We put on a family get together at our house and didn’t have any extra fridge space and decided to invest in a good cooler. However, we didn’t want to pay as much as a yeti costs hence why we looked for a more affordable option. We came across this cooler and decided to give it a shot. Not only does it have the same feel with the handle latches (very easy to use), it keeps things cold just as long (and it seems like if not longer) than the Yeti!! It was a very hot day and the cooler was sitting in the sun. The next morning, we opened up the color expecting to see nothing but water but there was STILL ice left in it. And the drinks were still cold! I don’t write reviews often but had to for this. If you’re looking for a cost effective cooler that works very well, look no further!
