Yeah probably that pint of Haagen Dazs is just as unhealthy outdoors as it is sitting on the couch at home 😂

[@NoZenith]

I don't think I'll be taking ice cream haha but the price of everything edible is just freaking skyrocketing so I decided convenience for a portable refrigerator / freezer for weekend road trips was doable. I want to be able to load up the fridge, put it in my car with a battery so it stays cold while I'm at work and then leave work and head out on my trip without going home. I don't know if I'll get the good out of my expense or not but the convenience and effortlessness of this appealed to me greatly. I ended up getting an Ecoflow Glacier after shopping everything for it being quite a bit smaller and lighter in Dimensions while still having pretty good interior capacity with the similar to this convertible Dual Zone capability. Love that it's so much bigger inside than most of its competitors with the same footprint and weight since they use those vacuum insulated panels (more efficient insulation).

[@mysoulcalledlife]

He literally explained why he doesn’t like using ice at the beginning of the video.

[@jonsanford2515]

I don’t think you did the math quite right to come up with 6 weeks of use to pay for itself. At $2 per bag of ice, accounting for just the $187 difference in price between the Yeti and the Iceco, it would take 14 weeks. At $3 per bag, 9 weeks. If you factor in the cost of the battery, it’s 9 months to a year to pay off. From what I can tell, the $500 Yeti is 75qt vs. 55qt for the refrigerator. That may be a fair comparison given how much space the ice takes, but I don’t know for a fact. The 58 qt Yeti is $300. So that’s more like 6 months for equal volume cooler. If you already own a cooler, it’s not just the difference in price, but the full cost that you have to save in ice before it pays off. That’s 6 months without the battery, or a year with. This is a cool setup for the right person. It might be worth considering if you’ve decided to purchase a Yeti, but haven’t pulled the trigger. But, it doesn’t pay for itself in 6 weeks of use.

[@AdamDrew]

His math also requires the battery pack, solar panels, and additional fuel required to charge it from his car all costs $0.

[@tommyh.8391]

This is nothing more than a commercial for another cooler, battery pack and solar panels. Don’t look at Yeti, don’t look at bagged ice, look over here at this.

[@jonsanford2515]

@@AdamDrewthere’s no extra fuel cost. He charges the battery while he’s driving. He doesn’t include his $600 battery, though. If you need to keep stuff cool for more than 3 days sat a time, the refrigerator would eventually pay off, even with the cost of the power supply. Just not as fast as Steven figured.

[@Penny-mk7fv]

Didn’t he say 2 bags of ice per?

[@jamiejfowler]

@@jonsanford2515the energy to charge it is not free, it comes from the vehicles alternator, which in turn uses power from the engine, which comes from burning fuel. The more power draw, the harder the alternator is to turn, and the more engine power it takes to turn it. It isn’t enough to be a noticeable difference in engine power when driving, but it does use more fuel to charge things than not.

Thank you!

[@jpgabobo]

Back in the day I bought a cheap (under 100 dollars) coleman 5 day cooler. Would last for TWO weeks, IF you knew how to pack it, Dry ice, newspaper etc, and NO bags of ice to melt into a pool of floating wet junk. This was in areas like Death valley to Moab. No electronics, No smart sh*t, just good packing. Yeti is a sign of the times - their prices are an inverse reflection of, well, you know...

I would use this for work. I sometimes have to travel, by car, 7 to 10 hours away from home. Turning the car off at multiple hot stops, then get a hotel with a tiny fridge. By the time I get there my stuff is soggy and gross. And I have to stay for like a week wherever I end up. So this would be a massive inconvenience taken away. No more soggy sandwiches

[@alaskabornheathen8902]

I don’t know if this company makes smaller fridges but I know that Dometic makes some very small fridges like lunch box sized and everything between. Dometic does have a sweet feature where if you leave the fridge plugged into your car; it won’t drain the battery so low that you can’t start it. Maybe iceco has that feature too, I’m not sure.

