YETI Rambler Gallon Jug, Vacuum Insulated, Stainless Steel with MagCap

I currently have 3 RTIC coolers- the soft day cooler, plus the 20 QT & QT45 QT hard coolers I only have one YETI coffee tumbler I do like RTIC prices better and there quality is pretty good. Ok Lets start off. For Comparison, I got the one gallon jug in White from RTIC and I used that for 2 days. I compared it with with the one gallon jug in yellow from YETI that I used for 2 days. *Biggest thing- The RTIC doesnt hold one gallon. The RTIC only hold about 116oz. The YETI holds 128 oz. So, if you go with the RTIC and trying to drink one gallon a day, youll have to drink 1.5 cups (12oz) more to reach you goal. *Second is leaking- I have the jug in the passenger seat of my truck while Im driving, and the RTIC does leak a little when it falls on its side. I havent seen any leaks from the YETI yet. *Third thing is the weight- RTIC is lighter and smaller that the YETI. RTIC weights about 2.1 lbs while the YETI clocks in at 4.1 lbs. A two pounds difference! So initially, I went with the RTIC because the price was better but I was taken back that it doesnt hold a full gallon as advertised. Being smaller is nice and everything, and its lighter to pick up and carry. Im drinking 1 gallon of water a day, so the fact Ill have to drink more that the RTIC jug isnt good. Also comparing the metal handles, the RTIC seems much more fragile that the sturdier handle of the YETI. My only complaint with the RTIC 20QT hard cooler is the flimsy handle, so it does seem like YETI makes better handles. My justification for keeping the YETI and returning the RTIC: man reason is I want a full gallon to take with me all day and not have to drink extra to meet my goals. YETI has a 5 year warranty so if you break down the price, its like buying a $26 water bottle every year for 5 years. I hope this review was helpful

I must say my gut clenched when I hit confirm for this because of the price. But my hubby spends hours in the field in the heat during harvest and the 1 & 2 qt jugs u can find weren’t enough. There was almost no choices for a gallon except for the very pricey (gulp) Yeti, and maybe some other random things that wudnt do. Yeti passed the test with flying colors! We’d load it with ice and water in the morning- and after spending hours either on the hot floor (engine heat?) of our little semi or in the combine- even if the ice was gone at the end of the day the water was still ice cold! We filled it two days ago to go for a picnic. It spent at least 7-8 hrs in very warm conditions. Came home and left it. 48 hours exactly from first filling it (and we had opened it to drink as is evidenced by the amnt in the pic) there was still decent sized ice chunks left! Amazing. If this thing lasts us for a long time I think I’ll be able to say it was worth the price- although seriously $129 (approx????) is plenty no matter the quality. That’s my only complaint. The magnetic holder to set ur lid on is very strong- so no excuses for losing that lid!!!!

What caused me to give this 4 stars instead of 5? In order to prevent it from leaking, I have to CRANK the lid down so hard that it takes everything my wife and I combined have in us to unscrew it to clean and refill it, one holding it and the other unscrewing it. And both of us are large strong people. If the lid is just normally tight, it leaks around the rim of the lid like a sieve. And, no, its not cross-threaded, it screws on smoothly and easily. Pros: Everything else. If it werent for the need to use superhuman strength to close and open the thing, Id want to give it 6 stars. Sturdy bottle, sturdy handle, magnetic holder for pour spout lid works great, this thing is a tank.

I got this water bottle to keep in the car for my dog on hot summer days. Its in my car 24/7 with temperatures reaching over 100 degrees and the water is ALWAYS cool when it comes out. Its come in handy time and time again when I was in a road trip and was thirsty, after hikes, stranded with a flat tire and of course for its original purpose, keeping my pup hydrated on hot days. I’d buy another if they werent so expensive, but well worth it for any dog lover.

This thing is awsome at work. It last me all day with water and Ice.

No metallic taste or smell. Easy to clean and durable. Kept my water cold for hours. Returned this item because it was too heavy for travel and bring to work. I got the 64 oz instead which is my ideal size for on the go.

I got this gallon sized Yeti for my English Mastiff to keep his water cold on long trips and it worked perfectly when traveling from CT to GA! I compared it with other ones a little cheaper and found that some comparable but cheaper ones were reviewed and said to be rusting, so I paid a little more for the confidence I have in Yeti products. Very happy with my decision!

Very satisfied, I decided to splurge on myself for my birthday with the Yeti. I drink a gallon of water everyday and for years, Ive drank it was as it warmed throughout the day. Ive finally decided Im older now and deserve some cold water on the hotter days at work. This will keep ice for about 48 hours honestly, I bought two, 6 big cube trays for cheap and it was all well worth it. Trust me I was skeptical at first because for the price I could of got 2 or maybe 3 cheaper brand, but at the end of the day I only need one currently. Im a firm believer in that you get what you pay for and I believe if I would have went cheaper I wouldnt be as satisfied. **For the people that complained about the lid, it does help to open the cap first to help release the vacuum seal when opening. I will agree the lid IS tough at times (I find it most difficult in the mornings) but thats what makes the insulation so good. I have left this in my car on 90+ degree days, in the sun and still the water has been cold enough to give me brain freeze. Also! Side note, this can also be used as a small cooler for a couple sandwiches, etc., Or can be used for hot soup!!

Love it, honestly, was debating if I really needed something like it, but it seriously keeps my water fresh and away from outside influence, unless you treat it like an unwanted child and leave it in the sun in the car with windows up and all, then it will get a bit warm, but not insanely hot, which is cool because it wont scortch while drinking. Just keep it clean routinely and you will love it. Only complaint I have is, I really bwish it came with like a Small sock or rubber base cover as to not be a safety concer to the passers by. Like with the sleeve on its cool, but on the days I do t want the pocket sleeve and want to travel light. A fabric sock or rubber base cover would be great to cover the base and not have to worry so much about where to place it, and accidentally bumping. Also the borrow is prone to scrapes and the like, possiblity of rust too, so would make sense to at least have the option to buy. Instead you could buy a mount for the back of your car. Like wtf is that for buddy. Conventional use please. Thank you.

This container has very limited practical usage. Yes, it does keep liquids at desired temp for a long time even in direct sun exposure for hours. Yes, its very durable. The fun stops there. I can see this being used for water storage in harsh conditions like construction sites, camping trips, etc. If youre looking to just have it on you for regular use throughout the day, look elsewhere. Its too heavy; carrying it around can be annoying due to weight, and this is coming from a regular gym junkie grown man. Not easy to operate with one hand; this is obvious of course, however due to weight and bulkiness of it, its also cumbersome to have it in your passenger seat in the car and picking it up/putting it down back with one hand at that angle is also annoying. The lid is a HUGE pain in the neck to open up half the time. As all other reviews state, this can be a daunting task which would probably not suit most people. Overall, if you are getting this container for the purpose its intended to, then you will love it and the price tag will be worth it. For casual daily use it probably wont work out. Im going to be returning this and most likely purchasing 2 smaller yeti bottles instead just for the ease of use. Or I may explore other options.
