YETI Tundra 35 Cooler

Spending this amount of money on a cooler is crazy; I waited a year and went through two other coolers before I bit the bullet and bought one. It is not very convenient to carry, I wish it came with wheels like my Igloo. The only downside is that in order to get the max Ice retention ability, like you would need before a car camping trip during hot weather, it needs to be seasoned with Ice a couple of days before you leave. Two days before we leave I buy a sacrificial bag of Ice to get the cooler to temperature. The day we leave I empty it, put in a fresh bag, it holds about 14 pounds of ice, depending on cube size, and the ice will frozen for 6 days! As I would expect with a cooler of this size and construction it is very heavy especially when full.

I now own Two Yetis and will own more. Solid, Sturdy and the list goes on. Living in Arizona the extreme heat is cruel to regular ice chests. I did a test between my old ice chest and the Yeti. I filled both with ice and left them in my garage in the middle of summer with 122 degree heat outside so inside the garage had to be brutal. The other ice chest lasted 2 days. The Yeti had ice for 5 days. Most compelling though (and I show this to friends) every time I checked the ice I would close the lid and within seconds you could pull on the Yeti straps and the top would not open because it created a vacuum so strong you had to yank on the lid. Thats a powerful cooler with an incredible seal. The pricing is above average but it will be the last cooler you ever buy.

I had no issues with this cooler. Holds my ice a few days about 4 days then it turns to cold water. This would be when I fill it about 75 percent with ice or 15 pounds of ice. I can sit on it no issues. Perfect size for a lunch and a few drinks or an 18 pack of beer.

As you all can see in the picture this tundra 35 leaks even though I have tighten it as hard as I can. This really sucks because I really wanted it and need it. But for that much money that is unacceptable.

Surely worth of money. I was worried that I saw some reviews that complaining about it’s not holding ice longer than a day. However, It does its job. Of course it is not powered freezer that ice will melt a bit over time. And it will melt quick if you keep open and close the cooler. Here are pros and cons Pro: Good looking Firmly lockable latches Keeps inside temperature long enough(i went on camping for a week. although ice is melted, food inside was kept fresh for whole time. Compared to coleman cooler, Yeti did last longer and cooler) Con: Empty cooler is heavier than you might expect Pretty big for 35qt cooler Conclusion: worth of money, get it. Btw i was bit worried that receiving the product on time, CS rep was very friendly solved my issue.

We travel for a living and this is the perfect companion. We keep our puppies fresh dog food cold for days with the same ice. Love the color and function. It is a smaller cooler so I would recommend a bigger size for serious camping or a long trip.

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!

Amazing item, works great as everyone said it would.

Super heavy duty and rugged. But what else would you expect from YETI

I got tired of going away for a weekend only to have the ice melted the following day. Works great.