[@myself248]

@@alaskabornheathen8902You're thinking of the Iceco GO20. Personally I think it's a little small, and a lot overpriced, because it's dual-zone for some silly reason. (Dual-zone doesn't make sense below 40-liters, IMHO.) I'd go for something like the BougeRV 23, which is single-zone and phenomenally cheaper, and more than adequate for roadtrips as described.

You can get an electric cooler for less than $200 , sometimes as low as $100 if you catch the right sale. Admittedly at that price they can be a bit on the small side and lack the ability to keep things frozen but if you are on a budget you still have options.

June and July I am doing 6 weeks in my van, and kayaking Maine and Nova Scotia. I wont use NEAR 60 bags of ice. That’s ridiculous. I may use 10. Plus my yeti, which is actually bigger than the one pictured isn’t wheeled so it costs substantially less than that $500 wheeled cooler. Let’s just say, the math here is slightly exaggerated.

[@joeystalloney5109]

Big box store $100 coolers are 9/10 as good as yeti, and if you want to stop buying ice simply freeze gallon jugs of water. Added benefit due to the water being self-contained is that same volume of ice lasts much longer than ice simply dumped in cooler (ie when uncontained ice melts in cooler the liquid in contact with cooler transfers heat from outside much faster than liquid contained within separate container). In my experience frozen gallons last at least 50% longer than blocks and easily twice twice as long as cubes.

[@freeadventurers3112]

What a waste of a lot of money. There are a lot cheaper fridges out there than the expensive ICECO, also the added expense of the ICECO battery bank and solar charger. I have a cheaper Alpicool I have been using non stop for 5 years with no problems. And Inhave installed two deep cycle batteries that charge from the alternator on my pickup. Probably $1,000 cheaper.

[@phookaziz3]

I get it, its your camping hobby, and thus your disposable hobby dollars. I can also see a use case as an emergency back up in the case of a power outage. However, with proper use and preparation using a rotomolded cooler like a yeti is far far far more economical than the video presents. We used one far larger than in this video and only bought 2 bags of ice for a total of 4 bags, for a 14 day trip. (Would have been even less if we had purchased larger bags from in town). 1. Precool the cooler - bring the cooler into your house from the attic/garage etc. then put some icepacks, like you put on a bruise, or some things are shipped with, to get the cooler to fridge temps. (later replace these with step 2) 2. Put frozen water bottles in the bottom, this is your first ice load, and by mid trip will be pleasantly cool fresh water for drinking. 3. Freeze ahead items you won't use till later in the trip, like the water it will be a huge block of cold until mid to late trip and by then will have thawed ready to be used/reheated. 4. pack the cooler as full as possible with items that are already chilled/frozen. 5 limit the times you open the cooler. 6. (optional but helpful) keep a separate cooler/container for beverages and other frequently used items. 7. If you really want ice cream in the field, have some fun and learn how to freeze it in the field. (Ice and rock salt old school, or dry ice methods new school micro gastronomy style).

[@kevinmcgennan8110]

OK so it stays in the car most of the time, but if a fridge comes out some times why would they make it in a heat absorbing colour? That is dumber than dumb. Note that Yeti is white. I'm with you, fridge over cooler except for simple day trips.

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

Well gosh. It is not a simple as this video implies. Keep it simple if you are out in the boonies for a week at a time. A Pelican cooler in a larger size is but a bit more than a Yeti yet is superior. If using BLOCK ice, a quality cooler can last 7-10 days in Summertime Baja., more in cooler temps. I have used a variety of 12/24v coolers ( ICECO, Engel and Dometic) and I rarely take them, rather I use them at home for freezers. Thanks for the video.

