YETI Roadie 24 Review and Ice Challenge

[@LaverneFaith]

Great Review! I just purchased this cooler in Gray for the back of my 2023 Honda HRV to have during the hotter months in Alabama. I have 3 boys that are always asking for something cold to drink while in the car on short and long distance travel. This will be perfect!

[@TheRichest88]

That’s awesome 😎 thank you for watching !! Hope you enjoy your New Yeti !!

[@michaels9595]

The long term ice test is very much appreciated. Nice work.

[@TheRichest88]

Thanks so much for watching

[@JordanCrowderFilms]

Another big factor is pre-chilling all your drinks and food. If you do that with pre chilling the cooler, you’ll get several days. That just goes for any cooler, water bottle, thermos, etc.

[@lacelotte7385]

That’s actually a great tip. Obvious on reflection but great tip

[@heatherdunbar421]

Great video. I bought one back in December Nordic Purple and absolutely love it. I keep it in my car for groceries along with my Tundra 45. They will both be going camping this year.

[@Deven210]

Little tip for those that are worried about a lack of drain plug: use a tube to siphon water out, literally a straight tube will work. Put it in, jig it up and down and watch the magic. Just make sure your tube exit sits lower than where the water is going in at.

[@TherealoneEA]

I’d love to see this done … good idea tho

[@tedk3850]

Thank you for testing this Yeti over many days. You sold me on this! I will be purchasing one at my local army base. (For you active/retired military personnel out there, $180 for the Roadie 24 at the PX where there is no sales tax)

[@TheRichest88]

Thanks so much for watching 🙏 I love my Roadie and I know you will too !! 180 is a hell of a deal and worth every cent 🥃🔥

[@DUNGSTA]

$128 on dick's after coupons

[@deannaswenson8810]

Would love this one on wheels and with a drain! The 48 is just so heavy! Great review!

[@TheRichest88]

Thank you for watching 🙏

[@LetsTubetalk]

Just letting you know draining that water will dramatically increase the temperature... Believe it or not that water is helping keep it very cold so I would only drain. If you? Have. Certain things that need to be dry

[@TheRichest88]

Thanks for the feedback and for watching 🙏 depending on the circumstances I will leave the water yes to keep it cold. If I have an opportunity to drain and feel with some fresh ice than I will 🔥🥃

[@CRASS2047]

Funny, if I add ice when there’s already water in the cooler, the ice melts twice as fast.

[@hunterluxton5976]

Just bought one in tan and a 4lb ice pack. It costs £199 over in the UK, so is comparatively more expensive than the US. Great review👍

[@TheRichest88]

Thanks for watching, sounds like an awesome setup you have going 🔥🔥🙏

[@mcnastyshark4083]

the yeti ice fits so perfect in the bottom too

[@ms.jgarza3423]

Good testing of the yeti, but didn't take in consideration that coolers get moved around camp so the ice just doesn't sit there, the cooler was not in the sun if your not lucky to have shade, also it gets opened and closed all the time from people getting drinks and moving ice.

[@TheRichest88]

Thank you for watching 👍

[@SeanStewart88]

I own this cooler in red and I also have a Tundra 65. My 65 I had in the navy blue like yours but the lid warped I think the darker colors absorb sunlight and this can be an issue. I did contact yeti and they replaced it and the process was extremely easy. They even shipped me a Tundra 65 in tan. Great products and excellent customer service. I do love the roadie too but the lack of drain plus is a little annoying but not a deal breaker.

[@chandlereyre8792]

They replaced your navy one AND gave you another 65 in tan?

[@SeanStewart88]

Correct. They asked what color I wanted so I chose that one.

[@SeanStewart88]

Sorry, they replaced the navy one I had with Tan.

[@chandlereyre8792]

@@SeanStewart88 oh I was going to say that’d be incredible. Good customer service nonetheless.

[@stusrt]

thank you for doing this video. I'm considering this cooler. I was surprised there is no drain plug. You should have had your RTIC tested side by side with this.

[@TheRichest88]

Possibly in the future, My Yeti outperforms the RTIC coolers by about a day. RTIC still a very excellent choice if you want to save a few bucks

[@richiegruber4473]

My observation / question is: You did this January 7th - 12th. What was the temp outside when you did this? Also, your test in a shaded garage, in winter might yield different results as opposed to July 7th - 12th left in the backyard in the sun.

[@TheRichest88]

Thanks for watching, I addressed the answers to your questions in the video.

[@pjlacey3990]

Great video. What is that cart behind the Yeti at the start?

[@OGRH]

None of your business! 😂

[@drakejdf]

Picked one up today 20%off I had to try one.I wouldn’t have bought it otherwise but out the door it was still $200 so not cheap but if I’m not happy i can return it.

