sadly injection like most others

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.