[@PaulDekleva]

What is the average hourly usage in amps of your 12V fridge ? Do you use a deep cycle battery? In Australia, we use a lot of different 12V fridge brands and some are better than others. I have a 45 liter Engel fridge powered by either the car as I drive or a 120 AH (amp hour) deep cycle battery hooked up to a 200 Watt solar panel. My battery never goes flat and gets recharged every day by the sun ☀️

[@MikeyxMayhem]

Yeah, for the power station and the fridge and the solar and the whole deal its just the cost of 4 high end coolers! No big deal or anything

[@DaveOffGrid]

Well I'm throwing my name in! Would love to win one to use for the same reasons you use it! Car camping trips where we don't want to deal with a lake in our cooler! I also have the power station already with solar panels so this would be a great addition. Nice video Steven!

[@slange455]

Nice but what about during the summer when vehicle is like 120 degrees…guess If camping you would remove it and when driving it would be the same charge backup

[@1FAST91SONOMA]

I paid $270 for my Alpicool TW35 and it is extremely efficient 11.54W per hour on averaqe across my 2.5 years of ownership and yes, I've kept it running 24/7/365 with its optional snap-in battery (wont disconnect and fall off from a small bump, unlike a magnetic afterthought battery), AC, or DC from an Ecoflow. You get a lot for your money with Alpicool... dual zone, with drain plug, wire baskets, reversible lid with built in cutting board, and internal light all for less than the Yeti

[@photog1529]

I got a great deal a while back on a Dometic 75L dual zone unit for less than the cost of a much smaller unit. Didn't want something that large originally, but the low price and fact that I have a Suburban I'd still have a lot of extra space in the vehicle. I run it off a 12VDC plug and use a rooftop solar panel with a 100ah lithium battery and DC-DC battery charger. Really liking this setup for car camping and photography expeditions. Believe it or not, for about $250 more than the cost of this Yeti I was able to buy the Dometic unit on a special sale. Personally, I think Yeti is overrated and overpriced for what you get.

[@jeffroetzel9239]

My wife and I, and sometimes our nephews, drive from Colorado to Minnesota. My wife and I also do some car camping.

[@bbol745]

My theory is to spend less on the fridge and more on the battery. In my minivan camper I have a cheap mini fridge from Walmart and a huge bluetti power station. This offers more versatility in my opinion. First off, if the refrigerator breaks you can replace it almost anywhere. Second, having a bigger inverter allows more options to run other equipment like a coffee maker, or small water kettle, and third, a larger battery allows for longer runtime between charging as long as you keep power consumption to a minimum. The $100 dorm fridge only uses 55-65 watts when the compressor is on but requires minimum of 800 watts of inverter capacity to start it. My bluetti has a 1000w inverter and 1.5KW of storage capacity and you can get larger models from other brands for a similar if not lower price now. It’s also easier to keep it running at home if you wish, just plug it in. Dont be concerned about longevity either, I have had my Walmart special galanz mini fridge since August or September of 2020 and it’s still going strong even after tens of thousands of miles on NY’s abysmal roads.

[@sultanofsick]

I have been thinking about something like this for day trips and the tiny bit of camping I do, but even the sale price of $700 ish seems a bit much for that. It would also potentially be a nice emergency backup. I've already got power stations and solar panels, just not really a good place to set up solar living in an apartment complex. The one little bone I've got to pick with this is Yeti is the absolute WORST price comparison to make. There is nothing magic about their coolers, any cheap brand of the same style (I've seen as low as $100 but it's been a long time since I've looked) will work just as well.

[@Astp9999]

I would have loved to have this on our spring break trip last week! It would have been so nice to have for food/drinks on the 8 hour drive and camping on Peanut island in Florida. We had to ferry twice to get ice for 2 nights, and the temperature didn’t get above 80!outside. It was also my son’s birthday, so on the second ice trip we brought back ice cream in the cooler and ended up with wet ice cream mess before we could serve it.

Why in the world would they make a cooler black? I live in the South and that seems just plain dumb. Most people here learn very quickly that black vehicles are nice looking but they bake in the Summer. Coolers have the same issue.