[@TheRichest88]

You won’t want to return it, enjoy 😊

[@TEXASLOYAL]

Just got mine yesterday, red, 24 hours later, ice still hasn't melted, im very happy

[@TheRichest88]

Hell yeah 👍

[@MrDraper38]

Great video. Just bought this Rodie in red today from ACE Hardware today and your review helped make my decision. TY

[@TheRichest88]

That’s awesome !! The rescue red is a fantastic choice !! Thanks for watching and glad it helped !! Enjoy your new Yeti 🔥

[@ganzgenau706]

Did one of the beer bottles cracked because of the minus temperature ? Freezed Beer ?

[@adob8694]

Exactly the video I was looking for. Thankyou.

[@TheRichest88]

Thanks for watching 🙏

[@rebelrider7651]

Great video, great info. Should get me a day or two less when it's out in the sun. Was thinking about the hopper or this one. I'm leaning towards this now.

[@TheRichest88]

Thanks for watching and the feedback. I don’t think you can go wrong either way….both are great products it’s all about preference. The Hopper is a great grab and go, more portability the only flaw is that zipper IMO it’s heavy duty ( which is the point) but the fact you have to be applying lubrication stick to it constantly and the fact for that style of cooler there is ZERO storage for a bottle opener, snacks etc I would def go Roadie. Good luck with your purchase 🔥

[@laptacksea]

Great review - thanks!

[@ericschmidt7351]

Do you know the average temperature of your garage when you did this test?

[@TheRichest88]

Ballpark guess I would say roughly 70-75 degrees. Recorded this video during pretty cold weather. The temp in garage is usually about 10 degrees warmer

Thanks!@@TheRichest88

[@joebishop7909]

Great video, on a side note what watch face is that on your Apple Watch ? I like it.

[@TheRichest88]

Thanks for watching 🙏 it’s called Lunar with the Chinese Calendar assigned 🍎

[@passiontriathlon8057]

Great test and video, really really helpful for my own decision. Thanks a lot!

[@TheRichest88]

Thanks for watching, hope you enjoy your new cooler !!

[@adrianvaldez8831]

What if you do the same test but leave it out in the summer heat or in a car

[@TheRichest88]

Thanks for watching….I won’t be making a second video but there are a ton to choose from on here already by other users, I’m sure you will find what you are looking for. Thanks again

[@TexasSon74]

My beer never last 24 hours. Long as the cooler has white lid you're good. If opened several times an hour too? But yeti is bear proof!! So if you have a problem with bears? Yeti will do! Lol

[@kyobear5453]

“Long as the filler has white lid you’re good” what do you mean by that? I am just curious as someone getting new gear

[@TexasSon74]

@@kyobear5453 anything to reflect suns rays. White insulated lids. Thermo bags from Walmart are cheap. You fill the bag up first inside a cooler. Anything helps. It’s 110 now where I live. Ice won’t last with any cooler. Just give it some help.

[@rhick382]

Excellent review. I have the RTIC 20 and really like it. I will say for $250 this Yeti should come with a drain.

[@TheRichest88]

Thank you for watching, I also use my RTIC 20 and it is very very reliable just as much as the Roadie. The drain port is definitely a plus and certainly comes in hand in those time you need to dump it easily. As I stated in the video I have seen those drains leaks over sometime but still a mystery as to why other than the roadie all other sizes have a ports. Again thanks for watching 🔥

[@dman357]

Made me go out and buy one.

[@TheRichest88]

🔥🔥🔥🔥 enjoy it

[@alengomez4818]

Just got mine for $80 from a crack head brand new great deal

If you add sea Salt to your gallon it will last longer, even the ice will adhere to it

[@ellis_payne]

the test doesnt make sense you should have replenished the drinks as you would in a real life situation

[@TheRichest88]

Your right i apologize 😎

[@augieschultz2530]

If I’m at the beach or in the sticks I don’t replenish my drinks

Buys a 300$ cooler, puts eat the rich sticker? Make it make sense

[@darrylelliott7445]

These aren’t rotomolded sadly injection like most others

[@darrylelliott7445]

Also these aren’t certified bear proof

[@rossrobichaux9425]

​@@darrylelliott7445he came back and said they were not bear proof until you go to thundra where the lock ports are molded in. he was just saying they are durable like those.

[@RecyclingMama]

the roadie is not airtight or bear proof

[@TheRichest88]

That’s correct, had you watched a little longer you would have heard me correct my mistakes. Apologies for stating an inaccurate feature and for ruining it for you

[@birdie1497]

Seriously you tested this cooler in your garage which is at 57 degrees in January, that’s not such a great test. Realistically who’s really packing and using a cooler when it’s 57 degrees out in January not such a great real world test.

[@TheRichest88]

Your right what was I thinking, thanks for watching 😂

[@azazelone905]

I’d just put the whole thing in the freezer.

[@TheRichest88]

Hahaha that would work
