YETI Tundra 35 Cooler

Well, we had to do it. We had to buy the Yeti. Everyone said they were one of the best coolers out there. Get a Yeti they said. So we did and this one was purchased on Warehouse Deals in good, used condition at a cheaper price so why not. We were so excited to become Yeti owners that we were unpatiently waiting for the brown Santa Claus to arrive and when he did we nearly tackled him to the ground to get the Yeti. We really didnt know what to expect from this as its just very hard to pay such a high price for a cooler when we were convinced that we were just paying for all the hype of the brand name but... We were now Yeti owners! Heres where the good stuff comes in. We went camping for 5 days over Memorial Day weekend. Jeeping to be exact at the hot ass and sandy Haspin Acres in Indiana. We took food, alcohol and drinks to hold us over for 5 days. We also took a 52 quart Ozark Trail cooler from Wal-Mart (the tan one, Yeti knock off looking thing), another cheaper cooler from Wal-Mart, I think its a Limited 55 quart (grey blue and black) and a white coleman basic cooler. We put all coolers in the freezer to pre-cool them before we filled them. Although we camped in a shady area, we had to repeatedly put ice in all coolers except for the Yeti. Over the 5 days we did add ice to it but it was also the only cooler that held the ice and didnt have a bunch of water in the bottom of it. At the end of our trip we emptied all contents out of all coolers except for the ice. The Yeti had more ice in it than all the others even though it was the smallest cooler of them all. Needless to say, if you are looking for a comparible cooler to the Yeti and dont want to pay the price, the $97 dollar grey Limited or Liftetime cooler we purchased from Wal-Mart came in a close second. The Ozark was okay and the Coleman was terrible. Now I dont think you need a Yeti for everything but if you need things to stay cold for a few days, you will spend less money on ice and ruint food in the long run if you just buy the Yeti.

Good quality, but heavy ..

We followed the instructions and put frozen food in the cooler for a three day trip and the food was still frozen. Exactly what we wanted!

I didn’t know what all the hype was about a yeti cooler. Decided to pay up and try. Read up on details, instructions, comments. Followed advice to put 1 bag of ice in cooler the day before use to prep the temp. Totally amazed by performance. Used over 3 day weekend and came home with cooler still full of ice. Price is only downside but very happy with investment!

We have wanted either a cooler that can plug into 12 volt or electric or a better one like a Yeti. We had ordered a plug in cooler but it came damaged so we returned it and figured if it can crack apart that easy in shipping it would not hold up camping. We have heard Yetis hold ice and coolness a long time so decided to try on and very happy to report after 8 days still had some of our original frozen ice bottles. Now in a warmer climate we are using ice and in and out of it and it still retains the ice for days, very happy!

ITS A YETI

It was a hit. My husband loved it. However, if this is a gift and you think youre being sneaky and that it will come in an Amazon box.... youll be wrong. It said Yeti in gigantic letters all over the box. If this had been left in my porch- you could have read it from the road- and it would probably have been stolen. Great product-- poor packaging!!!

This a great cooler. As advertised, it holds ice forever and is incredibly sturdy. I really love this cooler.

So far this cooler keeps can drinks much colder and ice lasts way longer then any of many coolers I have owned

Yeti cooler fits great in the back of the car. Use it to bring cold groceries home from the store.