If you do the math on the savings the most important part of this equation is that your are not spending any of your precious vacation time doing boring unimportant things like looking for ice, managing, worrying about ICE. Nothing worse than being 20 miles away from somewhere and having to go get ice. Sucks!

You know, some foil lined inside a $50 cooler will give you pretty much the same performance as a yeti. You could also use a second styrofoam cooler inside a slighter bigger plastic cooler...

[@tompannill4562]

I really like the idea of a fridge vs a cooler. If nothing else the same size unit provides more room for food/drinks because you don’t need the ice and not having to restock ice on longer trips means there’s more time for activities, less gas used etc. I’m starting to get into truck camping vs my beloved backpacking and would love to have something like this as part of my set-up.

I would like to have the cooler. My family and I do family camping and we take long road trips. Being a family of 6 packing food saves a lot on trips and being able to save on the ice would be a huge bonus.

I have been dreaming to have an Iceco fridge. We just bought a new bronco and are planning a trip from Indiana to Moab and back. It would help tremendously. Iceco mailing already done!

[@berdalenelson7979]

Would love to win this! I could use it on my weekend road trips to state parks or to have in my vehicle when I return from a backpacking trail to have some cold beverages. Plus it would help to get my city born and raised wife into the outdoors more. Have a great day!

[@horsedog713]

Wow, glad I found this video. I’ve been looking for an electric cooler to take camping with our RV. So tired of replacing ice. Hope I can win your giveaway away!!

I would love to win this battery powered cooler. My family and I truck camp all over Colorado and Utah in the spring and summer. This has been on our radar for a while but did not like the cost.

I would use this cooler for both trips with my daughters' Scouts BSA troop and the cross country trip I'm planning to do where we visit and camp at the national parks.

I would love to have one of these fridges. We backpack and camp at State Parks and it is a pain to run in to town for ice every couple days. It would be great for road trips as well! Not to mention, ice takes up space in the cooler. I hope I got this comment in before the contest ends.

If I won, I'd be getting it too late for my upcoming road trip next month, but it would be really handy as I get back into doing outdoors stuff. It would also be really helpful if I move off grid again.

I’d use it for road trips (I like to meal prep and bring my own food) and camping in the middle of nowhere West Virginia. We wouldn’t have to have water logged bacon 😂

[@happyhiker2665]

My kids and I would definitely use this cooler on a road trip to the East Coast. haven’t seen my family in over two years and want to do the trek from the West Coast home. Would definitely save me a ton of money not having to stop for fast food and allow us to maintain healthy eating habits on the road. We would definitely use it for our summer camping trips, last summer was a total bust, and we didn’t get to go out at all because of conflicts.

I may get a fridge like that one day, but my RTIC cooler is just as good as a Yeti for much less $$, and I use bottles of ice and cold packs. Nothing gets drowned in melted ice.

[@Evan_Le5]

That’s a lot of reliability on some electronics, wouldn’t want to get too far out with one of those. Also funny to see it in black since it absorbs more heat from the sun.

[@erikcolwell5815]

This would be awesome to use on my long weekend ADK camping trips.

[@ragzz117031]

I've got a 23 day backpacking road trip near the end of this year that would be really cool to have this in my kit. Would be a good way to avoid eating junk and peanut butter sandwiches on the driving days between destinations.

[@LisaBarnard-in1qw]

I’ve recently bought a Hiker Trailer and I’m planning a 2 week trip out west. I would definitely use this on that trip. I hate dealing with the cooler and the melted ice getting into everything even if I double bag

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

I own a nice cooler and a bunch of highend ice paks. It works well but my next one will be a fridge, likely Dometic.

[@goldgoat22]

I've got 100w of solar and 100ah of battery on my homebuilt teardrop. This would be an excellent addition to my setup.

[@KnittedSchnauzer]

Those 12v fridges make all the difference in traveling with food. I would love one for my new teardrop I'm picking up this Fall.
